I'm back.

So I log into gmail, and I see eight comment notifications for a single entry. I think, oh yay, the fanfiction entry was linked to metafandom, this must explain the nice, healthy number of comments!

No, not at all. The eight comments were for the TV Guide M&M Horror. There was only one comment for the Giant Entry about Writing Fanfiction.

I should have remembered the Catspam Rule. What, you may ask, is the Catspam Rule? I've just decided that it's this:

The number of comments you will receive for an entry about a life-changing decision is inversely proportional to the number of comments you will receive for posting pictures of your cats.

*laughs like an idjit*

*lurves the flist*

One cool thing...apparently someone is going to try to translate the afore-mentioned Ginormous Heigh Ho Let's Punctuate And Stuff fanfiction entry into Spanish! I hope it happens. That would be cool.

ETA: This isn't meant to poke you and be all like, "yo YO, read my mofo fanfic entry." It's more of a wry giggle about how much we lurves us some cats here in LJland. ;)

And disturbing M&M clocks, apparently. :-)

Seriously though, I did read your fanfiction essay - both parts - and I really enjoyed it. Much of it - about plotting and POV and staying in character, etc - is stuff that really should be taught when students do creative writing at school, but sadly doesn't often seem to be.

Who would have thought that they would have such an appreciative audience? *laughs*

Oh, yay! Thank you so much. I think that most of the flist has seen it one time or another, and that's why there are fewer comments this time around.
