Huh. All I saw was a not terribly nice Gillian Anderson post, but no images or anything. Is that because I watch but am not a member?
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Looks like Farscape_Weekly's been hit as well.
I have images turned off for default. Thank goodness.

No. There were a lot of images. It probably took some time to load.
NSFW doesn't even begin to describe, really. Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
Oooh, I did my first fiction beta for someone on LJ, which was kinda cool. She actually incorporated all the edits I suggested, and even made a viewpoint change I suggested. All very gratifying. But then I noticed that one place where I suggested something be altered, when she fixed that she somehow inserted another typo. Ack. And I don't want to nag her, because of course it's her story and she can do anything she damn well pleases with it, but inside I'm thinking "don't you just want to clean up that one little speck so it gleams just a little brighter?"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I would send her an email or make a comnent-- I've done so in those circumstances when I've betaed

People can get tetchy about comments in a public post, though, so I'd second that but suggest email first.

Help! I need a definition. Recently I keep seeing the abbreviaton "h/c" used, and I can't figure out from context what it means. I tried googling, but had no luck. Can someone please explain it for me?

It's usually "hurt/comfort". (Without knowing the context, I wouldn't rule out it being a pairing name-- Harry/Charlie?-- but people generally use capitals for those.)

Thanks! Other than Fay's Harry Potter fiction I only read Supernatural stories, so it wouldn't be referring to a character pairing. Given the amount of angsting that goes on in SPN, I can see where hurt/comfort could make sense.

Hurt/comfort is a fairly common genre throughout fanfiction, particularly used in the sense of manufacturing a difficult situation--the hurt--and having the all-powerful awesome ManLove (or WomanLove, or HetLove, as you will) be the redeeming factor of the aforementioned hurt. I've always seen it as an excuse to beat your characters and then get 'em laid.
