Having seen the passage in question, anything other than caps would look wrong.
I've been reduced to cramming with my source. This is fun. It's like homework.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

Typo, Yuletide is an annual small- or rare-fandom ficwriting exchange, where the authors' names are kept secret for a week (or two? I forget) and it all goes live on Christmas Eve at midnight.
This is the 5th (?) year of existence, and every year it gets bigger and bigger, and every year around this time my LJ flist turns into lots of flailing and desperate appeals for beta.
As a non-participant, it's very amusing to watch. Also, there are some fabulous stories to come out of it.

Part of the fun is seeing all the ways you can utterly fail to write your story until the last minute! Actually, that's what inspired me to finally do it last year.

I signed up for Yuletide this year because of peer pressure. But hey! I just uploaded my story.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Typo, if you're at all intrigued there's always the New Year's Resolutions option - ie checking out the list of fandoms/pairings that were requested and DIDN'T get written. There's always a heap of things, and oftentimes it can provide one with a nice storyprompt without having the headache of a deadline to meet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Crappity. I have no title for my story. I'm sitting here with the upload page open and all filled out except for the title.
I mean, really, who came up with the idea of giving things titles anyway? Why can't we just say, "that story with the guy who does the thing?"

E-mail me the story. I'm sometimes good at titles. Profile addy works.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I picked something. It works. More importantly, it's done.
Thanks, though
