RL sucks

[kowaiyoukai]

Well, it does though! And it keeps me away from the internet for long periods of time. I do not appreciate that. AT ALL. I will eventually write a post about RL drama, but in the meantime, know that I am very angry at reality and have decided to smite it down with wrathful anger. And also slash.

I got a formspring account! It's here: http://formspring.me/kowaiyoukai. So hopefully that won't blow up in my face. I need to check twitter and facebook and myspace, but see, I just kind of don't care enough to do it. Meh. Whatever.

Re: fics! I'm working on them. WHAT?! Well, I am. I'm actually working on TOO many fics at the moment. Also vids. And a fanmix. I SUCK OKAY. I JUST SUCK. THAT'S ALL.

REQUEST! I'm looking for the McShep vid "Jolene". It was recced to me but I can't find a dl of it anywhere. Anybody know where I can get it? Pretty please with Sheppard on top? XD

RE: APOGEE. Okay, look. I've got a lot more written, but I've made an executive decision. I'm going to wait until I finish (or am very nearly finished with) the first part before I put it up. Then I can update frequently and there'll be less stress for everyone involved. So if you've got any good reasons why this is a bad idea, say them now. :P

I'm working on my original novel, too. I've decided a few things about it that will probably mean it's impossible to get published, but FUCK IT. It's my novel and I'll do what I please with it.

Also, I really think it stinks that we don't have more good subtexty gay couples. I mean really now. I think Due South spoiled me rotten. D:

I'm also looking for fic recs for good stories for FrayK, McShep, Hotson, and Spork! Feel free to send links or rec lists my way if you've got them readily available.

I'm off to catch the train to work. TTYL, flist!! ILU ALL!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

P.S. I meant it about the Apogee thing. If anybody has a better idea than posting it when it's all finished, let me know. Since it looks like posting it as it's written isn't doing so great. STUPID NOT HAVING THE INTERNET AT MY HOUSE. *headdesk*

Well, when I gave some parts of this one novel series to my grad classes, they tended to be either really ignorant about the gay characters (one girl was confused about why a guy hit on both a guy and a girl in the same section), or else they thought I should, like, tone it down or warn for it or something. IDK.

It's not neccesarily that I've been in fandom too long--although that's TOTALLY TRUE--it's just that I think a lot of people have these really low expectations. Like, you know, if it's not a teen romance with vampires, who careS? That kind of thing.

I do think it's our job as awesome people to bring in a new era of writing. Like, if we don't do it, who will? But I also think making money is important, SADLY, and I'm very unconvinced that anything I write is going to make it well enough for me to live off of it. *le sigh*

I also think that getting published is next to impossible, so right now I'm just working on writing whatever comes to mind. Maybe once the economy gets better, I'll try to send stuff around. For right now, I think I just want to focus on finishing what I've got and then seeing where it takes me.

Good luck with your novels! Definitely let me know if you get anything published. XD
