Isn't that a picture from The Secret Garden? I'm sure it's a picture from TSG. And oh, now I remember there was some TSG fic at last year's Yule I never checked! *whirls*
What's the deal with pro writers who don't like fanfiction?
I've always believed it's an us vs. them thing, personally. As if they want this barrier between pro and fanfic.
Is it just me, or are fics longer in the HP fandom?
There is more fics in HP? I should go and see. *nodnod* And, I don't know. I believe the average wordcount in HP is the same as, say, BtVS. For every novel-length story, there are around 20 medium-length and 100 fics - please let's not talk about ficlets/drabbles. lol!
Harry-16-or-older Snape/Harry
Lemme check. *sigh* Can't find it. There was coffee. and Horoscope. I may begin to bawl if I can't remember where it is.
Does the idea of the S8 BtVS comics make anyone else sad?
I'm not sure if 'sad' is the right word, but I'm not happy. I've never really rooted for a post-Chosen canon world. I dislike Chosen. I don't buy that SiTs becoming Slayers will solve anything and, personally, I'm not interested in a world full of Slayers (unless it was to see how there'll be ONE Slayer again)
Second reason, I love Joss's mind. I believe he's only a couple torture tricks below genius (or maybe the torture tricks are the way to his genius? *shrug*) But, the fact is that Joss working on the characters after the series end scares me. One word: Wash.
If you can't, can you at least recognize all the episode names?
BtVS1-2-3 and AtS5. Quiz me! Other seasons, not so much. Or, not at all, really. I have a handle of BtVS7 and maybe AtS4, but I don't manage them.
How many days after you post a fic do you feel like the fic probably got most of the fb it's going to recieve?
The day after, really. LJ is a place where, if they don't see it, they'll never will (unless you drop the link at different comms a week after the post). But, imho, the first 24 hours are it.
Hm. It is C&P (I'm used to coding for LJ as I write), add headers, post and then give a last edit.
A/N - Author's Notes, right?
Why are forced marriage fics so compelling?
Because they are bad situations that MUST turn good - come on, where have you seen one of these stories without a happy ending? The world will implode the day this 'forcedly married' couple does get a divorce (or if they do, if they stick to it!)

Real life doesn't have any MUSTS attached.
