pants to match

So I don't know how exactly I feel about the Tomrad thing, but I'm certainly not mad at Tom for breaking some fanfiction rule or something. You get into this fandom, this stuff might happen, because these are real people - although the characters in my fic are not, which is what always weirds me out about possibly meeting these people in person or going to concerts and stuff, because I have a very distinct separation from, say, the Brendon who's in my head, bouncing around with armfuls of puppies, and the Brendon who's actually a real boy, who I know nothing about.

So, whatever. I don't actually have a point, but I guess my biggest fear is that these people don't realize that. Like, I'm not actually acusing Brendon of being, whatever, in a committed sexual relationship with Spencer or being afraid of zombies masquerading as fangirls or being a Christmas elf in disguise (the fic that never was! SERIOUSLY!). And that's kind of stupid, because I'm hoping (HOPING) that these guys are smarter than that, but you never know. Ryro was pretty defensive about all the implied gay sex at one point, wasn't he?

WHATEVER. I'm not locking down my posts - hell, I hardly ever (if at all? can't remember) place a stupid disclaimer on my fics, so I'm just asking for something bad to happen - and my website is out there clearly marked with keywords and descriptions of exactly what is on the pages, and let's just hope I don't get, like, sued or something. Which would be so lame.

The small heart attack about that Certain Coasts post was totally justified - I mean, wouldn't you get all clammy and nauseous? Doesn't mean I can complain or bitch about it, though. That would also be lame.

Now I have to go off and figure out why the Ancients would have a tween-making machine on a off-world planet - any suggestions?

The best thing about writing fanfiction for me is that I’m constantly getting better. Unless I’m delusional, which, you know, isn’t that farfetched.

I’m currently reorganizing my fiction lists in order of year, and, I can totally be honest about this: if you’re reading anything from my early 2006 stuff all the way back to my 2003 beginnings? I pity you. Heck, even a lot of my later 2006 stuff makes me cringe, and while I think my 2007 stuff is too close to my heart right now, I’m sure next year I’ll look back and be like, eating babies, wot?

Anyway, my point is, the coolest part of being in these constantly evolving fandoms is that I can get better, and you all can tell me that. This feedback, this majorly extensive back and forth, you don’t get that anywhere else – also, hey betas, you’re AWESOME and occasionally UNDERAPPRECIATED, and should be given shiny gold medals with Bob Bryar’s grumpy face on them, or maybe Brendon’s hand giving you this totally cool thumbs-up, or, for you girl-betas out there, maybe a sparkly pin that just says: “If I wasn’t terrified of your zombie, hot-boy-eating ways, I’d totally full-on kiss you, I would! <3’s Bden Urie” - ( and I seriously wish the internet had been more prevalent when I was in high school )
