Holy Crap

[roxy]

This year is almost over--I can't believe it. So much has happened this year-- some of it pleasant, some of it horrible, pretty much like any year, I suppose.
My little infants have flown the nest, and are doing very well in school, so that's good. My Beloved Niece is leaving for Ireland tomorrow, and that's good and very bad--she's like my own clone, my mini-me. I'm going to miss her like anything--shit shit shit. but I'm really happy that she gets a chance for a unique experience-- everyone should travel, it's so good for you. Plus, hey! Irish guys!

My child, the fruit loops of our loins, is doing very very well in art school and enjoying it and that's a plus. It's hard to separate yourself from your child-- I look up into her little face and remember looking down, I remember picking her up and snuggling her little baby scented self. Time marches on, my beloveds, time marches on.



and speaking of changes--This Thing Of Ours has brought so many into my life. I enjoy it so--well except for those moments where I'm laying in bed, staring at the ceiling and worrying obsessively how Clark would react in a situation I plan to drop him into. Once I only worried about how my tomatoes would get through a late cold snap...tsk. Now I worry "Can lip balm provide enough lubricant for a comfortable screw?" and "how much blood is too much blood?"

I've said this before but I want to say it again-- you folks are the best in the world. You're so friendly, so sweet and so kind--I wish i could do something wonderful for each of you, but all I can do is write the best I possibly can, and entertain you for a bit. Not that I'm some selfless saint of Porn, here, the joy your feedback gives me is so addictive and so heartwarming it makes me smile all over. it's not much of an exaggeration to say I live for it. *sigh*

I'm not making any New Years Resolutions, but I do want to do better at feedback to all you brilliant writers. The original reason I got this thing was to tell ya'll how much I love you.
Faculty Folks! Please, let's have more-- I miss your brilliant tales and I think you ladies know who I'm eyeballing-- BDS'ers, brilliant, but please lets have more, there can never be too much Conner and Murph, how I wish I could write in that fandom *sigh*

All my Smallville ladies, ya'll rock! What can I say, our fandom is amazing. Best writers best brains best looking--I say this because I've seen pics and whoo-hoo! But that's not important-- what is is how lovely you are to the newcomers in your midst. I like that about you.

Ah, BtVS, AtS, how I miss you. I do. If not for tabaqui and nashmaveric I might not read it at all anymore and that makes me sad. Open On Sunday keeps me connected though, those ladies are dedicated drabblers, and create incredible works-- (Wednesday 100, I'm looking at you sternly. Who me? Shut up.)

At any rate, I've babbled on long enough, for the moment. I'm home from work, and I'll be coming at you all day, YaY! heee! Be afraid, be very afraid....

Tell your neice to wave to me, I'm just across the sea in Wales!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Hee! She said she'd wave a lot with big broad gestures!

Now I worry "Can lip balm provide enough lubricant for a comfortable screw?" and "how much blood is too much blood?"

You have the coolest thoughts ;D

I'm really glad I met you this year.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, girl, me too! You know I think you're the best!

{{{hugs you}}} Happy New Year, hon!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It's such a pleasure to know you, sweetie! *hugs you*

Hey Roxy-

I know we haven't chatted much, but I love the optimism in your posts.:-)

Happy (upcoming) New Year to you!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

wow? I come off as optimistic? *biggrin* And here I thought I was a big whiny old bitch! I'm really glad you joined us here at Big Echoey!*hug*

[shattered.livejournal.com]

Hah! *Hugs back*

I think it's kind of a natural evolution to gain and loose interest in fandoms. I know in my own case any more, I often find myself saying, "oh, it's another one of those stories." Even if it's well-written, I've read five more like it already. Little by little the long WIPs I've been following get finished (I'm thinking of Nexus here), or it becomes apparent they never will be (Brandil had a fascinating series going with Spike, Buffy, Anya and Vamp!Xander, but she lost interest). I've also gotten more fussy about fanon v. canon. I find myself getting irritated with fics over things I used to pass over as trivial, and dropping stories as a result. I used to be able to ignore character bashing, but now I can't. Sigh. I guess that's one of the reasons I like crossovers. In spite of them sucking so often, there's more chance to find something fresh.

BTW, it's kind of short, but chapter 19 of that thing is posted, if you want to look it up.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, hell yeah, I'm interested and it was so rude of me not to mention you as one of the BtVS'ers that I adore. I love your story for the very reasons you mention--it's never off character, and considering you're juggling two different fandoms, big props.

I love the way you write Kennedy (no bashing) and your Xander is perfect-- an older calmer more mature Xander with his sense of humor intact. you're good kid!

[rachelmap.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the kind words :-) I don't mind you not mentioning me though; I don't really consider myself in Tabaqui and Nashmaveric's league. I only write a little, and not very often. I'm also finding as the beta's been going on, that my fic needs some major adjustments. Well, the earlier chapters at least.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Psst: between me and you, i didn't think you needed *that* much adjustment.

[rachelmap.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Now I'm worried I made things worse.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

See! You are a writer!! Paranoia, our constant companion!

I'm just saying not to work it too hard, I thought you were doing great-- mind you, I haven't been doing this very long myself and I'm notorious for being stubborn about my shit. *evolgrin* TQ can tell you that!

Happy New Year, honey.

I'm always excited when I see a Roxy post, whether it's a fic update or a RL post.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhh-- you just make me feel like a million, sweetie! You're one of the happy surprises of this fandom for me!

[talitha78.livejournal.com]

I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you a little bit this year. You seem like such a fun, down-to-earth person. And you write the best fic! Happy New Year to you.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

THank you, dear! I love this part of it-- getting to know lovely people-- and perverting them, YaY! Kidding! (sort of) :)

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

SV fandom is just the best! I've really enjoyed being a part of for the past year and a half or so. And you, Roxy, are such a fun part of that. I've only met you recently, but it's been such a pleasure reading your posts, whether fic or RL, that I've quickly become attached to you.

And you know what one of my favorite parts is? When you tell us what the previous parts of your WIPs are doing. It always cracks me up. "filling out unemployment forms, and asking how you spell fellatio" is still one of my favorites. :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Geez, you make me grin all over--to me, my posts are not official to me until certain people have commented, and you is definitely part of "certain" people.

And sadly, I love those goofy Previously's so much-- too much as I've said before. I can't help it, they stand over in the corner and make these puppy eyes at me...
heh! And your favorite is my favorite too! (can I say that about my own stuff *G*?)
