i keep thinking it's friday and keep being annoyed when it's not. altho the supernatural rerun tonight is roadkill, and i liked that one. "oh thank god." "call me dean." also i'm pretty sure my parents invited me over for dinner tonight but i'm not entirely sure, and would like them to call me and give me a clue. well, i can call them too ( Read more... )

i'm not looking for reassurance, and i don't want advice.

*distress face* Well, ok, then skip over the following paragraph. You write what you like and sometimes people like it. I like it. All writing is ultimately self-indulgent and if it makes you feel better, I missed out on a BUNCH of OT4, including the beginning, because I was on my two-month's vacation. and i went back and read it because i liked it an awful lot.

I want you to work on those ideas because they make me squee. I'm trying to comment more these days, I really am. I'm even commenting to strangers who write fanfic I like. :P

*uses that icon you like*

i think i said last night i just don't always know how to handle sympathy and reassurance. it's not that i don't want it, just that i don't want to offend or annoy you with my weirdass response to it. so you can totally leave some reassurance, and i'll read it and appreciate it, and then flail a little because i always get a little weird and embarrassed when people are sympathetic. but thank you, and i really do appreciate it.

also i fully support this leaving of comments on strangers' fic thing. :D

awww, boys. *smish*

is there un-self-indulgent writing? i can't think of another reason, or at least a series of reasons that still pretty much ends in "because i want to." i'm trying to think of writing written entirely for other people reasons and i keep getting stuff like stereo instructions and religious pamphlets and none of those things are much fun to read (altho i get a kick out of collecting interesting religious pamphlets, just because.).

i adore the ot4, and generally, if you write something and i catch it and i'm not about to fall over or i'm going crazy trying to get my own words down, i read it. i still often like your words better than mine. and it would be challenging to explain the situation, wouldn't it? everyone would jump to all sorts of strange conclusions. i got some of that when i was just sharing an apartment with w and w's roommate and his girlfriend. =p

well, there's writing that has a point. even if the point is just to get to a certain event before the story ends. there's a progression, you know? i don't write like that. and yeah, you have to at least like what you write or there's no point in doing it, and it's not that i write for other people so much as it is i write things that i want other people to read. i'm kind of thinking of new people, who might wander in, think "there's too much and it's all a giant in-joke anyway," and wander off.

megan sez: maybe i need a sign - "we're not married, we're not getting married, we're raising francis together, if you have a problem with this then leave me alone, and if you're curious how it works, ask."

she doesn't like to bring it up for that very reason - it IS hard to explain.

"Well, one's my son, and he's five. The other three are - " She stops short of saying "my partners," suddenly realizing that explaining her out-of-the-ordinary personal life and living situation is not something she wants to do right now for two women she just met and one woman she actually kind of likes. "Are my age," she finishes.

This made me smile picturing the look on Megan's face as she catches herself! :P

she's all *chatterchatterOOPS* and then a mental facepalm. i'm not sure where the conversation goes after this - i think one of the women says something along the lines of "your husband and, uh, brothers? they're visiting?"

*offers hugs*

Also, I found half a print out of your nano novel from the first year I really knew you under the bed when I moved it. Sadly, I have no idea what happened to the other half ....
