Am I a BNF? O_o

[tj_rowe]

I got an ff.net PM today:

"Sounds cool!
Would you do me a favour; can you reveiw my [ficname censored for anonymity]? I will be grateful if you do!"

I mean... is this a normal request? Do people randomly ask people to review their fics? (I notice that she didn't say to read it first XD) I mean, I remember folk might mention it at the end of their reviews back when I was in the Teen Titans fandom (me and Instant Coffee had a kind of review-exchange/encouragement-exchange system going, IIRC), but...

I guess I'm just not used to interacting with young fans. XD Ah well. *reads some of the utter crack that is this fic*

...
In other news, while still belonging under the same subject title:

I forgot to embed that last icon in a post:

I've also put some of my icons on the xiaolin_yuri Yahoo group, too - it seemed so sad with the complete lack of activity that I had to do something...

Since the series ended, the fandom's really been slowing down.

...

I say that, but it's actually not true. The only truly active LJ comms were chase_jack and xiaolinshowdown - and C_J is still going fairly strong (I just don't read in it any more). The main comm was all about canon, though, and no more canon = no more 'OMG New Episodes! *spazz* Oh, sorry, false alarm...' posts. (I'll do meta on TAT2 soon, promise!)

And outside of those comms - we_love_wuya has lost wuya, the best lesbian moderator anyone could ask for, jadebell has work now, the majority of the other oldbies RP or are in other fandoms now, I have no idea why I haven't been paying enough attention to shinatobe and her gorgeous icons, theanonym is working on her OLF (Obscenely Long Fanfic, which I recommend - DWCG era), muniyeka has writers block and I'm so busy procrastinating on procrastination that I'm not typing up the fic that IS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO ME NOWOMG. -_-;;

Yeah, that's basically my XS-fandom world. And we're all growing up and going to Uni and Working and not having time for it! It's so inevitable and sad. One of those things that I love as a plot device but hate in real life.

Yeah, that's basically my XS-fandom world. And we're all growing up and going to Uni and Working and not having time for it!

I know! I'm ashamed to say that I too have been busy with my other fandoms [*coughbuffy*coughloonatics*...], and school work has been piling up like the dead, and the time I'm not busy, nobody seems even remotely interested anymore. It's so depressing. :(

*offers alcohol* I try to make time, but there's so little of it! And I need to sleep no matter how much I deny the fact!

Ah Hahaha...Hits Wall

[muniyeka.livejournal.com]

I don't have writer's block...I wish it was writer's block. It would be much easier.

I am just incredibly lazy nowadays. I have so many ideas, but none of the drive that I had a short time ago. Why, Jesus, why???

Yeah, the XS fandom is slow, well, the part of the fandom I like (too much Raimundo/Kimiko...)

I need alcohol.

*pours you a glass over the German wine that she still hasn't got around to drinking*

Ah, I'm with you on the writing - it's like 'ideas! All over the place!' and then when you get to the computer/notebook you can't be arsed to write them down. It sucks. -_-;;

Goddamn the Winter God

[muniyeka.livejournal.com]

Heh. I have all the time in the world right now and I should write something, but pretty fanfiction has captured me. Oh, and video games.

Maybe I should get drunk off my ass, it might help the writing of ideas, but alas, I cannot drink until I am 21.

Take it from me - drunkenness does help. XD As does having a fever. And being common-sense impaired in any way...

Hail the Chocolate God

[muniyeka.livejournal.com]

Again, this leads me to the same question on how old you really are. I have my guesses...but tis still a mystery.

Re: Hail the Chocolate God

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

17. It says so on my userinfo page. XD

... Wait, that was a comment on the alcohol-ness, wasn't it. Drinking Age over here is 18, but underage drinking is a national hobby. XD

You Want Something Witty? Well, You Ain't Gettin' It!

[muniyeka.livejournal.com]

Drinking age over here is 21. Sounds like a nice hobby, but,I prefer to be legal, that way, I can get drunk off my ass!

Your userinfo said you were 17? Man, I need to remember things.

Gosh darnit. You're two years younger then me.

*feels self-consciously young when you say it like that*

No Quiero Taco Bell

*feels self-consciously old when you say it like that*

Bummer.

Re: No Quiero Taco Bell

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

*feels old, too*

And yet, I wouldn't want to be 'young' again. I was a wangsty, wangsty teenager. XD
