There has to be a limit for how much I can apologize for spamming your flists with Veronica Mars fics about six years too late, but since I'm pretty sure that I crossed that about three fics back, this is me accepting that I should be straightjacketed. First step to recovery, etc. But seriously though, this is the last one for a good, long while ( Read more... )

fanfiction: veronica mars, character: dick casablancas, freud probably has a theory on it, fanfiction is a valid life choice, i may be love's bitch, fanfiction, character: keith mars, patron saint of doomed ships, character: wallace fennel, follow the yellow brick road, friendship is the best ship, you could be my epic love, character: mac mackenzie, the brat pack is my legit angsty bff, in soviet russia post tags you, character: logan echolls, character: cassidy casablancas, fandom: veronica mars, ship: logan/veronica, character: weevil navarro, character: veronica mars, this is my actual otp

I LOVE THIS SONG THOUGH. cranmers April 24 2013, 20:43:41 UTC

Oooh new layout.

I need to hurry up and watch more of this.

Re: I LOVE THIS SONG THOUGH. youcallitwinter April 24 2013, 20:48:40 UTC

This is why I think I have ADD because since I realized that people make layouts, I've been at it like I am with my icons. WHY AM I THIS.

YES, you do. Although lol, I'm pretty sure 85% of fandom will tell you that you're not missing out on much if you don't watch S3.

Re: I LOVE THIS SONG THOUGH. cranmers April 24 2013, 20:50:05 UTC

HHAHAHAAHA. I used to change my layout ALL.THE.TIME. It took a lot of effort to stop, so I do get you.

Oh and lol do you concur re: S3?

Re: I LOVE THIS SONG THOUGH. youcallitwinter April 24 2013, 21:08:46 UTC

WELL, THAT IS GOOD TO KNOW. I have this awful habit of searching more than actually doing anything. Like, I keep searching for icons, layouts, fic and waste all my times. Or if I'm writing a paper, then I keep searching for academic work etc. I AM A PROCRASTINATOR OF NO MEAN CALIBRE.

No! I liked S3 a lot! Honestly, I think watching in real time and waiting was the issue, but since we're watching it all together, I think that changes!

Wonderful fic! :)

And also chiming in with the season 3 appreciation. I mean it's not my favourite season, but from the people warn you off it I was expecting legit terrible television, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a lot I liked about it. Some episodes dragged, but there was a lot of good there too and I did like the episode that winds up the campus rape arc

youcallitwinter April 24 2013, 23:09:21 UTC

Thank you :D

I know! I thought it'd be awful, and then it turned out...not bad at all. But I've realized that watching a show while it's airing is an entirely different experience because there's too much time for deconstruction and disillusionment, like in TVD right now. I'm sure my reaction would be v. different if I was watching it all at once!

Curse you, you brilliant son of a bitch, this is too painful, too good, too Veronica.

Perfection, though, really. You have become *the* VM fic writer in my mind, jsyk.

youcallitwinter April 24 2013, 23:13:08 UTC

Hee, I have "a" post S2 Veronica, AND I CANNOT SEEM TO STOP WRITING HER. Especially considering that everything seemed so hunky-dory with them at the end.

Hee, YOU FLATTER, SIR. Also, no way, there are amazing fic writers in fandom, I'm so glad to be here!

archangel_blood April 25 2013, 10:39:02 UTC

Ok, you are officially one of my favourite VM fic writers right now. Seriously, the things you do with words, I CAN’T EVEN. This is too beautiful, and I’m a mess, so let me quote the whole thing back to you, basically.

His fingers are gentle against the broken skin and she thinks sometimes he tries to keep her together with just his hands and dry sarcasm.
But that’s exactly what he does. Gah, these stupid, lovely kids. <3

"That's what she said," Dick says and it's so sick and awful, it almost makes her laugh.
Giggling through tears, tbh.

She's indented into his couch, and when she leaves, he doesn't sit on it. But she always comes back, he has to have noticed by now.
This is just gorgeous.

Ok, you are officially one of my favourite VM fic writers right now.

Hee, I'd imagine I'm also the only VM fic writer right now, considering the six-years-too-late-thing. Also, ugh, I need to stop writing because then I cannot stop editing and this fic is now like 500 words more than it was, just, ugh.

But that’s exactly what he does. Gah, these stupid, lovely kids.

I really liked the idea of Veronica knowing that this is what he does.

Thank you so much, you're positively lovely to me, and keep enabling my awfulness <3

ETA: Also, Giggling through tears, tbh., I was all; Dick making a sexual innuendo out of rape, am I being too awful? But then the whole fic is awful, so I let it be.

archangel_blood April 25 2013, 16:49:34 UTC

Well, I was never much into VM fic until recently, so everything, even 6-year-old stories, is still new and shiny, ergo the compliment absolutely stands :D

Heh, I have the edit-until-you-can't-feel-your-fingers-anymore syndrome too, so I can relate.

Dick making a sexual innuendo out of rape, am I being too awful?
No, you're just keeping the characters in character :)

youcallitwinter April 25 2013, 17:26:15 UTC

Haha, honestly I'm ecstatic I'm this into fic because of VM. I'd been really uninspired lately and hadn't felt like reading fic at all!

EDITING IS THE WORST. I'M A SERIAL EDITOR. But I'm too impatient for a beta, so that's there. :s

No, you're just keeping the characters in character :)

LOL, that's how I excuse all my awfulness :D

catteo April 25 2013, 12:25:57 UTC

This almost made me weep. Your Veronica is so broken and I just want to wrap her up in cotton wool until she's all fixed. And Logan, GAH, LOGAN. This
His fingers are gentle against the broken skin and she thinks sometimes he tries to keep her together with just his hands and dry sarcasm.
I MEAN, DAYUM GURL!!!

Basically I am loving that you've discovered VM and are writing fic. And I'm kind of loving the darkness of it too (especially since we were all so traumatised the first time about that I think all anyone wrote were happy endings). It's insane to think of all that Veronica went through and I can still remember that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when we all figured out what Cassidy had done. You capture her unravelling and attempt at pulling herself back together again so gloriously. This is why LJ should have a kudos button.

youcallitwinter April 25 2013, 12:53:34 UTC

I watched the whole thing all at once, so it moved from the revelations to the happy, spinning kisses pretty fast. But I'm sure that if I'd had to live through the real-time hiatus between the seasons, I'd have imagined Veronica as being all over the place and Logan just, oh Logan.

Besides which I'd have loved some canon exploration, considering that even more than Lilly's death, it was her rape that resulted in the cutting of the hair and the general transformation the first time round. And then she lived a dream-run thinking she hadn't been raped after all, so realizing that she actually had, must've been like going through the initial feelings all over again. I JUST WANT TO MAKE HER SOUP AND PAINT HER NAILS OR HOLD HER CAMERA FOR HER OR ANYTHING <3

Thank you so much, honestly someone who's been in fandom liking this makes me happy :D
