I'm not very good at thinking of story titles, either
mlynne told me that it's perfectly normal to progress from "I'm not getting a livejournal" to "but only for the friends list" to "wow, I'm actually posting." The next step presumably involves worrying about replies, and whether one should acknowledge every comment in the manner of an overanxious hostess greeting every guest over and over, or treat responses more cavalierly and develop a reputation as a curmudgeon. It feels like another potential source of mild guilt, rather like email, which I'm good at ignoring - I have unanswered mail that goes back to 1998 or thereabouts. Which ought to mean that there will soon be something comfortingly familiar about the whole thing.
The wild meta-discussion weekend on Prospect-L is over, and while it was entertaining to see everyone let their hair down, it also served as a demonstration of why the admins were wise to ban all things meta at all other times. (I love meta, it's my drug of choice, but endless rounds of "you are all so mean" are to actual intelligent discussion as a spork is to a Ginsu knife.) Love the story reviews, though, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I think all fandoms should have fiction discussion lists like Prospect, though preferrably without the sockpuppets.
In other news, there is no a in definitely, and might is the past tense of may. No, honestly.
