holy crap... that's huge! i'm so glad she took it well! lol i'm sure she'll love it all though, your writing is wonderful :)

[felisblanco]

Thank you. I really hope so. I think I was more nervous before but now it's out of my hands and all I can do is sit and wait. Which isn't easy. I gave my best friend some to read and I haven't heard from her since. That was two weeks ago. (Which kinda, ok, she's sick and doesn't have much energy to do much of anything but still. Two weeks!)

your writing is awesome
Go you!
Jared and Sandy are so adorable
but people bitching and being ann pissy about it annoys the fuck outta me
x

[felisblanco]

Thank you, sweetie. *hugs*

They are, aren't they? So lovely. And the bitching is just ridiculous. It's one thing to be a bit pouty that your OTP isn't real (although still, who knows? Lalala... *shines tinhat*) but to be nasty to Sandy and Jared about it? *shakes head* I really hope fandom behaved at the con when they announced it. I haven't had time to read any reports yet.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Well done!!! You're 'coming out', that's awesome!
I've been thinking about these things lately, like what the hell would I tell people I was doing in Iceland if I went to Icecon?? When am I going to sum up the nerve to introduce my best friend to the seedier parts of fandom? She even suspects I have a secret online life, just nothing specific. Or, how do you explain fanfic to people who, if they've heard about it, most likely think it's for teenage girls or lonely, antisocial losers who need to get a life? And then slash to top it off...
Was it scarier letting your mom read your stories (just because, y'know.... mom), or letting her in on the fanfic thing? I bet she'll be proud that you're such a great writer, and totally cool about it cus you couldn't have grown up to be as cool as you are with a prude mom, now could you..??

[felisblanco]

That's one of the reasons I decided I needed to tell people, at least about fandom. How else to explain strangers coming here to visit me out of the blue. lol

turns out explaining fanfic and even slash was a lot easier than I thought, both to my mom and my friend. They were actually very interested and seemed to find the whole fandom thing fascinated. None of that "they aren't REAL friends" crap.

It's been a while since I told mom about fanfic and it wasn't that hard. It was a bit harder to decide to let her read but possibly easier because I had already given my friend some ('coming out' to her was actually a lot harder and required a lot of beer, lol)

I do hope she'll like it. It's rather nerve wrecking, waiting for her reaction, I must admit.

Good for you. I'm sure your Mum will enjoy your writing. I know I told my mother what I was writing awhile ago and she's never batted an eye. For the most part (going with gross overgeneralization) I think people are generally more laid back about finding out that you write fic of any type than you expect them to be (or I've just been really lucky so far).

Jared and Sandy's engagement is lovely. I'm going to be hoping this spawns lots of future!fic with honourary Uncle Jensen or even Jensen calming down those pre-wedding jitters.

[felisblanco]

I hope she will. It's all very depressing stuff though because all the happy stuff has so much porn. lol She'll probably ask me if I've been feeling down lately. *snorts*

I gotta say, after all the stress the reaction was kinda anti-climactic. lol I'm like, "Where's the judgement? C'mon, call me a perv!" lol It seems that yes, in general, what we do isn't nearly as shocking as we think it is.

Of course I didn't tell her about the Wincest...

[kaydee23]

My gosh. He's such a giant, and she's so tiny. It's like a German shepherd and a chihuahua. Hee. Oh well. My grandparents were like that. He was 6'3 and she as 4'11.

I'm not on any fan boards or communities for this show, but even I've caught the stray remark cutting her down. People are so nuts. If they really really like him, it stands to reason they'd be really really glad for him to be happy. I mean, David Boreanaz is mine, except he's not. And I've totally gotten over the fact that he betrayed, uhmmmm, married someone else besides me. Ha hah. Truly, I love David so much, every time I see him with his wife or son, it makes me love him even more. That's how it should be, in the land of the sane.

[felisblanco]

That's pretty much like my stepdad and mom (although they are divorced now). He's 1.90 m and she's about 1.60 m. lol

Seriously, people are saying she's just in it for the money and that she's a dumb bimbo blahblahblah. *rolls eyes* Wake up and smell your own bullshit, people!

I'd like my OTP to be real as much as the next tinhatted crazy fangirl but I also care enough about the people to want them to be happy even if it might mess with my porn. Which frankly I don't see it doing. Although I've already seen one story posted based on the announcement and the warning is "potential character death". Here we go...
