Ten Things Cam Does Not Want to See in a Summary:
1. "I'm not good at summarys."
2. "I suck at summaries but story will be better!"
3. "Plz r+r!!!11!"
4. "Not a Mary Sue!"
5. "I know it's been done a lot, but I promise this will be funnier/better/more original."
6. "AAAAAAAAAAAAH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
7. "Random" and "humour" anywhere in the summary together.
8. "My first fanfic."
9. Mispellings
10. Caps Locks.
Oh, and - tada! Cam Recommends. My fanfic recommendation page. It's just got a few up yet, but there will be more. If you have a suggestion or two, let me know. Harry Potter recs will be done by my mysterious parter-in-crime. Shhh!
CSI drabble I wrote here. GSR. Fanfic update will follow when beta gets back to me.
An interesting article:
Why are a larger precentage of Europeans immune to HIV?
Pick a Meme!
1. Freakiest fandom experience. Scary, funny, weird or just plain insane. Spill it.
2. Worst summary you have ever come across. It burned. Share the pain.

My first fan-fic. Inspired by ReverendKillJoy's "Liar" and the Roy Orbison song "Crying"... spoilers for everything up to "Faith-Based Initiatives". AU, HEAVY TRAGEDY AND ANGST. 4 chapters, story is complete. Feeback is manna from heaven.
I would just like to note that the episode title is wrong, and due to the fact that I can read, I knew there were four chapters. But thanks for wasting my time.
Josh has a heart to heart with Stanely. Please RR need the moral support to get me through season 6. Dedicated to Lattlelady, Lystelle and Stargirl. Will write a sequal, based on season six if I get some reviews!
Shout-outs in the summary? For real? And what is a sequal, and who is Stanely?
I could play this game all day.

Date: 2005-03-12 07:44 pm (UTC)--I was reading a book peacefully, at night, and did not know my mother was on the back porch. She snuck up to the window silently and proceeded to scratch her fingernails down the length of it, making an orc-face. I don't know why...
The fanfic recommendation page is very cool. Maybe someone will recommend Babylon 5 stuff. ;) It won't be me, because unfortunately I haven't found any good B5 stuff...I suppose that's one of the pitfalls of a less-appreciated fandom.

Date: 2005-03-12 07:55 pm (UTC)I left constructive criticism on a story—a really bad songfic for Evanescence's "My Immortal." Was very nice about it; thought that it wasn't the sort of thing that the author would chase me down for. Long story short: I was wrong. Author's friends—four altogether—became upset with me for the review I left, and harrassed me over IM. Very scary.

Date: 2005-03-12 08:23 pm (UTC)"Okay, so everyone is younger. Each chappy or two is a separate stage in their lives. I know, the summary sux. It is better than it sounds. I SWEAR! It is written by my friend...lol. NSR...hint of teenaged GCR...:smiles innocently:"
It is better than it sounds. I SWEAR!
Alas, it wasn't.
And written by a friend? Right-o.
+ I get all tingly when someone uses one of my icons, which the eyefuckage one is, but you have it credited as being by someone else. I'm totally not anal about credit and couldn't give two shits about it but I'm just wondering if someone else claimed that they made it or something 'cause they better not be stealing my bandwidth too.

Date: 2005-03-12 08:29 pm (UTC)And to #9: Misspellings of a character's name.
...I know I've had plenty of freaky fandom experiences, but can't think of one off the top of my head right now. Tomorrow maybe.

Date: 2005-03-12 08:34 pm (UTC)Oi! I wish I knew - I save all icons to my computer with a "by soandso" in case I ever desire to use them so I'll remember who to credit. Either this time I utterly blinked and lost my brain there and recorded the wrong name, or it was indeed represented with the wrong credit somewhere. I wish I remember, but I don't, I'm sorry. I fixed it on my userpic info, anyway.

Date: 2005-03-12 08:53 pm (UTC)I personally have issues with "summery". I didn't know that some people's fic was so...seasonal.
As for the memes:
1. Um...gee, I'm not sure if anything in those respects ever happened. At least, that I can recall. I'm getting more and more senile each day.
2. I'm happy to announce that the worst of the summaries I have encountered have been completely wiped from my mind. Please don't make me try to recall them. I'll need some intense therapy sessions otherwise.
