Fic: Binary (The Day After Tomorrow, J.D./Brian, G)

[carolinecrane]

I am not actually here. In fact, this entire post is a figment of your imagination, and you should probably see somebody about your hallucinations. But if I were here, I would tell you that I'm not keeping up with anything and I have no plans to catch up with...well, anything, so if there's something you think I should know about, you can

Aw, thanks, I've missed you too. I don't think anyone else has missed me, though, and considering how much I haven't missed fandom in general, I'm wondering if this temporary vacation isn't going to become a more permanent thing. I think maybe I've worn out my welcome or something.

I didn't see your post about the movie, but I said after the first time that I saw it that I absolutely wasn't going to write Rich Kid/Supernerd slash even though they were very subtexty. Technically I haven't, since this is mostly gen and all, but it definitely leaned in that direction. If I hadn't gone to see the movie again J.D. probably wouldn't have started whispering in my ear, but I haven't written anything at all for five days, so I didn't really mind.

Sadly, my fanfic hiatus hasn't garnered the original fiction ideas I was hoping for, but there are still a few fanfic projects I really have to finish, so I'll be around. Just not as much or as vocally as usual.

I didn't mean for that to sound like I was commenting on the lack of replies to this particular entry, but as soon as I hit post I knew that was exactly how it would sound. It's just a general overall sense that my interests have diverged a lot with the interests of the people I care about, and it's kind of depressing, but it happens. I don't ever keep friends for very long so it's not surprising or anything. The people who are just here for the fic are another story altogether.

Hello you! Hope you're chilling out and all relaxed, and having a shiny time :)

And, you know. If that's a hallucination, I really don't want to see someone about getting rid of it. Because that was lovely. Bitter and hopeful and shiversome. So perfect.

I have a total kink for end-of-the-world stuff. This movie is like crack! Only with added ficcy goodness.

::big hugs:: Remember to check in every now and then. It's far too quiet without you.

If I hadn't gone to see it again I wouldn't have written fic, but I did so I am and I don't know that there will be more, but I just couldn't stand to think of poor J.D. and Brian having to watch Sam the Golden Boy ride off into the post-apocalyptic sunset with no thought for what happens to them and theirs, you know?

Anyway. I've mostly been working my ass off this past week, but I have a feeling it would have been quiet around here even if I had been around. The whole internet seems to have gone dead.

post-apocalyptic sunset
Hee!

I'm going to see it again tomorrow (I think. My aunt wants film company, and she was getting excited over Dr Bilbo) so this time I can pay less attention to the giant swirling clouds of doom, and fangirl the dorky boylove instead.

And, yeah. The internet is so, so dead. I was expecting to have missed things of earth-shattering proportions, but four days of no internet, and my f-list was at something like skip 120. That's just not normal. The whole world seems pretty much dead, and while this would be nice if the weather was gorgeous and sunny and there was things to do, I wouldn't mind, but it's not and there isn't. I'm giving up and going to London for a few weeks, because I think screaming 'entertain me!' at people will start to creep them out somewhat.

Anyway! It's still lovely to see you around, even if it's just a drive-by post. ::hugs::

Hey,
I haven't seen the movie yet but I did like the fic. As for you not being missed, I MISS YOU!!!! I don't know what else to say really other then that. As Neko said earlier just pop in once in a while to say hi.

[carolinecrane]

Thanks. I'm still around, I'm just not around as much as usual. I'm not sure how long it's going to last or what, right now I'm just getting my head straight before I decide what projects to table/cancel/move forward.

[carolinecrane]

My head is completely empty of words right now, so even writing is painful. And since that's pretty much what people come around here for, I decided not to keep whining about it here. But writing this little thing is maybe a step in the right direction. A baby step, but still.

The movie is actually pretty funny (intentionally so), but I liked Independence Day. There are a few nods to that one in the film since they're by the same director, but this one is better, in my opinion. Not that I don't love Will Smith, Action Hero, but Sela Ward aside, I thought the cast in this one was kick-ass and it's all a very hopeful message even considering it's a disaster movie.

Caroline! ::jumps on you:: I've missed.

I like this. It's kind of haunting and sad but at the same time not... because life goes on and all that optimistic bullshit. Man, it's been a while since I read gen fic but this is really good. It makes me want to see the movie though which is bad though because I'd probably just end up buying an inflatable raft and winter coat afterward. heh. Paranoia yay!

Seriously though, I like this and I miss you a lot. ::loves::

[carolinecrane]

I didn't even think you were around to miss anybody. But I always miss you during your hiatuses too.

The movie does have a very sappy, homogenized 'hope for mankind' message, but if you're paranoid about living in a coastal state, you should probably skip it. Although there is an inflatable raft in the movie, so there's that.

Even when I'm not online, I'm obsessing about being online and missing all my friends, you know? Because I love you guys and you're all the life I got. ::sniffle:: It was weird to be gone for like three days and then, when I come back, everyone is gone. It made me miss you all even more.

Disaster movies always creep me out. I watched Dante's Inferno one time and spent the next week planning out all my escape routes for when the lava started aflowin'. ::blink:: Yes, I'm totally serious.

Inflatable raft! I'm psychic.

[carolinecrane]

Oh man, I love Dante's Inferno. "Coffee coffee coffee. Cappuccino!" Um. Sorry.

I know what you mean about the surrealness of going away for awhile only to come back to a ghost town. That was super weird.
