Look, Buffy and Spike have really hot sex, okay?

I've been failing hard at fanfic lately.

First I've been not writing any, but that's not new. I haven't been reading much, either. My brain's just not in the right place, and there are so many novels and such that I want. And then there's fandom itself. I find myself interested in fewer and fewer things. And even the things I am interested in, I just... don't get to. I've got about 19 aravistarkheena fics that I've been eagerly awaiting and, in some cases, pestering for, but I've been an asshole and still haven't read them. Though I WILL get to them!

It's Buffy's fault. I'm obsessed with something that's not comics for once. Don't worry, I'll never abandon comics completely, but instead of more lack of fic, there might be Buffy fic coming up.

In fact, I'm doing lonely prompts right now. All Buffy, some SPN thrown in. I'm working on some DC too, so there'll be at least one of those when I'm done.

Um, people can link me to particularly great prompts I may not have seen if they want. Whatever. At least I'm writing again.

Oh! And I'm 20 in 15 days!

I know how you feel. I just haven't had a fandom brain lately unless people actively prod at me to write. I have ideas and things I want to write but I feel like I never get anything done.

And I've barely read anything fandom that isn't band!AU in months. I'm sort of glad to know I am not the only one ^_^;

And I look forward to your Buffy, SPN and DC comment_fics, even though I barely visit comment_fic anymore.

And yay for turning 20!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

I don't know band!AU, but... meh. I've been reading novels and stuff, at least. Now I just need to write.

Well, if it helps, I will be posting them to my LJ. Or at least links. It'll be fun.

[faile-neume.livejournal.com]

It's an AU about the Robins starting a band that got out of control and is now ridiculously long and involved. It's over here (http://munnin-odanin.livejournal.com/25120.html) if you're interested.

Yay! I was hoping you'd at least put links so I didn't have to trawl through comment_fic ^_^

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's Batcest stuff. Not interested. :-P

The ones I've written so far are here. (http://community.livejournal.com/comment_fic/141357.html?thread=30268205#t30268205)

[faile-neume.livejournal.com]

Ah right, I forgot your dislike of Batcest. Sorry!

Woo! *reads*

Well, you can console yourself that there are Buffy comics, so the argument could be made you're still technically write a comics fandom! XD

Dude, I swan around through the various chambers of my metaphorical fannish heart (which is much larger than my real heart, and in fact might be bigger than Buckingham Palace at this point). Never feel guilty about being inspired!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

No consoling necessary! I just worry I'm alienating my audience. Do I need to get Buffy friends now? I dunno.

I know, I've read a lot of the Buffy comics. But I wouldn't call it a comics fandom. The comics are part of the fandom, which is based on a TV show, if that makes sense.

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

Hm. I don't know if you need to, but you will probably find that Buffy friends find you, or that previously comics-friends reveal themselves to also be Buffy fans. *shrugs*

That does make sense. It's like how I'll write about X-Men cartoon 'verses, but it's still a comics fandom to me.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

I was mostly joking. Right now I'm pretty much writing the fics I want to read, and they're all very short, so not too worried. We'll see.

[milleniumrex.livejournal.com]

Yay birthday! :D

I'm 27 in four days. I'm old.

I think I have my first non-comic fandom obsession in ever, too - "How to Train Your Dragon". There may be fic.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm young. Everyone's older than me. It's sad.

I haven't seen it yet. It's good?

[milleniumrex.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. Very good. Great characters, and some really cool subtext about real-world issues without being over-the-top like Avatar was.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

I'll have to check it out!

[aravistarkheena.livejournal.com]

Oh god, I totally got distracted by the porn fest. I MEANT to have the last chapter of Priorities up this weekend but between Porn Fest and Gloria sleep overs, it just didn't happen. I'm going to try and finish it this week.

I totally get the brain not being in the right place AND the distracting novels. I'm totally getting back into the Amelia Peabody series. Fuck I forgot how much I love these novels. So fucking good. You should reeeeeead them Shana. Then we can fangirl. :D

Also, I'm a firm believer in reading fic when you have the time to enjoy it. It shouldn't be a chore.

All that matters to me is that it makes you smile, Shana. <3

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

That wasn't a pester! Take your time. <3 I can't wait to... go read everything. Or apparently I can wait. But I do want to read them! And then I'll have no excuses not to post the damn collection post. OR I CAN BUG ZOE MORE.

Oooh, tell me more! No, wait, don't. Tell me more in several months when I don't have school and can start reading all these novels piling up next to me! Because right now I can NOT afford to get interested in a new series type thing. I just don't have time. Do you have any idea how much it kills me to say that? God I hate college. No more lit courses. From now on, I read only what I want to read.

<3 D'aww. Well, at least I'm writing some fic finally? You'd probably like the Tim/Cissie one I wrote. I don't know if you're into Buffy which is what the other 13 all are, but hey. Also, I need to write more. I'm winning right now, but I think someone's probably gonna post like, twenty at once JUST to spite me soon.

[aravistarkheena.livejournal.com]

Oh I want to get it done. That and Sakar. And I really should write the last story in the Dust Universe. I haven't decided on what my next project should be. I have about three or four options to chose from. So I think I keep coming up with old stuff to finish so I have more time to make a concrete decision.

I totally understand. Let me know when you're done. I have at least TWO series of novels that are FANTASTIC and I'm sure you'll love. No one in fandom really reads BOOKS, you know? Everyone just reads fic. So I'm left with no one to fan girl over novels with. It's heartbreaking, really.

I'm sure I will. Are you going to link them in your journal at all? I'm not so into Buffy. I watched the first season and decided it was terrible. So I gave up.

GOOD LUCK ON THE CHALLENGE! I'm going to try and write some next week for Rex's hosting thing.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

You should write something... awesome. I don't know. I'd give you ideas, but I'm fresh out of brains right now.

Oh man, I WANT. Right now I'm trying to finish up the Percy Jackson novels, which are light but fun, and the Dresden Files. Then I've got a stack of Robin Mckinley books and a random novel my teacher gave me. Also, I want to reread Narnia because we're gonna run an RP based off them. Well, sort of based off them. It's complicated and awesome. And oh my GOD why don't I have more time in my life? Nnngh. We should make a book club. We can like, read books and have chatrooms. It'd be beautiful.

I will definitely link them. I'll probably repost some of them too, depending on how much I like them on reread.

And GASP. You can't quit after the first season! Of course you'd think it sucks if you stop there! The later seasons are absolutely amazing, I promise. It's worth sticking with it. And Spike is really attractive and amazing, plus you'll like Faith, I think, and there are LEATHER PANTS, Bek, lots of them! And MUSICALS. And LESBIANS. And oh my god I'm gonna watch more. I did warn you I'm obsessive, right? But I promise I only get this obsessive about things that really are that good.

THANKS! Heee, that'll be fun. I'll leave prompts! That aren't all Buffy!
