The horror of Van Helsing...

Watched it last night. To my dismay it was not even enough of a popcorn movie for me to watch again. I'm so sad! The Mummy is one of my favorite popcorn movies of all time, and I was looking forward to another. Stephen Sommers, what is happening? Note: If, for some reason, you have a desire to see this movie and haven't seen it yet, know that the rest of this entry contains spoilers.

Some valis commentary for Van Helsing...

( Ah, the sarcasm cup overfloweth... )

EDIT: Cut two entries into one here.

Ugh.

I have to write a new chapter. It has nearly gelled in my head. Unfortunately I am finding myself putting it off...probably because this one will be a little complicated, and I need to do it correctly. So I keep avoiding it because I don't want to get it wrong.

So instead I keep working on this weird "valis guide to writing better fanfiction", despite how insanely egotistical that entire concept is. *sigh* It should be called "Pitfalls of writing fanfic...check out the silly things I've done. Thank goodness none of them are posted anywhere." No one asked me for my opinion on how to write fanfic, after all, and there are so many better writers out there on the net that I am starting to feel vaguely idiotic for trying. I wrote it simply because I've been thinking about all of the mistakes I've made in writing, and I just thought I'd share, and then it grew into this mammoth entry. I'll probably post it anyway, just to get it out of my system.

Have a little piece of paper on my desk with some lovely little things I wrote to remind myself to include them later (about Lucius/Severus/Voldemort) and every time I see this piece of paper I think, ooh, can't wait to include this. But I have to write at least one chapter before I can shove this into the mix. And it's this chapter of doom that I have no desire to write today. But I want to write it.

*sigh*

A new reviewer on FicAlley wrote three reviews about tLS...two that say "What's a Sanguimagus??!!!" and one that says "Aaah, I get it, cool".

What always interests me about the people who say "What's a Sanguimagus" is that the answer is in the author's note to the very first chapter. *grin* Then again, how often do I read the author's notes exhaustively? Usually I dive in a bit to make sure there aren't any warning bells before I go back and look at the AN.

Am finally caught up on LJ...I read all of the flist entries when I returned, but hadn't caught up with all the Comm stuff. Now I'm done at last.

Okay, weird entry full of unrelated things...just had to get that out of my system, and waste more time instead of writing the next chapter.
