Meme Lemming: Top Ten Fics
Apr. 23rd, 2012 08:35 amOh! A fic-meme that I can do! I don't write much -- certainly not as much as I would like -- and for quite a while I really didn't post my fics anywhere. Then I realized the foolishness of that, and got an account at both ff.net and a03. I still use both, mostly because I have no reason to hate either.
The ranking of the fics isn't that surprising, fandoms being what they are. The power of White Collar on ao3 can't be denied! Of these top 10 - 7 are White Collar and 3 are Leverage. Thankfully my 2010 Yuletide entry pulled in enough hits to make the top 10!
( See them behind the cut! )

- Sat, 14:22: @mosestaff Thanks! We'll get there now!
- Sat, 15:15: YAY! Found the right place! It turns out Minocqua/Woodruff area doesn't believe in signage, but we figured it out. Thanks @mosestaff!
- Fri, 16:51: Myr: Growing up is *so* overrated. Me: That's why it's not a choice, Sweathart.
- Fri, 22:02: This coughing, sneezing, chills stuff really sucks. Let's hope it doesn't like sleep and goes away by morning...
- Fri, 22:38: What's the point of going to bed early when you can't fall asleep?!
- Wed, 10:29: Yay for good news! We really needed some...
- Wed, 10:39: RT @ryanqnorth: FREE COMIC IDEA: a mom talking to a posh baby, saying "Vader is Luke's dad, Rosebud is the sled", passer-by says "I hate ...
- Wed, 23:00: @Finabair *hug*
- Thu, 15:46: I really just want to run away...
- Fri, 00:13: Can't sleep: The blankets are tangled, the pillows are lumpy and the uncertain future keeps whispering nightmares in my ears.
- Fri, 12:38: RT @CyprinellaJ: Well, I paid my tribute to Lotto, the God of Those Who Failed Statistics.
- Sat, 07:34: @lilattwilight Once you are up and have breakfst the grossness should go away! Although if its the weather, that may not help...
- Sat, 07:38: Good Morning! Here I am AWAKE when I could have slept in today.
Yeah, that's about it...
Mar. 7th, 2012 10:18 pmThere's a whole lot of stuff going on right now. I'd complain but that would just worry people or have them tell me all the things that I don't need to complain about...
This mood could be due to the weather, which isn't quite nice enough to be nice but still better than winter. Which, in a way, is much like the stuff going on in my life.
But I think a lot of it has to do with all the crap surrounding the election and re-call here in the state. I wish I could claim a side as the "One True Side". I really wish I could be a true believer for one side and go with it. But I can't. Everyone is throwing crap and claiming that they don't stink or pointing out that the "other side" is evil while they do the same damn thing they condemn the "other side" for doing.
I find it ironic that the very webpages that reek of sarcasm and deeming comments will promote ads for "anti-bullying" and "acceptance". Lets face it, most of the web celebrates bullies and mean-spiritedness. Sarcasm and belittling comments are the cash of the realm when it comes to most pop-culture and political websites. Somehow "cruel" has become synonymous with "clever" -- unless, of course, the comments are directed at someone or something we care about. Then it's just cruel, of course.
I can't work up a lot of passion for someone who is decrying how evil someone is for doing something that I have seen them do in the past.
Bad behavior -- nasty behavior -- mean-spiritedness and cruelty -- these things have an inherent quality of evil about them and they are evil no matter who the victims are. The worst thing isn't what this evil does to the people it's directed at. No. The worst thing is the evil that it does to the people who use it. It leads to self-righteousness and egocentric behavior. It makes you close-minded while believing that you are being accepting and open. It makes you judge people not based on who they are but on how many points they agree with you on. And it makes you hate people you've never met simply because they choose to believe something different than you. Which was, most likely, the behavior you were trying to condemn in the first place.
Yeah. Time to go to bed. No live TV or blogs for me tomorrow!
