Awww

And I'm too tired to say anything else. Pretty though.

impossiblestar September 26 2010, 05:15:15 UTC

I'm tired, too. But thank you. I will probably be more elegant in the morning. :)

shanachie_quill September 26 2010, 17:33:07 UTC

:-) It was like 1AM when I wrote that...so I'll forgive you for your lack of elegance if you forgive me.

Not a big fan of Annie/Auggie, but there seems to be a lot of it...as long as it's well written I'll read it and this was. :-)

I'm open to pretty much all the pairings in some way, I just like Annie/Auggie the best. I think Annie/Jai works best one-sided (he's beautiful on his own, but his actual interactions with her are full-on sleaze), and Annie/Ben is okay, we just have no idea what she saw in him in the first place so there's very little to go on.

Which is you favorite pairing, if not Annie/Auggie?

shanachie_quill September 26 2010, 18:46:26 UTC

Yeah, Jai is kinda a sleaze. He was awesome in the last episode though. Kinda totally Bond-ish with his running around in Sri Lanka.

Cannot stand Ben though I will admit that. I think what Annie saw is that he was exotic and new...if that makes sense. And it was the lure of the new and forbidden. Although he could have made himself more attractive to her because he'd been trained that way.

I'm kinda weird in that I only go with canon pairings. So the only pairing is Joan/Arthur...if that makes sense. I'll read stories with other pairings, but I don't really advocate them. And they have to be well written.

My stories have an OFC that's an old friend of Auggie's and I know some people frown on that, but they have a complicated relationship.

And wow...I totally just rambled.

impossiblestar September 26 2010, 22:23:50 UTC

Yes! I started out hating Jai, because he was so flat and skeezy and evil. And then he got character development, so while I still like him as a character, he's just not good with Annie, I think. Not as good as Auggie is, anyway. (And yes, running around all Bond-like was awesome)

Ben... he doesn't seem sincere. Like he's his own brand of sleaze. Maybe it's a different brand of sleaze, but it's still sleaze.

I understand the canon pairings thing. I love shipping, but I understand your preference for canon. Also, well-written-ness for the win!

I do frown on OFCs, but only because I know how hard it is to keep them from becoming Mary Sues. I have read good ones, it's just difficult to keep them flawed, you know? I don't know if I've read yours or not.

And I ramble, so it's perfectly fine. :)

At the beginning I was mostly like "they took away his pretty accent!" which cracked a couple of my friends up because for weeks that was all I could say. And about the time I stopped saying that, he started to get a personality. So I like him, but yeah not with Annie.

I don't think either guy with Annie at this point. Both of them are so broken...it's just asking for trouble. And I'd like to smack some sense into Annie. But that's just me.

Ben was too much an agent I think. He'd spent so much time out in the cold and playing everyone that he's just all around sleaze. But there's something else going on that we haven't learned yet. And both Jai and Auggie are involved.

*nods* English teacher so I will actually stop reading if a fic has too many grammatical errors.

Oh, you're the person who wrote that fic! That one. The one I really liked but couldn't remember the name of. That one. Wow.

Re: well-written-ness, I usually get a bad feeling about the fic itself. I used to have lower standards, but now I just avoid badly-written summaries and can't concentrate on anything with egregious grammar errors.

shanachie_quill September 27 2010, 03:13:25 UTC

Oh no...that fic you say...which fic? *is worried now* *goes and hides*

I read so much badly written things for work which isn't really my kids' faults (well sometimes it is) that if I'm reading for pleasure, I'd like to read things that are well-written and well-thought out.

*sighs* And I would really, REALLY like my characters to stop fighting me so I could maybe get my friend's present finish tonight.

The Emma fic. The one I really liked. With the whipped cream. }:)

I'm kind of jaded for a teenager, and I can't stand badly-written stuff. I grew up reading good books, so I hold my fanfic to the same standards to which I hold books. My thinking is, if I can write with some semblance of grammar, you can write with some semblance of grammar, and don't use "but it's just fanfic" as an excuse.

And I write original fiction, too, so I sympathize. Currently, my characters are swirling in that nebulous hell known as writer's block.

shanachie_quill September 27 2010, 04:30:40 UTC

Well I'm glad you liked that one. I like Emma a lot. She's probably tied as my favorite of my OCs for fanfic. She doesn't go quite as far as Aiden with the lack of brain to mouth filter.

I've got a couple more fics with Emma...including a couple from before Covert Affairs starts (hence Auggie is not blind.)

With that being said, I can understand if English is not your first language, but I have friends who are in that situation and either use a beta or work really hard to make sure things are right.
