A Writing Anniversary of Sorts

[donutsweeper]

I posted my first story 6 months ago today, a drabble called Begrudging Acceptance.   Since then I have posted 93 stories, 54 of them drabbles (22 of the alien donut variety.)   40 stories (33 drabbles) were posted in November alone.

I'm not sure if I should be proud or scared of those numbers.

That is awesome! Congrats! ...So what are we going to do to celebrate YOUR 100th story?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I dunno! Any ideas?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Well...the obvious thing would be a Take the Donuts to a New Fandom Fest.

Or just a donutfest where everybody writes donutfic, but we're doing that already. *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

true... the donuts have spread, even before I asked for that in my holiday meme. TW, DW, SGA, SG1, Buffy, Due South, Dresden Files... it's so pretty.

hmmm... that leaves me idea-less of what to write and what we should do for my 100th fic.

Can I just say...

Alien Donuts obviously made you do it!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

they have a lot to answer for, don't they? (holy cow, you're still awake?)

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

They made me buy a box today when I was in Tesco for dog food earlier. Nice toffee filled chocolate covered doughnuts too. Mmmm. The dogs didn't get any, needless to say.

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I keep on getting distracted. *shit* it's nearly 4:30. see you tomorrow!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Get some sleep! And dream of donuts!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Wow. *blinks* That's some word count. You should definitely be proud.

And there are lots more fandoms that the donuts could go to - Sapphire and Steel, B5, any of the Star Treks, Star Wars, Firefly, Angel, The Matrix...

Okay, shutting up now... ;)

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Donuts in Firelfy. Now that I'd Like to see :D

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I don't need another fandom but if I did, that's the one I'd go for :)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Oh, gosh, it would be so easy! You wouldn't have to crowbar them in at all. Not that anything is happening in my brain, just... I'd like to see it too! The possibilities!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

*gazes about* does anyone we know actually write Firefly??? Who can we pester/bribe/cajole?

[unfeathered]

woodsong_1978 writes Firely... *g*

And I'm intending to get the donuts to Angel at some point... :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh, donuts+Angelverse=squee!! (although not in the Angelpuppet verse, that'd be a little disconcerting!)

[unfeathered]

Oh God no - can't stand puppet!Angel. No danger of that!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*phew* although that episode does have the great "They're staring at you puppetboy!" line... but otherwise? *shudder*

[unfeathered]

It's weird - everyone else loved that episode. I was just going wtf????

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it had two good lines (puppet boy and 'my nose comes off, that's kind of cool') but otherwise I was really creeped out by the episode, just... didn't like it at all- and not enough Spike or Fred in it

[unfeathered]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought. I just went to look up my original review and - hey, you want to see it? It's not long:

It had some interesting ideas (puppets taking over the world, Angel as a puppet) but it turned out to be really rather a nothingy episode. Could have done with more jokes, perhaps more Spike in such a comedy episode.

I did like puppet Angel fighting Spike, the lift opening to show he’d won, and leaping onto Spike’s arm. Also Angel’s “And my nose comes off”. And puppet Angel vamping out. And Nina waking up with Angel fluff in her mouth.

But the puppet didn’t even look much like Angel!

It was nice to see some development in the relationships (Angel & Nina, Fred & Wes) and sweet that Wes could give Angel advice but couldn’t see clearly about his own relationship – but again I felt it could have been done better.

The Gunn story was fairly interesting, and very sinister at the end when he walked into Angel’s office suddenly back on form so you knew he’d gone ahead and made an even bigger deal with the devil.

5/10

Oh, and look, I just got a new Angel icon. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I forgot to mention the puppet vamping, that WAS really cute. But yeah, we pretty much saw the episode the same way. And, very nice icon!

[unfeathered]

Well, it's really nice to have found someone else who didn't adore that ep!

Some day, I'll get back to finishing off my Angel and Buffy reviews. I still have a fair number to do and I really would like to have a review and a score for EVERY episode!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that impresses me, the reviews and scores. I could never be that organized

[unfeathered]

I like statistics, remember?

I just started writing reviews for the message board I was on, then eventually started saving the damn things... And I always give things scores... And then I started putting them all in order...

I have lists of 138 Buffy episodes and 85 Angel episodes in order of greatness. I would really, really like to make that 144 and 110. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

well I'll just sit in awe of you. I can't even manage to do DW's S1

[unfeathered]

Hmm. I have reviews and scores for all DW S1 now, but I haven't got round to putting them all in order...

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

woodsong_1978 writes Firely... *g*
Oh that's good to know!

Yes get the donuts to Angel - or Giles... Giles on donuts would be fun *g*

[unfeathered]

Of course, woodsong_1978 also writes Firefly - I don't know what this 'Firely' thing is! *smacks forehead*

Yes get the donuts to Angel - or Giles... Giles on donuts would be fun *g*

Giles could take the donuts to Angel...? *g*

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I could do donuts in Trek. Haven't visited there in while but...
You are Bad, Bad I tell you! Now there is the perfect excuse for why Tom Paris married B'Elanna Torres... Alien Donuts made them do it!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

heee *evil grin* Yup, that's the only explanation that makes sense :)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Tom and Torres and donuts... makes a lot of sense when you think about it!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Alien donuts are just non-sensient Tribbles really...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

if we're not careful the donuts will spread to all the fandoms people on my flist write! Fortunately (luckily?) I've already slipped them into all the ones I could manage

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Proud *nods* I only have roughly that many for 2 years in fandom - though my brain was absent for a fairly large chunk of it...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

well, the ridiculous drabble count helped raise those numbers. And I think absent brains might be the only way to explain those donut drabbles...

[eumenidis.livejournal.com]

I'd say proud. Mazel tov, girl!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*bows* thanks!

[eumenidis.livejournal.com]

(Applause.) Encore, encore!

[unfeathered]

That's... very impressive! You should be proud, definitely not scared! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

And I tip my hat to you for helping with so many beta jobs!

[unfeathered]

Heh, any time! :-)

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

Donuts definitely need to visit B5, Crusade and Lost Tales. What about Men in Black, Wild Wild West, Sherlock Holmes and Master and Commander.

today LJ tomorrow the fanfic universe!
