soc_puppet: Dreamsheep as Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time (Woe!)

Just a few quick things, to save on emo costs.

Thing the first: Pat the Ed!coat is finished (by Mom, as I was lazy and hadn't gotten around to it and it was laying there, etc etc). You can pick it up sometime if you want, or I can give it to you on whenever the next friendly get-together is. I miss you lots ;_; ♥

Thing the second: Mistress of Foxes? You totally won the Boyfriend Lottery. I swear to God.

Thing the third: Next paper assigned for Composition I is a 'reporting' essay. Planning to report on fan fiction. Anyone out there willing to volunteer issues they've run into while writing? What people think when you tell them what you do with your free time--or do you even say? Why you write? Any answers would be appreciated.

Thing the fourth: I'm currently feeling a bit emo at the moment (see icon) probably due to my Psych teacher and her lack of clarity on many things. And lack of ability to teach me in general, really. I need to find out her name so I can not take classes she teaches in the future. Anyway, that is what I believe to be the cause of my current emo. Will be writing the next chapter of Communications in an attempt to fix it. Or at least to take advantage of the mood. Cookie for Icka and companion/continuation of fic for Ysabet will probably be delayed because of this. Sorry! Hope to get back to normal soon and get to work on those.

I know ^.^

But then again, I'll swear to God that either you or Pat won the Girlfriend Lottery. I'm not completely sure which one of you, since you're both wonderful ^.^

Ooh! A report on fanfiction. Have you seen this article? ( http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/003665.html )

I'm not the most prolific fic writer, but I've been writing fanfic since 1997. I would love to help with your report any way I can.

Hmm ... you could start by asking them, 'Have you ever loved a story/book/show so much that you didn't want it to end?' I explained to my parents that fanfiction was simply 'stories with characters I borrowed from TV shows or books.' And that I write them just for fun because I love those characters.

Beyond that, you may not be able to make a non-fan understand why you would love a character so much you would spend time writing something for which you can never receive money. Some people just can't understand that. That's why they're non-fans, I guess.
