Having a bad day......

Age is catching up with me and the old brain cells are on a go-slow. So, I decided I'm going to make the effort to try to finish some of the zillion WIPs I have on my hard drive.

I'm belatedly getting around to reading this years Halloween stories and, as usual, there are some corkers. What a truly imaginative bunch of writers we have in our fandom. Well done, all.

I've just discovered someone on Youtube posting about AO3. In one of her posts she reads out a Guardians Of the Galaxy fanfic called I Am Groot. The fic consists entirely of the one sentence I Am Groot, over and over and over! Now, I know the character Groot only ever says this phrase, but is the author of this repetitive piece clever, lazy or ( Read more... )

Wow, one of my stories on AO3 has reached 10,000 hits. Mind you, it took 6 years to get there!
