too much Yuletide

Dec 28, 2010 23:30

I read through almost all of the Yuletide and Yuletide Madness fics I've been meaning to read. It took me a long time, and I had so many tabs open. I also left as many comments as I could even though I was far from profound in all of them. The series near the end of the alphabet got the short end because my comments got shorter and shorter, and I ( Read more... )

*wide-eyed and innocent blink* Haha, guess I gave myself away a bit by talking about my summaries! XD And my titles? How did the titles suggest they were written by me? *is curious*

:D *goes off to read the last two recs*

Eeee! Amnesia and maybe!psychic! *goes off to find* O___o That seems like a lot of views, just for three chapters. Wow.

Haha, I need an icon of a character with one eyebrow raised in reply to your "innocent" blink. =P ( ... )

And how can you have too much Yuletide?! XDD

XD Maybe I should make an 'innocent' icon. Toothless would do, but when I tried to screencap him, I found out his head's too big in a whole lotta scenes so when I downsized, it got blurry. :(

...Wow. That's an amazing deduction. *is in awe*

I'm finding doing summaries a lot easier now, now that I'm taking lines from the fic instead. Though, that didn't happen with Preparation, but the summary came first and I was not changing that! XDD

*looks at my fic list* Yeeeah, the most I've been using for my titles semi-recently is three words, and that was last year/near the start of the year. XDD Well, okay, there's Step by Little Step, but that's a looong one. Maybe most of my titles reflect partially on how long the fic is? XDD

Ooooh, I really don't think I'd be able to write such a long title! XD

Eeeeeee! I am grinning so much because of this paragraph. Seriously. :DD

Yeeeep. I adored the YYH one.

Eeeeee!

Because! First it was non-stop writing. Now it's non-stop reading. XD But I think I'm mostly done reading for now, though I did mark some stories to read later, like one fic that's over 20k long. (Just, wow)

I have icons with wandering and blinking eyes, but they look more clueless or nervous than innocent. XD Toothless would be so cute! *flails* But aw, he got too blurry?

Your titles do have a trend. *g* I wonder if mine do too? Some of my fics are for theme challenges though, so for those I just grab the title from the themes. I guess they're not very indicative of my own naming sense, and I don't think I have enough different fics for there to be trends (hm, though I do seem to name a lot of my drabbles with one word titles). I definitely don't have any fancy titles with parentheses and lyrics like some writers. XD;

The summary for Preparation is so funny. XD

I've seen titles with 5 things so-and-so did a lot, but this is the first time I've come across a lot of titles with parentheses. Is this new, or have I not been reading ( ... )

This is probably a little bit stalkerish, but the Yuletide authors went live and I just wanted to thank you for your awesome Yoroshiku Master fic (and for pinch hitting it as well!). It was a fabulous piece, and was a wonderful treat to stay up for!

Hey there! I have been uh, checking your LJ a lot lately, so I'm pretty stalkerish too? :'D I saw your prompts go out for pinch hitting twice and was sad I missed it the first time (I saved the email), so when I saw it a second time, I went... huh?? It's back?? I jumped all over it and was super happy I managed to claim it. <3 Getting the chance to write Rihito was really awesome, especially since I've always wanted to see fic about Rihito and Daisuke (but always thought it was too obscure a series to ever see fic for it!). Thank you so much for requesting Yoroshiku Master! ^__^

I also wanted to write something with your other prompts, but I only read the first series of Toukaido Hisame and haven't started the other two. I'm was so tempted to read through Toukaido Hisame the night before the deadline. XDD I really want to start the other two too!

Er anyway, I'm so glad you enjoyed the fic! :)

Mutual stalkerism is perfectly acceptable and should be encouraged, so we're both in the clear!

*laughs* Yeah, when I saw my prompts turn up on the pinch hitter list for the second time I just had to laugh. Well, that and desperately hope the list hadn't run out of people who could write something from my claim list! As a result, I really, really wasn't expecting much and was rather flabbergasted that you managed to pull something together so quickly!

And on a similar note, thank YOU for requesting fandom as well (and for sharing a similar brain when it comes to this series!), I actually started a treat for you based on your letter but didn't manage to finish it before the deadline, but it should hopefully be up in a couple of days as a NYR treat =).

I really recommend reading on with Toukaido Hisame, although I am a ridiculously bias fangirl who has a habit of trying to corrupt random people into picking up the series. It's just one of those series (a lot like Yoroshiku Master) that I just adore.

Awesomeness, hehe.

I don't think the pinch hit list has ever run out of people who could write something, but it's always something I'm afraid of too!

Ooo, a treat. :) I'd love to see it when you finish. I've always liked Yoroshiku Master (because it's by Tsukuba Sakura), but when Rihito came into the picture... it made me like the series a whole lot more. ^__^ I'm really happy to be able to flail about this series with someone!

I will have to pick it up someday. I've been wanting to, since Bliss scanlates it. :)
