That feeling...
Jan. 23rd, 2017 07:10 am...When people arbitrarily say no for something that literally would not be any hair off their back and would help promote a small fest, just because I'm not willing to pretend to be just like them right now.
No, I don't regret the title choice
Jul. 13th, 2013 02:44 amSo the BB fic is typed and now beta'ed, sent to the mods to approve of provided it is Steve/Tony enough. I'm still debating on adding a scene with Natasha, but we'll see. I might wait on that until I'm done with History Lessons sequel, which I admittedly haven't been working on as religiously as I might be. It's probably nearly finished, but my interwebs are currently restricted to the office, and that's when I usually write.
I did find an awesome title though. And by awesome, I mean 'This could not be any more perfect than it is' sort of awesome. I'd gone through like, three or four that I didn't really care for, before Nar got the fic. Then she was trying to find a good title and I figured I might as well look at a few poems to steal from. Then Edna St. Vincent Millay happened, as she is wont to do. Despite the fact I was looking for another poem by her entirely, she did give me the perfect title. I knew she was one of my favorites for a reason.
Also, I had the awkward fandom conversation with my room mates. It's a lot harder when they've never heard of fandom. There's a reason I tend to avoid this conversation, and it's not because I'm ashamed of fandom or anything like that. It's just so bloody annoying having to explain everything. Yes, I like cartoons. No, that's not childish. Yes, I write stories. No, they can't be published and you probably wouldn't understand them since you're confused by my Cap and Iron Man plushies. Trust me, you don't want to wander into fandom by yourself because you will be scarred. Just all the hoops you have to jump through when talking to someone who has no idea that fandom even exists. It's exhausting, and I could be spending that time reading or doing other things. -_-;;;
It was rather weird talking to someone who had never even heard of Marvel and its superheroes though. Granted, it's probably not as big a deal in China as it is stateside, but the movies have been kind of hard to miss, I thought. Then again, she's also sitting there calling me out on how unfeminine I am, since I don't like dresses, pink, half a dozen other things, and yet I like action movies and scifi. I swear, it's like they've never heard of a tomboy here. I shake my head at you sometimes, China. I really do.
In the mean time, I'm still contemplating Steve and pandas for fic. I haven't done pure crack in a while, though this will probably end up as Unicorn sort of crack rather than Roleplaying Time Lords crack. I'm also contemplating a return to Whovian fic with the next Amy-verse (though I should really wait until the next Amy-verse gets back to me since it's still not posted). I might throw up another poll just for kicks. We'll see how it goes. XD
