just fiction thanks

[spankerella]

Perhaps I am being anal, or it could be the fact that I just got home from a HELLISH day at work, but I really don't like when people call my original work fanfic. It's not. Fanfic is the shortened form of fanfiction, and fanfiction by nature is not totally original. My fiction is all me. I created all of it. There's nothing "fanfic" about it. Yes, it's fairly obvious what a lot of my influences are and what pop culture affects me, but that's fairly obvious with many writers.

/end fiction rant

As promised here are the before and afters of my hair. Ignore the hat. Ignore the started look. Certain people like to shout 'hey' then snap photos when I turn.



And more meme madness. The HP house one was snagged from kaz814. The oddly accurate one under it was snagged from rosefyre.


Gryffindor. Are you suprised? Do you always get
this? Well, the answers weren't obvious so
maybe you really do belong here. I hope you
make your House proud.

Hey -- I like the hair.

We need to do something about the expression on your face, though.

How about reading this joke, then trying a new picture?

***

A man died and went to heaven.

As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

He asked, "What are all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."

"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."

"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?" St. Peter responded,

"That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."

"Where's Bush's clock?" asked the man.

"Bush's clock is in God's office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

I rarely smile in pictures. I don't photograph well.

Love the hair. It looks amazing.

You don't look vampiric pale to me, hon. I think you look pretty hot actually. :)

[tthjinni.livejournal.com]

I think it looks great, personally.

Hey echo, the hair looks great. This is Talisa, I was on ujournal under the name lamour... I don't know if you know me or not. I commented a couple times. Anyway, I have an lj now. Just thought I'd let you know. I'm adding you.

Love the hair. ^_^ And that's not vampire pale, hun. It looks pretty good with the hair, if you were tanned, say, it wouldn't look as good. Love the before pic as well, and the hat's fantastic! (Albeit a little pink, which I never admit to wearing. Nuh-uh)

Actually I think the hair looks classy.

OMG. You are Willow in that hat. Consider me freaked out.

I love the hair, before and after. You're not too pale at all.

And I want that hat!

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

I wear an awful lot of hats. I have SO got Willow beat on hat-wearing.

You're so ridiculous. You know that right?

Fanfic

I absolutly agree with the orginal fic/fanfic rant. Your original fic is original and fanfic is derived from someone elses world/characters. Now, if someone was to fandomize Shadowside...that would be fanfic...;)
