i will think of something clever for here later

*shot*

I know exactly the kind of situation you are in, me love, and I feel for you endlessly. God, the worst thing about being a writer is having a thousand and one things in your mind, but not having the time/energy/etc. to get it all out. Ugh. Seriously, it's just the worst thing. Ever.

But, hey, if you can't get flesh out The Other Table properly, I vote for "a boisterous story about fake hipsters," because for some reason, that sounds totally awesome. I won't even try to guess which of these may have Stan/Kyle, because I gotta admit, I love your writing so much, I don't even care if there's slash in it. :p

From:

I vote for "The Other Table".

From:

But honestly, I'll be happy with whatever you choose to write. I'll have to second the fact that a boisterous story about false hipsters sounds particularily awesome.

From:

Do you write? You should write some SP fic. No, really. Based on my online snooping around I know you make really, really sweet icons (which reminds me, I should steal some more) and crazy-extensive fanlisting sites. But you should write a story, based solely on my curiosity about what it would be like/assumption that it would be awesome.

The thing with "The Othe Table" is that I have been at least two chapters ahead of myself this entire time, so I start thinking, "Oh, I have five chapters to go, I should start writing this horrible vampire mpreg story about Stan and Kyle raping each other with carrots," and then in the meantime I post some "Other Table" and suddenly I'm not so far ahead and then I have to catch up and ... gah, what a stupid problem to have.

Anyway, what I'm saying is, it is totally in progress, but I have to wonder what I should give my attention to in the meantime. Thankfully I think you gave the right answer, because I love writing about fake hipsters. Or whatever. I bet I'll post that eventually and you'll be like, "Oh, this was that"?

From:

If I have learned nothing else from "The Other Table," it's that I should have waited until the entire thing was written to start posting it. Half way done is so not okay.

From:

You have permission to hate me if it's not totally awesome. Which it might not be, because I was trying to be pretty vague and misleading with my descriptions.

Voting for fake hipsters! But also intrigued by the body mod one....

From:

Oh, gee, you're making me blush here. *hides face* XD Yeah, a lot of my energy goes into webmaking, especially fanlistings, but lately, I've been pretty lazy with everything. Plus, dude, I so got rejected for the Stan/Kyle relationship fanlisting a few weeks ago after the old one was removed from the network, and needless to say, I spent so many days wallowing in self-pity and wanting to cry myself to sleep and doing nothing proactive. It was a horrible ordeal to get through.

Anyway... getting back to the point, yeah, I do write, but so much of my attention is on trying to get out original works rather than fanfic that I often times have difficulty balancing what my mind is telling me to "sit down and write, you stupid bitch." (No, really, my mind talks to me like that.) But, thankfully, summer is coming up soon, and I will have time to get out everything that's been scratching at my skull. So, if I do indeed decide to write a SP fic--(which, dude, I totally want to, actually)--then it should surface the world sometime then. And hopefully, if the universe is nice enough and I manage to complete that task, I can only hope it meets your assumption. :p

What a stupid problem to have? Ha, never! I think that situation happens more often than you think. :p It's certainly happened to me anyway, and so I think it becomes obvious that sometimes we become so proud of what we've already written that we assume it's okay to venture away from it for a little while. I don't blame you one bit for focusing your attention elsewhere in the meantime though. Fake hipsters unite!

But, dude, that vampire story you mentioned. ....... Sweet lord, why does that intrigue me?

From:

I learnt that during my short-lived fanfiction writing career, which spanned from the time when my grade nine English teacher told me that I was SUCHAGOODWRITEROMG to when I realized that I could write very well in English, but only for a French person. lulz. I think I started and posted about five pieces of fanfiction, none of which I actually finished.

From:

I doubt I'd hate you. Do you think my love is so fickle?! DO YOU?!

From:

I like both of those, too.

From:

Wait, you're French? Like, from France French? Because, whoa. You do write English really well for a French person. Actually, you write English really well for an American person. All of this is probably retarded since I know your LiveJournal says you're from Canada.

From:

Internet love always is.

From:

I wish I could do sweet things with HTML. I would make an awesome SP fandom page or something. I wish I weren't so obsessed with this. I remember when fandom was mostly on websites and archives. Sigh. It was like a year ago. All I can do with HTML is really simple things.

How do you get rejected for/from/[insert proper preposition here] a fanlisting?

Original fiction is obviously far superior. You're probably doing the right thing. But then again, I really like SP fan fiction and think everyone should write it.

The problem is I either write really quickly or really slowly, in weird fits and spurts, and actually, I edit really slowly. So who knows when anything will be done. Sorry.

Oh, god, that was my pathetic attempt at a spur-of-the-moment random example of a cracked out story. I'm not going to write it. But I'd read it! Maybe you should get on that.

From:

Me, too, man. Somehow all of it managed to shift over onto communities, and it seems like the lower quality stuff is on webpages now or something, and all the juicy, good stuff is hidden away in a thousand different communities. Go figure!

How do you get rejected for/from/[insert proper preposition here] a fanlisting?

In order to get rejected for a fanlisting, someone else has to apply for it, too, and the staffers of the network determine who is a "better" candidate as the owner. I think it was just between me and another person and so I ended up getting rejected. I would be sobbing myself to sleep still but I realized later on (after the rejection) that I kind of wrote a crappy application (you have to write applications in order to be considered for a fanlisting) so I only blame myself. XD Ugh, the pain.

The problem is I either write really quickly or really slowly, in weird fits and spurts, and actually, I edit really slowly. So who knows when anything will be done. Sorry.

x3 I edit slowly, too. So slowly, in fact, that by the time I'm done, I'm usually less enthralled with my work than when I began writing it, so it feels like a pitiful job by the time I finish.

Oh, god, that was my pathetic attempt at a spur-of-the-moment random example of a cracked out story. I'm not going to write it. But I'd read it! Maybe you should get on that.

Hey, I'd still read it. XD Speaking of spur-of-the-moment cracked out stories, have you been stalking/paying attention to the South Park kink meme (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_rack/10672.html)? I participated in one of those for another fandom, but never thought I'd see a South Park one. I think everything people have posted so far is either deliciously warped or just all together amazing. Then there are some requests that make me LOL really obnoxiously because of the WTF factor.

From:

I still have no idea what kind of SP stuff is on FF.net versus DeviantArt versus Y!Gal versus LiveJournal versus places I've never even heard of. I kind of wish it was all centralized.

Man, fanlistings are hardcore. I'll refrain from any more comment because I don't really know a lot about them.

I never know how anything will be received. I hang onto things rereading and reworking them forever because it makes me nervous. If I were just writing for myself, which I do, I wouldn't really care, but I have this idea that to a certain extent it's not worth writing fan fiction if people don't enjoy it.

Yes, I have been stalking the kink meme. I've actually both requested things and written things for that stupid meme. I totally, totally love it. I like that it's anonymous, really. Oh, and I like that most of the requests are for Stan/Kyle or at least Kyle. I really don't know why Kyle is the fandom whore/bitch, but it works, or something.

(Now I'm convinced you have something to do with the vampire story on there. Which made me way too happy, actually.)

From:

I wish I could take credit for having to do with the vampire prompt, but alas, I don't. Actually, I saw it yesterday afternoon and thought maybe you requested it, haha! XDD

But, yeah, I requested one thing and filled a request back for the sake of a good deed. (I couldn't just take, I had to give back, man.) I would request a second prompt, but in reality, everyone else's are so damn good that I don't really feel the need. Oh, but I will admit I'm one of the two retards who accidentally commented on the post instead of the proper thread. *felt really stupid after that*

Yeah, the absurd amount of Stan/Kyle requests and just Kyle in general makes me so happy. You're right, he is the fandom bitch, and I'd probably be more concerned with it if I didn't, admittedly, love it. DX

From:

French is my native tongue. I spoke French at home when I lived with my parents and I've always gone to school in French. But my long-term boyfriend is an anglophone, most of my friends (even the French ones) speak English, and my job description consists of writing to people from all over the country using decent spelling and grammar, so I kind of have to be able to function in both languages.

I'm from "Montréal" (yes, it really does exist) which is part of the best Canada in the land, French Canada.

...I had brie, baguette and red wine for supper. LOL.

Ohhh, I really need to check LJ more often. I hope to see every single one of those stories eventually, but I will formally vote for body mod and the deathfic! (I'm interested in the latter because I'm curious about how you'd handle it. Most of the deathfics I've read are emotionally charged fluff, but I can't quite see you writing something that simple.) And, obviously, The Other Table. I'm so sorry it's taking me forever to review, as always...it's just gotten to the point where I'm like "WOW WOW WOW" about everything. It is totally beyond me now, and I love that. It has been way too long since I've gone apeshit over a fic like this.

I always end up talking about The Other Table, oops. A MONTH WITHOUT YOU. What will become of me???

The Other Table of course... You HAVE to finish it, my sanity slips as each day passes without an update... Overdramatic? Just a tad... But still, you have to finish it!!!
And a different one.. Hmm... That's hard... ANYTHING by you is fine..
I'll say the hipsters one, sounds interesting.

From:

Yay! It's comment reply time again!

OMG. French Canada. If I Iived there for a day, I'd understand. Considering my knowledge of anything French Canadian is limited to Gaetan Dugas, I have to refrain from actually saying anything about it -- except that I've always wanted to check out Montreal. It is supposed to be super awesome. I guess you're truly bilingual, which is also awesome. I need to learn French by, like, tomorrow, and I haven't even started beginning to pretend to try. Oh, and the term "anglophone" is kinda cool, too.

Sorry, I'm a totally ignorant American.

From:

Mystery half-solved!

No, the things I requested were really boring. And the things I wrote were really boring. Anyway, you know you could totally have just let the accidental commenting go and no one would ever have known. I love that this meme is anonymous. That's the best part of it, for serious.

Anyway, can you imagine being fixated on, say, Token, and finding the SP fandom and just being incredibly let down? Like, all you ever wanted in life was some really awesome Timmy porn, and there isn't any to speak of? And you were just like, what is all this shit, I don't care about Kyle? I mean, I can't imagine it, I love raping/torturing/objectifying/feminizing/fixating on Kyle. But I'm sure someone out there is just like, oh, balls.

I'm actually waiting for the real Stan/Kyle backlash to begin. Which obviously I hope it doesn't.

Sorry, I'm obsessed with the mechanics of online fandom. I think it would be a great topic for a dissertation. Specifically, the dissertation I've been secretly writing in my head for five years.

From:

OH

MY

GOD

You wrote that? Do you have any idea how much I fucking loved it? I was over at my friend's house (yeah, I check the South Park kink meme at my friend's houses, that's how cool I am) and I made him shut up for 10 minutes so I could just read it and be like, floored. OH MY GOD.

You totally didn't have to reveal that you wrote it, either. IT MADE ME SO FUCKING HAPPY.
