(no subject)

I'm over the initial OMG reaction to my sesa assignment. I think it was mostly due to having pairings that I'd never even thought about writing, a word that needs to be included that I didn't even know the meaning of, a writing style that I tend not to write and a total lack of any of the men that I wanted.

Man, reading that list I could freak again, but no, I've actually got some ideas now, I'm feeling pretty confident. I've been looking at the mentor situation but I'd need a bsb one and those seem thin on the ground.

I like the idea of a mentor but I could cope without one. I know I can write, what I need is someone to point out my lousy grammar and the mistakes I make when the story is done. That way I can become a better writer.

No, I've decided I'm going to have fun with this. Yes, the pairings aren't what I'd have picked and the words could be better but what the hell. I'm going to enjoy writing this story!

Imagine me punching at the air now, chanting 'I can do this!' *g*

yep, assignements can be a total bitch, I agree. I was supposed to write a squick fic with Umbridge, Draco and Pansy *shakes head* No.way.

Go you! *Rocky theme starts*

Man, that sounds like a nightmare! I'm not surprised you didn't do it.

Go you! *Rocky theme starts*

LOL, I'll think of that music now while I'm writing ;)

Argh!

I can't do mine.

I mean, I can't do the JC half, which I -=REALLY=- wanted to, but AJ?!? I looked him & a lil bsb up last night, & he's UGLY! Bleah!

OK, not gonna say anymore, just in case my recipient sees this, but I think I'm gonna have to go with the *Nsync pairing, which is NOT JC & would _NOT_ be my first (or 9th) choice...

poop. :(

You're more than capable of writing anything, you know that, and so do I.

I wouldn't say that AJ is ugly, he's got beautiful eyes but I know it's a matter of taste. Plus, writing BSB when you know *nothing* about them mightn't be the best thing.

Not saying specifics either but I know you'll do an awesome story. Because you rock, it's that simple. Write this, then write what you want next time. Like a *long* trickc for my birthday

Not that I'm hinting or anything....

well maybe a little ;)

I have total faith in you.

I won't tell you to write AJ, especially when you totally don't seem to feel the love... but if you are considering it, you might try looking at [personal profile] comm, because Lucy has lots of pics up there, mostly BSB, and AJ is her favourite Boy. If nothing else, you might get a glimpse at what other people see in him.

Good luck!

*sigh*

Thanks, Ter, and thanks to you, too, Kifty.

I fear becoming a BSB fan (no, really! lol) but my male pride has been challenged, in words eerily similar to my sister's when I expressed a writing doubt to her: "You can put anything into words!" So now I'm probably gonna have to write it...

Oh, well. I am determined to have fun with whatever I end up writing, otherwise it's not worth it.

And no teasing, Terri, that's _another_ challenge, and when's ypur birthday? lol

Oops! my link to the community didn't work. I meant to lead you to sparkly_pics. And, I don't want to encourage you to write the AJ story if you aren't comfortable with it, unless you *want* the challenge. I posted the (defective) link to the community *in case* you wanted, not to force you!

Have a good time writing whatever you choose to write, and I look forward to reading it in late December!

LOL, I may have to burn you some BSB CDs and put it into your parcel, help you along that fan route ;)

I really do think you'll do a good job which ever option you decide on, your sister's words are so true. I know you'll have fun too, have can you not chatting and writing about sdbs? *g*

I was only teasing about the trickC, I know how busy you are. But my birthday is in Feb just for the record, but I really don't expect a story.

Good choice for the comm. Lucy has posted some fantastic pictures of the boys.

I think AJ can be deceptive. Sometimes he looks so ordinary, then at others he blows you away. I really think they're a very good looking group. When they're not looking like goobers *g*

Okay, someone link me proper, please please?

Is this the same Lucy you said loves Letterboys, Terri? 'Cause I'll check it out if somebody can point me at it, otherwise I'm afraid I'm gonna have to go with the *Nsync pairing. Which isn't a bad thing, IMHO, I just selfishly wanted to write my fav boybander, Mr. Chasez. And I'm BSB clueless, and don't think I like AJ, but ah well... ..we'll see.

On a better note, Coco gave me some ideas for the Thanksgiving MX fic... *grin*

Okay, let me see what I can do... the person we are referring to is [profile] reggie_mbq, and she is calle Lucy. She has a fic journal, which is [profile] lucy_fic, and she posts pictures, in a community called [profile] sparkly_pics

This is definitely the Lucy who loves Letterboys. I hope my links work this time!

Hi! *waves* (you know, like those know-it-all kids in school, who hope the teacher calls on them?)

If you want a beta, I volunteer!

mememememememe!

I'll get Chris to grab his pencil (see his pencil?) and give me a hand!
ext_1650: (Default)

[identity profile] turps33.livejournal.com 2003-11-11 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
I see you waving *g*

I'd love you to beta, someone else is helping too but I firmly believe the more eyes the better.

But I don't know about Chris helping. I fear he might stab you with that pencil as a joke, then I'd be sitting here burning with jealousy that he's at yours doing my beta. Plus I just bet he'd be changing my story, I'd find changed words and insults about the BSB inserted *g*

Hee, I love that icon, he looks psychotic!

[identity profile] kifty.livejournal.com 2003-11-11 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I won't let Chris look at the story... and if he does come over, I won't tell you, so you won't get jealous! (and the likelihood of him coming over is about -1000000, so don't worry!)

[identity profile] kifty.livejournal.com 2004-01-16 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been looking through old e-mails recently, and found this one... now I want to re-read your story to find out if Chris did in fact insult BSB, or stab anybody with a pencil! hehehe Oh! And I have an mp3 to send you... listening to it now, and I think you'd really get a kick out of it!
