I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yuletide is open for signups.

Also, choosing my requests is *painful*.

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

1,477 fandoms?

Holy shit.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That was painful. Should be fun, though.

I just posted my first crack_van rec. For some reason, I'm more jittery about this than about posting my own fic.

I wonder what it says about me that I'm less worried about people thinking I'm a bad writer than I am about people thinking I have bad taste?

Always Anti-fascist!

I felt the same way Anne. I'm not even a slasher, mostly, which puts me on Fandom's special bus wearing a football helmet.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Does het/gen really constitute a minority of fanfic? I would have thought it was the other way around, except that here there's an unusual proportion of slashers.

brillig

an unusual proportion of slashers

yep, we're all about the unusual proportions.

I think slashers are just noisier--and I think there are more us here than in the general population. It's a slash sanctuary!

And I think you notice things you don't write.

As for me, I tend to write gen, and have little inclination to want to write slash, but I like reading the stuff. Go figure.
