Dear Brain,

[roxy]

Do I *really* need to know what chocolates were in a Whitman's Sampler box in 1924? Does the reader really give a shit? Stop procrastinating and get to the good parts. :(

Lol. I just had to look up what a male hospital pee pot was called. I was like I can't say pee pot!

I know right??? What the heck--who's going to know? Except us. Ha!

[aurora-bee.livejournal.com]

We are pefectionists you see :)

[danceswithgary]

OMG, that's exactly the kind of useless trivia I'd try to research. *snicker*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL! Oh yes, this I know about you! I think you had just as much fun with that 1930s SV AU East of the Sun as I did! (oy, remember that one?)

[day221b.livejournal.com]

*snerk* That sounds like something I would do! And I have done, I might add. Too funny!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It's cray right? I get so wound up in finding out some miniscule fact I forget about the larger things sometimes! :)

[bradygirl_12]

Hey, I wanna know! ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!
ICON LOVE!! ♥

OF COURSE YOU DO!
Do you *really* want your characters eating chocolates that *weren't invented yet*???

THIS IS IMPORTANT STUFF, LADY!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*cringecringecringe* Yes, ma'am! Chocolate covered caramels, ma'am!!

[tabaqui]

Buck up, soldier.
It's all in the details. All. In. The details.

*trips off to research what they called the Army uniforms in Iraq in 2003*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!

*also gazes over your shoulder all wide-eyed and nosy*

[tabaqui]

Heeeee!
I'm plugging away at the first of my two charity fics. I am soooooooo behind. Omg.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ready to offer support! And I've pom-poms! *shakes like a bowl full of jelly*

[tabaqui]

Whoooooo!!
*oggles*

It's a Spike/Xander thing and it's just...i like it a lot, i'm happy with what i've got, i just can't seem to make myself sit and *write* it!! I know where it's going, how it's going to end, just.....wtf?

KICK ME IN THE BUTT, MAKE ME WRITE!!!
*clings*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*peels you off, taps your butt*

Go, now!!! WRITE!!! Because I have not read Spike/Xander in an age and now I have a craving! Hey, if I can get a bit of Public Enemies out after apparently 7 (?!) months, then you can do it!!

Man, I so hate that, when the end is smirking and waving at you from a distance! *fumes*

[tabaqui]

I KNOW! Wtf. All my WIP are like that right now. I have the shape and direction and even ending of the fic but *no words*!!!

It's really friggin' annoying, especially considering how *much* i wrote in the past.
*sigh*

I shall endeavor to persevere. :)

As someone who spends their day either doing proofing or hearing about other people proofing, I appreciate your attention to detail! Reading things at work like "chocolate moose" and "serf and turf" and "nip it in the butt" make me appreciate the intelligent people on livejournal all the more!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Is it me, or do things like "serf and turf" and "nip it in the butt" happen more often now? Almost every story I read now-a-days has something like that floating in it. 'Tow the line' is a really popular one. And you're/your is almost unforgivable! All you have to do is read fanfic, for cryin' out loud, to know how to use that one.

[quiet--tiger.livejournal.com]

Definitely more often now. It's like people don't read. I have a whole group of people who don't know basic crap and should be embarrassed. Apostrophes? Forget it! Commas? Apparently irrelevant.

It makes me weep that people leave high school like this, let alone college.
