Hi, livejournal, hi. I kind of just do homework and feel stressed and spend some time cooking or whatever, but then today I saw fitofpique, who is entirely made of awesomeness

Unrelated to anything fitofpique said, but I have all sorts of thoughts about stories sometimes, and I would like to blab about them, but, like. The author is supposed to be dead or something. The author is definitely supposed to be quiet, which is just LIKE being dead. I was telling this to desfinado a month ago, but it's totally still true. ... that I have all these feelings I want to share, not that the author is quietly dead. That last thing has been true for way longer than a month. Actually, both things have been true for longer than a month.

What??? What are you even talking about lady?? You should totallly blab about your stories, are you kidding me? Unless... wait, did someone actually die? Is someone actually dead? What's going on??

I have to tell you though, your brain is wrong. Brendon and Shane DO NOT end up killing Spencer. IDK what they do with him, but it doesn't involve death or dying. Someone told your brain wrong. ;)

Because it's like, "Fahhh, not too many people read this in the first place but listen to all of my ~feelings~ fah fah fah." Nobody actually dies! Isn't that a saying? That the author is dead? I feel like that's a saying? O_o

hahahah, sorry, bb. fitofpique has it ending much differently, which was fucking ADORABLE and I totally enjoyed.

But Brendon and Shane totes kill Spencer.

hahaha YOU JUST COULDN'T LET ME HAVE MY DREAM, COULD YOU?? NO. YOU HAD TO SQUASH IT! :P

I am not familiar with the dead author quote, but that doesn't mean much. Anyway, I think that you should talk about whatever you want, including and ESPECIALLY your own stories. Personally, I LOVE it when authors share background info or possible alternate endings or "where they are now/what happened next/what I was thinking when I wrote this scene" stuff. I love all of that. And I think you might find an audience for those posts because when other authors have done DVD commentaries on their fics they seem to have received a good response. So, maybe that's just something to consider.

(breaking out my sad icon in memory of Spencer)

TALK TO FITOFPIQUE! She has the other option all planned out. And by the other option, I mean an AU of an AU, ahahahha.

I often want to talk about storied, but then maybe it would ruin the story for people (lol, did you seriously think that there was happy ending for Spencer???) or just be really boring or annoying or whatever. I've done DVD commentaries before, which is actually pretty fun. idk, idk. I guess it's true, though--I really like hearing people talk about stories. It just seems kind of awkward, you know? ahha, as if I'm not already frequently awkward with my "hello, I have all these thoughts and feelings to share."

my maple and i have been looking at photos of brendon this afternoon and just enjoying him so much. so this is nicely timed.

[disarm_d]

Looking at pictures of Brendon is always a good time! :D

[disarm_d]

yeahhhh, I don't really mean in the "what happens next" kind of way. More the meta writing about writing kind of thing, /o\

[disarm_d]

♥ Thanks for the reassurance, bb.

The author is not dead, that is post modernist pap. Ignore it.

[disarm_d]

ahhahaha, okay okay okay.

How far in are you? Because at episode 6, this show starts doing plot like--well, a lot of things happen. I love the show for the way they subvert stereotypes ALL THE TIME, and because the plot moves so fast.

I just finished 1.10. And I've definitely been enjoying it! This is kind of dumb, but after Twilight, WHAT A RELIEF IT IS THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAD SEX!!!!
