little thought: a party in fishtown.

If you have me networked on del.icio.us, I apologize for the recent (and probably ongoing) slew of bookmarks. I hit a mid-week cranky period, and applied fanfiction as directed.

that was really lovely, as a piece of description. I feel like I can smell the bus exhaust. And I kind of want to accidentally-on-purpose spill some beer on your heckler.

[sinsense]

Thank you - it was a descriptive sort of night, all those half-odd things happening right in a row. And the heckler, well, everyone was drunk and foolish at that point, let me say, and he's a bit too pretty to be very interesting, y'know? Yeah.

[rufus]

he's a bit too pretty to be very interesting, y'know?

ugh, yes, I do, and that's my very least favorite flavor of pretty.

I enjoyed the slew of new bookmarks, actually! There were some things I hadn't seen before.

[sinsense]

I've been having a fun time discovering stuff through my "toread" folder. Lucky for me, anyway, since I have over six hundred stories there. Yeep. :D Glad it isn't entirely unwelcome.

[thesamefire]

I also really enjoy/appreciate the descriptions you put for the stories, and I often find myself comparing what you (state that you) get out of them to what I get out of them. Sometimes there's quite a disparity, but then again, only one of us analyzes texts full-time.

[sinsense]

I do that largely because I find myself wanting descriptions of the stories more than quotations from them -- I want to know what I'm getting into when I click on a link, particularly because I sometimes am in a mood where I can't handle crackfic/angst/mpreg/whatever.

And I think the analysis thing is less salient than you might think. This is why I wish del.icio.us would put a comment option on the recs, since I would love to hear what other people got out of the same stories as me; I think sometimes I don't quite "get" stories, and I wish I could have people school me on them.

I'm kind of secretly obsessed with del.icio.us, though. Trufax.

dude i am ALL ABOUT your slew of bookmarks. feel free to repeat as necessary!

[sinsense]

I imagine it's going to keep going in Rome, and definitely after I get back. I was worried I was burning out on reading fic during the school semester, but I think that was just the combination of all the reading I was doing with the intensity of fannish production. I'm glad the onrush wasn't unwelcome, anyway!

They cage in the cars.

♥ ♥ ♥ this was so excellent. i love the descriptiveness, and the time-shiftiness.

[sinsense]

Thank you - that was my favorite bit as well, hah. ♥

So, the someone in particular probably deserves being punched in the head, but I'm glad you wrote this instead because it's lovely and the descriptions just jump off the page.

[sinsense]

Ehhhhh. I suspect that I am overreacting, unfortunately -- I wish I were always justified in my punching desires -- but I do agree that writing something thoughtful is probably the better avenue. If only because there's a chance that other people will enjoy it. Thank you.
