Dear Yuletide 2011

Nov 19, 2011 15:13

Dear Yuletide writer,

I am beginning to feel like these letters are more a way to tell one's flist what one is asking for than anything, but I will pretend I am writing this for you and not in the hopes that people will write me extra presents. BECAUSE I TOTALLY AM WRITING IT FOR YOU, THIS IS PURELY ALTRUISTIC TO HELP YOUR PROCESS, ASK ANYONE.

HAHAHA BRB WRITING YOU ALL OF THE WHARF BABYFIC AUs!!! You know, sometimes I wonder: TextEdit, why always the worst? And clearly this hilarity has been the reason for it, all this time!

annakovsky November 19 2011, 20:50:26 UTC

I am REALLY GLAD I CAUGHT IT, because I did not know that TextEdit even had autocorrect and I would've looked like such a weirdo! HAS ANYONE EVER MEANT TO WRITE "WHARVES" EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE 21ST CENTURY?

myr_soleil November 19 2011, 20:58:26 UTC

Autocorrect really makes weird decisions. I mean, I appreciate that they want to give hilarious websites book deals just by existing, but still, it seems a bit much! I don't know if you switched to Lion, but they tried to put autocorrect in ALL OF THE APPS EVER, it was a very frightening moment in my life. I mean, I can deal with upside-down scrolling but THAT IS NOT ON.

Also your requests are awesome, idk, I suppose I should comment on the main content of this post, haha.

Heeeeee, I know, I enjoy a good autocorrect blunder as much as the next person, but COMEDY IS WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE, TRAGEDY IS WHEN THEY HAPPEN TO ME.

And ahahaha, I could lie to you and say that posting my yuletide letter earlier than usual had nothing to do with you saying you wanted to write Yuletide treats this weekend, but I won't insult both of us with that charade. :DDDD Oh, and PS, I think I forgot to comment on yours, but I am REALLY REALLY into the idea of Donglover and Gillian Jacobs secretly dating. Like, REALLY REALLY INTO IT.

my one annoying comment frey_at_last November 19 2011, 20:49:30 UTC

Why are parts of this italicized and others not???

Re: my one annoying comment annakovsky November 19 2011, 20:51:07 UTC

Oh! Haha, the italicized parts are my actual requests I wrote on my yuletide form, and the non-italics are my additional commentary, that would probably be good to clear up.

Re: my one annoying comment frey_at_last November 19 2011, 22:09:06 UTC

I see, I had the impression they were just the parts you were emphasizing or speaking from an echoey distance, or perhaps set to music. So it is good that I asked and we got this straight!

Re: my one annoying comment annakovsky November 19 2011, 23:51:59 UTC

Ahahahaha, an echoey distance! That is how you should always read my italics from now on.

I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU CHOOSE TO BE.

I HOPE WE GET SETH AND AMY FOR CHRISTMAS! A-and also all the other stuff. :DDD

Oh, good to know! You should post that to the AO3 or something so people can find it!

Pretty much!

annakovsky November 20 2011, 21:31:42 UTC

Ahahaha, hopefully it will just lead to more fic!
