You know, I don't get this whole 'kink meme' and 'king bingo' thing at all, just like I don't get challenges, exchanges, contrelamontre, fests, ficathons ... most of what I think of as the "apparatus" of fandom. IMHO these are not generally things that produce good fiction. (I know there are always exceptions, but I'm speaking from years of experience here
( ... )
The only kind of 'challenge' I ever try is offering birthday fics for a few old friends or sometimes offering Mathom drabbles when it's my own birthday. Other than these, I don't really get the whole idea of rigid deadlines or certain parameters.
Usually when I start writing a short fic, I know at least where it's going. When it's a longer one, it usually starts by following a certain road and then takes a turn somewhere along the way. So it would make ticking all the boxes in the prompt kind of pretentious.
Oo! Grabs your idea and runs with it! They should name the twins Harriet and Monty!1!

You know, I never realized how annoying High School AUs are until I bumped into them in these recent fandoms (being BBC's Sherlock and Inception). First of all, High School? And secondly... no. Just no

I really love the way he's shaped! Both back then and now...
I noticed! *happy* Thank you. (though I suspect there are some dark sinister motivations behind this gift! admit it! you just want me to be even more obsessed with him!)
So basically you need to throw away the crap magnet badge and replace it with a total elitist?
I've been whining about the lack of kink in Merlin kink meme; there are some kink fics every now and then but mostly it's degenerated into a prompt community. Which is irritating, as you well know.
I'm also curious to know who has been a condescending bastard?
Or at least get a shirt saying 'An Elitist Crap Magnet'. :)
I just don't get it why it can't be a prompt meme or bunnies for adoption. Why do they call it a kink meme if it has nothing to do with kink. Unless it's considered kink to read certain kinda style of fics, like those bathing fics.
You mean aside from you of course, right? *sticks out her tongue*
Oh shut up already. I'm willing to listen half-heartedly you ranting about discovering yet another crap wheel invented by Enthusiastic But Dumb Newbies, but only for so long until it's in one ear and out of the other; oh look, coffee!
Methinks the EBDN don't know the meaning of the word kink?
Hahahaha! When have you ever seen me shut up? Or heard. :X But it's lovely to see you not falling asleep when I rant! Much appreciated.
Also, we need some pastry with the coffee.
I think the problem isn't so much that EBDN don't know the meaning. It's more like they don't care. I can deal with lots of attitudes in fandom, but the LOL whatevs must be the worst ever.
I actually think that Sherlock would want to be close. ..in his own, weird way. He'd just never 'cuddle' as such. Just the word would be offensive to him.

Hey, he's just chubby, not pregnant. (Mind you, that's one way to muck up the succession!)
There's a little something for you over on my LJ ...
