Doh

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 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 metaquotes back on, and found a new one that appeals more specifically to my sense of humour:

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 wrongworddammit and one at 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 naye from going anime-crazy. Hopefully it worked...

Ooh! *Joins 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!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*G* Make sure you join 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 ;)

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

D'oh! Maybe I should read the community for educational purposes!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*dies at your icon* I'm going to chuck my NaNo ones and get some of the badfic ones that Z acquired, but that one is awesome.

Also, do not read the comm in a public place. I ended up having to read half of it out to my colleague...

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

Skience jokes amuse me way too much. I should really stop telling the Heisenberg joke at social gatherings because nobody else laughs at it.

I see what you mean - the 'scathing milk burns' one is going to be shared around at work! (Actually, milk doesn't burn that much, even at 100 degrees it feels mild compared to water scalds. I know this from experience!)

... I joined and posted in ffr. It is ALL YOUR FAULT.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*whistles innocently*

...did you not know about ffr? It's a whole lot of fun if you like watching people argue :)

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I've been an f_w member for six years, I know about ffr. ;) I just resisted joining until now.

[crystalshard.livejournal.com]

Hee. Have joined wrongworddammit. It's a marvellous place for wasting time.

[naye]

Worked so well! ♥

...now I'm reading fic instead. XD

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*g* There's so much wrong! Dammit ;)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

So I saw! :D Always happy to help!

[pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com]

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

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

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 fandom_grammar? It's also interesting for the ocassional read

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

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.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*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 :)

[azure-chaos.livejournal.com]

love the neutron icon too. what's the Heisenberg joke? (love=scigeekery jokes)

nate

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

Heisenberg is speeding down the motorway when he's pulled over by a police car. The officer gets out and taps on the car window.
"Excuse me sir," says the policeman, "do you realise how fast you were going?"
"No," says Heisenberg, "but I know exactly where I am!"

...I know. So lame it should be taken out the back and shot.

Two atoms walking along a street, and one turns to the other and says "oh no, I lost an electron."

The second one looks at the first. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah," says the first. "I'm positive..."

...you think you have problems ;)

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

You should be ashamed of yourself!

*Copies that one down*

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Loving your icon!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

OOOOOOOOOoh *starts watching wrongworddammit* :D

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

It's a great one - definitely a favourite :)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee. I love stumbling across these things that make me point at the screen and go "YES! That!"

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

And I just heard one worthy of sharing during my drive home!!!
