turpsA few days ago I got a comment on one of my stories at AO3 saying did I know it had been posted in its entirety at Wattpad? And no, no I did not. I went for a look and eventually found that yeah, it had been posted there. It does credit me at AO3, but doesn't actually link, so if anyone did want to leave kudos or comment they'd have to look me/the story up. If I'm being nice, I'm telling myself, maybe they think it's like tumblr where it's okay to reblog with credit, but mostly I'm thinking, who does that?!
In the last few days I've been to see Christopher Robin, which I loved loads. Swimming With Men, which was a Silver Screen production, and therefore technically for the older cinema goer. They tend to be older films from a few months back, but despite going to the cinema regularly I'd never heard of that one. We enjoyed it, but it was just weird it seemed to come from nowhere. Plus, man, some people get very annoying in their entitlement to get their free coffee or tea, and the free biscuits were wiped out three times just as we were waiting. Lastly we saw The Equaliser Two, and all I can say about that is, it ended. That was good.
I hung out at Kayleigh's yesterday as mam's cat needed to go to the vets. We've got a shared custody thing going on. I pay for Megan's insurance, Kayleigh for her food etc, and it all tends to even out in the end. Though yesterday she needed a new insurance claim starting so we went halves on the initial excess.
All the autumn tv shows are starting. Australian Masterchef starts next week, celeb Masterchef has already started -- and man, Gregg is still a gurning idiot, and of course new Bake Off soon. I've also new Killjoys to watch as it's just started here again, which is most excellent.
There's hints of autumn in the air which is nice. I enjoyed the hot sunny summer, but after mam went it felt wrong. My summer ended in the last week of June, really. So this potential weather change is welcome. A few weeks ago I bought a fire pit for the garden, with the intent to burn some old paperwork that needs destroying. I'm thinking I may do that soon, as I like the idea of sitting next to the fire in my rocking chair as the weather cools. Of course I'll probably have stinging eyes from the smoke and get too cold, but the idea seems nice.

Date: 2018-08-25 04:11 pm (UTC)I mean, it's one thing to post a rec with links and credit. It's a whole 'nother thing to repost it with a "oh, yeah, this is by so-and-so".
>:(
Good luck with the fire pit. It sounds like a lovely idea.
ETA: I skimmed through the claims for Marvel Bang and counted 3 Clint/Bucky fics. So, there you are!

Date: 2018-08-25 05:04 pm (UTC)Recs are fantastic things, but to repost is a totally different thing, even with that credit. I know fandom moves on all the time, but I still think that's one line that most people don't cross.
I was going to try the fire pit tonight but it's started to rain. So, more waiting.
Ah, thanks for that. I've burned my way through the most popular recced Clint/Bucky authors and am now trawling through the tag at AO3, and the kink meme. That's led to some gems, and some I back buttoned like whoa! Knowing some long fic is coming makes me happy.

Thanks again for keeping me in the loop. It's appreciated, wading into such a big fandom is a little daunting.
