'Safe'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
So's you know.
I do, thanks.
If I just copy and paste them until I hit 1000, does that count?
No.
SA, insent to your profile addy. Thank you!
No problemo. I'll try to get it back to you tomorrow.
Okay, it's almost four in the morning and I haven't even started my paper.
Eh, I'll pull it out of my ass tomorrow before class. I have a headache anyway. Might as well sleep.
I'm at 160 words. I may only have to hit copy and paste nine times.
I should sleep. Fight off this toddler-plague cold.
Bah on colds and headaches.
But on the bright side, I did a Jossverse drabble, a Firefly, and a Farscape. So I've accomplished something.
Good night, dear.
Plei, the challenge might have been for less than 1000 words. Don't think it was 1000 exactly.
I have two paragraphs of dialogue.
I'm so far from a story, I don't even know where I'd look on a map. Fuck it. I'll just write 1000 words of gay sex and call it good.
Is there another definition of good of which I am unaware?
I'll just write 1000 words of gay sex and call it good.
Sounds like a plan to me.
And once again, thanks, SA.
Wow, it looks like I missed out on good discussion while I was away from the computer yesterday. It's always interesting to read about people's take on fic writing/reading.
While I have little trouble reading NC-17, I find that my own writing tends to stick to a PG-13 rating. Also, like UTTAD, I really like to stick to canon when at all possible. What I really like to do, however, is to fill in gaps or uncharted territory in known canon. I think I've read just a little too much Tim Powers in my time.
The Flashficathon is for 1000 words exactly. I know Mad Poetess asked about it, Marqueitte was going to post a FAQ, actually there was one in the email, you just had to scroll down-I didn't notice it until I was staring at the way my pairings were worded trying to figure out if those were separate pairings or a weird way to ask for a foursome.
I have something like 75, of which I'll end up keep probabyly 30.
The problem is I keep seeing it in my head and can't translate it to words. Or when I can translate it to words I'm in the car driving, which sucks.
Huh. Someone just wrote me and told me I should try to use more international slang in my stories.
I have no idea how to respond, especially since it was about a story where Gunn is the POV character. The babe's from SoCal ,and there's no indication that he's particularly well-traveled.
And what the hell IS international slang, anyway?
