FOLGERCEST. ...do I need to say more? I mean, I will, but still.

[stoney321]

Because girls - lessee, who was into this with me back in the day, DT, K, Sal? THERE WAS FOLGERCEST FOR YULETIDE.

Almost 10K words, A Home For All Seasons. (The tiny dig at Folgers being shit coffee is hilarious to me, btw.) GIRLS. CLICK. Just click. (IT'S DARK. That's all the warning I'll give, okay?)

ION, I have gotten so excited about a new fic that flaming_muse is starting, and if you're not following her and reading every damn thing she writes, then you are not a member of the Glee fandom, I'm just saying.

Also, I wrote a story over the past few days that made me cry and made my husband cry and it's about a homeless man and somehow it's tied in with the Fireman AU I wrote, and I don't know, I've been very, very sick for two weeks? Lol.

I've read a ton of fic today, keeping my promise to The Mr. that I wouldn't do anything strenuous so I can be fully recovered by NYE, and good god, don't people read their stuff out loud? So many misspells, so many weird things (bad characterization, overwrought ridiculousness) and I feel like an asshole to hate on fics that everyone is loving, but they're SO BAD. And it makes me look at people askance. Well, more than usual.

I am drinking wine for my dinner, which I started at 4:45pm CST. Look, it's been a hard holiday season, okay? (Atlas Peak, Cab Sav, delicious as hale.)

OH, LAST THING. If you've done, are doing a Year End Meme thingy with everything you've written, feel free to drop a link here for me and anyone else clicking through. regala_electra posted hers today and I'm in the process of putting everything on my Kindle for late night reading (I'm sure I'm going to love it, I don't even need to sweat that) so if YOU have one, GIMMIE. I'll probably post one because I'm needy this week and want to talk. LOL.

You're excited about my fic? I AM SO OBSESSED WITH AND BOWLED OVER BY YOUR FIC THAT IT IS MY NEW HEADCANON FOR EVERY 'VERSE IN WHICH KURT IS IN NEW YORK.

EVERY. SINGLE. VERSE.

And I am going to pass by without comment the paragraph about some fic out there, because... yeah. BUT FANDOM IS FOR FUN LA LA LA IF PEOPLE HATE GOOD GRAMMAR OR CHARACTERS WHO RESEMBLE WHAT IS ON SCREEN WHO AM I TO JUDGE LA LA LA LA LA?

Should I do a Year End Writing Meme thing? I don't generally do memes, but I did write a lot, so maybe I'd have something to say about it? (Who am I kidding? I always have something to say about my writing. The question is whether I have anything to say about it that I should share in public instead of whinging to you in e-mail.)

I cannot believe you messaged me from FB about the folgercest. Okay, I can actually. You're a riot. I have the story opened in a tab on my laptop. I actually offered to write in that fandom as well as the Jameson commercials. *g*

I might just pass out from happiness. I never have understood Yuletide, but I will now be ever grateful since it provides me with 10,000 of a fandom that Writes. Itself.

I had to stop to make sure I was leaving this comment on LJ and not FB.

[essene.livejournal.com]

Oh Stoney!!!!!! I went and I read and it was so great and wonderful and THEN...

don't you have to warn for shit like that? Not the incest...but the other thing that happens.

But hey! Someone did it! Folger!cest for the win!

[windrider1967.livejournal.com]

Hey honey - no people DON'T read before posting. I can say that i have gotten called out on some punctuation, but when youa re 20+ years out of college and haven't had to write for a living I HOPE it might be understood.

Do we get a SISTER MAN story ????????? YAY !!!

OH - my master list link http://windrider1967.livejournal.com/9850.html

Have a good New Year dear

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

Ack. Chose not to warn...I was left gutted. Didn't expect that. Meep. Very good though.

[punkkitten2113.livejournal.com]

I'm on my phone right now so I will have to check out A Home For All Seasons later (and I WILL), but I HAVE to flail now, not only for a Fireman AU ANYTHING, a new flaming_muse SERIES, not to mention a chance to learn the brand of your liquid dinner....Yum!

And if you want to have a PM convo about said fics......come sit next to me!!

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

Folgercest & me.

Hee. I saw folks discussing the Folgercest fandom in the Yuletide comm this year, and had to refresh my eyes at the wonder that is that commercial. I missed the fic, though! I'm not sure how. I was stuck in the Fs for so, so long (I'm still not done with the fairytales, but I had to MOVE ON.) Anyway, it's gorgeous. Even with the DARKNESS.

The only fic I've ever actually finished and shared has been for Yuletide, and only for the past two years, but once reveals come on Sunday I'd be happy to link you to mine. :)

I am mesmerized by your icon. IT'S THE MIRACLE OF THE WEDDING AT CANA.

Off topic, and I apologize.

Is the last episode of Top Chef Texas going to be recapped on Hey, Don't Judge Me? The Tribute Dinner one from before Christmas? Thanks for allowing the diversion here.

I'll play! My 2012 Fic Round-Up (http://cuspofqueens.dreamwidth.org/245197.html)

I haven't done much this year, I'm totally ashamed. But! I did write 6 Glee fics this year (yay, me!), and two Hawaii Five-0 future!fics. You can find summaries and approximate word counts, along with links on the round-up.

One caveat, I don't write Kurt/Blaine. *G* Most of those 6 fics are either pre-slash, or gen. The last one is an actual pairing. To quote everyone's favorite commercial: try it, you'll like it!

Well, you might. :P

[war-of-ataraxis.livejournal.com]

Argh.

I can't say my writing is perfect, but I can't tell you how many fics I've abandoned mid-paragraph for all of the things you mentioned. If you have typos within the first two sentences, that really doesn't bode well for the rest of your story.

Wandering POVs make me want to stab someone - I don't need this chapter written from both main characters and every uninvolved person that passed through, honestly.

I think it's worse, though, to start reading a story that is so awesome and well written, only for the author to start spewing nonsense (scenes that make no sense, dialog so OOC it hurts, scenes that go nowhere, smut that has nothing to do with anything, a wandering plot, etc) a couple chapters in and having to give up on something you were actually enjoying at first.

Your Mr reads your fic? That's awesome.

[anniemare.livejournal.com]

I don't have anything to add, but your wine icon is mesmerizing!

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

OKAY, first all: I was totally Team Folgercest from the beginning./hipster cred drvsilla EMAILED me yesterday to inform me that there was Yuletide fic about it but omg scared of the warnings from her and now you but I'll totally read it when I have time this weekend.

SECOND: I totally misread your post and conflated reading poorly written fic with my end of the year fic meme AND OH GOD, I THOUGHT I WAS A DECENT WRITER. So I was going to come into your post all, "BUT I DO READ MY FIC OUT LOUD. I print it out and edit it after I've sent it to a beta and I have quality betas, sometimes I made my roommate listen to it when I'm getting ready to post in case there's some clunky phrasing, I'M SO SORRY, MY DYSLEXIA GETS THE BEST OF ME, OH GOD I'M NEVER WRITING AGAIN." But ha, those are two separate comments and now I can only hope my fic doesn't suck when you do read it.

[glitzy09.livejournal.com]

Personally I blame you and flaming_muse for my low tolerance of badly written fanfic. You two have been producing such amazing stuff lately that you've completely spolit me for everything else! PS. I'm friending you so I can follow your fics and other awesomeness :)

[comedyquiche.livejournal.com]

Laura! First of all, feel beter. No more of this sickness. Kick it in the ass and learn it not to mess with a Texan! Next, I apologize that this is not really post-related, but I know you have workeed on independent movies before (LOVED BotH) and my friend has been working onthis film for about 3 years (it would have been done sooner, but he had a distraction in the form of a psycho gf for a while) and it's finally done. I think you'd appreciate it, plus, it is another 18 minutes you get to sit around and not do anything strenuous, thus keeping your promise to the Mister! :) Anyway, I just wanted to offer it up since I have a no good fics or year-end memes to share. Hope you enjoy!

Just in case...

I hope you like them! I haven't written a lot this year, but hopefully will write more, what with the stable living arrangement now!
