Appropos of Nothing in Particular...

You know what the problem with the Supernatural fandom is? It has waay too many completely awesome fics being posted every day. No matter how much I read, I'm always missing out on something. I'll never catch up. It's not fair.
I sometimes wonder why people bother paying good money for stuff like tie-in novels and Harlequin paperbacks when the fanfiction is so awesome and it's free.
In other news, I'm sick. Not ill, just sick. As in not sick enough to be relegated to bed, with a compassionate Mum cooing over you and exemption from chores, but sick enough to have to stick to your usual routine albeit with a myriad of irritants and aches while people snap at you for complaining about them. I feel like a brittle boned old biddy with a bad case of gout today. Ugh!
FYI, World, you're a friggin' awful bitch sometimes.
P.S: I now hate Asia as much as Sam does.

But I'm sorry you're sick. :( *hugs*

Date: 2008-02-16 03:59 pm (UTC)Truth is, I'm more in a writing mood than a reading one these days, but since campus is starting on Monday, I guess RL is going to put paid to that as well. Oh, why can't I just live in the Internet?
Do you know whether places like supernaturalfic hosts its stories posted to it in separate fic archive? I'm not really active in the SPN fandom outside of LJ. Plus, spnfic's tagging system isn't really sufficient when you're looking for a specific fic. And I really don't want a multiple page meme list.
Even LJ tries to complicate my life. Et tu, Brute?

Date: 2008-02-16 06:25 pm (UTC)I guess it depends on the kind of fic you're looking for re: fanfic archive. There's a great het fic archive called "Just Like the Rifle" that hosts a separate fic archive: http://fanfic.kaz-2y5.com/ You should check it out. ;)

Date: 2008-02-16 03:05 pm (UTC)am supposed to spend the evening with mmy highshool gang and it's been so long I've seen tem I don't wanna miss that. plus, since they have special abilities too, I always feel better in their company.
I hope you'll recover quickly...so you can catch up with all the waesome SPN (and LC, mind you!) fics around! :)
(((hugs)))
PS: did you receive my facebook friend request? 'cause am starting to wonder if I friended the right Hasini...
LOL+TC,

Date: 2008-02-16 03:49 pm (UTC)Yes, you did get the right Hasini because I got the email notification for your friend request. I just wait a while and ok all the friend requests at a go. =)
Actually, I chose 1. I made 3 into a userpic, since that one won out on the poll, but the smaller the pic, the huger my nose looked. So I decided to compromise and put 3 up on FB and made a userpic out of 1.
I'm tentatively starting to get back into LnC fiction, but I'm a bit caught up with RL these days to read any fic at all.
I hope you feel better soon, love. *hugs* Have a good time with your friends. You should never miss out on a chance at a reunion. I know my old friends are the ones that make my life worth living, sometimes.

Date: 2008-02-16 04:53 pm (UTC)I've been taking headache pills each 4 hours since this morning. my, I hate headaches, specially period related ones.
you're right about friends: they're the one keeping me going when I feel low and about to let go and I think they sense it! 'cause when I'm off internet or not updating for a few days I get sms and mails wondering: "so, how are things? feeling good? how about a movie, coffee...?"
I love them. and my lj friends are like that, too! :)
I haven't been FB for long but I get the same feeling as you do: I find it colder and less relaxed & friendly than lj. it's like there are barrriers somehow. less interactive, IMHO.
hope you're also feeling better. will be thinking of you! :)
*hugs*
