Another two chapters of the story I've been mentioning were linked to. I read them both but got so angry at something in one I had to sit and remind myself this was a story and just let it go already.

I was at del.icio.us this morning, and looked myself up, as you do. Then read so many descriptions using sweet and schmoopy. Which reminds me of my SeSa story three years ago, [livejournal.com profile] nopseud was beta reading and she kept sending me files back with remarks about Justin acting like a little girl. Which was actually true and I've tried to stop but the sweetness is obviously seeping in. I'll need to do another story like Tints, no schmoop at all. Just pain and angst and woe.

Thinking of which. I went to bed early last night because it's much cooler up there. I was reading in front of the fan and A Light to Burn All the Empires is now up there with my comfort stories. That and The Wednesday Thing. Stories about Mikey being shot and Chris suffering severe depression, you wouldn't think they would be good comfort stories but they work perfectly for me.

But... it's not schmoopy, it's... domestic. And happy even when it's sad (in a good way). And I've been having a Terri-fic marathon lately.

I guess one person's schmoop is another's happy domestic. Still, I'm not worried because they weren't negative comments. They just show I'm destined to be labelled sweet forever *g*

Yeah, that's very true. And there's worse labels to have.

You know, [livejournal.com profile] vaudevilles used to give me porn challenges to try and push me past my comfort zones. I may have to try that again.

Oh! Oh! Totally off topic, but I was telling Lucy about a Sentinel fic yesterday and you might know the one of which I speak. (She didn't know the Sentinel, though.)

Jim goes to find Blair at the library and Blair's way down in like the underbelly of the library, in the stacks, and he's getting a hand job (I think) from one of the student librarians? It was part of a voyeurism series of unrelated short fics.

Hee! I just went to my mail folders to find the emails about betaing that story and, a) dude, I'm amazed that you never smack me for being so rude when I'm betaing, especially when I'm in a rush, and b) AHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! Goat Justin! I had totally forgotten about writing that.

Write something with "butter my buns" in it! :D

Actually, I think that's a cool idea. And with friends like you and Anna, I know I'm pushing some of my comfort zones with fic ideas lately.

You get a pass for being right though. I know you never say things to be mean, but because they'll make the story read much better.

I'd say at least I've got better since then, but the Panic fic sort of disproves that *g*

It will be my new reality TV series. :D

Everyone's favorite episode will be the one where one of the armadillos gets into the clean-freak's peanut butter.

...

(Why did I instantly think of it as a "Sparkly Boys made to live with armadillos" show?)

[livejournal.com profile] beatpropx once had a list of particularly unattractive phrases he'd read in non-fanfic porn, which lead me to threaten promise that one day I'd work the phrase 'sweaty ballsac' into a story.

TS was my first slash fandom. (And it kills me that 852 Prospect is blocked everywhere I get online these days.)

(I never wrote anything in it, but that's what started drawing me farther and farther away from video game fandoms.)

852 is an amazing archive. I'll always remember posting my very first fic there. It took me hours to push the submit button, and even then it was only because [livejournal.com profile] castalie was there urging me on.

I'm okay, I think. Except for how someone asking how I am probably shouldn't make me want to cry? So, still kind of down. Alive, though.

I know it's wrong but now I'm sorta compelled to ask what it was that made you so angry in the toaster fic? If it's still the toaster story we're talking about, btw, I might be a bit behind on my flist. Though, if it makes you angry all over again, no need to answer that :-)

I was at del.icio.us this morning, and looked myself up, as you do.

I totally do that too *high fives*

Well, I would say that you're occasionally sweet but never schmoopy, at least not in a way that I can see!

Stories about Mikey being shot and Chris suffering severe depression, you wouldn't think they would be good comfort stories but they work perfectly for me.

You are sooooo weird :-)

I never del.icio.us search myself (probably just as well as it tell's me that no one's tagged any of my pop, and the small amount of (old) original is all filed as 'unread' and 'annoying typos'. *sigh*

So Mikey being shot? /follows link in comments/ - I figure that as Wednesday Thing so very works for me, I should give it a try.

Your pop stuff should be tagged because pop_newsletter has an awesome del.icio.us page. Which isn't finished which is why I haven't announced, but I know you're on there.

The Mikey being shot fic is amazing. It's got everything I love and then some. Arsenic is amazing, and that she takes time to discuss stuff with me. I just want to gaze at her adoringly, because I'm just that creepy.
