ARRRRG!

[roxy]

I've spent the day being stupid all over supernaturalfic! Oy! I keep making mistakes--so embarrassing. I'm ready to give up. If I screw it up one more time, I will! This comes of not really reading posting guidelines. Let that be a lesson to me.

On a lighter note, my coffee is exceptional, and my dearest friend might be coming to Jersey this summer so, lose a little, win a little, right? And it's hump day! Tomorrow is TV night, woo-hoo! Don't forget after SpN, there's Southland!

ETA: SUCCESS!! I FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT!
*sniffs* I'm so proud of myself. *gives self little hug*

thank you, thank you--that just lit up the inside of my head!

[justabi.livejournal.com]

Right?

[myownghost.livejournal.com]

posting guidelines can be a headache and a half. i actually posted one little thing at fakenews' comm, a short poem, and had to be careful about the disclaimer and warnings and so on. didn't want to get modded!

i'm glad your friend's going to visit this summer. friends restore the soul, y/n?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh yes! We've been friends since forever! I can't wait to have her here!

[chemm80]

Shit, I'm glad it's not just me. And I read the damned guidelines, I swear I do, but there are just too many coms and they all have so many picky little rules I can't keep track of who wants what. And my post gets rejected and I feel like a Lameass Loser from Failtown. Aaugh!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Hah, no, not just you! But this time, it was really me, not reading the guide lines. Boy, it's really kind of hurty getting rejected. I was all, "I stink!! No, wait--I just can't read...."

*G*

[chemm80]

PLUS? Did you see the mod post on supernaturalfic? The one that went something like, "OMG, people PLEASE read the fucking guidelines, for the love of God, I'm begging you..." all weeping and gnashing of teeth and everything?

Yeah. That went up the day I tried to post Break My Fall in that com and got rejected for something wrong with the subject line. Talk about feeling stupid...

*pets you*

some communities have so many rules and posting guidelines I give up before I even try heh

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Lol! I'd feel a lot better if I could use that as an excuse but sadly, it was all me. I'm having an obtuse day, I guess!

[cha.livejournal.com]

hheh ok then in that case hehehehI just hope things improve hehhe

*smoooooch*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh god no, I was even stupider than that--it was the just the subject line I kept screwing up--over and over until I finally actually read posting guidelines. *covers face*

Some day, the stupid eats you! Fortunately, I'm used to being a doof in public! Why, just the other day, a co-worker wrote a note on my palm because I keep forgetting to bring her something. Guess who forgot they had the note and transferred ink from palm to forehead? And walked around for about an hour before someone finally took pity on mestrange doofus?

Lord, my life is interesting....

and in conclusion, yes. Posting template good. *G*

[tabaqui]

Heeeeeeee!
Oh, man. Sometimes it's just impossible to make the brain. *work*.

Stupid brain.
*smooches you*

*makes sure you have no ink in funny places*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!

[rednihilist.livejournal.com]

Yay for you, cross posting like a pro (if at first you don't succeed, and all that! *G*).

I read a blurb in the TV Guide about the finales of our CW shows. :( I knew it was going to be painful, but they said it looked like something was gonna happen to really drive the guys apart. Hold me, roxy. I iz scurred. *wibble*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*CLINGS*

I have the feeling it's going to suck so much ass....

[rednihilist.livejournal.com]

*chants* There is no place like lj, there is no place like lj. . .

God, Kripke is Master of the H/C, although we've been running short on the /C for a while (like, first season?).

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! It's just H/H with him--the evol bastard! Makes me feel like Pollyana--at least I have happy endings, for cryin' out loud!

[rednihilist.livejournal.com]

Every week it's like, hey, how are they gonna fuck those boys up some more? Hmmmm.

You know it'd bad when Dean cries. :(

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

there's no Dean crying this ep, is there?

[rednihilist.livejournal.com]

God, I hope not. Makes me tear up too every time he does.

[ncvids.livejournal.com]

It's okay, Roxy, we still love you.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!

*be even more embarrassed*

Thank you--I like to share the good and the bad (or maybe I mean goofy). *GRIN*!

Is supernaturalfic THE place to post? I love the show, but haven't yet attempted any SPN fics. I've been having naughty Dean/Cas angel sex notions, but haven't had the nerve to (or the time) to try to write it yet.

Can you also recc a SPN ep discussion group? I found a couple of boards, but one didn't seem to be that active and the other consisted largely of squeeing (not that that's a bad thing), but I'm looking for thoughtful commentary and critque...something like Lex_Minions only SPN focused.

Don't fret the posting, Roxy, we've all been there. Just this afternoon I was saying bad words over my own posting attempts and every new place you post has it's own particular set of rules.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know--it seems to be!

I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to SpN, but here are some places you might be interested in: spn_heavymeta, and spnroundtable. I tend to be more of a consumer and less of a thinker when it comes to fanfiction, myself.

Anytime you feel the desire to write SpN, I'm here to handhold! *G*

[green-tea37.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you, Roxy! That's so nice of you. I amy need it. I've never written SpN before, and I'm not sure if I can write Dean and Cas. Or even if my writing style will translate into an SpN fic; angst isn't really my thing as far as writing goes.

The ep last night was getting a little darkity dark on the brother angst and Castiel seemed to be withdrawing and losing the mild case of warmfuzzies that he was getting with Dean. *clutches Superman plushie toy closer*

something like Lex_Minions only SPN focused.

here is a masterlist of fandoms with communities on LJ:
newbieguide: Master List of Topics and Fandoms
http://community.livejournal.com/newbieguide/6259.html?format=light

if you scroll down the list, they should have one for SPN.
and if you follow that one, i think, that entry has several LJ SPN communities listed.
I am just not sure, which ones are active, so i am afraid you have to look for yourself around a bit there.

but the newbieguide is also useful for lots of fandoms, like to look where to look as a beginner :)

and damn, for your fic, you have been awfully productive again, i feel like i am ten thousand chapters behind :D

Re: something like Lex_Minions only SPN focused.

Thanks for the tip. I look forward to seeing what you think of the story when you have time. I'm still writing party scenes, but will get to the knocking up section soon.
