I already don't remember the spirit of the stadium.

Get a CatCam, then. The point is, we need to know where the Moosey-Moose goes. Does he cross the street? Does he haunt the back field? Are there too many men in the backfield? Questions.

I feel more deeply ashamed after snarfing a package of Oreos. It's not a feeling I covet.
Just because I know a cliche is trashy doesn't mean I don't want to read it. When my NaNo was bogging down I put in an Oh No Only One Bed. Use the purple dragons.
Nothing I write will ever be published, silly. That would require revision, unless I wanted to join the true lowest echelons of self-published garbage. I never want to sink to the level of Chosen ~ A Djinn Wars Novel.

It was used to make hot dog foam. A light, fluffy pink foam to be served on bruschetta. The color was horrific. The texture looked horrific. The judges liked it.

It was some dude in a cape. We saw him at a drum core event.

I would be too traumatized if Moose crossed the street. It's better if I never know.

But... Oreos.
You used Oh No Only One Bed with a giant centipede? I am disturbed. No centipedes in the bed.
I will revise it for you. Give it to me. Don't tell me any of your intentions while writing it. You won't even recognize it when I'm done.
What's wrong with Chosen ~ A Djinn Wars Novel? It sounds great.

I don't think I really wanted or needed to know that. I'm sorry I asked.

Watch my concert tonight? 7:30 CST. No Christmas music, and we're going first.

Ah yes. The memory resurfaces.

But you could respond by never letting Moosey out of the house again. Protect your Moosey. Or learn how many helpless mouses he eats without bringing back to the house.

Giant centipede-people (centipeople?) deserve to have beds, especially when the bed is theirs and they're helpfully sharing it. Don't be a bigot.
You will never get to read my writing. We both know this, so why do you bother with these foolish ideas? It will remain unrevised forever, and ever, and ever, if it even gets completed.
It was not great. It was the opposite of great. The first third was a straightforward plague-apocalypse, the second third was an incredibly boring romance novel about playing house in a luxurious survival bunker, and the final third was a sudden swerve into urban fantasy. There was also one of the most cringe-inducing portrayals of a Native American character who (surprise!) turned out at the end to be a magical being only pretending to be Native American. And the main character, who spent most of the book being stupidly pigheaded about things that didn't matter, was suddenly forgiving and compliant when the "hero" revealed that he had been lying to her and treating her like a housepet for the entire story, because he *loved* her so much. I am still filled with so much rage for having read this thing. It wasn't even technically bad. It was just bad.

I will watch it. Yes. Send link.

He'd be the absolute worst. He needs time to cool off by himself outside.

Am the worst centipede bigot. Can't be stopped.
The only way I would show you this year's NaNo is if you showed me yours. That is the only acceptable trade. Do you now understand my feelings towards what I have produced this year?
So it was technically good but bad from every other perspective? Intriguing. And how does a Magical Native American not make this better? Wait, what were they doing in a book about djinn?

I think it is this:

Good concert, friend. What was the first piece? Where did we play it before (or was it just me)? When the camera zoomed in on Prof McCann, I could see you making faces on stage.

But Mercha, that's not fair! Fanfiction is written to be seen by others. Original fiction is written to never, ever be seen by anyone. I don't even know why you would want to read original fiction, since it's about randos you don't know, whereas fanfiction is great because it's about characters I already know. Give it to me.
Somehow, yes, it was technically good. There were even passages that were enjoyable, because they were genuinely well-written. It was just also a terrible, terrible thing. The Magical Native American turned out to be a djinn in disguise, who had spent a lot of the book sharing a bunch of uncomfortable opinions about Native Americans... for reasons, I guess.

Watching the Project Runway reunion show. So much drama.

Thank you. First piece was Overture something something. I had not played it before, so maybe you did in high school or when we were in different bands. I never make faces on the stage. That was someone else.

There is lots and lots of fanfiction that is never allowed to see the light of day. If we do not make this trade, then mine is one of those fanfictions. There is nothing you can say to change this fact, other than "Okay, here is my story. Read the thing."
That's a surprise. Usually good writers don't write terrible things, because they also take the time to research to make sure they don't do terrible things. Weird.

Why are you watching it? What on earth did you hope to gain by watching it?

Give my regards to the other short-haired bassoon player who was wearing your clothes, then.

Do I have to finish it for this trade to be valid? Can we exchange on a chapter-by-chapter basis and whoever runs out of chapters to give first loses?
Sometimes writing skill is squandered on people who take no steps to not be the worst. Life is not fair.

I am trash and I live for drama. Also, it was occasionally heartwarming, and Tim Gunn never lets it get too nasty.

For some reason I've been struck by an incredible urge to read Star Trek: Voyager fanfiction. I haven't done so yet, because I'm kind of busy, but the urge persists.

I can't talk to that person. We are never in the same room at the same time.

I didn't split mine into chapters, so I would be at a distinct disadvantage. I would split it up arbitrarily if you really want to do it that way.
It me! It me!

How heartwarming are we talking? I'm not as trashy as you in that regard. Should I watch it? Give me the highlights.

Just read it. Give in to the temptation. I've been waiting all month to get back to my fanfiction, and it's gotten to the point where I am craving SG:A again. And Hannibal. Why?

I didn't technically split mine up either, but I think I have enough scene breaks that chaptering it wouldn't be difficult. You do have scene breaks, right?
It not you, unless you've been secretly self-publishing garbage behind my back. And I know for a fact that you do ridiculous amounts of research when you feel like it.

The only real drama was dealing with the Claire-Shawn situation. If you can handle a few minutes of that, the rest of it was mostly designers being nice to each other and happy with their experiences. A few of the star models of the season got to come out and talk about how they felt. Kentaro and Brandon were adorable bros. Amy got to be the team mom again.

With fandoms I know less well, my quality standards kick into high gear and I spend even more time perusing summaries without reading anything. It's a problem. I bother me.
I cannot explain your love of reading for fandoms you know nothing about. Only you can answer that. What character dynamics does Hannibal offer that you can't get anywhere else?

I was reading a sewing pattern review and one of the comments spelled the word "successful" as "sacsesfool". I was deeply moved. It was amazing.

Too many scene breaks, actually. It would be many small chapters.
You don't know my pseudonyms. What if I wrote the djinn story?

Seems like if you get thrown out of the competition for cheating, you don't need to be included in the recap show. We did not watch it; we finished season 5 and started season 6, which I've already seen.

I don't mind taking a little time to find something good. I'm apparently much better with the AO3 filters than you are, so maybe it's easier for me.
Well, there is always the chance that he'll give up and eat the other characters. With fava beans and a nice chianti. That's pretty unique.
Which unknown fandoms do you read?

That is a very sacsesfool spelling. Approved.
