Note to Self

Dear Sadistic Brain

Yes, you're doing very well with not inventing more human bad guys for the stories, you know the ones even I could take out without my super powers (yes, Eve, I'm looking at you). However, substituting human bad guys with ghosts is NOT helping. Buffy/Faith/Connor etc can not hit a ghost. Now you've gone from big bads they could take out without trying to ones they can't even fight. STOP IT. I'm getting tired of trying to rationalize how to fight ghosts.

Thank you,

Me.

On the other hand are my endings SO weak that you can't tell when a story is over? Am I going to have to put THE END on a story so the people at FFN get the fact this story is done? And even when I have actually done that people still don't get it. Why?

Oh and this is also a day late GIP. Thanks to absentego for the cool Com's Interest icon.

I wouldn't get usset over anything people say at FFN. Most seem to have non-workin brains.

I can't wait to read Forgiven not Forgotten, although I'll be out tonight and all weekend, so it will have to wait a few days.

I'm not upset per se, just bemused. And yes, I've come to that conclusion as well which just disturbs me.

No rush, on Forgiven. It's kinda long anyhow. Have fun over the weekend

It is a cool icon. I'm going hiking this weekend.

Probably without ghosts.

Have fun hiking. I'm jealous. I have to be the slave for Mom/Dad's 40th anniversary party slash Dad's retirement party.

A ghost would be welcome

Just make sure it's a family ghost.

You know I could probably arrange that.

LOL You and your human bad guys and/or ghosts. Poor superheroes.

And on the endings thing, well over half the reviews I get at FFN are Please continue! Please Update!

I'm like uhm...no it's over. Really.

cornerofmadness on July 15th, 2005 03:18 pm (UTC)

seriously. I'm beginning to wonder about the average reader over at FFN that they can't recognize an ending.

ANd yes, my superheros are just not having a good time of it in my stories. Even in the new Connor/Dawn thing it's a ghost. sob.

Yeah, but a ghost villian could be all metaphorical for...for...something.

yes I suppose it could. Actually if I worked at it, it most certainly could in this case because of the type of ghostie involved

Which is probably why you thought of it in the first place. The mind works in mysterious ways.

cornerofmadness on July 15th, 2005 05:09 pm (UTC)

there is that. Part of the setting was inspired by my trip to the lake during the fourth and lakes are FULL of ghosties and ghoulies

p.s. look at my new layout

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

masqthephlsphr on July 15th, 2005 05:13 pm (UTC)

I was going to scold you for getting rid of that wonderful father+son layout. Now, I'm going to ax-murder you and run off with your layout.

*AhhhH!*

Who did that banner?

*loves*

cornerofmadness on July 15th, 2005 05:18 pm (UTC)

dont' worry I saved my lay out for the father/son one as well.

Actually the same person did them both, sissi_blucas. All the info is in my new post.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

masqthephlsphr on July 15th, 2005 05:29 pm (UTC)

I saved that father+son banner as well, just 'cause it's cool.

And I ran off with your new banner as well. (sparing you the ax-murder)

hee!

cornerofmadness on July 15th, 2005 05:33 pm (UTC)

well at this point the axe murder would be a kindness. ENjoy the banners

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

masqthephlsphr on July 15th, 2005 05:42 pm (UTC)

Don't know what I'll do with them. But I have this reflex to save every cool banner, icon, and screen shot I find just because.

cornerofmadness on July 15th, 2005 05:49 pm (UTC)

trust me, so do I.

cornerofmadness on July 15th, 2005 05:18 pm (UTC)

wait...did you say ax murder?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

masqthephlsphr on July 15th, 2005 05:31 pm (UTC)

You needn't worry. I would NEVER ax-murder anyone.

that is such a great pic

masqthephlsphr on July 15th, 2005 05:46 pm (UTC)

Now, see, *your* friends find you cool banners. *My* friends threaten to turn compromising pictures of me into icons.

Sheesh.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

cornerofmadness on July 15th, 2005 05:48 pm (UTC)

Snort. Trust me, if my friends had such photos they'd not hesitate to icon them.

I really need to stop being such a ham everytime a camera comes out. It's a defense mechanism.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

cornerofmadness on July 15th, 2005 06:41 pm (UTC)

Me, I tend to run and hide. I take the worst pictures

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

masqthephlsphr on July 15th, 2005 07:16 pm (UTC)

That's the whole point. Instead of hiding, which I should do, because I am *SO* not photogenic, I make silly faces. Then the pictures come back and I'm tubby with bad hair, distorted features and a stupid expression on my face.

Yeah, you'll see soon enough. It's like great now how the heck does Connor et al fight the thing out to kill him and Dawn?

married_n_mich on July 15th, 2005 07:55 pm (UTC)

Oh.My.

*Giddy now*

Can't wait to see how you do it. Are you posting the story already?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

cornerofmadness on July 15th, 2005 07:58 pm (UTC)

No I'm not since I don't see the masterlist for the ficathon it's for (which is a few days over due I believe). I won't be writing too much in the next few days unless I get kicking after dark (Helping mom with her 40th anniversary party)

40th! Wow. That's great. Good luck!

Story Endings

Snorts. You think you have problems? Once I had a story entitled (19/19) at the top and got two reviews saying they loved it, but was that the end!

I know. Been there. Done that too. And you start doubting yourself. Am I really THAT weak on endings?
