never ending stories, down for the count and me, your BNF

[roxy]

I've been writing EOTS since February??? Hokey smokes!! It didn't feel that long, not like Brothers & Heroes where it felt like I was ripping it out of my colon every update--it was the story that wouldn't end!! Boys of Summer, omgod, that was another one that I thought would never stop. Mariposa, most of the time I had no fucking idea what was happening there. It was fun though. But at least I finally see the end of it--the light in the tunnel, the sails on the horizon, hear the melodious outburst of the corpulent woman. After that we wrap up My Summer Vacation and that's it!

*golf swings, adjusts tie* And no one under forty gets that reference, I'm betting. *G*

Actually, I have a few short bits I really should finish, and I'm going to try to. But, it will be odd not to have a major project on the board. We've never gone too long here without one. Whenever I think I'm done, another idea comes popping up--like Summer Vacation, which I happen to love--I'm sorry few people are feeling the love. I think it's pretty good, and ya'll know I don't often point at my stuff and say, you're missing something good--or do I? Do I? Eeep!

Anyway, that all goes along with my coming project, BNF-ness. Yes, you heard it here first--I've decided to throw my hat into the ring and am actively seeking election to BNF-ness. I know, I know...it's a big step, but I feel I can bring some of my own special brand of wisdom and caring to the office. I'll have more details for you later, and of course, we'll be talking funds...it takes a lot of cabbage to run a campaign. Ads, clever hats with slogans on, spokespeople--they don't come free. Now, I'm hoping to hear from other BNFs. I'm more than open to advice. Like, is there kissing of babies involved, and if there is, do I have to? Is cleansing the child with an anti-bacterial wipe prior to the kiss acceptable? These are the larger problems I ponder, and as your BNF, will find the answer to.

Now, for information as to where to send money—I mean a show of support--call my campaign office at Stuyvesant Furhivefurhivefurhive…*koff*

Well, we'll work on that slogan, hmm?

LOL *wipes tears from eyes* You kill me with the funny, hon! Ooh, my sides. . . XD

Your epics are almost done? You see a light? *pouts* No fair. I think I'm gonna be writing CFMWH FOREVER. Meep! And I'm still so new to this whole thing. . . *huggles you* But at least I've got roxy in my corner, eh? :) I love Summer Vacation. Clitney all the way, man!

You write it, I'll read it! But seriously, I love all your stories. . . even the ones that I'll never be able to read again 'cause they make me cry too much. *eyes you* I draw the line at not being able to breathe through the tears, red eyes, and streaming nose.

Mariposa made me cry, Boys of Summer definitely made me weepy, but the prize goes to Brothers and Heroes. I think it was Bruce at the end that clinched it. A sort of unhappy-esque ending for Clark and Lex, but my Bruce? *gets misty* Damn, woman! You're an awesome writer! I'm getting all verklempt here just thinking about it!

*BIGBEARHUG*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I get goofy when I avoid writing. :)

Oh, it doesn't seem like CFMWH has been going on that long to me--I love that story! And as long as we're confessing love here, I love what you do! It makes me so happy when you update--I'm so glad you joined us here in our little corner of fandom. I love the way you write the boys, I love the way you unfold a story.

A sort of unhappy-esque ending for Clark and Lex

It was one of my favorite endings for Clark and Lex and I sniveled a bit over Bruce too.

Thank you so much--I'm so glad you're here!

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

Wow, has EOTS really been going on that long? Doesn't feel like it. Me thinks I must read it again when it's all done. ;) Yes... even with creepy Wade in there. *shudders*

I didn't get to read Brothers or BOS until they were done. Mariposa... Gosh, what that story did to me! But now I feel like re-reading it... and everything you wrote!! *grins* Hmmm.... maybe I'll start with (This Title is) Coming Soon. *giggles* ;)

You know I'm loving Summer Vacation. ;D It makes me feel so much, and I love Clark in it especially. His inner thoughts just kill me. lol

*falls on floor laughing* Have I told you how I love and adore you lately? :) *hugsmooch*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

it's weird right? I knew it was long but not that long! *G*

lol! Yes! Re-reading is fun--plus you know what parts to skip! *G*

Aww, thank you precious one!! *sweeps you up in her t-rex like arms for a big big hug*

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

You've got my vote!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you, thank you, and remmeber, to paraphrase my friend beet, the thick, hard, central plank in my BNF platform will be porn. And world peace. *nods*

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

Sweetie, you're already a BNF to me :D

*uses BNF icon*

omg! i love suz too! squeee!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

Oh, but wait until you see me in my BNF hat and cape...*G*

[norwich36.livejournal.com]

Darlin', when other people have icons specifically for you, I think that means you have already achieved BNF-ness! And I think in slash fandom, it wouldn't be babies that the BNFs are kissing--it would be something more like this.

HOKEY SMOKES

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

what!!! no one told me this!! Why did no one tell me this!!
*steps up campaign*

Now, see that icon--I thought you were just warning folks...*GRIN*

eta: *blast this new fangled technology and all these little posty buttons all over...grumble..*

[myownghost.livejournal.com]

do BNFs get their own crew of minions? i want to be a minion, the comic relief type! whether or no, i'm voting for you, going for that bright shiny light kind of thing. :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yes! I *will* bring the bright shiny, lighty--thing. For everyone!

As for minions, you--*you*! You won't even have to fill out an application! If I get the job, minionhood is yours! And a bright shiny hat!!

[rachelmap.livejournal.com]

You're a BNF to me!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*HUGS* Hey there!!

lol! Thank you, thank you! Here--have a button! *G* And remember, bright shiny futures are us!

[theclexfactor.livejournal.com]

I seriously thought you already were a BNF, lol. But, you know, the nice kind that actually reads other people's posts and comments and is just all around awesome and...OKAY FINE!! I'M A ROXY FANGIRL!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!!!

NO! But I do try to be nice...and all part of my insidious plan to RULE THE WORLD!!!!!

today fandom, tomorrow...NEW JERSEY!!!!
and onward, 'cause Jersey's kind of boring really, no matter what the PR campaign says....

Here--please to have a hat! See, it has my name on it. *g*

[lexophilia.livejournal.com]

Wait. Hold the phone. You are a BNF. Hold the fuck up. If you're not, I'm out of here.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

EEEEK!!!
*clings*

But think of the fun we'll have getting me elected!

"Porn in every pot", a "vote for Roxy is a vote for some seriously effed up and twisty family picnics with the Luthors"...*G*

[quiet--tiger.livejournal.com]

I've also been under the impression you're at BNF status. At the very least, you rock, which has to count for something. And your stories are popular, which counts for a lot. Anyway, you have my vote should you need it. :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks! But I'm not a BNF--yet! *prepares to campaign*

Every vote for me is a vote for the future! And most importantly, (to steal from my dear friend beet), the thick, hard, central plank in my BNF platform is porn. Lots of it, in many varieties, so that the children of the future can be horrified at what their grannies were doing in the 2000's.

I would shake your hand but you get the intent. I hope to have shiny buttons soon. :)

[talitha78.livejournal.com]

A vote for Roxy is a vote for humanity. Oh, the humanity!!!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*beams*

Yes, yes indeed--HEY!!!!

[beet]

LOL! And here I thought BNFs weren't so much elected as seized the power of fandom through a show of brute, porny force and impulsive demands from their f-list. And also by mocking. Lots of mocking. And porn. Let's not forget about the porn!

I think that should be the thick, hard, central plank in your BNF platform!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

DAMN IT!!!
Is *that* how it works??? Crap! What am I going to do with all these hats and buttons??


I think that should be the thick, hard, central plank in your BNF platform!

As part of my campaign, I've stolen your line in a show of brute porny force and impulsive demanding crazy-cakeness and will use it without credit--Moooohahahahaha!

step one on the BNF trail....

[danceswithgary]

But, but, I thought you were a BNF? I'm so confused. Must be too much vacation.

*wanders off to try desperately to catch up with flist*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Never you worry your pretty little head, it's just that Roxy Rose woman going crazy cakes again. :)

[dm-wyatt.livejournal.com]

You want to be elected to become a BNF?

Are you crazy? That's like Tom wanting to have an election for people to recognize his beauty... He just is beautiful, no election needed.

You *are* a BNF, no election or lame campaign slogans needed.

I think one of your stories were one of the first Clex stories I had ever read.

*hugs*

It's your fault I'm here (well, and serenograhy's too since she convinced me to give Clex a try, but one of the first Clex stories she rec I read was yours, so it's your fault too).

*HUGS*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It's your fault I'm here

damn, it's good to know that what I do has a positive effect, too! *hugs* I'm totally taking credit for you! Wait--that kind of attitude does make me a BNF! Huzzah!

would you like a button anyway? :)

[jakrar.livejournal.com]

Like, is there kissing of babies involved, and if there is, do I have to? Is cleansing the child with an anti-bacterial wipe prior to the kiss acceptable?

Now I'm picturing you as Monk.... *hands you a wipe*

Woman, you have to be the funniest BNF around!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Heee!

No seriously, babies...wipes. Go together like a horse and carriage.

When I am elected BNF, there'll be plenty of slots for minionhood...ah? Ah? Get in on the ground floor of this, I'm telling you, it's going to be big! First SV fandom, and then--THE WORLD! MOOO-HAH-HAH-HAAAAAAA!

oy! I need some hard candy, evil crazed laughter is so hard on the throat.

[beeej.livejournal.com]

Are you running for BNF in SV fandom, or would you like to like to branch out into the multifandom universe? Because I could possibly help with the cross campaigning. ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...dare I assume the mantle of pan-BNF-ness? Should I remain within the cozy confines of SV, or is it my duty to spread my particular brand of enlightened despotism to other needy fandoms? Hmmm. Perhaps I should--after all, are there not BNFs that haven't done a damn thing for their particular fandom but stir up crap? So I hear...*G* I so could do that!!

Hmmm, this may require more shiny hats and lots more slogans.

[nerowill.livejournal.com]

I'd let you kiss Little Girl AND Tiny Girl... I think LG is the one most likely to require a wipe-down first... ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Why *bless* you, my friend--here's a button!

Can I count on you come election day? Remember, a vote for me is a vote for...something, probably involving porn. And porn.

[tabaqui]

Hey!
I've been called a BNF *i know, i know - i boggled, too!* - where's my money??
*eyes flist*

Heeeeee. You always make me smile, Ms. Thang. Except for when you're tearing out my heart.

Johnny Carson ref, ftw!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

But you are! I wanna be like you!!! Thus my campaign for BNF-hood. *nod* I'm told by a somewhat reliable nameless somebody whose name begins with an R and ends with a Y that there's a rather smart hat involved and a lovely vermin trimmed cape. Or was that ermine?

*GRIN*
You get all my refs! *hugs*

[supercaptain182.livejournal.com]

I would totally vote for you. Haven't I already done so?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

omg--yes, you have haven't you! I promise you a special place in my cabinet when I become TOTAL RULER OF THE WORLD CRINGE IN FEAR LOWLY HUMANS the BNF.

[kaydee23.livejournal.com]

You've got my vote! Who's your running mate?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...I'll have to think about that...I should have a contest! The excitement!!!

[azrielle-jones.livejournal.com]

I think I'm the only one that doesn't know what a BNF is! I've been here for years and have never heard of it before, which... scares me!

Could you reel me into the loop? *wibbbles*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh sure! BNF means Big Name Fan, the Big Kahoona in whatever fandom they kind of grow big in. I don't think it really means a good thing anymore. :)

Here's a link to a glossary that explains it too. (I think the way these terms evolve are fascinating!)

http://www.subreality.com/glossary/terms.htm#B

Of course, that doesn't stop me from campaigning for BNF status, and if elected, I'll restore the name to it's former glory...*koff* Because I'm...eccentric. Yes. Eccentric. *beams*
