So thank God for my wonderful best friend who allowed me to borrow her laptop this week so I could get some writing done. Bless her soul.

I finished writing my 30 Kisses prompt and now I need to give myself a little break before proofing. So I'm just sitting here thinking about the next 100 Steps chapter and feeling bad that I left it hanging at ( Read more... )

I'm glad someone enjoys reading my rants. I don't know why I write them. I guess it's just things I'm thinking about and I need to get them out of my head so I stop thinking it. Same reason I write fanfiction ( ... )

God bless best friends with laptops!

I for one, can't wait to read A Few Words - and I'm British! I don't have a problem with the American setting - hello, AU! And while I've been known to titter (yeh, in a rather patronising way - good Lord we Brits can be so very precious about our language!!) when reading an 'Americanism' (shock, horror!) it really shouldn't be the big deal some people make it. And as you rightly say Brit writers often litter their American fandom fics with British expressions and slang (guilty!). If the story is well written and the characters well observed who cares? I'm just sorry that your own experience of Britpickers has been so poor. I've done some beta work, including Britpicking and I've certainly never felt offended by reading the American word - isn't that the point of the beta? Most recently I actually did some beta work on a HP fic written by a Brit and I actually pointed out quite a few 'Americanisms' that she had used (aaah, you're taking over our minds!!). Far from being offended we both ( ... )

At least that's one person. It did ease my nerves. I don't know. I guess it's because I once lived in the world of Harry/Draco (never again...) You have certainly been living in a cave. HP fans can be both moronic and nasty. I just...gets old, I suppose. The Ron/Draco people are so fabulous compared to other ships, though. Really. I think the smaller ships are the better ones. Fewer chances for morons, maybe, or perhaps we're just smarter. After all, we are the ones that actually get why Ron/Draco is better than Harry/Draco could ever hope to be.

My fics get rec'd a lot? ::blinks:: I had no idea.

Anyway...

Yes, A Few Words is about as AU as it really gets. At least it's funny...Well, to me, anyway...But I have an interesting view on Draco Malfoy so that probably helps.

Anyway...

Thanks again. Your reply really did help.
