F-list-ness

[odycee]

Boy, do I have a lot of communities friended. I thought I'd pimp some of my favourites out to you all just in case you need more clutter on your f-list (some of them aren't actually comms but none of them are personal journals as such). And if there's anything you think I should be reading and I'm not, let me know. Actually, if there are any personal journals you think I should have friended let me know. Longer f-list = more procrastination material.

Fic
dogdaysofsummer: Look back through this comm for some gorgeous summer Remus/Sirius fic.
prankstersguide: Lovely R/S fic series. Funny and poignant.

Heeeeeeeeee. I had stumbled across daily_sporfle before, but never really looked at it. As if I don't already have to deal with enough bad writing for work, now I can enjoy this - which is far more amusing, at least!

[odycee.livejournal.com]

It's absolutely hilarious! I always feel a bit mean for laughing because they're probably 14. But then again, I could write better than that with both hands tied behind my back at that age...

[odycee.livejournal.com]

I replied to this and now my reply has disappeared!! Freaky. The gist of it was, it's funny! Even if I do feel a little mean laughing.

[odycee.livejournal.com]

And now my comment has reappeared. Damn you LJ. Damn you.

[elspethsheir.livejournal.com]

It's because we were mocking the bad writing of young'uns, right? I thought, Aha! Tricksy bad writers - the are deleting all of our mockery to make themselves feel superior.

Or something.

*puts on stoopid label* What does 'meta' mean?

[odycee.livejournal.com]

No worries! I had to look it up for the exact meaning.

From dictionary.com:

As a noun: something which refers to itself, especially in self-parodying manner. As an adjective: self-referential; referring to itself or its characteristics, esp. as a parody. From meta 'beyond'.

So metafandom has posts which analyse fandom.

I love that R2D2 icon!

[mellafe.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh. Because I've seen other people do "meta posts" and was clueless. I understand now. :P

Oooh, I want to be in shacking_up. I guess I'll just have to keep writing fic and hope that they find me and like me. :)

You forgot scarvsnhats, although I know it's not operational yet. Sort of a preemptive pimp. I can't wait till that opens. I finally feel that I could take part. :)

Oh balls and blast! I will have minimal broadband in October due to moving! *stamps* Dammit. I'll have to talk to the landlord about getting broadband asap when I meet him tonight.

Sorry, that was random.

Do you know, I've read all of prankstersguide now. I am very sad and also impatient for more.

[niennah.livejournal.com]

Er... scarvesnhats. lol

[odycee.livejournal.com]

Ooooh yes - I should have done some preemptive pimping. I'll make sure to do it closer to the time! You will have to take part. I demand it.

No broadband! How will you cope?!

I too was very sad to finish it. I do love the idea of it and the way that each chapter is thematic rather than chronological. I think the last one with Remus as a child broke me.
