I just spent the day at a conference for my course, and I'm really glad I went. I mean, I resented the early start, and I was all grouchy, but the lectures were interesting, I got free tea, coffee and lunch, and *during* lunch my personal tutor came and sat at our table. She was absolutely lovely, and I now feel ashamed that I've barely spoken to the woman. She was genuinely interested in what I had to say, and she wants to see some of what I've written. Now I have to see if I have anything suitable. *g*

The best part was that the numbers steadily depleted throughout the day, so there was plenty of buffet food (and they provided boxes if you wanted to take any home... result!) and when it came to the wine there was far too much. So, slightly pissed now. :D

So, yeah. All good. I have to start writing original fic again, I think. I'm making no progress within fandom, and I guess I've lost that feeling that I *have* to be writing all the time. I've kinda... I dunno. I don't feel the need to prove myself, which is just as well considering how little I write. All the wank and BNF-ness... it all seems so silly. I don't need to write to be liked. And if people feel that I *do*... well, they're probably not worth it.

Like I said, rambling thoughts of a pissed person. Hope no one takes it the wrong way, and if they do, apologies and all. I'm all happy and buzzy. *g*

YAY! Free food and someone else who wants to see your originals! I must find this woman and bribe her to shake the stories out of you. ^_~

*smooch*

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!

I think I have a sex life personal obsession with your icons.

Actually, what you write doesn't really matter isn't it. Its what you think of your own writing. BNFs, fandom elitists, wank and all, sometime is never worth it.

*kicks you* Just write, for what it's worth. Who cares what others think.

BNFness? *looks confused*

And I "pissed person" as "pissed off person" and was all "Nny! Why are you pissed off?!" kinda thing. Then I re-read it and realized my mistake...*blushes*

Don't think I've read anything of yours. Apart from the RPage, but that doesn't really count.

Speaking of the RPage! What happened with our Boys and Seymour? I need to know so I can post my Skazzy-baby...

I'm not sure what you mean by "making no progress within fandom". Of course you don't need to write to be liked! On the other hand, it will make me terribly sad if you stop writing fanfic. There are all sorts of examples of my favorites of yours in the the files of the Yahoo Discworld FanFiction Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Discworld_Fanfiction/) that I can't link to, unfortunately, because you have to be a member of that Group to read them.

It's not so much that I've stopped writing fanfic. That implies choice. I'm just not really getting anything written. It sucks, and I'm still trying...

I so am in exactly the same position.
