Greek mythology author has started a new story.
Once more she read his name on the nametag affixed to his lapel and raised a bemused brow at him asking, “And what shall I call you - Walter?”
“I am much to persnickety to be called anything else."
Buh?
“Michael, ” The King ordered standing, his regal deportment in evidence...
Someone should tell him his regal deportment is showing.
Michael interrupted, pushed his father away, slapped at his own tears and said, “What crap do you want me to concentrate on. I don’t want to live father.” And fell on the floor crying.
Buh?
...I want the wacky Greek mythology back.
Thing one: since when is Walter uptight and anal-retentive?
Thing two: bwah.
Thing three: slapping at tears? And the... slapping? With the -- say what?
Connie, I understand the quandary. Last night, one of the ladies in my Bible study was asking questions about fanfiction, and I told her my pseud.
I have never been more thankful that I write only gen. (Fanfiction itself wasn't a bugaboo--a former member of the group writes Mag 7 fic)
Still, it was a cool discussion. She loves the idea of drabbles as a way to focus one's writing, and was intrigued by some of the challenges I've seen throughout the fandom. One of the things we talked about was how writing fanfiction within a community has allowed me to enjoy writing for writing's sake, to write something
for
someone or a groups of someones, and to get personal feedback.
I told my new writer friend I did that...wrote him smut, too. *Now* he has a problem with it. Guess who's never getting any Faith again...maybe if he begs. I like it when they beg.
He tells me it's a crutch...next time I'll remind him that for me, a crutch is a step up.
Can I play?
Just the simple blue envelope would raise the hackles on the back of his neck.
A yellow one, by contrast, would raise the hackles on his flippers.
He never knew what to expect when he cut through the seal.
Other than a papal bull or some royal writ from the Middle Ages.
This time; however, it was just a simple message...
The punctuational! Equivalent to, a. Twister; game.
Does anyone still post stuff on fanfiction.net?
One of the things that irks me about ff.net is that it tells you that you have new reviews, but you can't see those reviews for hours and
hours
after you know they've been posted. Bleah.
I don't. Too much trouble, between the performance problems they used to have (don't know if that's still the case), the ads, and the restriction on adult content.
Except wait, my Gilmore Girls stuff is up there. Because I am a whore.
I never have. It just seems like too big a hassle. I pretty much only archive at BFA. Some of my stuff is also in character-specific archives, but mostly I'm too lazy.
I post there out of habit, mostly, and because it's the one archive I can think of that will accept Angel, CSI,
and
Sailor Moon.
