lirazel | OMG, y'all

I'm currently working on my manifesto for

het_reccers (don't worry; I'll link to it when it's posted), and IT IS SO LONG. Like, SO SO LONG. I've taken that post from a few days ago and cleaned it up and expanded it, and it is seriously the longest thing ever. I don't know that anyone's going to want to read it. Also, I'm endlessly paranoid that I'm plagiarizing by repeating things I've read dozens of times. So if you notice anything that looks too similar to something someone else wrote? Let me know and I will give them credit.

And I have so many recs, but that's okay because the mod told me I can have as many as I want! I've made up all kinds of cunning categories for them, but I'm feeling so guilty about all the ones I'm leaving out! Still, I'm hoping you all enjoy it when it's posted and also that some of you might find a few fics you haven't read before (this is a great challenge to me, considering my flist, but you never know!).

Anyways! I'm just overwhelmed and feeling like I'm never going to finish it because it's SO LONG.

Also, thank you as always for humoring me re: my breakdown the other day. I can't tell you what it means to me that I post whiny posts about my privileged life and y'all give me hugs and make me feel good. You are THE BEST. And I love you. I'm feeling more hopeful today.

[eta] Also, who's going to have time tonight/tomorrow to look this over for me for grammar/clarity/etc.? I don't trust myself at this point.

My Buffy fic-reading history consists mostly of gen- it sorely needs more shippy goodness. I am so looking forward to your one-stop Spuffy shop. :D

There's a lot of great Buffy gen out there if you know where to look, and it's certainly a show that lends itself to that sort of fic. But do not even worry! I have GOBS of fic for you! I can't wait to share it!

I can give it a look it over tonight or tomorrow. My classes start tomorrow afternoon, so I should get it some beta-ing while I still can. :)

Though obviously, if I want you to trust me with your words, I should be able to proof-read my own:

Thank you! If you want to PM your email address, I'll send it over when I finish it up!

And hee! I got a kick out of your self-editing!

Done!

Great! It'll probably be sometime tomorrow. I have to post the thing before midnight (I assume). And I'm really not looking for a whole lot of detail because I don't have time to really overhaul it. I just want to make sure that it's actually English and that I'm not leaving something out and that everything makes sense. I really appreciate it!

I am currently looking for ways to procrastinate because of the stress-inducing amount of stuff I have to do before I leave for the BFF's wedding week (old habits die hard). Send it my way, I'll give it a look and give my recs while I'm at it. And I have to kill a couple hours at the airport tomorrow anyway. I was planning on furiously looking up preemptive Season 8 wank, but this seems ~~much healthier~~ more fun.

It's wedding weekend! I hope you survive that AND the latest comic! It's gonna be rough for you, isn't it?

Do I even have your email address? I don't even know. Can you PM it to me? I will be very excited to get your thoughts, and I am pleased to contribute to your mental health in any way I can.

I'm excited to see what you rec! I hope you'll put a few of your own on the list. :)

It's gonna be a good list, I think! I'm not going to put any of mine on it, because I don't feel right about that, but maybe some people will stumble to my journal because of it.

I guess being modest makes sense. Maybe people will comment on your list and add their own links and maybe some of those links will lead to stories written by you. ;) What? It's a likely scenario. :D

I like the way you think!

Me! I want to help!

Well, of course. :D I didn't know if you'd be around for it, but I'll send it your way!

BFF! Beta friend forever!

I slept like ALL DAY today. I'm slightly worried by it. Like I feel really out of sorts. Not sick, but... depressed. Meh.

HELLS YES.

Ugh. I've been there, and that is not a good thing. Here's hoping it's just a temporary thing? I'm definitely the type who sleeps too much when I'm depressed.

Well, I see you have a good few helpin' yo out, but I AM ALWAYS HERE.

As for the length - exciting subheadings? :D

I'm so excited. I can't wait for the recs. I just finished rewatching the series, so now I'm back in "hungrily devouring fics" mode. I love that mode.

Also, you've got plenty of proofers, it seems. But if you ever need another, I'd be happy to help out. (I'm a copy editor for reals, yo. So, grammar/usage/whatnot is what I really like dealing with--less with the content unless you specifically want content thoughts.) Of course, my comments are hardly an endorsement of my abilities. The typos/bad sentence structure in my comments is truly shameful; they haunt me. I went to bed the other night, and I lie there, drifting off to sleep--when suddenly I thought, "I used a compound modifier in that comment, but didn't hyphenate it. Damn." The level of grammatical compulsion I've reached is a little frightening. I've thought about getting a pay account JUST so I can edit comments.

I'm apparently feeling chatty today. Look at me go on and on.

OMG, y'all
