write a second verse yourself

I just put the crazy space incest I wrote as non-con that readers told me was in fact not non-con due to the narrators being unreliable up on AO3.

I do, firmly, believe in the validity of multiple interpretations and that authorial intent is dead. I was completely not snarking off at all when I prefaced the summary with "As the author, I feel ill-equipped to tell you what this story is about."

I mean, I think it's funny as hell, but I am totally serious.

ETA: tags I have been amusing myself with: Nietzschean relationship logic, canonical AU, extreme Highlander AU, character undeath

ETA: So I found an entry circa the s3 finale of Andromeda where I noted they were TOTALLY cribbing off stuff I'd written a year ago and then suggested they bring back Telemachus Rhade, if they were taking suggestions from me. Dear everyone who still cares about Andromeda: I am so so sorry. I didn't know I was using my powers for evil!

assorted thoughts

I am dying of allergies. Seriously, zyrtec-D is the only thing that makes my life worth living right now. And sucktastically as well, the sniffling and the watery eyes mean I constantly feel like I'm on the verge of crying. That plus general failure to cope makes me feel like I am constantly breaking down.

I am frustrated with my headspace about Supernatural right now. I'm starting to come out of the fruitcake obsesso place and wake up with the "did you get the number of that truck?" hangover about the last few months and I don't want to, quite yet, I want to actually write and vid a lot of the bunnies I have hanging around. I think part of the problem is that I don't deal well with week-to-week viewing of a show, as opposed to binging. It's killing me to play will I be jossed, will I be kripked, instead of just mainlining. (I realize normal people just watch shows this way. Hi, I'm not normal.)

So I have a plan. I haven't decided if I'm going to implement the plan yet, because there are drawbacks to the plan. But the plan is: I don't watch between now and the season finale, and then I get to mainline the last, what, five or so episodes. In between I would watch older stuff (I still haven't finished watching season 2!) and then when I get to mainline season end, I think I'll get a resurgence of fruitcake interest without the stop and go stagnation frustration I'm getting now.

Drawbacks: I'm actually looking forward to the next few episodes, based on spoilers. Not sure I have the patience. everysecondtuesday, grey_bard, and echan would have a hard time talking to me without spoiling me (though considering how much I've been trawling imdb and youtube, maybe that would be okay? I could just be not-watching-spoiled until I mainline). And then, I don't know, there's vid considerations. Which is totally the last thing on my list because I'm still on waitlist for vvc and feel weird submitting stuff if I'm not going and honestly, vvc is going to be "I'm spending $500 to hang out with some people I like," as opposed to the other thing.

I keep turning myself around on that, too. I had one idea I thought I was doing for challenge and it occurred to me in like, the past two hours, that the drawer vid might be even MORE challenge-suitable. So there's like, three or four things I want to take to vvc. I mean, I guess just in that "to show my friends" way.
