NaNoWriMo: Day 4
Word Count: 496

I will not panic, I will not panic, I will not panic ...

I will, however, kick the shit out of netscape if it doesn't stop crashing. Argh! And yes, Outlook, if you don't stop it with the infinite slowness of doom, I shall smite you, too!

I need coffee.

Trivia factlet of the day: The Lemon from U2's Zoo TV tour is stored in pieces in three different warehouses in Belgium.

"The all-purpose short sleeve white t-shirt (Represented here by a map of Belgium)" The NaNo people are on the special crack, yo.

I need a title for my NaNovel. Aaarrrrrgh.

Discovered this weekend that That Blasted Rod Stewart Song still makes me sniffly. I hate my brain.

Also, people on the NaNo page who are going "Argh! I only have x-thousand words"? Bite. Me.

Dear Self

What you should be thinking about:

• Your NaNovel

What you shouldn't be thinking about:

• Marcus/Lee war!drabbles;
• Marcus/Lee anything;
• Marcus/Draco BLC smut;
• Marcus/Draco cuteness;
• young!Marcus&baby!Draco adorableness of Dooooom;
• Harry/Draco;
• Harry/Oliver;
• Harry/Marcus (WTF?);
• Draco/Oliver (ditto);
• Strange Love (Why now, for fuck's sake?);
• Assorted randomness.

No love,
You

Meh.

On the good side: got more feedback for Evitar, which is making me feel a lot better. It's nice to realise that I actually am improving as a writer.

On a different note

Yet Another Article On Fanfic and Slash

I really wish someone would write an article about fanfic, and especially about slash, that isn't all "Look at the freaks!" I want one article, just one to actually go into motivation and (slash) fanfic culture/"community", something just a bit more in-depth.

Of course, this might be because I want to read such an article -- I want to see what fan culture looks like from the outside, but apparently no one really sees fan culture from the outside. Apparently, the "nerds and wankers" aura is too thick for people to realise there's a bit more behind it -- we are nerds and wankers, of course, but I like to think there's a bit more, as well. (If nothing else, a large group of tiny groups of writers banding together, which, to me, was one of the big revelations of discovering slash.)

I'm not making much sense, I know.

Dear wanker

If you know so much better than we do how to organise this course, how about you come do it yourself?

Better yet, how about you bite me?

Two-fingered salute,

Right. Let's try this, then.

Have alcohol, will NaNo.
