My Freudian slip--er, dreams, let me show them

[valis2]

This morning's dream.

I received my copy of Fanfiction Monthly and began paging through it. My favorite feature was the long-running column Love It or Hate It, where a single reviewer gave her opinion each month on a piece of fanfiction.

The headline was: I Hated the Last Sanguimagus by Valis2. I started reading, and it talked about the story, and how much she hated it, how awful the writing was, and how it was a waste of time. It was a two page spread--a huge review.

The last quarter of the review was spent mentioning the things she liked, and in my case, she wrote glowingly about the two troll characters, Hrethgar and Hvedar, and how amazing they were, what fabulous creations they were as characters.

In the dream, I turned to Husband and said, "But they're only in the fic for three sentences, and all they do is grunt at each other! And she wrote three paragraphs about that! And she didn't even mention the main character's name, or anything about her!"

In reality, I told the dream to Husband and he said, "I don't remember any troll characters in the story." That's because there are none. Brain, WTF?

your brain is telling you your fics need more trolls ;)

*snorts* My brain makes no sense whatsoever--asleep or awake. ha!

Now I'm tempted to stick them in just for the fun of it.

Methinks I need to re-read this fic. I recall enjoying it very much the first time, troll or no trolls. :D

I could always slip a few trolls in if it would enhance the experience...lol!

I'm really so glad that you like it. I'm starting to get the feeling that I really want to write more, and I do still want to finish it--I have a kickbutt ending planned. Well, kickbutt in my head, at the least.

*headdesk*

My brian totally glossed over the opening line, there, and my first thought was "OMG! What is Fanfiction Monthly and how can I get it?!?!"

I wonder what the trolls mean....

ahahaha!!

It really was a nice publication! Full color, glossy pages, lots of great features. I do wish it really existed. lol!

And who knows what the trolls are supposed to stand for? My brain is a big gloopy mess, lol.

I thought the same thing.

You're not the only one; my first thought was, "Oh, the OTW has put out a magazine?"

I was getting really indignant at the moronic reviewer!--and then I had a Moment of Duh and realized that reading my flist before coffee was a bad idea...

totally glossed over the opening line,

Hahaha, me too, and with the same response!

Clearly, this is an untapped market. :D

By any chance, did you notice how many toes the trolls had....... ::snickers::

*laughs and laughs* There was no accompanying visual for those, I'm afraid.

And now I'm remebering how we met--you found my post to GAFF about TLS and were all freaked out until you realized I'd posted it as an antidote, rather than an example to be sporked.

Last night I dreamed that I'd written a musical for dogs. An Andrew Lloyd Weber sort of musical. And unlike Cats, the cast would be actual dogs. It was actually being produced on Broadway, and I was walking around backstage at the theater, surrounded by dogs of all description thinking, "This was a really stupid idea."

Trolls, huh?

omg omg I had totally forgotten about that!

I nearly had a heart attack, seriously. I was completely freaking out, shouting for Husband and everything, and then when I read the actually post, I started squeeing like a crazy person. Well, Husband thought I was, after that, I'm certain.

Just thinking of the logistics involved is making me wince. Seriously. Though it would have better odds at succeeding than, say, a production of cats.

I'm sure you got a giant paycheck, though, so who cares how cracky the idea was? lol.

Trolls, huh?

Yep. Hrethgar and Hvedar. The comedy duo of trolldom. Playing the Clubskills.

Whoa. That is some dream! ;p

My brain is so crazy. Seriously. I have no idea where that came from!
