You won't admit you love me, and so...

May 14, 2007 12:02

How am I ever to know?!

Bah, I love Cake. That cover's so ridiculously fun. Anyway, I'm in the mood for fic. Fic that I can print off and take outside with me and read it while I bask, gloriously, in the sunshine and work on tanning freckling. Tanning bed tans look ugly.The only problem is... I am having issues finding good quality Harry Potter ( Read more... )

silly frivolity, fic, grouchy

The idea of someone sleeping with a rifle right beside him/her is somewhat terrifying. Eek.

Mm. I feel the same way sometimes. Have you seen gehayi's stuff?

I got to thinking about the way fanfic archives are and what's wrong with them after hpnic06 asked me what my idea of the platonic ideal of a fanfic archive was. Of course, as I was at work, and pressing the F2 key doesn't take much mental effort, I got to thinking about that. I've got more tl;dr thoughts on what is wrong with various archives (and in other fandoms, where FFN is the only option, what they really need).

Seeing as how it's Monday, my mind is a little broken, but care to elaborate on that? Tl;dr thoughts and bad Percy/Scabbers porn is kind of a staple of this blog.

See, tl;dr thoughts also require that I write them out. And since I have the day off, I don't think I'm up to that task.

I've given up with HP fanfic; there's just too much crap out there. You might get lucky and find a gem, but more likely than not, you'll get stuck with some suethor's version of the tale. Though I do suggest SpehereofSilence.org; they have some good HP and IY stories on there, but don't update very often.

I understand entirely about the paranoia. I used to sleep with a steak knife under my pillow because I was terrfied some weirdo was going to try to hurt me. We lived out in the middle of nowhere, with the closest neighbours our elderly landlords whom I doubt could've heard or helped me out in the case of an attack.

ixnay on the sphereofsilence.org Looks like they got taken down or something.

worstangel May 14 2007, 20:12:33 UTC

Yeah, our nearest neighbors are on the other side of the hill, and my house is much closer to the highway than theirs. Cause for worry... =//

It just seems like there's so much crap in fandom, I don't know, I was hoping for a sort of Shangri-La.

I agree. It's really hard, and sometimes its just not worth it, but you have to look anyways.

Then again, half the fandoms never read the books, either, which is sad. *is going through her second read thru of HBP*

I knwo how you feel fanfic wise. Ones I see nowaways I read a chapter or only part and go "Ack!" You have that many reviews and how many errors with crappy story lines and a BETA?!?!?! But I have a few good HP ones from ff.net that I stalk if you'd like the links.

christycorr May 18 2007, 06:58:01 UTC

Heh. this reminded me of you (NWS!).
