I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Oh, and RE the Farscape con report: I've never pictured you as blonde. I decided this is because a "Consuela" is definitely not a blonde - but I can see how your fic handle might be.

Sorry to yell at you, Katie. I'm being a bitter old fic queen this week. Must be hormones.

No no, that's okay. I didn't feel yelled at, just strongly encouraged.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I haven't sent feedback because I'm, um, lazy and evil. And also I haven't finished reading the rewrite.
XF fandom (or ficdom, I suppose) has changed a *lot*, I think. Or I only think so because I never read lists anymore. I think feedback will start coming through.
Or it might be Yahoo fucking up. My lj notifications have been haphazard this week.

I try to send three feedbacks a week. This week, too busy, and read very little. Heh.
Weird. I just realized I still managed it, not even including my Silverlake feedback.
Cool. Go me!

You're neither lazy nor evil. I know you & HG will say something. But Jean's been stalking us for 2 years and all she did was say, "oh, it's finished." Hello??
Bitter much? Absolutely.
And yes, the fandom has changed immensely. Most of the folks on the Haven have clearly never heard of the series.
Also, Ephemeral never picked up the first 10 parts. Which is a bit of a problem. I need to fix that but it's such a hassle...

Having been raised by Puritans, I understand the old "I don't know them, they'll think I'm rude for sending something". Being a writer, though, seeing email from someone you don't know that's obviously not spam is a thrill to get you through the day. I have, however, gotten to that overly sophisticated stage where a "I really liked it" frequently inspires a "that's lovely, but what did you like about it?" My issues. I need to remind myself that someone actually took the trouble to click on the feedback link and wrote some words.

Always Anti-fascist!
If I love it, I write lengthy feedbacks. If I like it, I do say so. And sometimes, though, not lately, I sneak around on Ff. net and act as grammar fairy.And mention stuff like "Giles would know the difference between 'manner' and "manor". I know there is no point, but I would not be able to live with myself otherwise. I've had nice conversations with a few ficcers I've given feedback to.(other than you guys) but some of them don't say thanks or anything. but that e-mail is probably the fourth box or something.

See, for a moment there I thought you meant "had never heard of the television series." And I thought, "Well, it's a bit harsh, but not untrue." Most of them seem to have gotten their idea of good characterization from sappy fanfic, not from the actual show.
