Heh, amusing old post
Since I'm stuck on an incredibly annoying scene, that insists on being written, and written the hard way (the easy way having been already done elsewhere, dammit), I decided to fiddle with some tags, and in the process ran across some of the stuff I tried to write for NaNo in 2004 and 2005.
First, yeesh! If I ever decide to try and pick that story up again, it needs serious help. Probably a complete rewrite from scratch.
Second, I found this post amusing, in which I lamented the loss of the fanfic writing of my youth, that used to seize hold of me and not let go until it was written, at the expense of really just about anything and everything else.
Be careful what you wish for. At least I don't have to write it out longhand anymore. In fact, I think that would frustrate the hell out of me. Keyboard's way faster.
ETA: I ran across some tool ages ago that would show how many posts a tag had been used on. Did I bookmark it, stick it in my LJ and stick it in memories, any other useful idea like that? No. Is it in the FAQ anywhere I can see it? No. Since I probably got it from one of you folks in the first place, then, I'll ask: anybody know where I'd find such a thing?
