Me in junior high: We have calculators for a reason…
Math teacher: Do you really think someday you’ll carry around a calculator everywhere?
Me:
Math teacher: Exactly.
*10 years later everyone has phones with calculators*
Me: I win.
I’m a math teacher, and that anti-calculator argument has always annoyed me. Despite what many people think, calculators are not...

Whoa , I suddenly got several kudos on a random one-shot HP fic I wrote in 2004. WTF? It’s not even a big pairing; it was Harry/Fred/George, and Harry was *cough* really young in it, so. Yeah, kind of wondering where that got recced. Or wanked, as the case may be. :-P

weasels-king-henry asked: Okay... sorry, I know I've messaged you about this before, but once again, my own mother has been pressing me to ask- do you plan to continue with Alternate and Missing Scenes (Sorry, sorry, sorry for asking, it's none of my business. I just promised my Mum I'd do it to shut her up -_-)

25 Things You Should Know About Outlining →
terribleminds:
“Every [writing] process you choose should be in service to getting the best story in the way that feels most… well, I was going to say comfortable, but really, comfort is fucking forgettable in the face of great fiction, so let’s go with effective, instead.”
“No one process for planning your story is going to work. What works for me won’t work for you. Hell, what works...

There is some Spanish football team staying at this hotel, and the lobby is full of fanboys waiting for a glimpse and an autograph. Some have been sitting in the lobby for days, wearing team shirts and holding signs and keeping their cameras at the ready. So really, it’s not so different from fangirls. Only they don’t get mocked for it.

and if i die today...: emmagrant01: Just finished... →
emmagrant01:
Just finished an amazing book that left me full of feels, and I thought, “Surely someone’s written fanfic for this?” All excited over the thought that there might be more, I hustled over to AO3 and then FFN — but no, nothing. :-(
Dammit. I guess I’ll add it to my Yuletide…
If you read it and want to flail about it with someone, let me know!

WriteWorld: “Why?” She said questioningly
referenceforwriters:
I really really really want to know why. Why do people say we can’t use adverbs? I’ve read books and they use adverbs. What’s with adverbs really? By the way, i love you blog—it’s been said many times already but there’s nothing else I could do to make you happy but know it....

Why do girls still list ‘Lord Of The Rings’ next to things they are interested in? Do they not realise guys haven’t seen that as ‘edgy’ or ‘attractive’ since about 2006? The fact you enjoy one of the most successful book/films of all time does not make you stand out, alright? Now, If you’d write how much you love the...

genresaurus asked: So, er, the new Trek was kind of a let-down and I need to reaffirm my faith. Can you recommend meaty TOS fics that showcase the best aspects of the show? Kirk/Spock desired but not required. I just want to feel good about this franchise again. :/

I am SO fucking angry right now, i cant even talk.
This person took this (x) fic of mine, changed the character names and posted it as their own here (x), people disgust me
There’s also a part 1 to the plagiarized fic, which was apparently stolen from Ladielazurus. There are 5 other fics on that account. I wonder who else has been plagiarized?

The more I think about STID (and read other fans’ insightful commentaries), the more disappointed I am.
And the more disillusioned I am about JJ taking over Star Wars… Ugh.
