so not a surprise? no.

[seperis]

Yeah, so whoever heard me say I wasn't going to write for this can now collect their winnings, as it was in fact a total lie. To be fair, I really shouldn't have said that before seeing the movie.

I need a beta in probably--hmm, a day or two? About fifteen thousand words in final draft, K/S. Please. With sugar on top. Reply or email or whatever--my regular email is working again or seperis at gmail.

ETA: For everyone who is not amireal because it's too late for her--do not go and look at my Voyager fic. Okay? Look, this is part of a fandom when I was really just starting and I eviscerated my fic from a dark period of my life I thought I was finding an artistic soul or something.

This cannot end well okay? It's been like, ten years--Holy God, it's been ten years since I started writing in fandom. I may need to lie down now.

I would just like to say: this has my full, total, and unconditional support. I am stoked like an engine, baby.

[grammarwoman]

We will gladly take winnings in the form of fic from you.

In the unlikely event that you're running low on betas, I would offer up my services.

[niqaeli]

*brightly* I am happy to beta such things for you! Email's niqaeli@gmail, you have my AIM.

(You'll beta the fic I'm about halfway through, right? It's like -- the aftermath of whumping? Wherein you heal the fuck up and it sucks lots. <3)

Also, I have to admit I once upon a time went looking at your Voyager fic and then... fled back to the warm and safe refuges of your XMM and Smallville fic. I mean, it wasn't just that I totally shipped Kim/Paris, I was willing to follow the het ride just that, uh. Yeah. Yeah. You got so much better! Really!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

By the time I hit Paris/Seven fulltime in short story, I was a lot better. But man, those first six months, it was--yeah, let's never discuss it.

Ami was reading Seven Days while I was trying not to cry the other night.

Is googledocs okay?

I am hoping that low expectations will be prevalent, because seriously, I chose freaking Spock pov. I am just that kind of damned masochist.

Low expectations. I mean, let's aim for a good spellcheck as a standard of achievement.

*hides beneath desk*

[amireal.livejournal.com]

I AM A VERY BRAVE PERSON.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

YOU HATE ME AND WANT TO SEE ME CRY.

[lanning.livejournal.com]

*offers smelling salts* I cannot wait to read this! I am a very happy fangirl. :D

do not go and look at my Voyager fic

*feels your pain* Can I tell folks not to look at my TS fic? Because that was ten years ago, too, and boy howdy. Nothing your artistic soul could produce could top the purple of my wallow. *g*

[amireal.livejournal.com]

THAT DOES NOT NEGATE BEING A BRAVE PERSON.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

There should be a Decade Club for ficsters who hit the 10 year mark. We can stare at our early fic and cry together or something.

[leupagus.livejournal.com]

No! Only high expectations! I expect you to write *in Vulcan*! With all the apostrophe's in the right place!

...seriously, it will be OK. My only expectation is for you to single-handedly redeem this entire rebooted fandom. That's all.

[leupagus.livejournal.com]

Your icon, btw, is great.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Spock pov! I have to keep going back and make sure I dind't use the word "feel"!

I do not even know what i was thinking.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[transtempts.livejournal.com]

:) YOU KNOW MY THOUGHTS ON THIS. *GLEES*

I am always happy to help, so feel free to send it my way. *bounces*

[lanning.livejournal.com]

Either that or indulge in some cheap wine and homegrown weed and laugh hysterically.

[leupagus.livejournal.com]

Well - remember, he does feel. He just, you know, represses it to within an inch of his life. Because being Vulcan = emotional constipation.

But - yeah, Spock POV is very brave. I've written two things so far, both from Kirk's POV, so really the only thing I have to watch for is that he doesn't say "awesome" too much. I'm trying to figure out a way to work in "GQ motherfucker" in somehow, though.

[lanning.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I couldn't resist that picture. *hearts Nimoy*

[niqaeli]

*snickering* I should dig up some of my fannish shame. Mostly Harry Potter, I think, though there's some M*A*S*H stories that -- oh god, I could write an entire commentary mocking some of that. The bizarre thing was how very hit and miss I was; some of my writing from that era is actually good and some of it is... let us never speak of this again.

Googledocs is fine!

(Actually, I'll toss you on the googledoc of what I've got of the whumping. Which ends in hilarity, but that's because I am a terrible person.)

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

I'm on year 12 :D

And dude, do NOT diss the Voyager fic. That's how we met ;)

(my stuff is GOD AWFUL but I keep it on my site because it keeps me aware of where I came from.

...and possibly, I'm a masochist).

[niqaeli]

Oh! Idea! We should totally do this for VividCon. Dig up your old fannish shames, have dramatic readings of said! It could be part of the Badfic Dramatic Reading storytime!

ETA: I realise I should probably mention that I assume booze is a given at a Badfic Dramatic Reading storytime, right? Because I don't think anyone's cruel enough to make people face the fannish shames without a warm fuzzy buzz between them and the pain. *g*

[seperis.livejournal.com]

...that's brilliant. Yes. This.

[niqaeli]

Oh hey that reminds me do you and svmadelyn have any baking requests for your room party? Because any and all baking'll have to get done before the road trip out, and there's other stuff going on for me the week before, so planning is necessary.

Yes, yes I am a crazy person. You should see how we do Christmas. :D

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

So. Effin'. Excited. *gleeface*

[lanning.livejournal.com]

*note to self: ship 10 cases of cheap wine to VVC*

There will not be enough booze in the world to drown my shame.
