I see the list of "ten signs I wrote this story" meme is going around again, and cannot resist navel-gazing. I did this meme back in January of 2006, which is not all that long ago except in fandom terms. Here it is, with additions in parentheses. Bold parentheses!

I think I know what you meant here. I think.

Spring in Nova Scotia does have its benefits -- tonight's dinner was scallops flash-fried in bacon fat, over beet greens, and to follow, and apple and rhubarb crumble. (I'm using up the last of my apples.) I just wish it were a little warmer, that's all ( Read more... )

Seen everywhere! Of course, by posting this Saturday morning I can be relatively sure that no one will read this.

Ten Signs the Story You're Reading Is by Vanzetti1. Shameless overuse of the "then + verb" construction. Must break this habit ( Read more... )

I've seen that "10 things I assume you know about me" meme going around. I don't really assume that you know these things, but you might want to.

( ten things you might want to know about me )

I've seen this one around, here and there.

I think that these are my ten favorite titles of my own stories (my god, what awkward grammar!)

There's something vaguely ironic about posting this list on Mother's Day, but here's that "10 fictional women" meme; I saw it first on leadensky's journal, and wish more people would do it. I'm not sure how I'd characterise this list: female characters I admire, or at least find interesting? Something like that. The common threads are dreadfully clear, ( Read more... )

I've seen this fanfic request meme three places now (researchminion, yahtzee63 and kerlin) and it looks neat. Even though I still have half-written sense of place stories cluttering up my notebook, and no free time ( Read more... )

...because it's been all moaning all the time for me, recently. AKA, ten things I like (and think there should be more of) in fanfic. With the caveat that I'm reading rather sporadically these days, so for all I know this stuff is everywhere.

I really like the "five crushes you had as a child/teenager" meme, if only as an excuse to dredge up some fond yet embarrassing memories.

1. Aragorn. I've had this crush since I was seven. It comes and goes, but I see no reason to give it up.
2. Dr. McCoy. Even then, I liked the secondary characters. McCoy had some interesting stuff going on.
3. Luke ( Read more... )
