jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Writing - Grammar)
[personal profile] jadesfire
The cold, it has killed my brain cells. Instead of writing, I'm wandering round LJ, adding back comms that I stopped watching a few months ago. No, not [livejournal.com profile] fanficrants because the traffic is too high and there's just too much manga for me to get what's going on most of the time. But I did put [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes back on, and found a new one that appeals more specifically to my sense of humour:

[livejournal.com profile] wrongworddammit

Because that word doesn't mean what you think it means...

You know, in the time I've spent reading back through all the posts at that comm, I could have written my LFWS entry... Or I could have, if this wretched bug hadn't killed my writing braincells. I'm glad I got it *after* we posted 'Board Wars', or it might never have happened. I'd so hoped to go through LFWS without using a skip, no matter how busy I got. Apparently, I can write when I'm up to my neck in RL, but not when I have a virus.

Go figure.



You know, some days I scare myself. Because while *I* do everything *you* guys tell me to (of course), when *I* mention something and *you* guys think it's fun too, it always surprises me :) So, one post here leads to 2 at [livejournal.com profile] wrongworddammit and one at [livejournal.com profile] fanficrants. Feel the power.

*pauses*

[nothing]

Ah well.

In further evidence that with great power comes great responsibility, have some emergency SGA fic, designed to stop [livejournal.com profile] naye from going anime-crazy. Hopefully it worked...

Ooh! *Joins [livejournal.com profile] wrongworddamnit*

I joined a badfic community once, but I'm a bit iffy about them. I suppose I'm just scared of seeing my own stuff on there!

*G* Make sure you join [livejournal.com profile] wrongworddammit (US spelling - they tend not to use the 'n'. There's an irony there if I can just get at it...)

I like MSTs in general, but quickly get tired at the volume of posting to badfic comms, or at least the level of stuff that's considered bad. Sometimes it's just...poor. You have to dig for the real gold ;)

[livejournal.com profile] wrongworddammit should come with a warning: "May make you yell "YES! DAMMIT!" out loud in public." :D

It is a bit like that, isn't it? I ended up reading half the posts out because of the giggling - apparently it disturbs my colleagues.

I joined ffrants a while back, but don't watch it, it eats the friends pages, but it's interesting to go to when bored. Some of the rants are ones you yell "YES! THAT!" and others make me go crosseyed or not even understand (manga ones usually).

btw- have you ever looked at [livejournal.com profile] fandom_grammar? It's also interesting for the ocassional read

*nods* Entertaining complaints are great, but some of the ranting is either too obscure or too...well...ranty for my taste.

I've seen the other comm mentioned - will have a look, thanks :)
