Nodnol Countdown: one day!

jqoizejrvbmnlskjflkmdsjflkj am going to be sodead by Sunday afternoon. I have to get up at half four in the morning tomorrow! And then I get driven to Charleroi, whence I fly to Standsted, then train to London, meet up with Sae some time between eight and quarter past, ideally, drop off my bumph, and go hang out with Sae before meeting Zed at Borders around half eleven. And then there will be shopping, and then there will be Slimelight, and then I'll get to Stansted to catch my twenty to twelve flight home, after which I've to take the train from Charleroi to Antwerp.

In short, I will be up from half past four Saturday morning until roughly three Sunday afternoon, and I will be dead at that point. *whimper* And I have to go into work at eight, too!

Current pondering: Which is hotter, AJ/Joey/Chris, or AJ/Joey/Brian? Big questions about Life, the Universe, and Everything.

For the love of all that is holy, will someone shut up the car alarm that's been sounding for two bloody hours now? ... Oh, yes, brilliant, add sirens and car horns to the cacaphony!

Also, rude people suck. *glares at the phone*

In other news, I'm probably not being v. rational about this, but it always irritates me when people say "No one feels they get enough feedback." Because, and I know no one ever believes me, but I do. I get three to five bits of feedback per story (not counting the ones at ff.net, cause I hardly even look at those anyway), and that's three to five pieces of feedback more than I expect. I am perfectly happy in my own small little-feedback world.

I wonder if the difference is that I've written into a void longer than I've had an audience. (Actually, *counts on fingers* I think it's about equally as long now.) I write for me. To tell a story. I always have and I always will. I edit, get a beta, etc. also for me, to get better, to grow as a writer. I post to put my stories out there because it's the final step in the writing process, for me, but I don't expect to get feedback from people, ever. Which of course makes all feedback a nice surprise. (So don't get me wrong, feedback is appreciated. I just. Don't feel slighted because I don't get X pieces of feedback, or less than, say, Wax, or whatever.)

Er, I think the point to all that was: Don't make assumptions! Yeah.

On another note, if anyone wants to send my slash text messages, I can't use the LJ thing, but if you go to this page you can sign up to send them to me. My number is 0486689090. PLease pretty please? *begs* I need slashiness to get me through this day!

I'm going to die. *dies*

See?

Ahahahahaha!

Okay, so I'm back on RareSlash (shaddup^), and I'm looking through archives, and here's an interesting quote from what I think was the RPS debate:

I'm not writing it. Really. I'll stick to fictional characters and thinly disguised versions of acquaintances.
(Ruth)

Ahahahaha!

Bla bla bla more RPS debate ... Grmpf, somone demanding "blatant huge warnings" if RPF is to be posted. Um, honey, the fandom should be warning enough. I wish I'd have been more verbose and experienced when this happened. Still, a good experience compared to the other RPF discussions I've been in.

*more* Also, it would serve you well to get your listmum's name right. Armelle, not Arnelle.

... Okay, this might not be as calm and decent a discussion as I remembered. Well, it was calm and decent, but looking back, I see a lot of false logic and ditto facts. Hm.

Andandand natlet's first post on 26 January 2000! :D

And dude, my big combined reply post? So much more snippy and bitter than I remember. Whoopsie.

Also, there's some people being a lot more open-minded and pro-RPS in this discussion that they later turned out to be. *frown?*

... Can you tell I have an hour and fifteen minutes left, there's something wrong with the Petty Cash, and I really don't want to have to figure this out?

Whine.

(Edit: This deserved to be shared:

FWIW, I mentioned this little brouhaha to a friend who's in the cartoon biz and he claims that you have a better chance of getting sued for defamation of fictional characters than of real people, 'cos studios have whole gangs of lawyers whose sole purpose is to protect their intellectual property, whereas most celebrities don't. In his words, you'd get sued faster for writing smut about Mickey Mouse than about Walt Disney (a mental image you all needed, I'm sure!)

I'm starting to like this text message slash thingie. Even if I do take ten messages to tell my story. ^_^ Anyone else want one? Leave a comment! And if you don't want ten messages, just say so and I'll restrain myself.

Laaaaance Iiiiiiiin Spaaaaace! That just never gets old. :D

Anyway, I have my plane stuff and Sae's hotel addy printed, so I'm off to my parents. I'll prolly check mail etc. before crashing when I get home on Sunday, so if there's anything that can't wait until Monday morning, email me. And don't start any revolutions while I'm gone, you lot. There will be no Glorious Revolution without your Glorious Leader, you hear? *shakes fist*

Right! I'mm off to see the wiz!
