So. Four years ago I said I'd write a publishable work. But though I started working on one, it never was finished. I have left many fanfics unfinished, both publicly and anonymously. I've posted sporadically - which is nothing new but has grown quite a bit worse - and only published a few one-shot fanfics now and again without updating my ( Read more... )

Trigger warning, this post will contain interpretation of a relationship as Non-con. Read at your own risk.
So, actually, I am enjoying Supernatural Season 11 so far. I feel like there's been some great scenes and interesting plot twists. We've gotten to see characters from previous seasons again, We've gotten some fantastic brotherly bonding ( Read more... )

So, recently, while I had a cold, I vegged on Movie Sins. Couldn't help it. They're like 5-30 minute versions of MST3K. They had the HP movies, so I shrugged and dived in. Probably a mistake. See, I've avoided HP fandom, and I'm really glad I did. HP will never hold that special place to me of Most Hated Story Ever that Twilight does. Maybe ( Read more... )

I work in the service industry, and lately a certain thing people do has started making me see red.

Please Wait HereWhat really bugs me lately is the fact that customers seem to be completely unable to understand the concept of "form a line here." I mean, seriously? I'm pretty sure we've all grown up standing in lines. Everywhere you go you ( Read more... )

Here's where Salmon contradicts every other female author out there. The most common rant is - why can't men write women? Me? All my fav female characters were written by men ( Read more... )

So...H/C fiction. (That's Hurt/Comfort for the uninformed.) It's one of those guilty little pleasures. We all know 3/4 of H/C fiction is crap, but we read them anyway. Occasionally we even manage to find one we can enjoy rather than groan over. Admittedly, that's rare. Yet, somehow, we're compelled to try again and again, hoping against hope that ( Read more... )

So, it's no secret I read M/NC-17 fiction. After all, I write M/NC-17 fiction. I'm not ashamed of this because, seriously, everyone does realize that 3/4 of adult fiction that includes a romance falls under that category, right? Sure, a fair amount cut-scene after the foreplay, but even most foreplay is M rated ( Read more... )

I'm not exactly a scream to the hilltops Proud to Be American kind of girl. I have to admit, though, that Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. I remember sitting around with my sisters watching the Macy's Day Parade while tearing up bread for stuffing. Followed by cleaning, buttering, and stuffing the turkey. Making shapes out of my ( Read more... )

So, I hate when I'm chilling in one of my favorite writing sites and - wham - I end up in a debate with someone who is condescending to me despite the fact that they're not presenting any better arguments than I am. And then feel the need to give wikipedia-ripped explanations of facts I am already aware of. At the very least pull out your Webster ( Read more... )

I'm never going to get my novel done if I keep writing rants. But I'm starting to think that I'll never even get my work published because my opinion is so different than others. Yet I've gotten a lot of compliments for my work over the years, so I must be doing something right. Curiouser, and Curiouser ( Read more... )
