Random blathering...

First, I think the white epi is my favorite. Think I'm going to change it to my default. The red and white is just too gaudy.


I think my, um, enthusiasm for other writer's work scares them, sometimes. Or at least makes them look at me funny.

I can't help myself. Really. When I see a sentence -or scene, even- that's lovely, I want to tell the writer that it works. Then I want to tell them why, so they can make more lovely sentences, which in turn will make me even happier. (The truth comes out! It's all about me!)

I don't want to settle for, 'That was great! Please write more.'

Exploring themes in another writer's work, pointing out nuance of character that I noticed and appreciated... well, it's a blast.

I know it's not the standard for fanfiction reviewers to do this... and the first time someone did it with *my* writing, I about fell over. So, yes, it's an odd sensation. (Which is sad, really...)

Maybe I should just tag this to the top of my page, so when a writer comes looking for the weirdo stalking their work, they'll understand. ;-)

The white's great! Please show more!

*bg*

I liked the red very much, too. It added pizazz to the the overall page.

Oh, I see what you did there. Such a clever Muppet.

Almost aspirated my dinner.

You're on a roll tonight, butter.

Why was the cannibal expelled from school?


Because he kept buttering up the teacher!

*rimshot*

Ahhh! D'ya wanna hear another butter joke?


Nah, I'd better not... you might spread it around!

*rimshot*

Thank you, thank you very much!

Wocka Wocka!

*bows*

You're beautiful!

I'll be here all week.

If I were quicker or smarter, I'd have a FS/Muppet-tastic quote.

Will a little Mr. Goddard work?

I have no prayer for that.
