Neo's Home For Words

Ah, hey? 9 fic-writers? Yeah, just a few moments of your time, please.

Yes, the 9 universe takes place in an alternate timeline, an AU of our world, if you will. But please bear in mind, it also took place in the past. Yeah, those are some kick-ass machines, but it's more of steampunk style, not modern-day machine style.

Which means that there are no iPods, no laptops, no Gameboys. There is NONE of that stuff. The Stitchpunks didn't listen to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on earbuds connected to an iPod. So stop making them find this stuff, please and thank you.

Just watched Where the Wild Things Are -- bootlegged copy, as I couldn't find anyone to see it with me.

I'm glad I watched it alone, though. I like the effect. It's a rather personal movie.

( a movie, my family, thanksgiving, and general freewriting )

Author:ariadnes_string
Title: Two Boys from Kansas in King Uther’s Court, 7/7
Rating: gen, PG-13 for language
Characters: Sam, Dean, Merlin, Arthur, assorted BBC Merlin canon characters
Word Count:~6.6K, this part
Warnings/Spoilers: set mid-S1Merlin and mid-S1 SPN
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit.

Summary: The title pretty much says it all. And this:

“Thought we were doubling the watch tonight?” Dean said, after a minute.

“He nodded off.” Arthur gestured towards Merlin, who was indeed fast asleep, propped against his saddle, head canted back and mouth open. “Not used to hard marches. I’ll wake him in a bit.”

The darkness, or the isolation, or maybe what they’d seen together in the smallpox hut, seemed to have released Arthur from the shell of brusque arrogance he usually wore, and Dean could hear the warmth in his voice when he spoke of Merlin—a rough, protective affection that rang a chord in his own chest.

Part Seven

MASTER POST

Dear fictionwriters,

My problem is this, I've started writing a short story about a politician who gets mauled by werewolves (posted below the cut), and there's a point in it where I segue from discussing the Politicians emotional facade into him getting chased through a field by Werewolves.

Basically? I need fresh eyes, because to me it feels sloppy, but I don't know if that's because it IS sloppy, or if it's because I've just re-written it one too many times. In my writing I like introducing strange things and strange events matter of factly and I don't like patronizing my readers by spelling everything out, so I don't want to give a lot of build up to him being chased through the field by werewolves, but at the same time I started off by trying to introduce it after the attack; going from discussing his emotional facade to him lying on his back in a field while werewolves nommed his chest a bit, and it just felt like I was leaving too much out. So please, read, comment, give me your expert insight.

( As should be obvious, there's a little bit of violence here, nothing too graphic though. )

Ordinarily I'd insist that dialogue from two different speakers always goes in two different paragraphs. But when the two paragraphs in question look like this:

Merlin said "That's none of your business" at the same time as Will said

"Yes."

Or like this:

Feeling the panic rising he called

"Arthur!" just as Arthur bellowed

"Merlin!"

Since both examples constitute single sentences with paragraph breaks in the middle, I think we can make an exception to the new-speaker-new-paragraph rule, don't you?

And when it looks like this:

Morgana looked at Gwen, and said,

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you any of this." Then she turned to Arthur.

"Our fathers knew each other. [...]" Her voice was steady, but thick with anger and accusation.

That's one speaker. One paragraph's probably good. Failing that, think you could find some way to redo the paragraphs so no one has to reread them to realize it's one speaker, not two? Name the speaker in each paragraph, end the first paragraph with a line of dialogue that doesn't end in a quotation mark, something.

I am not exactly a member of your fandom, but I watched the movie. It was fun enough, in a Disney Channel way. However, your idea of an AU where Camp Rock was a special music camp for disabled kids had promise. The idea of Mitchie being blind and Shane having Asperger's and Social Anxiety Disorder was enough to make me want to read your fic to see how you'd pull it off, especially as I have a mild form of SAD myself.

ASDFGH

I don't even know where to begin, but let's start with the obvious. Someone would not go blind from getting soap in their eyes. Unless their home liquid soap dispenser is filled with some kind of soap/lye mixture. And if someone got soap in their eyes, the doctors would certainly not respond by SEDATING THEM AND LETTING THE ACID SOAP OF DOOM BURN THEIR EYES OUT because "There's nothing we can do for her".

...I mean the idea of a disabilityfic remix of Camp Rock set in some sort of postapocalyptic world where all medical knowledge has been lost is actually kind of cool, but I don't think that's what you were going for.

Clicking the back button before I get to the part about social anxiety disorder, thanks.

Hey everyone! I decided to make icons of vintage christmas cards for the quickly approaching holiday season!! I'm doing them in batches because I have way too many pics to make icons with... so I figured installments were better :P

Dear Pokemon fandom,

( Cut in case of triggers. )

So it's a pairing A/B fic - a the-end-of-the-world, apocalypse type of fic and, towards the later chapters, is hinted that Character B got infected and might die. Possibly.
You, reviewer, left a comment somewhere along the lines of,

"Oh I hope it's just a misunderstanding! But omg if Character B dies, then maybe Character A can finally get with Character C! After all, Character C is so shippable with those fluffy hair and puppy dog eyes that just make you melt! <333"

No, just - no. I appreciate you reading a story that doesn't have your OTP in it, but did you really have to put it that way? You make it sound like you want Character B to die just so A/C can happen. I can't say it's appreciated. At all. :(

Also,
"Summary: Please read I swear it won't take much of your time <3" does not entice me to click on the link at all. If you were trying to be cute to net you readers, well, you failed. Try again.
