Fandom

It's All Relative

ME (sitting at computer reading Matrix fics on ff.net) : Well, some of them are really really good, and some of them are really really bad.

TENCH: *Raising eyebrow at one of the really bad ones* I take it Mary-Sueism is rampant in the "Matrix" category.

ME: Well uh, actually, yeah.

TENCH: And how about the Mortal Kombat fans?

ME: (*blink blink*) Well, err, some of them have trouble spelling the word "the"...*SNICKER*

TENCH: You mean, "teh"?

ME: LmAo! Yeah basically...

TENCH: That is "teh" r0x0r! *Pacing around* That is "teh" best! Get me some of "teh" whiskey! *To the tune of the Star Wars Theme* Teh, teh, teh teh teh teh TEH teh!

ME: *laughing*

TENCH: You need to get all of this shit "teh"-gether! You are "teh" bomb! Hax0r l33t OMG!!

ME: *GASP laugh laugh, etc.*

TENCH: *goes over to tend houseplants*

ME *records it all in blog for posterity*

TENCH: You're not gonna tell them--what? The thing about Wilson Phillips? *SIIIIING* Don't you know, things'll change, things'll go your way...

ME: Okay, I think they've seen enough.

Bye, then, Peepz. *^_~*

Updates

AKA: "Help! Talking...and...Can't...Shut...Up!"

Note: This represents two and a half weeks' work, compressed for notation's sake. Even I have something like a life. Kinda sorta.

The prologue and requisite notes for War of the Roses are done, and the first chapter is about halfway finished. Of course, the big strategy is to finish the first six parts before I submit even one, so you won't be seeing hide nor hair of it for some time.

I started a stupid, songfic-like AU crossover. It's stuck at chapter two--which, in all honesty, is probably a good thing.

Long Way Down is still in roadblock-land.

On the other hand, I did write a Matrix ficlet. An Agent Smith bit, naturally *^_^*

I've got to quit daydreaming...it's even letting Agents in! Smith "sat" with me and hissed in my ear yesterday. Totally would not go away.

He chose a ladder-backed chair, very emphatically turned it 'round--just missing my foot--and sat in it backwards, chin resting on crossed hands. Without so much as a "Good morning, Mr. Anderson," he began the story.

Even the mutants are scared of him.

The ending was tricky. In the end I took bits from four seperate versions--he's a pontificator--and achieved what (I hope) is the smoothest transition between them.

Yes, it's angst. So's First Man on the Sun and Torn Apart and, technically, Shadows ('Leena won't "talk" to me, with Smith around).

Short version of my writing pattern:

Angst, angst, angst, fluff, smut, smutfluff, angstfluff, angst, angst, angst, fluff.

What can I say? My characters are whiny ^^;

I did some image-farming for that project. I'm pissed as hell that I can't find any good Utena chibis, but I suppose life goes on. Found an absolutely perfect Juri picture, a lambent and weird Miki picture, and some terrific, un-colored Anthy lineart.

I probably won't use any of it, but hey, since when has usefulness (or a lack thereof) precluded me from babbling?

Don't answer that! ^^;

I also made a half-assed mutantshipping image manip. I'm just obsessed with the Armory or something. Yeah, it's horrible. So what? I never said I was talented, you know >^P

Gah. My sinuses are killing me. >_<

Seeya peepz, I'm off for some painkillers.

*Limps toward the medicine cabinet*.
