"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I don't think so. At least the last thing I read didn't seem like a conclusion. But I haven't been following that one with bated breath like scaramouche's It's Always the End of the World Somewhere timestamps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a completely unsupported suspicion that the feedback she got on that one was pushing in a direction different from where she'd intended to go, and that people weren't responding as positively to the character as she wanted them to.

That was one of the few times I actually read a fic's comments, because something didn't feel aligned.

So, in my head, she punked out. At this point, I have nothing invested in her characters, I just interested in a meta way how she's going to make it work out.

However, scaramouche...just...man, I love those kids.

I've been dealing with insurance shit. I really needed the laugh. One of the funniest bits of fan fiction - well, ever.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, I didn't realize that AO3's recent overload problem was mostly due to ff.net drama. AO3 currently has 17,000 people in the invitation queue.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Wow. Fandom's...big.

Always Anti-fascist!

holy shit...really? Weird. Kind of frustrating, too. (Because it's wonky a lot lately.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

What ff.net drama? Are they all migrating to AO3? Someone on my FFlist said the other day the frequent outage was from all the Avengers fic.

I heard the Avengers thing too, but I think it's a joke. ff.net is cracking down on explicit fic, apparently, and people are migrating.

I mean, I'm sure Avengers fandom doesn't improve the situation. Except for me, and my reading situation.
