Spread the Love

[ratherastory]

First meme of the LJ!

Nicked from wave_obscura and roque_clasique:

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I think you're spectacular. Then repost this [if you like] and spread the love.


Since I'm still pretty new around here, the love will likely be mostly about eiter how awesome your fic is or how nice your comments are, but I figure it can't hurt, right? :D

Hi! Sound like fun! I'll have to figure out how to post this myself! Want to give the love, not just(hopefully) get it!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I love your icon, for starters. It caught my eye when I was first getting into fandom, because it feels all otherworldly and bubbly (for lack of a better word) and it makes me smile every time I see it.

I love that you and I picked the same prompt and that you wrote a completely different and brilliant fic with it.

I loved Glow because you used "incandescent" and made it a double-entendre (plus, it was a smoking hot fic).

I also love that you leave lovely and detailed feedback on fiction: so few people do that. :)

[wave-obscura.livejournal.com]

My turn!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, hello!

I've been reading your stuff all unknowing since I first started tentatively poking around on ff.net.

Your writing makes me hurt in all sorts of good ways. It's raw and powerful and very very real, and there are times when I actually had to walk away from my computer while reading "Because of Houdini" and do something else for a while.

I'm super excited about the fact that you're participating in BigBang this year for the first time! I dunno why, but I kind of feel like that makes us partners in crime, which is awesome. I'm in such good company! :D

I love my icon too. The awesome and talented loolookitty makes incredible icons and gifts them to her flist of which I am happy to be a member. I also liked that we both wrote deaf!Dean. I've said it before, but when I read the awesomeness that was your story I almost didn't post,but I'm really glad I did. I'm proud to be in such good company. And you liked Glow? Yay, that's one of my favorites. It let me know that I could write more than abusive non con fics and that lightness and humor were in fact possible. And I leave detailed feedback on stories that deserve it. If a fic leave me with a lot to say about it I'm going to make sure I say it. The author deserves to know how great they are. So few people leave any feedback at all, that I feel that I need to make up for that a little bit. And I can't make this meme post go public for me, so I'm going to say that I love how smart your fics are. I love that you write gen. I love that you turned Sam into a dog. Ever since Ice and Eggnog I've loved everything you've written.

And I just realized this post made it out there just fine. I'm just not going to see it on my own friends page because I'm not on it. Sigh. It's been a long day.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Aww, you're adorable! I was about to go comment on your post, but now I don't have to! Whee!

*hugs*

It has been a long day, and it's Sunday. What's up with that?

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

Work's been a beast today and a little cheer goes a long way. So, I'll play!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

You!

There are no words for your awesomeness. :D

You give fabulous, fabulous prompts. They make me want to write forever. :D

You're witty and your posts about work make me smile (even though it's probably frustrating as all hell for you).

You mentioned Emily Dickinson, which means you automatically win the internet.

You and I seem to think in eerily similar ways when it comes to the show, and it's making beta-ing your gorgeous fic a really fun time. :)

[bellatemple]

Oh hell, why not?

Even though we haven't been LJ friends for that long.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Okay, I don't know you super well, but I love your comments, and I've been getting a kick out of reading your LJ: you definitely win for your letter to yourself about Italo Calvino: much love for that.

You're witty and fun, and have a nifty username, too!

In short, it's a promising start and I'm really looking forward to getting to know you. :)

[bellatemple]

I look forward to getting to know you, too! (And I'm glad you liked the Italo Calvino letter -- there'll be more posts along those lines in the coming months, assuming that my posting follows the same patterns it has the last two years of writing big bangs.)

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

Awww. :) I love that you love the prompts and I adore what you do with them. Those two 5x04 fics that you wrote were amazing. Sure, reading them was a little like having my heart wrung out like a dishrag, but just amazing. As for Em - which I just realized I spelled wrong in my post (oy), that goes all to roque_clasqiue for posting the prompt to begin with. I'm really glad that you're actually enjoying beta-ing the fic vs. cringing in horror. PHEW!

[primrose-1.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'm in.

[essenceofmeanin.livejournal.com]

hey! we're kind of new friends, but i love love and figure the more the better, so can i get in on this?

[animotus.livejournal.com]

Ohhh HAI!!!:D

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Well, first off, you're a gamer and you totally know what I'm talking about when I spout random geekery about RPGs. So that's an automatic win with you.

I loved-loved-loved your response to Roque's Deaf!Dean prompt: it was subtle and nuanced and a little bittersweet. :)

Your icon makes me smile every time I see it.

I also get all giddy when I see that you've posted on one of my entries.

So, yeah. We haven't known each other long, but I look forward to remedying that.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

New friends, FTW!

There are no words for how much I love your writing. I want to bask in it like a dog rolling in the grass —I'm not kidding.

You have a spectacular talent for weaving words together in a skillful and seemingly effortless way. Reading your fic is deceptive: it seems easy, right until one realizes just how damned hard it hits.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Aww, you! Would it be creepy to say I adore you right off the bat? Okay, maybe a little bit. ;)

You have a beautiful, beautiful name (I think we already chatted about it's Latin derivation, right?). That's not all I love about you, but it's still important.

When I first "friended" you I went back and read a bunch of your entries, and love your picspam posts.

Actually, you have a talent for doing things with visual media that makes me both filled with awe and really, really jealous. I am hopelessly left-brained, can't do visual things to save my life. Your images seem so tactile that I have to stop myself from trying to touch my computer screen to see what they feel like.

Also, you're funny as hell. :)

[animotus.livejournal.com]

Oh no,not creepy at all!:D

You have a beautiful name too and THANK YOU!I like the idea of my graphics being tactile,but my fav compliment is that you think I'm funny!:P
Funny is so important in everyone's life,right?;D

[primrose-1.livejournal.com]

*grin* Thank you! Hey, we gamers speak our own language, so it's always nice when you find someone who understands you!

Thank you also for liking my story. I'm shy about my writing. Which is silly because I'm not a shy person!

My icon. It's one of my storytelling head shots. I am completely clueless about graphics and icons and how to make them and how to get them and stuff, so you get to look at...me!

Either way, I'm glad to be on your friend's list here. I love your writing, and think you're pretty cool too! Here's to new friends!

[roque-clasique.livejournal.com]

I'm late, but I WANT. Want?

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

God, where do I start?

I think we've been LJ friends for less than two months, but even after so short a time I think you might possibly be the best thing since sliced bread. :)

Thank goodness you asked for this *after* you posted your poem, or I couldn't go on and on about how beautiful your sestina was: all sharp corners and soft fabric.

Your writing is painful and real and beautiful and addictive: you have a sense of imagery and pacing that are incredibly rare even in this huge fandom of good-to-great writers. (You're working on "Direct Eyes" right? Right?)

I came to your LJ for the fiction, and stayed for the person. You are funny as all hell, and strike me as being sweet and impulsive and scary, scary-smart.

I love reading about you, about your family (that recording of your grandmother just about made me rupture something, I laughed so hard), and even though it seems like you might be having a tough time these days, you're resilient and have a fantastic sense of humour about the whole process.

Also, you've made me very curious about trying sriracha (I hope I spelled that right), after your infamous tortilla sandwich post. :)
