Saturday

Much cooler, but THANK GOD the wind from hell has died down. Bright sun and blue skies today.

In the Okay, I Find This Funny category ... I've been uploading my fics to the Archive of Our Own, starting at the beginning and going forward. I'm almost finished with 2006 (and wow, some of my early stories were bad, chiclets) -- I uploaded 33 fics last night, and this morning, which ones have hits? Yep, the PORNY ONES. Made me smile, for real. Oh, fandom, never change. *g*

It's consistent throughout history that when there's some new technology or alternative method to distribute content, porn is inevitable, and usually the first thing on there.

[nightdog_barks]

This is undeniably true.

;-)

I am never going to get any hits on AO3. Heh.

[perspi]

*pats your head*

[nightdog_barks]

:-D

This was one of those instances where you really do say "heh" to yourself.

[topaz_eyes]

When someone writes the definitive history of the Top 100 Things About Internet Fandom in about 100 years' time, the first 99 of them will be porn. *g*

[nightdog_barks]

It really is amazing (now) to think that at one time, womens' temperaments were thought to be too delicate and sensitive for porn.

HA.

[blackmare]

Also women probably didn't have souls, and at best we were supposed to tolerate sex.

The modern age has more than its share of problems, but I don't think I'd trade it.

[nightdog_barks]

Heh heh heh. In Cold Comfort Farm, Stephen Fry plays a wonderfully obtuse character named Professor Mybug, whose favorite topic of conversation is whether or not women have souls.

:-D

[blackmare]

I caught the very end of that movie on TV once, not knowing what it was. I recognized Stephen Fry and I remember Mybug talking to a young woman with whom he had apparently decided he was in love. She didn't fall for it, and I recall there being something about an airplane but it's a bit fuzzy.

[nightdog_barks]

:-)

That was Kate Beckinsale, looking so lovely. And yes, there's an airplane at the end.

Sun? What's that? It's snowing AGAIN.
I don't remember you ever writing a bad story!

[nightdog_barks]

OH TAIGA YOU ARE TOO KIND.

*g*

Srsly, some of my early fics are full of stuff like "the older man," "the young oncologist," and more "Jimmy"s and "James"s than I can count. Oy.

[taiga13]

(snickers) Did you ever refer to Chase as "the blonde"? For some reason that's the cliche that always drives me insane, even if "blond" is spelled correctly (which it NEVER is). Even references to Foreman as "the black doctor" don't make me gnash my teeth as much as "the blonde doctor".
But those who can, write, those who can't, critique!

[nightdog_barks]

*g*

I don't think I ever fell into that blonde trap, thank god.

[blackmare]

Yes, but those are mistakes within what are otherwise pretty compelling little pieces of writing. You had some potholes; it didn't make the journey less interesting, just bumped and jostled a bit on the way.

If it bugs you, you can always correct those and, if you feel the need for full disclosure, add a note about having edited some of the mistakes that were glaring at you.

[perspi]

GRRRR it is now snowing here. And the Mr has been at work pretty much the whole day. ARGH.

[pwcorgigirl]

Today was clear and chilly. Miss V. and I went to the city west of here for a shopping trip and had a grand time, and then I spent the afternoon repairing the upstairs window with some wood I got on the trip. Corgiguy's so used to me making a racket fixing stuff that he didn't even ask what was happening with the sound of chiseling, sawing and hammering going on over his head. :P
