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*

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 :)

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

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?

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.

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.

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*

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.

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

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*

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*

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*

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