I think I'm becoming emotionally blunted

[(Anonymous)]

(anon for obvious reasons)

Yesterday at work I had to see the result of an RTC pedestrian vs HGV with full skip (spoiler: even messier then you would think), and then I had to do six hours of work for another newbie where their half hour of work meant they got the numbers for it.

When I was bitching about my day to my flatmate I gave these equal emotional weight.

How does one obtain a beta?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so sick and tired of all the stupid shit fanfic in my fandom and I'm getting increasingly bitter about all that fanfic getting so much attention - yes I am petty - that I've decided to take a stab at writing again.

(Okay sure there's other reasons but honestly nothing fires my muse more than seething disappointment in the works of others. I am fix-it fic incarnate.)

Thing is, if I'm to get back into the game I need a beta. And I never needed to search for one before because I always had a close fandom friend to check it out for me. Now I don't and don't have the slightest idea of where to look.

Should I search for fandom specific ones? Or should I search for a general beta? I'm trying to improve my writing style so I'd need one who knows good writing flow/grammar/etc.

And this is just my introversion talking but I don't really want to create a writer/beta relationship or make friends or anything. I just want to plonk my fic down and declare open season and just have someone take it apart as needed. An english teacher if you will.

So, uh, yes. Help?

Hawkeye 2012. Spoilers.

I just finished number 10 and talk about kicking the dog. Grills was so nice! He was so normal and good-guy-ish. He reminded me of my daddy and now he's dead! I want to cry.

Talk to me about how awesome this comic is, FS. I'm not a big comic fan, but this might be my undoing.

Does anyone know of a good torrent/download of Frozen, or a way to work around Google's download restrictions?

Because I found a download here

(https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByeGvA7lNl12ZmZlOVJLQVQ4eUk/edit?pli=1)

but "Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time. Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently. Please try accessing the file again later." I did try the "view page source, then find the thing that's the largest size & open it in a new tab" trick, but no dice.

I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect personification of a trend I hate in modern liberals.

To summarise.

A top tier london gang nominal with direct connection to multiple murder cases, gun running, supplying class a and everything else that's a product of high level gang activity.

Who was in possession of a firearm until literally under a minute before he was stopped.

Who didn't surrender when stopped.

Got shot, being the first case of a fatal met police shooting in half a decade, despite tens of thousand of call outs a year, and the majority of previous victims of police shootings being white.

Shows that the met is instutionally racist, and that V53 shot him because he could, and all firearms officers are incompetent? Also if someone doesn't have a firearm in their possession, that must mean that it is the police acting as judge jury and executioner.

Small things in fic that drive you insane

[blunderbuss]

Be petty mothefuckers, F!S, and tell us the small things that make the record scratch play for you in a story.

1. Guys giggling. To me giggling is the light tittery laugh that girls make and thus I always imagine the guy making that sort of laugh. 99% of the time it doesn't work. Now, I know that 'giggle' is just a synonym for a laugh but to me it's a TYPE of laugh, like a guffaw or chuckle. So don't make a dude giggle unless he's that sort of guy.

2. Pop-culture references that are not already present in the original work. If you have your characters watch Insidious or love The Rolling Stones it just snaps me right out of the work. Firstly, it's because I will bet serious money that it's the writer who likes those things and is making the character like them, secondly it makes the fanfic dated super quickly, and thirdly it sometimes causes culture clash/confusion. Just because the fic is in english it doesn't mean that everyone will know the reference. Just use 'scary movie' or 'rock music'.

3. Actually, on that note, making cultural references specific to your country/culture/area and making no effort to explain what it actually is. No, I don't know what the 'colour guard' is and why a teenage kid would join it.

4. Homophobia being treated as just an obstacle between two tragic lovers and having homophobic people presented as eeeeeeeeevil moustache-twirling villains. Homophobia is horrific and has ended lives, I know this. That's exactly why I'd like writers to treat it with some measure of seriousness that it deserves rather than cheap melodrama for sexy boys that girls want to watch fuck. (And I swear to god if you use gaybashing or other serious hate attacks as an excuse for one character to 'realise their love~' then I will murder you.)

Weirdest misspelling you've ever made?

[(Anonymous)]

I was writing a thing about dystopian literature, and when I made a reference to The Hunger Games I somehow misspelled Katniss as Katstick. IDK how the fuck that happened.

This is my kitty. :3

I haven't been able to get a ton of good pictures of him; he likes to move around a lot, but I have been able to get some!
