Does anyone else have this thing where they scroll through their flist to see what's up but when they scroll through again, posts that weren't there before show up? Or is it just unobservant me?

So, we're well and truly into the swing of BB season. Me and my very dear, dear friend Askellington (what a peach that gal is) have read a few. Sadly, I can't devote as much time as I want to because we have to replace a bit of the kitchen floor. In younger days, I would have laughed it off with a hey-nonny-hey but now, with my rice-krispie joints, I'm so not looking forward to kneeling for a couple of hours.

We're doing a bit of house and yard spiffing up because BG decided that what we needed was a huge fish-fry to celebrate the summer. Sort of a family reunion, come get stuffed on our dime kind of thing. So, ya'll come on over. Bring a dish. :)

Those of you who've managed to read the BBs so far, what have you liked? Any recs?

I've been reading fic lately, but not all of it has been the newest BB stuff. I've been a bad girl and haven't commented much, either. I really need to stop doing that.

It's hard to comment on every story read. I have a bad habit of not commenting on older stories because I'm not sure if the writer will be happy to get one, especially after they've moved on to other fandoms. I know I *love* getting comments on my older SV things but not everyone feels the same.

I love getting comments on my older stuff, no matter what it is, fic or art. I see what you mean, though. What's really disappointing is when you read an older fic, find out it's a WIP, and that the author doesn't plan to finish because they aren't in the fandom anymore. That's why I really don't like starting fics anymore unless I know they've been finished. I don't post my fics until they're finished, since I made the mistake of sharing too soon on a couple of them, and one is still languishing. (Anyone want me to finish the one about teen!Sam losing his virginity?) I've got a SPN mpreg in the works, but the only people who've read any of it are me, my writing partner, and a couple betas.

I have a few WIPs that I fully intend to finish--some day. In the mean time, they sit there making me feel guilty and sorry for the people who started to read them and me leaving them high and dry. I love the stories, but sometimes i get stuck, or other things crop up and crowd out everything else in my brain. (and you should tots finish any teen!Sam story, gosh! :D )

What's sad is that my teen!Sam fic is close to being finished, but the muse just isn't there. Just another chapter or two is all it needs. Since I never have nor never will be a horny teenaged boy, it's hard getting into that mindspace.

It's because of time zones, as far as I can tell. It seems to do weird things to the order that posts will appear on your flist.

I'm starting to read some BBs, although I really don't have time! ARGH! I liked the good old days, where I would have had enough time to actually write a BB as well as read some...er, if I hadn't been so debilitatingly lazy.

Ah. I like that theory better than "Crazycakes Roxy".

I've read a few, only J2 or wincest at this point, enjoyed most of them. The gen stories come last. :)

LJ seems to be being a bitch lately (but then again, when is it not?) :P

I also seem to have posts appearing and disappearing on my flist. I've also had a couple of posts recently that just completely deleted themselves, seemingly at random. One on my actual LJ and two to different comms.

Right now I'm reading Every Old Town's Just Our Past Burning Down. I'm enjoying it! It's basically the only one so far that's caught my attention. I'm hoping to find some wincest to read, at some point, though. Say, aren't you writing wincest?

I *really* liked that one--there's another, The Witch is Dead, (http://dear-tiger.livejournal.com/65262.html) that I liked as well, a mildly wincest one. really weird, enjoyably so.

eta: I *am* writing wincest! Though sadly there's very little porn involved. It's mostly just a lot of talking and rending of garments.

Second on "The Witch is Dead." I've only read a few, and that one definitely stood out. Trying to catch up a bit with the wincest and gen ones this weekend....

It was really beautiful writing on that one. I like a story that takes a chance and doesn't give it to us all on a plate. :)

LJ is definitely being weird. I've found posts appearing that weren't there before and others disappearing. Like I'll make a mental note to go back to a post once I've scrolled through all the posts that appeared since I last checked and when I go back, it isn't there.

The other thing I have issues with, yes issues is that I recently left a couple of communities and RSS feeds and when I went to moderate or leave I found they were on custom filters I have, not all but some which I know for a fact I didn't add them to when I joined because why would I? Especially, the more personal ones.

*kicks LJ*

BB, I am bookmarking at the moment because I haven't much time to read and so I'm bookmarking ones that catch my eye and waiting for certain ones to be posted because I need those ones NOW!

It seems like LJ is doing pretty much whatever it wants to do. I know it keeps telling me my password is wrong until I type it in then it's magically okay.

*smacks LJ*

There are some good ones up already but I'm sooooo impatient for a special few!

My fandom is dead! *cries*

(I had to think for a minute before I remembered what a BB was. How sad is that?)

My knees are so rice krispified that I don't even kneel at church. I salute your willingness to get down onto yours for flooring's sake.

I make pretty good cole slaw. Hope someone's bringing hush puppies.
