Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Michele:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /users/web/mtepper/web/portfolio/software.html on line 1

I am banging my skull against the desk. I just edited about thirty pages of stuff, split screen, reading on one screen, editing into an email on the other. The machine just flickered and reset. Edits gone.

Argh! Nothing in AutoSave? Check the trash/recycle bin.

Fixed the link above, which is to an essay about why software stinks, as it happens.

SNERK!

Am going to wait for Nic to get home and let him see if it's still in there. I'm a technodweeb and will only break something.

I've written stuff for publication, sold very few, made a few dollars. I admit, I did kind of go into fandom thinking "How hard could it be?" and found out the answer is "Harder than it looks, stupid," at least if you want a good fic, not just posting for the hell of it. You people make it look easy. I have only written one of those that I liked.

erika, I'm personally finding fanfic to be much trickier than original writing. Having to fit the parameters of someone else's reality? Tricky. Very tricky.

Ohhhh, yes. Keeping characters in character? V. hard. What's fun, however, is finding those areas of canon or character that invite expansion and exploration of the pre-existing fictional universe.

I like putting my own original character in and seeing if I can keep her interacting with the fanfic characters in a way that feels true to both.

It's a damned good self-disciplinary exercise.

Wrod. Also, the timeframes and whatnot.I still play with it when I am blocked, just to get me started, but have yet to come up with anything that makes me happy enough to share.But I figure, you all need readers, right?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Dude Where's My Car is a fine, fine film. Shibby!

It's just that there's a sweetness to DWMC that is hard to find in silly little films, and I cherish that.

Totally. I was forced to watch that movie against my will, and much to my surprise, I loved it. Thought it was *hysterical.*

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
