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.

OF COURSE I AM EXCITED, I love the little peeks into your astounding fic. We're good enough friends that it's not gross when I fawn all over you, right?

...right? <3

Yes, yes, it's for fun, but sometimes I'm just baffled when I see people sobbing and wailing over something where I'm just... really? THAT STORY? The one where I barked out a laugh because I couldn't believe the crazy 180 from character it took? I AM AWFUL, I FULLY ADMIT THIS.

Ooooooh, I do think you should do a year in fic meme!! If only to have it all categorized (and then you could talk about each one, and I can sit all chin-fists about it and tell you what I loved about each one, and why are you fighting this?? Hahaha.)

What's a little fawning among friends? It's awesome, that's what it is!

I know, I know, I feel the same way about sics, but I have to be zen about it otherwise I get sad when something I worked on really hard to be as in character and canonical as possible gets like thirty comments while somebody's... god, I can't even use Kurt as a mermaid as my made-up example now, can I, because there is one? Anyway, somebody else who writes a fic with next to nothing to do with the characters as I see them gets a million sobbing comments of adoration. It's too utterly discouraging for me, so I must be zen. Fandom is fun, and if people are happy then I truly am happy they're happy. Even if I'd rather everybody wanted to have fun the way I want to!

Oh, god, you want me to write comments about every fic I wrote? I wrote a lot of fic this year. I... fine, I could totally do that, because I'm so self-absorbed about my writing, but would that be in any way interesting to other people? Gah, I don't know.

And it's all categorized on the AO3. That's the POINT of the AO3.

But I never GO to the A03! I am lazy. I'm sure you'll school me in NYC as to why I should cut that out.

I just love talking about your stories, as my inbox will testify. JUST DO IT FOR ME! Or I'll write you a story where Kurt sobs into buckets of ice cream, bemoaning his MASSIVE HUGE LADY HIPS as Blaine climbs on a step ladder in Lollipop Guild clothing just to kiss his face as Burt looks on, proud of their boners and thinking it's WONDERFUL.

*I died a little just now, I hope you know.*

This comment hurts me in so many ways. IT HURTS ME IN EVERY WAY. EVERY LINE.

Except maybe the last one, BECAUSE YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED A LITTLE. YES, YOU SHOULD.
