Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The Shipper

Slash, pairings and Playboy plot bunnies.


You are very likely female, and you very likely examine characters for their "slashability". Though you insist that your stories don't circle around love and sex between attractive characters, they do.


It is also likely familiar to you that at a certain point in your story, a character (or more) discovers that he (and rarely even she) is gay, and starts a relationship with another character.


Your fanfiction meets the taste of many, especially if your pairing happens to be between two attractive males that are straight in canon.


You probably wrote something about Harry Potter falling in love with Draco Malfoy, Legolas starting a secret romance with Aragorn or Obi Wan being a sex sklave of Han Solo. If not, you probably still consider to do it.

okay. well. I'm usually all for het, but I'm a total slasher for Hetalia (oh the irony of slashing things in a fandom with "het" in the name)...

The Eclipse script has been 'leaked'. Yeah, "LEAKED", I'm sure it was a TOTAL ACCIDENT. Just like Midnight Sun.

A GLORIOUS EXCERPT:
Bella's cocooned in her bed in the dark. Edward lies next to her, her mother's QUILT between them.

BELLA
... How to explain why I won't be home for Christmases. Why I won't visit.
Why they'll never see me again.

EDWARD
After a few decades, everyone you know will be dead. Problem solved.

HOW ROMANTIC.

Also, the script uses smiley emoticons. :] AND HAS AWESOME MOMENTS LIKE THIS:
MIKE
Time to dance, Bella. Don't make me get my robot on.

ERIC
You wish your robot looked this good.

Mike and Eric start a robot battle.

Oh my god I hope this script is for reals.

Title: Hard Sell, Epilogue
Author: Zelda Ophelia ([info]zeldaophelia)
Fandom/Character: CSI:NY; girl!Flack (Dawn Flack), Stella, Mac
General info: Genderbender; Not mine; T

Summary: Pre-series. Dawn Flack (not a junior, though everyone wants to add that on) is finally getting her first solo case, without her training partner to tag along. But when one death becomes three with little evidence, she's needs all the help Mac and Stella can give her to find this guy.

From weather.com's National Weather Forecast:
Snow and strong winds will engulf the Midwest with a renewed batch of arctic air following close behind through Thursday.

Accumulations of 3 to 6 inches (locally up to 8 inches) are possible along the path of this latest winter storm. Cities included are Omaha, NE, Kansas City, MO, Des Moines, IA, Moline, IL, St. Louis, MO, and Indianapolis, IN.

Moisture from Lake Michigan will enhance snowfall in the Milwaukee, WI, to Chicago, IL. corridor. Total accumulations of 8 to 12 inches are in the forecast for Thursday.

Behind the snow, strong winds gusting between 30 and 40 mph will develop through the Plains by tonight and spread eastward to the near the Mississippi River Thursday. Blowing and drifting snow is likely to lead to dangerous travel and the potential for near-blizzard or blizzard conditions in some locales.

Bitter cold air will keep the mercury from rising above zero in the Dakotas, northern Nebraska and western Minnesota Thursday. Wind chills will bottom out in the -20s, -30s and even -40s across these states.

Farther east, highs will range from the 0s and 10s in the upper-Mississippi Valley to the 20s in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.

By Friday morning, lows from Kansas and western Missouri northward to the Dakotas and Minnesota will be below zero. The coldest readings, -20s and -30s, are expected in the Dakotas and northern Minnesota.
If you know any elderly people who live alone, even if you only know them casually, try to check in on them. A phone call should suffice, but if you can't get an answer, please consider making your way to their residence. This kind of weather causes a lot of preventable deaths, just like extreme heat does.

So, I miss out on a bunch of stuff when it comes to LJ and whatnot. But this one I haven't!

Apparently there's a little coupon I can send to people to get a paid account for $10 instead of $20! Does anybody want one?

It signs you up for an automatic payment plan but once you've purchased the one year you can just disable it. And it can't be used to renew but if you were thinking about upgrading then here's always an option.

Let me know by the 15th!

To the reviewer who responded to a slash fic:

Please don't post a paragraph-long, homophobic rant about how much you're SO disgusted and dissapointed at the slash pairing, and then stick in the sentence: "I don't actually have anything against gay people in real life." If you're homophobic, FINE. There's no need to be a hypocrite as well.

This is about a manga but the same thing pisses me of in every fanfic it popped up and I have to read because I like the pairing and I want them to get together again. Do they really have to make them so stubborn, so that a bit of drama comes in the story?

I'm freaking out!

Bitching about a stupid Girl who breakup with her teacher-boyfriend because of his ex girlfriend and a idiot Teacher who let the girl go and doesn't talk to her even though he is innocent and love her and know she loves him and shit like that. In fact, I'm talking about a manga I'm reading. Warning: Much cursing! I can't help it. )

I am so glad you wrote this pairing; it's one I adore and a rare one even in its already-rare fandom. I am not so glad about how you wrote them.

First, she's something of an innocent in sexual and romantic things, and he likes the parts of her that are innocent and wouldn't want to ruin them. You said this in your fic, actually, which was Doing It Right. Having them shrug this off after a couple paragraphs and sexor randomly anyway? was Doing It Wrong.

Next, she's not going to jump into bed with... anyone. It would never "just happen" as the fic said, and certainly not because she initiated and wanted it. She is the type of person who has other priorities, is not sexually experienced, and would need to develop some sort of real connection first, which they don't have at this point and you did not develop or explain in the fic. Oh, and she slapped him for trying to touch her in canon. Jumping into bed with him in a fic set in the same episode? No.

Now let's get to the sex itself, because that's sexy. Only, not. It was written like very awkward teen sex. This would actually be a refreshing change from most smut fic and fit for her, but the problem is that you made the awkward all about him. He is pretty much the opposite of an awkward teen; he is confident and self-assured and suave; not to mention mature enough to be a mentor figure and a leader. You could convince me he's not sexually experienced if you went from a 'he'd be too demanding and not consider anyone good enough and worth the chase' angle, but you cannot convince me he'd be made of awkward fumbling.

Last, he is a very emotional person, yes. But these emotions are kept very firmly internalized. When they start to threaten to affect his judgment, we see him do anything to shove them down and act only according to his rational goals and motivations. This? Does not really describe the sort of person who'd cry over having good sex and suddenly be in touch with the emotions he's been denying so well that even he is unaware of some of them. (Healing vagina instead of healing penis? Should we count that as novel?)

You wrote a long, supposedly plotty fic with what appears to be an amusing storyline and everything. I won't know for certain because I won't be reading it. Why in the world, after a good lead in and summary, do you feel the need to bash not only a secondary character, but the actress who plays her in your author's notes?

This was discovered at work today. Yes, we were obviously all on task and laboring hard. :) Seriously, though, it made me double over with laughter, so I thought I'd share.

Puck should probably not be described as "sweeter than usual."  This implies that he is usually sweet.  That's kind of like describing Sue Sylvester as "more reasonable than usual."

 

On the other hand, given that in this fic he is - without any development or explanation - the ~best boyfriend ever~, just slightly gutter-minded, likes being called Noah, and enjoys going for long walks in the park with Kurt while holding hands and talking about their future children, that phrase really isn't a problem at all.

 
 
This is the scenario that I encountered in a otherwise (semi)decent fic.

This guy had an accident. Apparently he has burst his aorta. It's very tragic, especially when he passes out in his saviours arms. He's taken to a hospital for he needs emergency surgery.

But, oh! There has just been a major car accident so the blood bank are depleted. And our hero has the rare blood type A+ so his parents are called in so we can find out which one of them can donate to our anaemic champion.

But there is a deep dark secret lurking! His father is not the real father! The suspense is immense. The real father finds out about our brave mans plight and freely gives of his life blood. Anonymously, of course. We would not want the reveal to happen to early, do we?

Now let's take a moment to talk about all the points in which this story fails: )
