Fandom vs. The Real World
This is a little bit different from my normal posts, but I want to talk about social networking. As in, TwitterFacebook LiveJournalYoutube and now GoogleBuzz. Social networking, and fandom.

Big Finish do the Doctor Who audios.
There is no non-fannish creative writing from me. I mean I wrote a short story once. It was crap. Nobody has read it and I don't know where it is. And I apparently agreed to write a thing at that con, so someday there will be two, I guess. But really I write fic because I'm into fic, not because I'm into writing. I have no interest in ever becoming "legitimate".
Apparently, I write annoying fluff, annoying shallow angst, and lots of remixes that come out as annoying fluff and/or shallow angst. I plan crack and big epic plotty stuff, but I don't seem to have finished and posted any of it. Ever. It's all pretty G-rated, though the plotty stuff will have PG-13-worthy amounts of violence if it ever happens.
GoogleBuzz sounds stupid. I have no accounts on any of those sites, and I don't even know what the last one is. I always thought that the best way to follow your email friends was to check your email.

so are the Doctor Who audios like radio episodes? or like a radio show about doctor who? or books on tape? i don't really know anything about them. : P

that's totally fine. and i like that people can write fic COMPLETELY for fun. since there's no other purpose, i guess. but also there's no pressure to be published or uber-amazing or anything.

you're probably very right. i just got turned onto this site about social marketing, mashable.com, and they liked it a lot...but they're kind of a weird group of people, anyway. : )
