things I have learned today

[lyssie]

1. I have filled 70 out of 100 pages of my steno book with fic.

2. My boss is leaving.

3. Still hate my job.

4. Posting Torchwood fic is pointless, as no one wants to read it. Ditto for Domino/Jean Grey, and Stargate: Atlantis.
4b. Either that or the quality is so bad, everyone is embarrassed but doesn't want to say so.
4c. The best thing about this is it means I never have to actually finish anything.

5. There are more fans of Admiral "Evil Bitch Who should die and be ignored" Cain than Kara Thrace/Sam Anders.

6. My sister is nearly 8 months pregnant.

7. Eve Myles won a Welsh BAFTA for Torchwood. Go, her.

Depends on the pairing, I'd imagine.

5. There are more fans of Admiral "Evil Bitch Who should die and be ignored" Cain than Kara Thrace/Sam Anders.

seriously, that's just sad.

It was gen.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Which I suppose was my problem right there. If it had been badly-written slash with self-lubricating assholes, I'm sure I would have gotten fawning adoration.

[fahrbotdrusilla]

probably!

I was going to comment on what a bitch it can be to get SGA fic feedback, but, dude, you just found out today your sister was pregnant and she's 8 months along?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Well, no. But I got email from her this morning, and I'm still shocked at the idea that my baby sister is pregnant. And she's almost 8 months along, which means I pretty much suck as a sister, because I haven't talked to her in months.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

also, I'm not particularly awake, but I suspect the reason for lack of feedback is that you don't write tons of boyslash, and despite the fact that fandom readers are largely women, none of them seem to actually want to read about or like female characters.

....there are days I kind of really just want fandom to go away.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Dude. Totally no worries.

[pinkdormouse.livejournal.com]

I had your fic in an open tag to read today, but now the post is locked-down. :-(

Also I was hopeless at commenting, because I kept reading fic offline, but now I'm trying to fix that problem.

[skellingtonjon.livejournal.com]

I agree utterly with point 4. :(

Still haven't seen Torchwood yet, and I don't follow funnybooks so I don't know who Domino is, but I'd totally read your SGA fic. And maybe your Domino/Jean Grey fic if I could figure things out. Did I miss it in your LJ? ::: peruses for links :::

The world? She is a scary place.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

At least someone was honest enough to tell me I can't write.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

It's all right. You were one of the people who commented on my Who and TW fic. Thank you.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

's ok.

*snicker* Occasionally, I think babies would be cute. And then I remember that it's Kara. And we honestly have no idea what Sam thinks of children. (although, if they would show him holding a small child at some point, I'd be grateful)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

No worries. People who haven't seen it/read it are exempt from reading fic about it, anyway.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Men with babies/small children=pretty. Even all of Depeche Mode are pretty when holding babies.

Hah. I wish I trusted Ron to give us a good future-fic episode.

[skellingtonjon.livejournal.com]

Really? That sucks, as I've always found that the stuff you write in fandoms that I know to be really great.

Didn't you, for example, write a Lovecraft/X-Men crossover once, back on OTL, or have I imagined that?

[jacksrubberduck.livejournal.com]

I would BEG on my hands and knees and promise first born children for good SGA fic that isn't all about the McShep or Sparky love.

No really.

I commented earlier today but for some reason my rambles have gone.
Never mind;

Yeah for the fan fic filled notebook.
Double Yeah for your boss leaving but only if they are shite!
All the sane people hate their jobs you have3 company.
Post the Torchwood fiction I might not always comment but I do read hungrily. You don't do bad quality writing (sucking up) and yes you do.
Cain rules = Women want to have her balls and Men want to be her pets!

Congrats on the approaching auntiehood,the small people grab you up and draw you close. (Sad auntie speaking so in love with nephew).
Yay E Myles I didn't know there was a welsh bafta. Goody for her
Something extra to dust.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

....the last three SGA fics I've written? Have had none of that in them.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Nah, that was Rossi, I think.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

If I worked at Rabbit's company, I'd have a blast, because she does. And we're both wierd.

Thank you, but I think the fact that it didn't get a single response kind of proves that it sucks.

[zahdahe.livejournal.com]

You and Rabbit are not weird! You're just very creative and the rest are ploopy poop!
Yay for LYSSIE!!!!

[jacksrubberduck.livejournal.com]

More please?

::attempts to look cute::

::fails miserably::

[skellingtonjon.livejournal.com]

Hmph- still can't quite believe anyone would think your stuff was bad. Even the stuff I don't know the canon of I can immediately recognise as well-written...
