Well today's sucked big fat red baboon ass, so I'm gonna whine and bitch for a bit.

I went to the doc today. Most non-fun you can ever have. There was a shot. To my hip. Hip hurts still. To further that... it made me nauseous. I threw up three times earlier today. Then my breakfast was spent, and it was all dry heaves. I hate throwing up and not feeling better after. It's a little after 6 PM here, and I am finally able to nibble on some crackers. So I'm pretty cranky.

I got this review telling me how much they liked "I Have Never..." but the part that sucked was that the Blaise/Luna completely overshadowed the Draco/Ginny and it wasn't REALLY a D/G fic. That made me feel a WHOLE lot better, let me tell you. I really dislike having to defend the choices I make in a fic. I didn't like battling about Tara/Sirius and Willow/Snape in "Drop" and I don't like having to explain things with this. Did no one get that the reason the B/L comes off so strong is that they have definite plans? Draco doesn't even know what he wants to do with himself, let alone a whole other person. How could I have tied him and Ginny so completely? Not everything has to be tied up so very neatly. I was fairly careful, I thought, to make sure neither pair got more screen time. Readers remember the B/L stuff more because they're so adventurous. That sort of behavior makes an impression, but I don't think the D/G of it is any less powerful.

The other thing is that I am getting tired of people already demanding a sequels to stuff. Not asking... demanding. I'm not writing a sequel to ANYTHING that I have finished in the last 2 weeks, and I think a lot of us know which two fics that means. I don't like being told that I am, in fact, NOT finished with a story and that I need to start a sequel in that particulat universe ASAP. I haven't responded to that mail yet. Not calm enough yet. But for those of you nice enough to ASK me if I was planning a sequel... thank you. Especially for those of you who were more than all right with my 'not right now's. I like being asked. Even if sequel a bad word to me right now. LOL.

Then add in the fact that I mailed someone an important question a while back and they still haven't gotten back to me... well my stress is up. Doesn't look like I'll be answering all the mails littering my inbox this weekend. I don't trust myself to be polite. The slightest things have obviously been setting me off all day.

Also, there is the fact that, yet again, it appears I will not be getting my fic for TtH's fic-a-thon on time. I even checked the other entries. I didn't see it there. *sigh* If anyone has written it, can you please mail it to me? I don't remember seeing it. *sigh* I really want a W/Snape ficlet. I fear I may have to write it myself to get it.

I think I'll lie down tonight and watch some TV instead of writing. I recorded The Scarlet Letter the other night. Maybe I'll watch Gary Oldman swim naked a couple of hundred times.

That should lighten my mood a bit.

I think you definitely deserve to coddle yourself a little. I hate needles. They are icky. Although I must admit I cope better with injections than with having blood drawn. Can anyone say fainting spell? You just snuggle up in front of your Gary Oldman nakedness and enjoy yourself. Don't worry too much about annoying reviewers.
Ciao

I for one am a HUGE fan of W/Snape fics. I even have "Cranky Pants" written on my cell phone.

...

What? It stuck in my head!

Spankerella - spoil thyself

Buffyrazz here, dear lady, Take yourself to whatever comfy, warm, supportive place you need - watch Oldman, watch Rickman - hell watch both and rest, recover and forget the whining masses (actually whining minors) who are plaguing your existence. Eat cookies, drink hot chocolate, whatever you need. Leave the inbox for a time.
And return to us all as the whimsical, witty, wicked (not evil ;) wonderful writer we adore.

hon, get yourself some soda water and some crackers, snuggle up with some Scarlet Letter, maybe a little Sense and Sensibility for them Snape-y cravings, and tell everyone to stick their whining where the sun don't shine. like where you got the shot (by the way, kudos to you, i would've run out). i was simply ecstatic to read part 20 of 'I Have Never', so, may i pretty please say...
I LOVE YOU!!!
feel free to get your crank on.

Okay, why do people still insist on bugging you like this? Honestly, if they're true fans, don't they know by now how much you hate demand-y people in regards to updating/sequel-ing your fics?

*hugs*

Eek on the trip to the doctors. While I don't really mind hospitals, they're not exactly on my list of favourite places, probably because my dad and nan are there most of the time. And I hate shots, with a passion. I don't mind it so much on my arm, but the hip? *winces*
Hope you get better soon. And like everyone says, indulge yourself a little on your favourite men and some rest.

Huh?

Well call me crazy but I thought the mix of B/L into a budding D/G relationship was pretty damn perfect. I can't help but be reminded of the effect "Drop" had in the fandom. Suddenly W/S fics were popping up left, right and centre until they are now one of the most popular pairings. A similar phenomena has occurred with "I Have Never": Greg Goyle is leaving behind the status of sidekick and Blaise and Luna are appearing in some fantastic fics around the place. I think you should feel proud for opening up our eyes to the possibility of these characters.

I actually liked the B/L best. Love your Blaise. Oodles of fun. And while I'm not against often-done pairings, e.g. D/G, unusual ones are more interesting, as a rule.
My two cents.

Oh you poor dear, I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. Hopefully you'll feel better soon. Have some 7up, some toast or crackers, curl up on the couch, and veg out. Forget about all the annoyingness of life right now, and have some time for yourself. And when you feel better, then deal with the demanding reviewers. Oh, and your TTH fic, if I knew how to write some really great Willow/Snape, I would write a fic for you. But my writing skills are just okay, hence why I didn't participate.

Hope you feel better and that your Willow/Snape fic is on its way.

I already said that I think you are right to feel cranky about the feedback which was as much positive as a thump on the back with a tyre-iron. You inspired me to write B/L, made me see Luna as far more than a potential foil to Ron's insane overprotectiveness and obsession with Hermione and gave Blaise character.

Spoil yourself this weekend, if that means no writing and just watching Gary Oldman swimming naked then sobeit...you have definitely earned the right to be selfish...

[goddessvicky.livejournal.com]

Blaise and Luna was great and anyone who doesn't think so is a poophead.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't get my TTH fic either. ::sigh:: I told Jinni I'd write someone's though because I want to help other non-fic getters.

I just got a shot too. Right in the butt. Well, not right IN the butt, but towards the top. Every three months. It keeps me baby-free. I still sore and Dan has this way of ALWAYS hitting it when we're walking or the like.

I say, if you REALLY want to feel better, you go and ATTACK Gary Oldman and make him fall madly in love with you and suck... um... JELLO off your toes. Yes. Jello.

Forget the little shits in your inbox

I really feel sorry for you about the little shits that demand updation. I myself have tons of unfinised fics (not all of them posted) and I know what it feels like when you really feel you should go on with a fic but you have absolutely no inspiration and you suddenly have this great idea that you absolutely must write.

It's really annoying. Anyway, snuggle up on the couch, chair, whatever with some crackers, if you feel you can eat them, some hot chocolate or tea or anything and watch some Gary Oldman.

I hope you feel better and work on your fics whenever you want and forget about the annoying people in your inbox.

Cheers.
