I hadn't noticed a 'kerfluffle' in the TW fandom -- or rather, a community kerfluffle.

I'm mildly amused.

People take it personally that the mod asks them to limit their posting per day (lot of chapters, short ones, posted 3+ times per day... imagine my flist if everyone did that.... O.o)

quote: From the original post, it sounded like writers were going to be required to have a final chapter count, etc.
(The mod asked that people might consider this, it wasn't a direct order)

Eh.... that would be nice, you know. I actually consider it bad behaviour if you start posting a story before you've finished it (I've done it ONCE, in my early days of Smallville... say, 8 or so years ago). I'm old fashioned that way. I'm sorry if some find it hurtful. I'm a fossilized dinosaur when it comes to fandom, it seems. I'm the old lady with the cat, sitting in her rocking chair, bitching about today's youth...

*wibbles*

But... I've only been in fandom for roughly 10 years... I'm still young and hip, right?

I'm sitting on my hands trying not to comment anywhere else that people getting betas might be a good idea too....

I have no idea.

Quite frankly, I feel restless. That's closer to the truth. I mean, I could write.

1. I have a future-future-apocalype Merlinfic in the making

2. I could rewrite Convergence 1 (one of my old original stories) - because let's face it, it won't do to simply edit that damned thing. Although it'd take a lot of planning too. Timelines don't make themselves.

3. I could so do Torchwood. I've even thought about a third installment for a Companion's Companion, because I like that AU universe and I like the man Ianto's become. That said, as long as I don't have a sufficiently good idea for a main plot, that's not happening.

4. I could finish reading the Watchmen graphic novel I bought before I go to see the film on Wednesday. I read it, ages back, and can't remember much, so I had planned to re-read before watching it.

And still I feel restless. You guys ever feel like that? You have a ton of stuff to get done, but you still feel too out of focus to do so?

Maybe I need a fanish meetup before I manage to make it to Scotland at the end of June, but let's face it, we're not that many Danish fans om my LJ XD - and we live spread out over the place.
