av_lad, not a word about how many axes are in my house

[ladyvyola]

So I got some feedback -- very, very nice feedback -- on a story I wrote (Tick, a Dead Zone fic), which I've never gotten a single piece of feedback on in the two and a half years since I wrote it, and I was so giddy I totally babbled and fangirled the feedbacker.

Fortunately, she's an excellent writer in a number of fandoms I love so it's not like it was insincere, but lord! It probably came off as the written equivalent of Guy in That Thing You Do going up to his jazz idol Del Paxton and saying, with heart-felt reverence, "You are my biggest fan."

Or possibly Kathy Bates in Misery.

*sigh*

Oh, I am so suave and debonair. Ph33r my l33t interpersonal skilz!

Hey, if you can't be a fangrrl every now and then, then what's the point?

How 'bout the other miscellaneous bladed weapons? Can I say a word or two about those? 8^)

Only if you want to find out how they USE them! ;)

Er, just happened to find this, and had to say: dude, I love Tick! I totally recced it in my bookmarks (http://del.icio.us/bastet) a couple of weeks ago, when I became aware of its existence. It's just such a cool way of thinking about the way Johnny sees time go by, I loved it.

Thank you!

Johnny's both anchored and adrift in time, isn't he? So many paradoxes....

This is what I actually enjoy about posting on the 'net -- there's always a chance to stumble across something that's new to you and always a chance that someone else can stumble across you.
