For all you ficcers out there...

Feb 06, 2007 13:51

Here's an article from Reason Magazine on the Fan Fiction Phenomena for all you ficcers out there.

And even though I don't do it much anymore. I will occasionally write/continue parts of my old Roswell fics for my own fun and amusement. Here's a section of Serenity that I wrote the other day as a gift to a friend.

( Serenity )

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth - especially as the gift was not for me specifically (and why is that, btw?) - but you stopped there? YOU STOPPED THERE?!?! Geez...

Love,
Q

Because, my dearest Q, you could never pick just one story and I have to be in the mood to play with the characters. Serenity is the one I can slip back into the easiest, and I may very well have plagarized myself for the above part (it's been along time since I've read over that).

And as to why I stopped there, well blame all the cliff-hanger training that Tammi and Courtney gave me over the years. Their evilness is pervasive.

COURTNEY?! Tammi is the CliffieQueen, supreme wielder of the Cliffhanger of Doom! How did I get dragged into this?!

Serenity, how I have missed you...

(Oh yeah, btw, new LJ. Heh.)

I seem to remember this story that had a chapter that ended with a gunshot or some bleeding from the stomach...

And then a really, really long delay between that chapter and the next.

Sometimes it is not the amount of cliffies that make you a cliffie queen but the severity of the cliffies you do provide.

Nice new LJ, by the way.

And your friend was quite grateful. Glad to see you posted it where the rest of the world can enjoy it!

Wasn't going to, but I figured I needed proof that I do write something...occasionally.

By the way, where did you get your typewriter Icon and how can I steal it.

I snagged it from an LJ user named feathered. It's free for the taking with credit.

Didja get my officially written email? Edit it as you will.

I did and it is going up tomorrow. I also have a bunch of books that my mom wants to donate as well as from my brother's roommate, so I'll be sending off my own package this week or next.

Ah Serenity, how I've missed thee! But I'm so glad to be able to read this part that I'm not even going to mention the incredibly cruel and evil cliffie you threw in at the end. Nope, not going to mention it at all.

As for my supposed Cliffie Queen title, I deny it. Yes, I tend to favor open endings in chapters. But I deny all knowledge of using those evil torture devices known as cliffhangers.
