Status of Me. And a meme.

[annerb]

Still alive.

Still on writing vacation. (Though...I can already feel the fannishness building up. I'm looking forward to the explosion.) My crippling writing guilt is also finally beginning to recede, though a recent comment from a reader asking if I was okay, in the sense of hoping nothing catastrophic had befallen me since I have been neglecting my WIP so woefully long...that sort of brought back another wave of crippling guilt. Deep breath. Then I have to remind myself that other than a few outstanding WIPs, sequels, and such, I am not signed up for a single ficathon right now. Phew.

+++

To focus on something more positive (and certainly more finished), I thought I might take a stab at the DVD fic commentary thingy, if anyone really finds this sort of thing interesting. But if someone actually does, I wouldn't mind giving it a try. I consider it pressure-free writing. Woot.  Oh, and my stories are here.  If you pick one of the longer novel-type fics, I'd appreciate any hint as to a specific chapter or scene you have the most interest in. Or something.

Who are you?

[katcorvi.livejournal.com]

What she said.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

It hasn't been *that* long, meanie. :P

[katcorvi.livejournal.com]

Nellie and I beg to differ on that one. Long, long, so long that Nellie has moved onto LOCI, whatever the heck that is. I fear that surrealis has led her astray. Next thing you know, I'll be reading only Black Stallion/Misty of Chincoteague fic unless you whip out some Jomantha to keep me in the fold.

It's either that or the Pit of Voles. You know, I might just die from schmoop overload. You and Nellie would cry. Well, you would. Nellie might get a bit misty, but she would blame it on the pollen. No, really, it would be pollen. I'm deluding myself because this is Nellie.

Anyway, post more. We missed you.

[syxp.livejournal.com]

Jomantha.

hahahaha

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

You know, if you hadn't needled your way into getting glimpses at unpublished bits, we would have some put aside to tide you over during my dry patch. Bet you wish you had some Jenny the Publicist fic to read about now, huh. :P

[katcorvi.livejournal.com]

Yep! I sure do. Jenny is a hoot.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Check you email, meanie. I have no defenses for Kat guilt. :P

[katcorvi.livejournal.com]

You are the nicest S/J writer in the whole world. Wait! You're the nicest fic writer in the known galaxy!!! :::smooches you:::

ETA: Having read the snippet, I now want to marry you and do your laundry, make you dinner, clean out your cat litter boxes, and so on and so forth, but no babies. Too messy.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Dude, you're gonna break my cover. I'm mean, remember? And a sockpuppet. *And* a troll. Snerk. Though, now that you mention it, the litter boxes are a little ripe. Hmmm...

[syxp.livejournal.com]

I'm just writing tiny LOCI things.
They don't really count...

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

That's how it always starts...

[katcorvi.livejournal.com]

I fear the worst.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

The worst part is that I am only up to season three of LOCI, so can't read her fic. Lol.

[katcorvi.livejournal.com]

So it makes no sense? That's not stopping me. I'm reading it, but I'm not commenting cause all I could say is "Um, nice way you strung those words together. Now, please, what happened to Jack's magic penis? Surely there are some recent adventures rattling around in your lovely and snarky brain?" And then Nellie would reach through the intarwebz and kick me.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Who's asking?

[syxp.livejournal.com]

Nellie.

[a-loquita.livejournal.com]

OK, maybe you've done this meme before so it's no big deal for you. But I just did this for the first time and it was... pretty darn excruciating! So why would I do it to you???

Ah. Well. If you insist. I'd like to hear any thoughts you have on your first two chapters of your DC series :)

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

I haven't done the commentary thing before. Is it awful? I just have a hard time imagining that anyone really cares what I might have to say. Lol.

[meoinya.livejournal.com]

Good to know you're still alive out there and nothing bad has befallen you!

Maybe this will call to the muse?

Hopefully the URL will work . . .

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

All the muse needs is a few nights of binge drinking and some time to sleep the hangover off. Not that the picture isn't full of squee. :)

[meoinya.livejournal.com]

Binge drinking? Ohh, I wanna come! LOL!

Well, I'll raise an imaginary glass and toast ' here's to hoping that happens soon!' :)

[serafine-fic.livejournal.com]

Holy frijoles - what a beautiful shot. Where on earth did you get it?
It positively screeches for fic - screeches I say. Hmmmm....

[meoinya.livejournal.com]

It's apparently a real behind the scenes shot that is being sold by Legends Memorabilia.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Writing vacations FTW! Unless you're the reader, in which case :-(

BTW, I lurve your peanut gallery and want to marry them.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Oh, and for the meme thing...I have no ability to think at this time, so I'm taking a rain check.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Rain check so noted. Though I guess I am not completely clear on what a commentary should look like. Snerk. It just sounded interesting.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am feeling very good about the vacation and actually getting a smidge of original stuff done. I tripped over my failed NaNo from last year the other day and I was like, "Hey, this isn't half bad!"

Do you want my peanut gallery? Apparently they are for sale. ;)

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

How much are the peanut gallery? Do I have to pay them? Feed them? Clothe them? I need to know the costs of such a venture!

[thothmes.livejournal.com]

No! No! Repeat after me: Art is a gift from the artist, not an entitlement! Art is a gift from the artist, not an entitlement! Art is... [wanders off repeating mantra indefinitely]

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to remind myself of the mantra, but I'm too busy staring at your icon in horror. Lol. Or maybe it's time for a sequel to the Thor/Sam fic. Hmmmm...

[thothmes.livejournal.com]

Well, you know that Samthor & Thormantha were my reaction to your original Thor/Sam crackfic, don't you? Mmmuuaahaahaahaa!

[serafine-fic.livejournal.com]

Good luck in shaking the funk. I wish I could help. Let me know if I can.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I am sure it will get better eventually. :)

[carta.livejournal.com]

I'm going to throw in a generalized love for DVD commentaries that the fic writers do for their own stories. (I don't quite get the point of the commentaries done by other people.) but I only just found you! And so have no one story to request, as I'm still reading through your list, omg you write a lot. yay.

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Ah, good to know! Now I will just have to come up with something to say. Lol.

omg you write a lot

Haha. Yeah, I guess so. This must be why I am all twitchy for not having posted any fic in almost a full month! *gasp*

Enjoy!

[annienau08.livejournal.com]

Hey, I know you! I think. :P

And since I've been on a Teal'c kick the past few days, I'd love to read a commentary on A Space Apart. Or, well, anything else. I'm easy like that. :)

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Hey, I know you! I think.

God, I really have been that incognito lately, haven't I. Lol.

Teal'c, yay! But man is that an old fic, my first attempt to even try to write Teal'c if I recall. It will possibly be torturous to re-read. ;) Or maybe I will just edit as I go along. Snerk.
