Because girls - lessee, who was into this with me back in the day, DT, K, Sal? THERE WAS FOLGERCEST FOR YULETIDE.
Almost 10K words, A Home For All Seasons. (The tiny dig at Folgers being shit coffee is hilarious to me, btw.) GIRLS. CLICK. Just click. (IT'S DARK. That's all the warning I'll give, okay?)
ION, I have gotten so excited about a new fic that
flaming_muse is starting, and if you're not following her and reading every damn thing she writes, then you are not a member of the Glee fandom, I'm just saying.
Also, I wrote a story over the past few days that made me cry and made my husband cry and it's about a homeless man and somehow it's tied in with the Fireman AU I wrote, and I don't know, I've been very, very sick for two weeks? Lol.
I've read a ton of fic today, keeping my promise to The Mr. that I wouldn't do anything strenuous so I can be fully recovered by NYE, and good god, don't people read their stuff out loud? So many misspells, so many weird things (bad characterization, overwrought ridiculousness) and I feel like an asshole to hate on fics that everyone is loving, but they're SO BAD. And it makes me look at people askance. Well, more than usual.
I am drinking wine for my dinner, which I started at 4:45pm CST. Look, it's been a hard holiday season, okay? (Atlas Peak, Cab Sav, delicious as hale.)
OH, LAST THING. If you've done, are doing a Year End Meme thingy with everything you've written, feel free to drop a link here for me and anyone else clicking through.regala_electra posted hers today and I'm in the process of putting everything on my Kindle for late night reading (I'm sure I'm going to love it, I don't even need to sweat that) so if YOU have one, GIMMIE. I'll probably post one because I'm needy this week and want to talk. LOL.

EVERY. SINGLE. VERSE.
And I am going to pass by without comment the paragraph about some fic out there, because... yeah. BUT FANDOM IS FOR FUN LA LA LA IF PEOPLE HATE GOOD GRAMMAR OR CHARACTERS WHO RESEMBLE WHAT IS ON SCREEN WHO AM I TO JUDGE LA LA LA LA LA?
Should I do a Year End Writing Meme thing? I don't generally do memes, but I did write a lot, so maybe I'd have something to say about it? (Who am I kidding? I always have something to say about my writing. The question is whether I have anything to say about it that I should share in public instead of whinging to you in e-mail.)
...right? <3
Yes, yes, it's for fun, but sometimes I'm just baffled when I see people sobbing and wailing over something where I'm just... really? THAT STORY? The one where I barked out a laugh because I couldn't believe the crazy 180 from character it took? I AM AWFUL, I FULLY ADMIT THIS.
Ooooooh, I do think you should do a year in fic meme!! If only to have it all categorized (and then you could talk about each one, and I can sit all chin-fists about it and tell you what I loved about each one, and why are you fighting this?? Hahaha.)
I love that you almost wrote a fic in that verse!! SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONTINUE WITH THAT THOUGHT, Hmm? Hmm?? :D
<3 (Don't act like you don't love that I tracked you down, woman.)
I had to stop to make sure I was leaving this comment on LJ and not FB.
don't you have to warn for shit like that? Not the incest...but the other thing that happens.
But hey! Someone did it! Folger!cest for the win!
SPOILERS FOR THE STORY BELOW, FOLKS
SPOILERS.
So Matt faked his death. And Libby is by herself - everyone having left since the funeral, but she doesn't know Matt faked his death. And she stares into the sink at the dirty dishes, not really seeing them. She feels hands snake around her waist and her brother's voice in her ear, "I missed you, Libby."
She shudders but knows it isn't real. But then she feels warm breath on her neck and at her back and it's Matt, and he's there, he's real and she turns in his arms, crying, grabbing at his face and he shushes her and whispers against her lips, "It's the only way. Come away with me before they get back."
And she doesn't hesitate, she grabs his face and peppers it with kisses, crying against his mouth, telling him how sad she was, how lost she was without him and can they really? Can they really be together now?
He just nods and looks out the window. He tells her to get her purse, to grab her passport and she follows him, never letting go of his hand and sees there's a cab waiting for them.
[TBC]
Do we get a SISTER MAN story ????????? YAY !!!
OH - my master list link http://windrider1967.livejournal.com/9850.html
Have a good New Year dear
I hope you have a good New Year, too!! <3
And if you want to have a PM convo about said fics......come sit next to me!!(Do you know me on Tumblr? Guuuurl, hit me up: heydontjudgeme - my ask is always open and we can get our snark on. lol.)
YAY NEW FM FIC, RIGHT?!
One || Two || Three
♥
The only fic I've ever actually finished and shared has been for Yuletide, and only for the past two years, but once reveals come on Sunday I'd be happy to link you to mine. :)
I love links, drop them here! (A lot of people hang out in comments, too, so you might get some other stragglers as well. :D)
Is the last episode of Top Chef Texas going to be recapped on Hey, Don't Judge Me? The Tribute Dinner one from before Christmas? Thanks for allowing the diversion here.
I haven't done much this year, I'm totally ashamed. But! I did write 6 Glee fics this year (yay, me!), and two Hawaii Five-0 future!fics. You can find summaries and approximate word counts, along with links on the round-up.
One caveat, I don't write Kurt/Blaine. *G* Most of those 6 fics are either pre-slash, or gen. The last one is an actual pairing. To quote everyone's favorite commercial: try it, you'll like it!
Well, you might. :P
Oh, I'm not opposed to reading out of my 'ship - I am drawn to Gen fic more than anything, I think. I just have to believe other 'ships through the writing. I'll read anything that's well written! <3
I can't say my writing is perfect, but I can't tell you how many fics I've abandoned mid-paragraph for all of the things you mentioned. If you have typos within the first two sentences, that really doesn't bode well for the rest of your story.
Wandering POVs make me want to stab someone - I don't need this chapter written from both main characters and every uninvolved person that passed through, honestly.
I think it's worse, though, to start reading a story that is so awesome and well written, only for the author to start spewing nonsense (scenes that make no sense, dialog so OOC it hurts, scenes that go nowhere, smut that has nothing to do with anything, a wandering plot, etc) a couple chapters in and having to give up on something you were actually enjoying at first.
Your Mr reads your fic? That's awesome.
*clings to you* Thank you for letting me spew, lol.
And he does, he does! I had to train him, but yes! He's very evolved. :)
SECOND: I totally misread your post and conflated reading poorly written fic with my end of the year fic meme AND OH GOD, I THOUGHT I WAS A DECENT WRITER. So I was going to come into your post all, "BUT I DO READ MY FIC OUT LOUD. I print it out and edit it after I've sent it to a beta and I have quality betas, sometimes I made my roommate listen to it when I'm getting ready to post in case there's some clunky phrasing, I'M SO SORRY, MY DYSLEXIA GETS THE BEST OF ME, OH GOD I'M NEVER WRITING AGAIN." But ha, those are two separate comments and now I can only hope my fic doesn't suck when you do read it.
OH MY GOD I WOULD NEVER CALL SOMEONE OUT FOR SHITTY WRITING ON MY LJ, WHAAAAAAT? Especially not someone who's stories I happen to like. I ARE SORREH FOR YOUR MOMENTARY GRIEFS. I ENJOY your fic! I have your sailor series on my Kindle and it gets re-reads quite often. I WILL MAKE A POINT OF LEAVING YOU OODLES OF COMMENTS so you can puff your chest out at my fangirling. Hahaha.
