Why?

[roxy]

What's the deal with writers in SpN taking their stuff down? It's just real odd, because I only remember maybe two or three SV writers doing that but it seems like it's a sport for SpN writers. It's just kind of weird to me. I guess if RL comes inconveniently knocking, a person might be forced to do that. Or like, maybe they got Jesus, or something. I don't have to worry about that, everybody knows what I do, and really...once you're past fifty, hardly anyone gives a shit what you do, as long as you do it with your clothes on. However, once I shuffle off this mortal coil, I can definitely imagine BG hunting down all my shit and erasing it--burning my notebooks in the front yard, screaming, "She wrote stories about fluffy kittens, not gay porn!!!"

But don't worry, The Niece will hook you up--it's in the will. Spread my stories far and wide! Fly, little pornlets, fly!

*koff* going back to work now....

*snuggles that you indirectly called me "pornlet"*

People are taking their stuff down? *wibbles* Not the awesome stuff, I hope? *goes off to check*

I lurk over at SpNStory finders (For The Lols), and it seems folks are always asking for disappeared stuff. It's just odd. But then, I'm new to this fandom and maybe it's a thing? *shrugs*

*cuddles my little pornlet*

HAHAH you know - I'm the same way - someone asked me why I didn't have a separate journal to view fanfic and I remember thinking why? who cares? :) It's nice being older :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Right? It's really nice to be of an age where you can tell folks to just eff off. :)

I love your motto. I started living that when I was about 35, though. Thank goodness for Niece.

*GREAT BIG GIANT HUGS AND SHMOOCHES*

Thank goodness for Niece.

Hey, she's the best, I tell you! A real doll baby. I mean, BG is my heart, and she'd rip out the kidneys of anyone who dared to hurt me, but whew!! She's a wee bit judgy, that one. :)

Actually the finding Jesus thing did happen to one of the writers I was reading. Annoyed the hell out of me coz I really wanted to see how that one ended.

I think part of it is the weekly SpN wank and part of it is guilt. Especially now that Kripke has pretty much announced he's on our LJs reading our porn.

I had similar "OMG I write slash" freak outs and considered taking down fic. But the only people that I'd be afraid of finding out pretty much know what I write except for the Wincest and I'll deal with the possible fallout from that. I sometimes worry about my co workers finding out but mostly because I don't want to deal with their crap.

I understand how it can make problems for some people in more high profile professions but if it's that big of a deal, write something else.

I'm probably going to get smacked for this but maybe it's simply guilt over writing about the epic incestuous love of Sam and Dean?

I'm...going to try not to laugh my ass off....

Once, I lost my notebook, chock full of Lex fucking Clark, at my job. I'm pretty sure I lost it there. That made for a couple of stressful days, LOL! It never turned up. I'm assuming some one at work had a grand old time with it. *G*

Yeah, it's entirely possible. I mean, that's like a humongous taboo, right? And most of us would rather slit our own throats than hop into bed with our siblings--I mean, ew, I have sibs, thank you,and no way. But on the other hand, the story with incest added to it is even more dramatic, more epic world shattering. And let's not forget hot. hokey smokes--look at those guys? On the other *other* hand--it would be ACK!!! if they could reproduce. *shudder*

A-fucking-men!**

I have also never seen a fandom with so much fic under f-lock, while personal posts are open. It's ANNOYING to follow a rec only to find that so and so has locked fiction. And not just the NC-17 or underage stuff. It's weird.


**Excuse for icon!! I mean... I'm feeling very pious.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

No prob, Father.

yeah, why would you lock fic, make folks friend you just for that? Weird. And recced locked-fic is rampant--why the EFF would you rec something locked?

I mean, it's not like the SpN crew is going to show up in your living room one night and spank you for being naughty...damn it. (just one more example how life's unfair....)

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

When the Source Material Starts Talking Back, I think fan writers get skittish.

I envy your ease of "outness" in fandom, I really do. I lead a double life, with multiple different locking mechanisms on my flist and stuff. I'd like to get over that.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It's easy for me--I'm just a retail slave, and my family and friends expect the weird from me. I don't volunteer the info, but I don't really hide it much. When I sit in the store's breakroom and folks ask me what I'm writing, I always tell them porn. Who would believe a roly-poly white-haired woman is actually blocking out a blowjob? *G*

Fly, little pornlets, fly!

Do you have any idea the odd images that sentence creates? Especially at almost 3 am when I should be going to sleep? lol

*smooches*

*HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS* I know me too! We need to go to bed!!


boy...that looks wrong....*g*

Or like, maybe they got Jesus, or something.

Somewhat OT, but this happened to a guy who ran a Dharma & Greg site, and it annoyed me more on principle than because I'd miss the site, because wtf, you'd think mentions of married people having sex wouldn't be an issue with any god at all.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

That's nuts to me--that's overkill. But I guess he started to consider it peddling porn? *shakes head*

Dharma & Greg...*happysigh* Good times, them.

I don't read much in the SpN fandom, except some Dean/Castiel, but I sympathize. I had someone whose stories I was following in yaoi fandom, and she found Jesus. Stopped all of her WiPs and started writing religious stories. To that, I can only say, "Jesus!"

omg, Roxy, you crack me up so hard. :D

[tabaqui]

Oooooooh, Ms. Thang.
*dies laughing*

I find flocked recs/fic infuriating. Catch me friending just to read your fic? I think not.

And people taking stuff down annoy me, too. I mean, okay, so you're not so obsessed with, say, Harry Potter anymore. Why would you take your fic down? People still probably like it.

Of course, then you have certain people who take their stuff down 'cause their *vanity* publisher said so, even though all they did was file the serial numbers off their wildly ooc fic in the first place....

*cough*

Yeah. Those people i just point and laugh at.

It *does* rock to be old. I don't give a flying fuck who knows what i write. Wincest, pr0n, whatever. Do not care!
:)
*twirls you*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

This is why we are the brain twins! You get it completely!

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

Testify, woman! *nodnod*

Pretty much everyone knows what I write here as well, even my hubby, (who just pretends that massive homoerotic subtext does not exist on SV,) and I can't imagine why people suddenly have a change of heart or whatever to that degree to yank down stuff they've worked so hard on. (*giggle* I said hard on!)

Anyway, writers should be proud of what they write, no matter what comes along. I love your stuff, and I love that you're here!! *HUGS*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

(*giggle* I said hard on!)

Heeee!

I can't imagine why people suddenly have a change of heart or whatever to that degree to yank down stuff they've worked so hard on.

That's it! I don't get that either! So much work--and I don't know about anyone else, but I'm all about the ego boo of having instant feed back. :)

When I like a story enough to think I might want to read it again, it automatically gets saved to my laptop. I love all these women writing stories on the internet, but I do not trust them. Well, I mean, I trust them not to, like, kill my cat and take the last poptart, but not to make sure I always have exactly the fic I need forever and ever.

I figure, if anyone I'm not open with finds my journal they'll be more reeling for the fact that I like chicks than from the fact I occasionally write stories with boysex in them. *gratuitous icon comment*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

yeah, apparently my kid doesn't--in her world, it's entirely possible someone'll break in our house and do just that, and it'll be my fault for coaxing them to us with my LJ. *G*

omg...you like chicks???????

snorfle!!! ^_^ You crack me up!! ^_^ Don't go anywheres you hear!! *glomps you*

*cries laughing* Oh, BG. Writing stories about fluffy kittens is so much more embarrassing!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

See! You get it!! Why can't she???
