gravitation is still one of my favourites. kickthebeat October 21 2005, 06:55:37 UTC

I think weepy grovelling in a public forum is a little beneath me, the majority of the time, but I will do whatever it takes.

though that would probably not be a happy ending story either.

how bout mulder as a pirate? no, literally a pirate! candle_beck October 21 2005, 07:07:06 UTC

i'm sorry, are you from canada? eh?

dude, if it was both mulder as a cardinal and a happy ending, i think perhaps my head would explode.

if you give him a peg leg, nothing will stop me from loving you forever. kickthebeat October 21 2005, 07:12:07 UTC

not until I marry into the country! I have plans for that Harden boy, he just doesn't know them yet.

I fear my boy is incapable of happy endings at this point, unless he can find one in a stripper's vagina. good luck with that, I say.

1. I rushed the end of ‘The Rest of Your Life,’ and it shows.

Heh, were your ears burning? Since she put up the soundtrack, offspeed and I have been kinda talking about it. (I was trying to figure out why I was so emotional about the end.) I think I'd welcome a sequel that settled things with more of a sense of finality, but I'll leave the badgering for that to Alex :-P

4. The How-To series bugs me. Pretty much everything I wrote early on (with a few exceptions) bugs me.

I think that's understandable, because from reading your stuff, you've improved muchly since those writings. Like, I know it bugs me whenever I see someone on my flist using one of the my early icons. All I can see is everything I did wrong with it. The cropping could have been better, the text isn't properly placed, the brush use should have been more subtle... I have to admit, the How-To series is one of I think two stories of yours that I read but didn't comment on (at least I don't think I did), because while I was intrigued by the premise, I wasn't crazy ( ... )

sure, drag me into this ;p

See? Just another reason to light a candle at the Shrine of Sorkin.

was that supposed to be punny? ar ar ar.

ayrdaomei October 21 2005, 16:24:19 UTC

sure, drag me into this ;p

HEY, at least I didn't blame you for making me think the story was called Undercurrents :-P **coughs** (though really, I can't blame you for that, because I've got eyes, haven't I? I should probably be able to, you know, READ, at this point).

was that supposed to be punny?

7. I am as much of a lurker as any of you.

i'm pretty sure i lurk more than all y'all combined.

littlestclouds October 21 2005, 15:51:08 UTC

also, i am stealing this idea because that's what i do.

candle_beck October 22 2005, 05:36:27 UTC

you are good with the commenting and teh feedback, though. me, less so.

take it.

littlestclouds October 22 2005, 19:35:20 UTC

i have my moments of "OMG i can't shut the hell up about this story!" and then the moments of ". . . durr. me likey. MORE!" i guess as long as the author knows i liked it?

you've started a craze, my friend.

dreadnought October 21 2005, 16:05:23 UTC

Oh, Mulder as a Cardinal...I still can't quite handle that. Time heals all wounds, they tell me, but I can't believe that Huddy and Mulder will ever look quite right in those new colors.

ayrdaomei October 21 2005, 16:27:35 UTC

Five years later, Moose still looks...off in Yankee pinstripes :-/

dreadnought October 21 2005, 16:37:50 UTC

I'm sorry. I love the Moose dearly, but I know what you mean. The Yankees ruined Giambi (well, he ruined himself, I guess you could say).

ayrdaomei October 21 2005, 19:06:04 UTC

It's not your fault. **sniffs** But yes, time helps. A little.

(Btw, it was really fun to watch Byrnes play at OPCY :-P Too bad his hitting fell off like it did; his energy and enthusiasm were so endearing.)

i am skipping part of my class to fill this out, so feel special! littlestclouds October 21 2005, 16:14:12 UTC

1. I rushed the end of ‘The Rest of Your Life,’ and it shows.

truth be told, that isn't something i picked up on. i thought it ended just fine, but then again, i am a whore for angst.

2. The first thing that comes to mind when I’m trying to describe something is the location and quality of the light.

really? hmm. when i'm trying to describe something/someone, the first thing that comes to me is the person's/persons' hands.

4. The How-To series bugs me. Pretty much everything I wrote early on (with a few exceptions) bugs me.

i liked that one. it was the first you!fic i ever read, so it holds a special place in my heart, even if i do agree that you've improved upon your craft.

5. I used to write Mulder/Scully het when I was thirteen. Ha!

shoot me for immediately thinking mark mulder/vin scully.

8. The stories I like best are very rarely the ones that are best-received.

same here.

12. I have been trying to write a genuinely happy ending for months now.

how's that going?

13. The name of the story is ‘Undercurrent.’ Singular. I ( ... )

i do! candle_beck October 22 2005, 05:42:41 UTC

the happy ending is still elusive. i think maybe it will involve street? because i find it difficult to cause pain to something so pretty.

yo, if i can ask, do you think 'undercurrents' is a more appropriate title? because i can see how maybe there was more than one thing underlying in that story. it's only called what it is because it got started by a couple of people telling me there was an undercurrent of violence in what i wrote. and that is, in fact, what the title refers to. it's not unrequited love at all! psych!

vin scully

why are you so intent on traumatizing me.

Re: i do! littlestclouds October 22 2005, 19:31:40 UTC

i've written one happy ending in my entire writing career. i find depressing or angsty endings more fulfilling :p <----satan

i dunno, i keep referring to it as undercurrents (apparently, didn't even know i was doing that) but it may be a meijer/meijers thing. it just seemed like there was a lot of stuff going on under the surface, so it made sense in my brain to tack on the extra s? although i don't think i thought it was about unrequited love at all. i was thinking more along the lines of the strain of violence and ( ... )
