Yay, it's Thursday, closer to the end of this stupid week. Bringing my gym bag to work so that I can work out these aggressions and stresses with the weights and on the treadmill. GRRRR.
Hm, that ST movie that I downloaded cut off the tops of their heads. It was annoying and I didn't bother to finish watching it. The quality wasn't all that great. I'm sure that it will be on DVD, or that I'll get a better screener copy in a few months. I'm not in a hurry :) Want to see kissy face more clearly. Speaking of kissy face, as much as I love S/U fic, man, the S/U comm is being deluged by fic. As I figured it would be. But, you know, after a while we'll all reach our saturation point and not want to read that shit anymore. I did post my little Mirror fic, which was luke warmly received and I am trying not to take that personally. Once again, I'm standing on the corner with my hat in my hand begging for attention. I do not want to go down that road again. Leaving LJ broke me out of that mold, I don't want to go back. Anyway, it also could be that people weren't familiar with Mirror verse or TOS, and didn't bother to read it. I'm going to start an origin fic with the reboot and see how it goes. Though, I need to do it soon to beat back the masses. So if it doesn't go over well, a lot of fics are receiving more than 50 comments, which is sickening when I can't pull 30. C'mon! Am I just banging my head against a brick wall? Why can't I get that much? My stuff can't be that horrible. Fucking hell... here I go whining again, seeking validation from people I wouldn't look twice at on the street. Bring it down girl, bring it down.

Hi, it's bana05 from eljay. :)
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah, I think everyone's on a movieverse! high that few people want/care about TOS. I read it. I'm not sure if I commented, but I enjoyed it immensely. You went there in your mirror!verse fic that I am not completely comfortable doing yet (which is S/U smex) but I think I'm just liking the slow burn between them in my writing right now that I'm not going there yet. Besides, I'm still getting my feet wet in the fandom (I didn't "join" until last month) so I still have a lot to learn.
And also, I don't think I'm an awful writer, but I'm lucky if I get ten unique people to post up on something I've written. I've just learned to let it be. A lot of people actually just read and don't comment at all, so you never know. But yeah, I honestly think it's movie>tv in terms of S/U shipping right now, so if you're not writing that, you're kind of laying in the cut.
And I agree about the overwhelming amount of (not so great) fic at the comm. Again...just let it ride...
Hey!
ReplyDeleteI did not have my comment notification turned on so I totally missed your comment. I just happened to be scrolling back through some stuff and I saw this. I sorry for taking so long!
I have to admit that I completely love your writing. It's slow and warm and sweet like molasses. I adore it so much and when I see that you've posted something, I always save it so that I can cut out some time to read it fully. it's such a joy.
Me and writing and LJ have a love hate relationship, honestly and I'm really just bringing myself to terms with how I feel about it. And you're right, some read and don't comment, that's the chance you take.
And God yes, there is so much fic at S_U that I can't bring myself to wade through it, as much as I want to support the writers. I just shake my head and kind of move on.
What's up with you?
Writing and editing. :) That's what's up with me at the moment. Thank you so much for your comments! I truly appreciate them. Some days, I'm not as zen about the lack of reviews, but I have a few people who always manage to leave me something, so just knowing someone is reading my little ficlets does me well. :)
ReplyDeleteI hopey ou're feeling better!
