ht_murraySorry it's not a snippet post. :( I am writing, just preoccupied. I think things will smooth out when I find out our bigbang post date and can get a decent timeline worked out in my head.
I forget why I opened this post box. I know it's not because I have two Dreamwidth codes to give away, because from the massive number of these posts on my flist, I'm pretty sure no one wants them anymore, LOL.
Oh, I know!
So, I get giddy when someone on ff.net favorites me, and I look in their profile and find not a single other SPN author on the list. I feel special. And then, the paranoia sets in... Why do they read my stories. Why do they not leave feedback? What if they're just stealing them to post in a non-SPN fandom knowing I'll never find it?
What do y'all think when something like that happens? Flattery or potential thief?
Oh, and someone, I won't mention who, since I don't much care to get beat about the head with branches, mentioned that they may have seen an SPN story with some scenes in it that were disturbingly similar to scenes from Derelict? Anyone else seen that? From what I heard, it's a Sam and Dean Gen story with a boat, and the story is mostly original, but the jellyfish and everything that comes after is scarily similar? Anyone? Anyone?
Ugh, I still have comments to answer from my last post, so uh, yeah... *is ashamed* I haven't forgotten y'all. But for now I have to go to work.
On another note, I have most of my important stuff backed up, so if my comp dies, it should be okay, but now I'm really antsy to get settled in on a new computer. *twitches* And I have a question. I have Microsoft Office on here, and all my editors require files to be submitted in .doc format for editing, so I need it on my new comp. But I do not use anything in the Office Suite except Word and sometimes Excel. Does anyone know if it's possible to install just one or two parts of the program? Also, I can't find the stupid key for the one I have, and I really can't afford to buy it again. I don't suppose it's possible to just take it off this comp and install it on that one?
This is all.
But I do have those invite codes if anyone wants them.

*pouty kitty face*

Date: 2009-05-17 10:55 pm (UTC)Though now I feel like a bit of a heel since all I really did was bum an invite code off you and didn't at least give anything back. Oh dear. Well, a freebie is most definitely owed to you.

Date: 2009-05-17 11:04 pm (UTC)Oh well, then I'd best get back to pie-making!Lucifer and foodie!Michael. ZOMG! I swear, I'll never look at Lee Pace the same way again.
Damn you, Pushing Daisies! *shakes fist in an exaggerated manner* Damn you and your sugar-candy-coloured awesomeness!
...though, seriously? Thanks bunches and bunches. XD

Date: 2009-05-17 11:44 pm (UTC)I added you to my alert last night and commented on one of your stories.
I don't know if it was me you felt weird about, but there's no reason to feel concerned if it was me. I was going through some ancient bookmarks and found one of your stories which led to your profile, so on and so forth. I'm not very active on ff, so you might have seen little evidence of interest in other SPN authors, but I subscribe to several even though they aren't on my favorites list.
Personally, I have yet to experience theft, either my own work or work of someone that I interact with a lot, so I think that is why I don't experience a lot of concern over my work being taken. However, I have never posted original stuff anywhere, because I do feel that worry that it will be snatched up.

I'd have to read the begining of the story to remind me which one it was but I don't spend anytime on ff lately since it's been over a year since I wrote a wincest. Which I really have to remedy soon.
