My 'edit' button keeps mysteriously vanishing. It appears in some of my entries and not in others. *angsts* I'm an editing fanatic, this is freaking me out! It's there on other people's journals, but disappears in mine! >:O

Went to Target on Mission: Buy birthday present for Ma.
Ended up spending $115...on myself. *headdesk*
There were pretty pretty things! I couldn't resist! And I'm so glad I ended up buying this dress even though I was like, 'I have no life, when am I ever going to wear this?' because Katherine and I had spontaneous!lunch yesterday [she likes to disconcert me by not planning these things- it amuses her to throw me into a tizzy] and made plans for a get-together on Saturday for dinner and a movie [Duplicity, I believe]. *bounces* I love it when things work out like that!
The afternoon was kinda lame, though. We tried to find a pound because her family's getting a dog. We print off a map with easy-to-follow directions and everything and STILL WE COULDN'T FIND THE PLACE. I mean, a pound- it's not gonna be inconspicuous, right? O.o

On the happy bouncy side of things, I worked up the courage to post the first chapter of my TLW fic- Where I Follow- and got a few reviews. :D Considering the show's been over for years, I'm thrilled. *glees* Special thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chibi_tenshi24 for being a darling! *luffs*
Yes, I know, I know, I'm supposed to be into the fic-writing for the fulfilment of the art and the satisfaction of being devoted to my fandom and- no, no, it's the reviews, okay? Who kids themselves that they write for anything other than receiving approval from other fans if they go and post it on a public site, right? I wallow in my shallow-ness. :P
In my last post, I mentioned killing off Seven in a fic for the horrible crime of 'ship interference', and it reminded me of the one and only flame I've ever received:
Okay, charater bashing like this is not acceptable in anyway. Janeway is out of character so is almost everyone else. I never imagined writing something that is a flame but I guess it is. The only thing you did right was grammer for a small part. Seven ended up with Chakotay and I guess to those who bash her charater because of it let me point this out. You can't write people so out of charater. C/J fanfiction is one thing but this is a pure infantile attempt... fanfics like this is why tv writers and and authors ban us from writing in thier stories. That's all I have to say.
I was pissed at the time but now I'm amused. >:D I suppose I should've selected the 'parody' option when posting the fic to make it clear that nobody was supposed to be in character...upon rereading, I admit, it's really mean but in my defense, I had written two other fics that explored her relationship with Janeway in a more serious and mature manner...*sighs* Flamers. >_<
