Still not completely conscious...

[bjewelled]

So, I get friended by thaddeusfavour (*waves!*) and decide to do my usual snoopy-nosey thing I do when people friend me. In the course of which, I stumbled on this meme, which tickled me sufficiently to persuade me to have a go, and grant it a place on the list of the very few memes I've taken part in. So.

::waves back:: This is a cool meme, isn't it?

You know, I love your fic, but it was your general comments about fandom and such that pulled me in all the way. I've especially been thinking about your comments on "fandom in reverse". :P

Nice to know that my rants are appreciated, and you're very nice for not saying that I tend to go on a bit. :D

Honestly, half the time I'm attempting to start a flame war in my journal, except that people keep going and agreeing with me on the state of fandom. I seem to be on to something here. :D

Earth: Final Conflict

I am still holding out hope that some of those abandoned epic fics will be completed someday. Every few months I check the EFC section of ff.net or swing by my favorite authors' websites. It's sad, really.

Also, I LOVE this meme.

I have one EFC fic on the cusp of being completed, but I'll admit the lack of a fandom has meant there's not much pressure.

*sighs* I don't think I ever truly got over EFC. ;.;
