Quick update because... procrastination:

Major speech tomorrow that I... have yet to actually practice and time out, never mind the fact that I... haven't even put together my visual aid yet. Uh.
I have... actually been writing things as of late?! Small, little bits and pieces yes, but THE DESIRE IS ACTUALLY THERE! This is kind of nice considering I ( Read more... )

Does anyone but me ever miss the days when they could read any -- ANY!!! -- fanfic about their favorite characters and/or ship and ENJOY IT? And then somewhere along the way you somehow sprouted a sense of good taste and decent characterization and SUDDENLY you were just like... "WHERE IS THE GOOD FIC?! WHY DO I HATE EVERYTHING?! DESPAAAAAIR."

LOLOL. Yes. I know what you mean. I hate it when the good writers move on or go into hiding, and all we're left with is the dross. (Have I mentioned that I don't read any new IY fic at all anymore? Unless it's by someone I already know and trust to write these characters well?)

My solution has been to move into tiny, obscure fandoms where your head-canon becomes the fanon of the series, but this is very difficult to pull off. (After all, the moment someone else posts something, the fanon is no longer only yours.) BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF TINY OBSCURE FANDOMS OUT THERE AND I PROMISE, WHEN ANOTHER FAN COMES ALONG AND COMMENTS ON YOUR STUFF IT WILL FILLYOU WITH CRACK-LIKE GLEE, HEHE! :D
