What would I do without you, beloved? What is it about me that being called a weirdo makes me all watery eyed and melty and feel all loved? *huggles!*

when you think of something as NOT being fun to write -what's that mean? Like you have to push yourself to work on it? Or it's just harder to get out?

It's like being very conscious of writing the whole time, being very much more deliberate, less going with the flow. I didn't have to push myself to write it, I was writing it all the time, every spare minute, I was writing that thing. And going over it,and over it. It was all I could think of! I think what happened was that I worked so hard on it it became a job, and not my hobby. When I wrote the last word on that story I felt like I was being cut free--I've only felt that way with two other fics and not ever as severe as this. Still, I never once felt like it wasn't a good story--it is. In fact, I think it's a pretty damn good story. ;)

Interesting... heheh I'm kind of similar. Some of the ones I struggle the most with I'm the most proud of - and it's usually the stuff that gets read the least :)

and it's usually the stuff that gets read the least :)

I swear, it always seems to be the case. Plus, it's very humbling to go from a fandom in which I was almost guaranteed to get at least a dozen comments on a story to nil. Well, humbling in that way that makes you slam your head on the desk and scream why, why oh lord why...*koff* erm-hem. Or something like that. :)

heheh - are you talking about smallville?

Posted by

hahaha--yeah, 'course! :)

Posted by

so you got more feedback there than you do in spn stuff?

Posted by

Oh yeah, definitely. Not a ton, but getting ten comments on a fic felt pretty good to me. *G* Mostly I could expect at least six or seven per story. I think at the time I entered the fandom, a lot of the really big writers had moved on, and it wasn't as big a fandom as SpN, or whatever. I think folks were more willing to take a chance on a newbie too, which I certainly was at the time.

Right... it's funny isn't it? You don't post to a lot of communities do you?

Posted by

Shoo, Girl, I post to everyone I can think of, lol! I'm like flinging these things anywhere they'll stick! I mean, I've gotten some very nice response to things like Lodi, but I think I'm just too interested in AUs and maybe this is a fandom not too interested in AUs and OCs. Ach, who knows! *flings hands up* I'll just keep writing the things and let the chips fall where they may!

yeah that's kind of how i feel. Brie and I wrote a fic we weren't particularly proud of - and it got rec'd and had a few gimics and people loved it...

the one we tortured ourselves over? researched? etc? heheh hardly anyone read.

Posted by

which one was that? it seems like you always get lots of fb!

Posted by

oh we do - but the radio one - then again i just might... was our most commented upon ever (is that even english?)

I mean it's okay but it's flush - and we both knkow that - it's not even particularly well written heheh but I guess peopel just liked it.

sometimes, I think it's about when things get posted. You know? What's on fandoms mind at the time.

The only real problem with flaunting your floral-patterned-granny pantie-covered ass is that I have this almost overwhelming desire to stick a couple dollar bills under the elastic.

shoo, girl, don't stop yourself! *snaps inch-thick elastic band seductively*

And as a sign of the wisdom and maturity I've gained through the years, I'm not going to close with na-nana-boo-boo.

I, for one, don't want you to :)

I am a beacon of maturity, I am. ;)

I feel like flaunting my floral-patterned-granny pantie-covered ass in public

*wolf whistles* You go girl! ;)

YAY for you being all productive and stuff. :D

Hmm... me thinks I'm going to have to go back and reread some fics. I miss you messing with Clark. *giggles* ;)

Posted by

Ach, I haven't messed with that boy in a long time, though my battered ego keeps whispering,"people read your SV stuff, you giant attention hoor, you."

*flaunts panties*
*G*

I could never see you wearing those sort of knickers mom.

Anyway I wanted to ask you a question as you are the best writer I know. I'm doing a WIP on MUNCLE, well someone said the only problem with my WIP parts are that they are short. So my question is, have you got any tips for me?

Posted by

lol! But it's true1 *G*

First of all, flattery will get you everywhere--;)

Secondly, people will say all sorts of things, trying to be helpful. You have to ask yourself if their advice is helpful to you. Something like the length of your updates is kind of subjective. If you feel like a particular bit is as long as it needs to be and it says what you want it to, than it's the right length. I've noticed lately that people update with much longer bits than they used to--I tend to hover around 3000 words now when I used to update with about 1500. What it comes down to is, you're the writer, you're in charge. :)

*HUG* Man from Uncle, hunh? Man, that show opened the door to puberty for me, hah!

It's not flattery. I love to read your fics. I loved the Danny the dog one :)

I like your advice :)

So who did you prefer, my cousin (well 3rd cousin) David or Robert?

Posted by

GET OUT!!! HE'S YOUR COUSIN????? Omg, I loved David McCallum!!! I used to think he was absolutely perfect!

Posted by

My Grandmothers cousin so he's like my cousin twice removed. Never met him though. I fugure it's not too perverted to want so do naughty things to him.

Posted by

Perverted? What does that even mean, perverted--tchah! *handwave*
