Vent ’n whine

Re: Vent ’n whine

[(Anonymous)]

I like having feelings about fictional stories to a certain degree, but sometimes I get so invested in a random piece of fiction that I have emotions over it even when I’m not reading/watching it, and I really wish I could turn that off. I don’t need to be worrying about whether character B will ever forgive character A when I’m busy trying to get through my life.

It's almost kind of fortunate that a friend of mine who also has health issues recently went through a weird situation during medication adjustments where he literally couldn't fall asleep for a week. Makes me more inclined to believe I'm not going to die from getting like an hour or two a day for the last week, and however long it takes for my bun to stop rolling over and flailing so often.

I know it's worse for the bun than me but omg I am so tired and I wish I thought I wasn't going to be up all night with him again. (Better than going to sleep peacefully without him here, though. I will take the constant interruptions. Just. So tired.)

My car died. Now i have to find a replacement. Car buying on a small budget is fucking STRESSFUL AS FUCK, especially if you're not a 'car' person and don't really know all that much about them.

God's teeth.

minor compared to what a lot of people here go through but a store in my neighborhood that I really liked just went out of business yesterday.

Something is wrong with me today. I've had two panic attacks. And I keep walking into things. I just in fact probably broke a toe walking into a cement step in our garage. No idea what is wrong. I am pretty overtired, which I'm sure is contributing, but I feel like there is something else too. I just don't know what.

The second half of my workday was shit. So it's bad enough I'm literally only working Saturday because my bastard of a boss cut my hours to nothing til I agreed to work a weekend day .but I also am scheduled an extra hour on that day.

I'm assigned to stand and check recipts which is a job that due to my ADHD is a nightmare that makes me wanna pull my hair out in chunks . So I'm standing there screaming in my mind and trying not to show it. I'm also beating myself up bc if I'm so weak I can't do this simple job , do I even deserve healthcare anyway ?

And I just think about how the world doesn't seem to give a shit about mentally ill people . I didn't ask for four fucking mental conditions at once! Ive dealt with varying degrees of bullshit through my life . And I people all over the internet mock and dehumanize people like me.

Maybe I'm thinking too much but rn the world seems so shit and hopeless.

I was about to go to the laundromat a few hours ago, but my cat got out again and immediately ran for it. I tried spritzing the bushes with the hose to flush her out, which sometimes works, and the hose split in half and soaked me. She ran in the neighbor's yard and hid in a junk pile, but not before scratching my hand to bleeding.

I went back inside to wash my hands and get bandaids and iodine, brushed my teeth, and somehow lost my flipper retainer (I'm missing a front tooth). When it's not in my mouth it normally lives either next to my toothbrush or at my bedside. I've spat it out in my sleep before and had it get stuck in my hair, and once to my (long-haired) cat.

My house is a nascent hoarder heap inside, but my neighbor's yard is a hoard in full flower, with surf boards in the bushes, a dead van, rusty wire shelves, mysterious hulking things under tarps, random creepy heaps, and two buff 6 foot anthropomorphized sharks on surfboards, one upright and one slowly being eaten by weeds. Neighbor owned or owns a surf shop.

My cat vanished under a tarp. I live close to a zillion bars and have seen animals get run over on my street.

So now I'm worried that my cat might be hurt and also maybe have my retainer stuck in her fur. I hope she comes back uninjured by tomorrow morning, and also that I find my tooth.

I'm still drying off from my hose soaking and a neighbor's cat just wandered in because I've left the doors open and he's making itself at home on the couch. He's lost his collar again, and he's shedding fleas. His collar had no tags so I'm not sure who he belongs to. I hope he didn't lose it in a fight with my cat.

At least so far the only thing to come in is the (wrong) cat, and not a possum, but the night is young, sigh.

Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

[(Anonymous)]

Why or why not?

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. Because I know how painful it is not to have a beta.

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

[(Anonymous)]

Only if they improved very, very, very rapidly

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

[pantswarrior]

Depends how they respond to concrit. If they were actually hostile when I pointed stuff out or made suggestions, then no. If they considered my advice and tried to get better - or even if they didn't, if they were a very good friend, just as long as they didn't get pissy - then sure.

I think I'd make a crappy beta anyway so we'd probably be well-matched. :D

Someone please beta for me. I'm the friend who writes badly. orz

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

[(Anonymous)]

It depends on what the friend wants. I have a friend who wanted me to beta her fic because she wanted to improve her writing, but after I gave her some constructive criticism, she told me that all she wanted was for me to tell her what I liked about her fic. I don't think she's a bad writer, but she's very new and her plot, pacing, and POV were all over the place. It was very hard to only give her feedback on what she wanted and not tell her that her story was confusing because it was all over the place. Then I felt kinda bad thinking that because it's not like my writing's gold and we all start somewhere, but it just wasn't a good reading experience.

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

I would help with SPAG stuff and that's it. Maybe explain grammar rules and spelling if needs be.

But I wouldn't touch characterisation, plot and pacing with a ten foot pole. Way too much work and you risk losing the friendship over hurt pride.

Either they will naturally improve the more they write and/or read or they will just remain mediocre and realise they're not getting kudos and comments.

Only after a very good long chat over cocoa and cookies.

Then a trial run of a chapter. And if it goes well... one thing at a time.

Communication is the key when betaing.

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

[(Anonymous)]

Sure! As long as it's bad in a fun way. I'd tell them when my faves are OOC and pay zero attention to characters that I don't care about. xD I'd also proofread.

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't beta for anyone because I can never think of things to say.

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

[philstar22]

In the past when I had the time, sure. Now, though, with a new full time job, I can't even do my own writing, much less help someone with theirs.

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

[(Anonymous)]

If they are a really good friend and genuinely want concrit so they can improve. Otherwise, no. I'm not going to lie and praise writing that I believe is bad, even for a friend.

Re: Inspired by 5: Would you beta for a friend who writes badly?

Yes. I've done writing groups before, so...

Any Steve/Danny recs? They're my comfort read and I'm all out of reading material for them.

Any fandom- need you now PWP

[philstar22]

I'm looking for PWP/explicit fics where the characters are just really horny and really desperate for each other. Maybe they just pounce on each other. Maybe there is little to no foreplay. Maybe they've been imagining the sex all day. I just want desperate characters.
