OMFG

The difference a good bra makes in terms of pain.

*clings to her one good bra*

Also. Is finger-crossing time. Had an interview today. May or may not get called back for a second one. And had a thingie through Manpower, which will be at a company I worked at last year about this time (and I liked them, and it's not fucking Roundy's), and it's a job I could do in my sleep.

pleasepleaseplease.

Sounds like it's a project that'll run 3-4 months. *clings to bra*

*feel all warm and happy inside* YES!!!

Shame about the slight issue of practicalities, huh?

True, true.... But such a ... satisfying solution.

*smirk*

*rethinks* Actually, he'd probably find it a turn on. (Ewwwwwwwww - I need brain bleach)

Maybe we could just hook him up with Telkena? Europe's not *that* big, and lots of people manage long distance relationships...

!!

That. THAT is the perfect solution!

Just think - Jaka could stop plaguing various lists with his insane fic requests b/c Telkena could write them for him, and then they could read them to each other in bed!

(I'm enjoying this line of thought *far* too much)

*nodnods* So'm I. This would solve so many problems. and they could have random threesomes, if we ship over random badfic authors like AliMoo

[identity profile] nakedtoes.livejournal.com 2005-05-24 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
and random annoying people like whichever Becky it is

See, I find myself wondering about authors like AliMoo. Is she desperately uneducated? Is she just not that bright? Does she not care about spelling and grammar and characterisation?

Do you vaguely remember me betaing for someone way back and despairing over her writing? After a highly honest beta of her fourth chapter or something (which took me hours, but anyway) she got it all together. Her prose now reads well, and though I still disagree with some of her characterisation (Carter still giggles, sigh) I at least respect the fact that she's improved so much. She must have made a real effort. Whereas AliMoo... I don't know, I find it all puzzling.

I don't know. She could be the next Maria Cline, for all we know.

And, yes. This means I do know authors who know they're writing badly, but continue doing so because, omg, they must tell you their stories!

Actually, Maria, for all her arrogance, did have occasional moments of brilliance. And I'd take her over Telkena and AliMoo anyday.

Maria was once offered the services of a fabulous beta reader, and she turned him down. She was also beta-read by other people and ignored their suggestions. Lord knows we're all happier she escaped comicfanfic for Pokemon...

But of all the sSam-centric stories I don't want to read, Sam having her period has got to be in the top three (after lactation and rape!fic). *stomps foot*

Pokemon fic? Does that extend beyond Pikachu squealing 'Pika Pika!' lots and Ash and Pika bonding? (Oh god, that sounds so wrong). Actually, I have a mini stuffed Pikachu, so I probably shouldn't mock. *laughs*

I don't want to know about Pokemon. At all. I'm sure there's painful things like slash out there, though.

*screams* OMG! Pokemon slash.
