Jan. 17th, 2006 04:16 amTop 5 Reasons I Like Sara:
1) She's incorrigible. And possibly also plucky. But definitely incorrigible.
2) She's straight up, vodka-style. But also frothy and fruity. It's a thing.
3) She keeps me in line with her Justin Icon of Doom (tm).
4) She can almost-nearly make me interested in reading AU popslash pornfic, because. Sara!porn. But I like her original!fic most ;p
5) I'm not merely a minion, I'm also a friend. Ask me how!
Top 5 Reasons Rachel Is Insane:
1) It's cuter that way.
2) She's afraid of Moore(cock).
3) The little kittins are sekritly in charge.
4) She calls her H/D fic "Draco/Blaise". It's okay, we understand. Acceptance is the first step to recovery. <3
5) She speaks my language (d'oh!) 'Tis the LANGUAGE OF PORN!
Top 5 things Harry and Draco get wrong about each other:
1) Draco thinks Harry has all the attention and love he could ever possibly need, never struggled for anything, is the perfect Gryff poster boy, etcetc.
2) Harry thinks Draco needs to be put in his place, and therefore deserves the hard knocks, full-stop. Most of the time.
3) Draco thinks Harry is invulnerable, these puny barbs can't hurt him, he has the ego of an elephant, etcetc.
4) Harry thinks Draco-- oh wait, he really doesn't bother to -think-, does he. He just automatically assumes Draco is Up To No Good, and must be Stopped. Because he's Pompous, Petty and Pointy. Which... he is, but.
5) Draco thinks Harry is to blame for everything. Really, he should stop whining (to his father, no less) and face some facts about himself.

4) James (HP)

Top Five Reasons Harry Should Be In Slytherin:
1) The only person he's more obsessed with than Draco is probably Voldemort (absolute obsession corrupts absolutely. heh.)
2) People would finally stop writing wimp!Harry fics (WHY PEOPLE, WHY??!) and Draco would so be his minion, because Harry is Just. That. Badass. SCORE.
3) He would be a really hot Dark Lord. Also score with the latent hero guilt.
4) You could have hot Harry/Ron rivalslash, ahahah (WHAT.)
5) To torture Snape. (*bows, bows*)

Date: 2006-01-19 04:16 am (UTC)I am now sort of stunned there's no Slytherin!Harry/Ron fic. What's wrong with fandom these days? Man.
I've gotten a few sequel demands since being in popslash, but I think that's mostly because they're all dirty perverts who just want more porn. Which is, eh, fair. Also, (and watch in awe as I conjecture wildly) I used to get more feedback like that in my earlier days in fandom in general, which I think is mostly because 1. I was interacting with more people who were newish to fandom and didn't yet know that asking for a sequel is fucking annoying, and 2. I just wasn't as good of a writer as I am now, and so my stories were not as carefully written (i.e. had less solid endings, didn't feel finished, were *too* open-ended to the point where it didn't seem deliberate) and sequel requests were slightly more understandable. However, I think it was a ratio of about 80% to 20% on that, so. Also, HP fandom has a much higher percentage of complete fucking retards than most fandoms, especially considering that you mostly write H/D, which is a pairing that is moron bait no matter how awesome it is.
It's really just a totally different vibe depending on what fandom you're in, and what you're writing (pairing, porn, gen, whatever). Bullshit aside, I still miss sometimes the amount of feedback I used to get in HP (or, more accurately, I see crap fics that gets pages of comments and think to myself I WOULD BLOW THIS BITCH OUTTA THE WATER if I only could be bothered to write HP fic anymore). Even if I actually probably still get more feedback than a lot of people, and thus really have no reason to bitch. Although that, of course, never stops me. :D *prances*
I will refrain from comment on the veela!Draco fic. Do you even remember that? The Potter-Malfoy-Granger-Weasley Household! OMG!
I know you weren't tryna playa hate, I was just giving you shit. *pokes you with stick*

Date: 2006-01-19 06:12 am (UTC)Ahaha, 'tis true about the retards, and also prolly about me writing open-ended things too much. Woe. Even so, you would think people could learn to -try- to be annoying when they're annoying. Hmf. I could also prolly write better endings more often if I had plots more often... ^^;;;; Then again, some of my favorite feedback is the flames I get on my R/G piece :D :D :D I'm still rather proud :D
I think one wants more and more (and more) feedback if you think of it as 'attention' or people giving you your due rather than 'ohhh, so you -read- it' mixed with 'oohh, so you think it doesn't suck-- oh, okay' (which is me). Like, if 4 people think you don't suck, it's reassuring, but you'd probably use betas for that basic reassurance instead :>
...I now miss the genius that was the Potter-Malfoy-Granger-Weasley fic :( I didn't realize it was enshrined somewhere online, ahahah. Y'know, some of my all-time favorite fanfic Moments of Porn (like on Saturday Night Live?) are for fics you'd never written~:)) Like that one with Harry watching Draco & Hermione against the door. Good times, good times >:D

Like that one with Harry watching Draco & Hermione against the door.
I do not remember that at *all*. Are you making things up again? Dude.
