Three birds, one stone.

I know a lot of people are suffering to no end because of the inclement weather and for that I am sorry. I know people are probably stranded with cabin fever, maybe even without power (in which case, um, damn, son). But as bad as that is the people of Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation have been without power or water or heat for nearly two weeks. No, that's no typo.

I know people have been emptying their pockets for help_haiti, which just goes to show the power of fandom, but if anybody's got a few dollars left that that they might want to throw this way for Emergency Assistance (or here via Piryx) to help these people or could even just pass the message on to people that might be able to help that would just be amazing.

It will never cease to baffle me as to why people feel the need to read and comment on stories they clearly don't like. Is your 'back' button broken? Do you really think your rudeness is so invaluable? Why would you say 'I didn't really like this story, I don't think you're a really good writer, but whatever, I read it.' Or better yet, "Everybody said this was good, but I just don't agree." I just... what?

Can someone tell me where manners went to die, becuse I'd like to put flowers on their grave?

In less irritating news, since I missed this when it was going on, I'm doing it today:

Today has been declared lurker amnesty day (by me!) Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the ficinsanity? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.

Oh, and since this is my all-inclusive post, anybody have the new Sade, Corrine Bailey Rae or Massive Attack albums to share? SCORE! Thanks sugargroupie and jcase!

Hi, I adore serialkarma, so any time she endorses me I'm touched. (And I'm flad you're enjoying GK! I love GK)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have totally seen you around! Thank you so much for the lovely comment and I'm so glad you're enjoying yourself.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the donation! And I hope you're enjoying Southland and GK!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Southland is AWESOME!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, your icon is pretty. *makes big eyes* Also, hi!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Southland is repeating on TNT right now! Tuesday! 10pm! WATCH EEEEEEEEEET!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are very sweet, thank you!(And it's okay if English isn't your first langugage, I welcome everybody, even if I don't understand what you're saying :D

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Double word!

[inmyriadbits.livejournal.com]

She is totally fantastic! She's one of the reasons I'm sad to have left New York. Thank goodness for the internet, at least.

I TOTALLY LOVE IT. Since my first viewing at the end of December, I've watched the entire mini two additional times, bought both Evan's and Nate's books, and toyed with the idea of a Man From U.N.C.L.E.-like spy!AU (mostly due to this picture (http://www.superherofan.net/galleries/albums/superherofan-gallery/Celebrities/A/Alexander-Skarsgard/index.html#1), in which Alexander Skarsgård look alarmingly like much-taller Illya Kuryakin). The fandom is a blast. ♥

[sumofparts.livejournal.com]

I read your journal for the HP fic (Neville!!!!) and stop by occasionally for the non-fic posts and the music since we're in different fandoms now. But still &hearts for your fic even when I don't read it; your stories obviously make people happy.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are adorable and have totally made my day. You know that right? Please feel free to ignore me while I shamelessly roll around in this comment and give myself cheap thrills. What? I do these things from time to time. The economy is in the tank, I have to get my kicks where I can!

Seriously, though, I am very touched that you've enjoyed my stories so much and I really hope you get to see S2 of Southland, because I expect it to be AWESOME with naked Cooper on top. Ohhhh, Naked!Cooper...

The body of manners was never found, and so there is no grave. However, some people do maintain memorials tucked politely out of the way. Unfortunately these tend to be vandalized on a regular basis.

Goddamn vandals! I shall go light a candle in the kitchen in spirit.

Also, please feel free to drop by any time, my LJ is always open :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

GK makes everything better. Trufax. It once cured me of food poisoning!

[inmyriadbits.livejournal.com]

Wait, did it actually? Or in an "and it cures cancer!" way? :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It totally did! I had a bad burrito and I was curled up on the sofa in this fetal position, ready to just die and I turned it on and Ray started babbling and all my cramping went away. It took like an entire episode, but still. Maybe they just made me more relaxed but it sure as hell made me feel better and that's what really counts.

JUST SAYIN' HEY! *waves*

[snowybaby.livejournal.com]

I must admit, I've been lurking for a few weeks now, but I've only written one comment. My mistake, since your fiction - - fun, sexy (oh, wow, soo sexy), sometimes heart-wrenching & always, totally quotable (as in, I wish I could steal some of this wit for my real life) - - is incredible. Your AU work is spectacular, the Layla series is a delight and The Messenger... THAT I love secretly --> It's not that I want to see bad things happen to Brad/Nate ALL the time, but your occasional dips into the angst pool are more than welcome; you do it so well! and go right for the heart in a beautiful, surprising way. Quite simply: you've gained a faithful reader & I'd rec your work to anyone. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your imagination and unknowingly introducing me to the GK fandom (your fiction was the first I read).

PS. If you run across any naysayers in the future, just assume (correctly) that they've lost their minds... or simply have no taste :) uhem! so, after that ramble, i'm darting away... calling over my shoulder, "your fic is great!"

[forsweatervests.livejournal.com]

The ankles, really? That's funny, I always assumed it would be harder on the knees; I'm not sure why. Maybe I was thinking about landing?

That aside, serious props to you for attempting what only stuntmen and women are routinely successful at (in my severely limited experience).

Weirdly enough - in a completely unsubtle topic change - the first thing I thought of in respect to jumping from cars was Southland, and how I kept hoping Chickie would just to get out of the damn car.

[bgaleb.livejournal.com]

Have you read me but never commented?
YES!
Hi! I read stories in GK fandom, Southland and some other fandoms but I practically never comment, not because I do not like the stories ( I LOVE them!!) but just because I feel shy? By the way, I did not even know about Gen Kill and Southland before I read your stories, and they are the reason I watched them and deeply fell in love! And I can’t be grateful enough for that! Thank you so very much!

P.S. Concerning “bad” comments - my guess is that some people just produce a certain amount of venom every day and must spray it, lol!! Anyways they are outnumbered by true fans who sends good wishes and love your way!!

[slashfairy.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link about the Rez. Will repost tonight at work.


Today has been declared lurker amnesty day (by me!) Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the ficinsanity? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that. I think I found you through a meta_fandom link, or someone's roundup of posts, and like the way you think. I've stayed more for that than the fic, though I admit I now want to watch GK and get to know these men you write about, so- good job!

[discordantcat.livejournal.com]

Lurker of the fic. You are an amazing writer and you were the one that got me into gen kill, for which I owe you (and the journal who rec'ed you, but I never found them again) an incredible debt.

Rudeness aside, I do sometimes feel motivated to comment on fics I dislike, if something in them actually offends me. Particularly when it's something I see as an unhealthy world-view. And I often comment on the fics that have potential, but aren't there yet, because it breaks my heart when people are complacent and never develop their talent. However, I always try to be polite when I do so.

[discordantcat.livejournal.com]

Always listen to Ray. He gives very good advice.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I am loving hearing from all these OC/HP-era people. Man, those were the days. Wayyy back in the day. I've clearly been doing this too long. :D Anyway, hello! (And I hope you'll give GK and Southland a chance, they are AWESOME).

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Hi! *waves*

Also, Neville is love forever and ever, yes :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

For the record shyness is okay, but I'm vey glad that you have gotten into GK and Southland and are enjoying them!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself!

Re: JUST SAYIN' HEY! *waves*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

What a lovely comment; I'm so pleased that you enjoy my GK writing and that you are enjoying the fandom! :)

p.s. I like The Messenger, too.
