Fangirl Says

I have a bad feeling about this. /han solo

First of all, just.../why/? It's fanfic. It's not nearly as interesting to them as it is to us. And if they /did/ want to read it, well, it's pretty easily accessible all over the place. Also, appointing yourself the judge of what's the best fanfic = recipe for disaster.

And, you know, I get not wanting to send TPTB Wincest and slash, but if you're going to exclude those because you want to keep it as close to canon as possible, I'd say you'd better exclude all AUs and anything rated above PG13 (since the show itself is rated TV-14.)

But in general, just...gah, no. Fanfic is for the fans, full stop.

I am, weirdly enough, still getting comments on the Jared/Jensen parody fanfic I wrote back in April. Seriously, where are all these people coming from? I mean, I know it was linked from the fandom_wank post, and that probably is the source of a lot of the post traffic, but still. I love the feedback, but WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!

Anyway, because it bugs me that the intentional bad grammar in the fic might be mistaken for just plain bad grammar, I went back and edited it a bit. It's got a proper header format now, too. I've decided it's fanfic in its own right and I should treat it as such. :)

Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Warnings: RPS, tongue firmly in cheek.
Disclaimer: Fiction. Made it all up. None of it is true. Well, except that Jared and Jensen are indeed from Texas; that part is true. Everything else is NOT REAL.
Comments: Humor, spoof regarding wank about fanfic. It's keepaofthecheez's fault.
Summary: Jared and Jensen find out about fanfic, and tragedy ensues.

The Day Fanfic Turned Jared & Jensen Gay and Totally Ruined Their Lives Forever

Question for the flist. When I first posted the fic, someone encouraged me to post it to a fanfic comm as well. I was hesitant at the time, but man, this feedback thing is addictive. *g* Would I be ill-advised to post it to a comm at this point? Has the moment passed? Please tell me what you think; I don't want to look pathetic if that's at all avoidable.

Also, half my flist has been doing wordles, so naturally, I did one for "TDFTJ&JGaTRTLF":

Um. hossgal (she of the 'your use of an unaltered, textless screencap icon is offensive to me because YOU think it's wincesty' opinion) has rec'd my fic (http://hossgal.livejournal.com/134563.html#cutid1) Which, omg yays, happy day! And also, omgwtfbbq? And also also, I doubt she even remembers me trying to discuss the matter with her, but also also also, she sort of gives my fic a backhanded compliment: "This one's a bit weaker than several others that I'm listing, but there's a line in there about green tea. And I'm a sucker for stuff like that."

Which, um...thank you? I guess? For liking the fact that I mentioned green tea? Even though you thought the other 838 words of it were weak?

I'll just be over here, reminding myself that a rec is a /good/ thing. *g*

Edit: I /swear/ I'm gonna learn how to do the coding properly someday!
