I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

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

I do a lot of hoping that childlike exuberance and lack of exposure explains the flaws in various stories.

The ability to see tags that people use when they reblog pictures in tumblr is many things. It's a bit OCD to go look, fine, but that's what extensions are for. And no one comments on the reblog itself, so that's where the responses are.

The idea that strangers would say my picture makes them want to cry makes me want to cry. Legit for me, even if theirs were hyperbole.

So I put my billytea-and-ryan-inspired ficlet on AO3, cause that's what one does these days. 21 hits and 3 kudos in less than two hours, yay, but they seem pretty sparse with comments over there, aren't they?

I hope you like it. It's my first fan fiction and if you don't like something just tell me so i could learn from my mistakes.

One more thing. I don't know a thing about high schools in America so i use what I've learned from movies,so sorry if something is not right.

Oh, I have a feeling this one is going to be a literary masterpiece.

It's true, most popular movies do not go into sufficient detail on the proper use of the shift key.

Some of those uncertain summaries, I just want to take those fledgling writers and cuddle them and tuck them up with tea and a good dictionary/grammar guide. Some of them I just want to shake and say "Complete sentences, dammit! And the word SHIELD actually obeys that rule you should have learned in school!"

But S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a word!

(I am going to be so tired of typing that in...6 days, I predict, if not sooner. Like now.)

Well, if you're going to be pedantic and insist on periods in your acronyms. I belong to the No Periods sect.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's been a subject of debate in online publications (and I guess offline ones), whether they have to use the periods.

I reject the periods.
