In which ratherastory is an emo princess

[ratherastory]

Got felled by illness yesterday, got no writing done. The problem with feeling sick and not being able to concentrate but not being able to sleep, either, is that it allows one to obsess unhealthily over BigBang.

So I'm still waiting for someone to pick my prompt, although that's not looking likely at this point. There are 30 gen stories, and only twenty got picked by an artist. I am trying not to feel put-upon because of this (otherwise lovely, I'm sure) girl who basically ensured that no one would pick my summary.

As you can tell, it's not working. ratherastory is an emo princess and apparently I just CANNOT be a grown-up about this. I'm not proud. *points to icon* Seriously, I could not be more like a six-year-old having a tantrum. WTF is wrong with me?

Anyway, I'm feeling marginally better today, health-wise. Enough that I'm probably going to be able to get more writing done. Am trying to figure out the malaria!fic, but it's resisting all my attempts to make it work. Feh. Maybe "Roses in December" is a better bet. Or anything else on my stupidly long List of Uncompleted Fics.

*claps her hands and sends the PYT to your side*

I've always thought so. Fainting couches are essential when involved in fandom I think...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

*basks*

Absolutely. Where else would one recline dramatically?

[sweetsyren.livejournal.com]

Indeed. And there just seems to be so much call for dramatic reclining lately.

Honestly i'm considering opening a chaise online store.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

If you'd opened it six months ago, you would have made a killing. Alas, we've only got two weeks left before summer hiatus.

[sweetsyren.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh...then you're obviously not in the Doctor Who fandom. Plenty of dramatic fainting going on over there...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

No, never watched Dr. Who, although I have lots of friends who are fans. I've learned by osmosis. :)

[sweetsyren.livejournal.com]

Have you learned that the fandom is possibly more mental than SPN?? Cos it really really is sometimes. Like any time the Doctor regenerates.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, they've had thirty-odd years to build up the crazy. :)

[sweetsyren.livejournal.com]

Oh and they've taken it and ran with it lately.

The latest thing is Amy's skirts. Oh and her coming onto the Doctor. Pearls are being clutched as we speak.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

New Companion? What's wrong with her skirts?

[sweetsyren.livejournal.com]

Too short. And the fact that she was a kissogram...well! You can just imagine...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

A kissogram Companion? SHOCKING!

I am appalled!

...

Anybody buy that? *looks around*

Guess not. :D

[sweetsyren.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY!

Now imagine saying it and meaning it.

Thats pretty much where some quarters of the fandom are at.

Oh and the whole "Matt Smith's too young/fugly/weird/crap actor to play the Doctor even though I haven't seen him act and never will because i have my knickers in a knot and refuse to watch it!" thing.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

Isn't that what they said about the last Doctor's incarnation?

[sweetsyren.livejournal.com]

And every single other Doctor before him. It's the most entitled and judgy fandom in the history of ever.

There are some little oasis' of calm and reason though. Just not on any of the major comms...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

Oh, fandom. You're SO wanky! :D

[sweetsyren.livejournal.com]

I think your icon has the right idea. In cases such as these it really is the only way to be sure.

As long as i'm on the shuttle.
