What’s going on with me lately

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

- Lately looking at the computer screen has really been making my eyes sore. Not good since I basically look at one all day at work.

- I’ve also been re-reading my looong X-men fanfic and really getting into X-men, especially the Northstar/Iceman pairing. However, reading this fic after work is not helping my eyes much.

- So I have fallen behind on my emails to people. Sorry. I will try to rest my eyes and catch up.

- I am thrilled to see a pretty active Northstar/Iceman following on LJ though. There are sooo many fanfics I need to catch up on reading. I know it's silly but I think of myself as one of the first fanfic writers to pair these two up (I might be wrong on that, but still) and now there are LJ communities dedicated to them and lots of fanfic as well.

- Oddly, I’m not as into Spiderman as I was just a couple weeks ago. When I think of writing fanfic now, I think of writing more X-men again instead of Spiderman. Weird.

- The X-men fic I want to write is basically a re-write of my long X-men trilogy. I
want to do it, but what’d be the point? I feel that I should cover new ground, but then again I do have some cool ideas for my re-write so it might be worth it.

- One sad thing is that I haven’t been reading much lately, other than fanfic. Normally I’m in the middle of 2 or 3 books at a time. I put 2 library books aside that weren’t hooking me and am slowly reading a really boring book that I bought, and nothing else now for days. That’s unusual for me. I guess it’s mostly because my eyes are sore, I don’t have much free time, and I’m reading X-men stuff now. I’m sure I will get back into reading again.

I loved your fic.

Thanks :)

What about Scott in the fic rec made you come to like him? How'd they develop him?

Well, firstly the writers are really good (arc is written by 2 writers 1st story by Lori, second story in conjunction and third by Val), so they really take time to develop the character and show motivations and just make them robust. I probaby started really liking Scott in the series when he started behaving more humanly (less "good soldier") and what more began to realise that about himself, that their was more to the world and what was ging on than his perception of it, than his schedule. He treats other with more understanding. Yet, he still remains Scott. I can feel his growth and can sympathise with him.

I started reading Caffeine and Saacharine (sp?) and am really loving it. She's a great writer!

Cool. Glad you're liking it. I actually started reading it because i like the way you paired them, and so the pairing caught my attention. And then the writing was good as well, so it made it into my favourites, even tho' I'm really selective with my fanfic these days.

That's cool to hear about Scott. And I know you're shaking your head at me, but I still like the guy and always have. Sometimes I can't even say why. Maybe because he is so flawed partly because, paradoxically, he wants to be perfect.

I am most flattered!

Do you think I'm full of myself when I wonder whether my fanfic inspired Marvel to write that arc where JP had a crush on Bobby? (Yeah, I know - I'm fulla shit).

or maybe you identify with him. Maybe the reason I dislike him so intensly is because I have a little (a lot) of "do it my way" in me :) I do however think I'm a lot more flexiable in how I do that (aka - if people don't listen to oders, I manipulate them into doing it my way :P)

Me too. I'm probably more similar to Scott than most of the others.
