got down on her knees and cried til she prayed
Most of the email I get these days is from the Long Island Railroad, letting me know that there is trouble on the Ronkonkoma branch. Most of the time, I'm just grateful I only take it once a month and don't have to deal with all the problems on a regular basis. After posting a story, though, there's nothing sadder than seeing you have a new email and hoping it's feedback and discovering that no, it's just that the 11:41 am train into Penn is running 13 minutes late.
My life, so hard.
I also find it interesting that conventional fannish wisdom says porn gets more comments than gen and m/m gets more comments than het, but my most commented on stories ever are 1. a gen crossover (HP/Firefly), 2. a gen crossover (SPN/Muppets), 3. a gen SPN story (Dean knits), and then, yes, 4. a PG rated Wincest story. My most popular Avengers stories are either het or gen, as well (though I think that's also the Darcy Factor at work. There should absolutely be a story titled "The Darcy Factor." IJS).
I'm not really going anywhere with this. I was just thinking about it because I posted a story yesterday:
The Drop In (at AO3)
Avengers (2012); Steve/Bucky/Natasha; adult; 2,390 words
Steve knows better than to walk into a room without knocking, but the door was unlocked.
holli and I talked about how we couldn't find any Bucky/Natasha pegging fic, and seriously if ever there were a poster pairing for pegging*, it'd be Bucky/Natasha, and then we both wrote some, with bonus Steve! Because Steve/Bucky/Natasha is an OT3 of PURE AWESOME and also pegging.
I almost didn't finish mine, though, because while I was writing on Sunday, I got up to refill my water bottle and dropped the TV remote on the laptop keyboard, and suddenly got this REALLY SCARY AND DEMANDING message that I had to REBOOT IMMEDIATELY. In the two years I've had the MacBook, I'd never seen anything like it. So I rebooted, and was afraid that I'd lost ~400 words but thankfully they were in the recovered document. I know you're all relieved to know I didn't have to rewrite the description of how pretty Bucky looked while being fucked.
Speaking of which, I am so amused by this ad for Political Animals. GAY ICON. FORMER FIRST SON. RENEGADE. *dies* Please let this show be good!
*Also, Dick/Babs. Or Dick/Kory.
