Desk drawer, once again

[wiseheart]

There will be whining and indignation, so if that bothers you, don't look behind the cut. I won't be held responsible if my self-pity disturbs your sleep.

I posted the coffee scene to FF.Net. It got me four very friendly reviews and the repeated question where the rest of my Zelenka story might be. I answered all those questions privately. That was almost a week ago. Nobody cared to come to otherworlds_lib and take a look at the actual story.

I posted another Zelenka vignette from the story, in the hope that it would make people want to read more. It got completely ignored. I finally came around to update Ambitions, posting the penultimate chapter to both FF.Net and otherworlds_lib. I even promoted the update on kavtolanon, where people are supposed to be interested in Kavanagh stories. Guess what? It got ignored completely. Were I be able to write completely inane smut with highly impossible pairings, I'd probably get gushing reviews. Other people do, so that must be the secret.

I don't know why am I still trying, in any of my frigging fandoms. It's a completey hopeless case.


On a different note, as you see, I survived the trip to Transylvania. Mum and her former classmates were like little girls at a sleepover party, so it's inavoidable that we'll be going next year again. Well, she deserves to have some fun.

Hey, I know you're not into "Atlantis", due to the questionable program ideas of your local TV, and I've hardly written anything else lately. I didn't expect my personal friends with no history with the show to read the stuff. What angers me are folks who are supposedly devoted to it and still unable or unwilling to read and praise anything else but graphic 'ship fics. But if you feel up to reading about characters you don't know, you're welcome, of course. :))

So, you've realized why am I into vampires in the first place, eh? I was born in Transylvania and spent the first nine years of my life there. We lived next to the cemetery, in a house #13, hehehe. I used to play in the empty crypts with my childhood friends.

I hope the stress of your life lessens in the next time - and this is, for a change, a completely selfless hope from my side. *g*

I still plan to have a readathon and catch up on a few peoples' stuff, yours included. As for the Atlantis fans if they're only reading the graphic stuff, they're not true fans. Is Otherworlds the best place to go for all your latest work?

Fancy playing in crypts as a kid! Nothing like a playground the adults wouldn't annoy you in. I admit to a fascination with vampires too, maybe we should have a discussion on these one day?

And thanks, I know your good wishes will help, I know you mean it.

Yes, Otherworlds is the best place for all the sci-fi stuff (and Hiddenrealms for the vampire stuff).

You're right, sometimes I have the feeling that for a great lot of so-called fans every fandom is just an excuse to write mediocre pr0n because they've got the hots for the actors (something that still amazes me considering Atlantis' Sheppard. Or Kirk, for that matter). Ah, well, there's no use to fight about taste. Or the complete lack of it.

I'll be happy to talk about vampires with you any time you want. gone2thedogs and the_wild_iris are into the bloodsuckers as well.*g*

And yes, I do mean my good wishes. *hugs*

There's no accounting for taste you know, and personally I agree with you over Kirk. Nope, never have fancied him.

I'll go check out Hiddenrealms later..I'm sure I'll be fascinated.

And again thanks so much for the good wishes.
