nnnng. at least it's Thursday.

I dreamt my roommates and I were trying to join some elite writers' workshop and the dude in charge was Very Nervous about letting us in and told us his fellow (male) writers had told him to tell us to "go back to your fanfiction and RP crap, you hacks."

Which, ok. Fair. They RP. I write fanfiction.

The problem is, I don't know where this dream came from. None of us wants to join some writers' workshop, and if we did, we'd never be all nervous OR upset that some dude told us we couldn't.

I can make guesses, though. Some of you were babbling on about Jim Butcher yesterday (which, if your intention is to make me never ever ever pick up one of his books, you are doing a fabulous job making a go of that--to be fair, it's not your fault that I'm pretty sure he was that annoyingly whiny dude who wrote teal deer meta about how Anita having sex Betrayed Her Principles back in my LKH list days of '99. And if I hadn't gone through several yahoo mail purges since then, I might still have the emails to prove it), and the rumors about how he got his start.

Two, [livejournal.com profile] palmetto has been all world-building fiend at me the last week or so. It had to get bounced back through my dreams at some point.

In other news, I am officially sick and tired of: soup, pasta, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, and ramen.

There was a spoilery Anders secret on [livejournal.com profile] fandomsecrets yesterday (spoilery for the episode before last, at least). There was a pointless "Anders is boring" one a few days ago, which made me laugh. Dude, you are two years too late to catch the wave of popularity on that one.

I would like to thank the rabid Kara/Lee shippers for being so loud about their latest pet theory in regards to Sam: it's produced some really hot porn.

o_O

This has been the week for weird dreams. Almost every person that I know had an odd or disturbing dream in the last four days.

The weather? Something odd in the air? I can't decide, sadly.

And yet, sadly, there is no link. *sigh*

It is hard to link to half-finished fic, you know (and <lj user=palmetto claims it's hot. So ymmv, obvsly). And I've been juggling it and at least two other things the last three days. *cries* Not enough hours in the day!

Also, WHERE IS THE THEORY!PORN?

which, if your intention is to make me never ever ever pick up one of his books, you are doing a fabulous job making a go of that

*snicker* Can't speak for anyone else, but my intention was just to jabber with other commenters. I figured your decision is already made, and it makes little nevermind to me one way or another. It's not like there's a shortage of books to read. Never have quite understood the "No! You MUST read this person! Even if you didn't like them, you WILL! I swear!" impulse.

As for the dream, I wonder how much of it is the general OMG Dramatic Culture Clash between literary SF fandom and media fandom that's been getting all kinds of tangential meta as a side effect of the RaceFail 'splosion. Not that I don't think it's almost entirely bogus, personally, but it has been rather annoyingly everywhere. Mayhaps it infected your subconscious.

I think your theory on the DCC is possible, except that I've really been ignoring that whole thing (writing takes precedence to thinky meta things which make me cranky). Possibly, I am psychic! ;]

Spoilery Anders secret is slightly backdated lol But nice to know that he'll be missed. -snuggles Anders-

IT IS UNFINISHED. No links until then (also, as mentioned above, hotness may vary, I'm just basing it on the mental images in my head and [livejournal.com profile] palmetto's word for four paragraphs I spammed at her).

FS lags, at times, depending on how fast you catch the current submission post.

Oh my GOD, I completely forgot about that whole thing with Jim Butcher, which I only vaguely knew about anyway. I thought Butcher got his start because of LKH's encouragement or something? I could have this totally wrong. I heard vague rumblings about how Butcher went off on something to do with Anita, but never knew the specifics. Anyway, I'm very sorry for going on about the Dresden books at you; I didn't realize that he was a prick in real life. Sadly, that sometimes really affects my enjoyment an artist's/writer's work (prickitude, I mean).

I just lost respect for him because he hasn't done an iota of research on the city he's basing his books in.

WAL. MART. IN. CHICAGO.

Fail, Butcher. Fail on epic levels.

Just. Google was AROUND in 2000. I know because I looked stuff up! It takes a, roughly, 45 second Google search to find out if WalMart exists in Chicago. If not? Make something up! ARG. ARG!!!

Chicago has one, and that was only built like.. um... 3/4 years ago and under great, great, GREAT pressure and work by Wal-Mart. Or are you kidding? Man, I'm bad at guessing...

I'm not actually sure which is right. But until someone posts emails from those months in '99, I shall believe it (and it's not that he was an ass. It was just whiny and teal deer, and, seriously, BOOK HARRY IS ANITA WITH A PENIS).

Er, also, I like girls? And, sometimes, I miss being uncritical. (it's hard to appreciate Anne McCaffrey these days, too. Except Killashandra Ree who will CUT A BITCH if they steal her crystal claim)

porn? *perks ears*

also, (and way unrelated to anything else) I wondering what you use to rip mp3's off avi's? I could use something to listen to during my new workout regime.

YAH. Am trying to finish.

*checks* I use AoA Audio Extractor--however, if you're BSG-inclined, I have large swathes as mp3s, I've just been lax about getting round to uploading for everyone's listening pleasure.

I have yet to test it on dvds. hrm.

[identity profile] lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com 2009-02-20 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
cool. thanks. and if you feel like upping older stuff, that'd be cool. I'm going to rip no exit, since I need it for fic, anyhoo.

oh, man, I think I know what this porn project is, on second thought, don't I? eek.

I've got BotS around here somewhere, if you need it?

And, yes, you possibly do.

[identity profile] lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com 2009-02-20 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
don't need it, but if you have it around, I'll snag it. no rush.

I was reminded by today's entertainment of my own freak out last week. THAT porn? The one reminiscent of the one you wrote with Sam, um, last year, not with Kara? vague cat is vague
