Etsy is extremely weird. I feel weird about the whole handmade craft movement, I really do, but I feel the way Etsy works with favorites and popularity is similar to how it works on DA. I'm not popular on either, so there you go. In the past I've only been interested in using DA to lurk around collecting favorites but now I'm all into the SP fandom, the best fandom in the land. It's totally ironic, isn't it? I'm waiting for the wanky dark side to reveal itself. It also seems like people are pretty independent and generally into the show, rather than just grouping together to be BNF bitches. This is actually the first time I've really been genuinely into a fandom, and not just hanging around for the drama/badfic/free pie.
I'm sure yours isn't bad. It's got to be at least good to read, right? Well, you would probably disagree. Mine is, like ... way over the top. Like, with accidental pregnancies and genderqueers and bitch-fighting parents and disillusioned siblings. I've written a couple of solid chapters, but it's not in any shape to be shared with the internet at large. I've probably said too much. I'll let you know when it gets anywhere near presentable. (Which might be like next March.)
Actually, a good amount of these threads of correspondence stop with me. For example, this comment went unanswered for a while, and I'm a week behind on my review reply. The bulk of my work is on the computer, so I spend a lot of time on it, which in a lot of ways sucks. Then when I get sick of it I completely remove myself. But I'm always kind of around. Blech. Wait, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Oh, the review I gave you. I feel like I should be reviewing other people a lot more, actually, but something really has to move me to want to do it. It's not a secret that I freaking love your work so it wasn't like a chore or anything.
Okay, yeah, I think I've completely forgotten how to use Photobucket. Is there no longer a way to just put up one picture without using the bulk-uploader? Didn't there used to be a way to do that? It totally doesn't matter now. Yeah, these conversations are getting kind of mixed up, but I think I've got it straight. I totally owe you something, by the way. I'm just so pleased that I finally got a number worth noting, even if it's the lowest one ever. (You know that if you ever do a kiriban or anything I'll be all over it.)
I have been waiting for "Lex Talionis" for like three months. I have spent way too much time thinking about it over the past three months. I have reread it way too many times. And even if I have the whole thing figured out, which I doubt, I still want to read it. The experience of reading really good writing is so much more rewarding than just finding out what happens. (Harry Potter what?) Like, there are still all these gray areas that I'm looking forward to seeing you handle. Like, is Kyle just a murderess (ha), or is there a self-defense element to his situation? Does someone's life have to be in immediate danger for that to be valid, or does he get a bye for being in a hostage situation? How did Cartman manage to get him into that situation, anyway? What's going to happen to Stan? I need to know all of this. I think you said ... um, Gregory is going to be a major player in the next part, maybe? I don't know how he'll fit in. Let me restate that if it were a bad story my interest in reading it would have fallen off as soon as I figured out that Kyle was the abuse victim, and it didn't. It's just a really good story, really well-written.
