There are so many things I want to update about, omg. SO MANY. My friends list needs to stop being so awesome and giving me so much inspiration/motivation. STOP IT YOU GUYS. I am so full of glee over the people I have on my friends list right now though, I have met some really amazing people and I swear to god I will do an introduction post soon, but every time I try I end up sounding ridiculously geeky and I don't want you guys to regret adding me. So give me some time to edit the geek out.

But ok, I'm going to be busy tonight, so I thought I'd post at least one thing that I've been meaning to do for a while so I can come back later and have tons of things to read/look at/love on.

Link me to something of yours that you feel was under-appreciated at the time you posted it. Or, even if it was well-received, something of which you're proud. (That sounds so awkward, doesn't it? But I hate ending sentences with 'of.') It can be anything. Fic, icons, graphics, a funny chat log, a clever entry, insightful meta, even just a post you made that you thought was really well-written. Anything. And I will check it out. It doesn't have to be fandom-related, and if it is, it doesn't have to be in a fandom in which I participate. Preferably not friends locked, because other people scrolling through comments might want to check it out, too. But if the one thing you want to link is friends locked and you don't want to change that, that's totally ok.

I have so many new people on my list that I know are talented and awesome, but I just don't have the time to back and read every single entry or every single fic or look at every single icon post. And I have so many old friends that I was terrible about keeping up with for so long, and I feel awful about that.

Seriously, I want everyone to do this. Please. It will make my night, and it's been a pretty crappy night. I lose faith in people in general sometimes, and I hate that. I need rejuvenation. ♥

I'm quite proud of the Rose Tyler (of Doctor Who) ep I did but no one really seemed to care. lol
It's here (http://katrina87.livejournal.com/134927.html#cutid1)

And I never got much love for this Dean/Sam angsty porn fic (http://community.livejournal.com/scribbledstoria/1713.html#cutid1) that I really thought I had done a good job on. :(

I like this meme! hehe

Thank you for those, doll! I enjoyed both very much. ♥

I'm totally proud of the Supernatural/HP house icons (http://rhombal.livejournal.com/92579.html#cutid1) I made, but they got less recognition than the Firefly ones did, sadly. But that's okay! I just wanted to share the geekery.

They are awesome! I snagged one, thanks so much for pointing me towards them. :)

practically every fic i've ever written (http://theyscreamofyou.livejournal.com) is underrated, so. lol. and, hey, it's more than just spn, haha.

<33333

Well, dude, come on. That does not help me. ;P Obvs your fic is awesome and I will eventually read all of it and try to comment even though I sound like a total lame-o when I do, but give me like two that I must absolutely read right this instant.

i'll give you the MOST underappreciated, lol.

millstone (http://theyscreamofyou.livejournal.com/11090.html), sequel to degausser (http://theyscreamofyou.livejournal.com/10700.html). and that's two, so that's kind of cheating.

and i dunno if you've ever seen mysterious skin? but i wrote a little post-movie thing called on a neck, on a spit (http://theyscreamofyou.livejournal.com/10810.html). i liked that one. that one only got two comments, lol.

but, yeah. if you slowly work your way around

theyscreamofyou, you can find good stuff. <33333

shannon

I haven't actually seen Mysterious Skin yet, well, I've seen like the first five minutes and then I got distracted or something, but I have it around on a disc somewhere so I'll definitely add that of my things to watch ASAP so I can read your fic and know what's going on. :D

And I'm heading over to read the other two you linked right now. ♥

This is my favorite o-ficcy thing. (http://picayochan.livejournal.com/422107.html) It actually got more appreciation than I expected though!

Also I hope you get lots of lovely things in your comments.

Thank you so much for the link! I read it last night and typed up my comments, but I didn't get around to posting them until tonight, mostly because I'm never confident enough to post concrit, I always feel like I'm going to alienate or discourage the author, which I absolutely do not want to do with you! But hopefully it's what you were looking for, and I really enjoyed reading the story. :)

I took oodles of poetry workshops in college and I LOVE an intelligent concrit atmosphere. I wish fandom and o-fandom had more of that. (However, to be honest when I read something I love I usually puddle into a ball of caps lock squeedom and when I read something I feel needs some work I usually don't know the author well enough to point things out.)

Whee, tangent.

Anyway, thanks so much! You rule. Thanks for the add, too. I've been enjoying your posts like crazy.

This story I wrote for the spn_50states challenge (for South Carolina) didn't get a lot of attention, but I'm still really proud of it. I edited the hell out of that sucker, had two different betas pick it apart, and rewrote until my fingers were sore. I still think it's one of the best stories I've written. :)

I really love my friendslist right now, too. Trimming down was such a good thing for me, because now I can engage with people I *want* to talk to!!! \o/ (http://buffyspazz.livejournal.com/120225.html)

*lol* I actually don't have something that I'm especially proud of and that you haven't commented on already. I so rarely make actual productive posts with icons etc, its usually just rambling :D

Oh, I don't know if you ever saw my Dexter Finale icons, I don't remember whether that was before we knew each other... *digs up link*

20 Dexter Finale Icons (http://subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com/47140.html#cutid1).

I'm tracking this post, I'm curios to see what other people will post :)

Heh, I think I make like one icon post a year anymore, so you're definitely more productive than me! :)

Thank you for linking me to those, sugar, I adore your icons. ♥

*lol*

Aw, thank you sweety *hugs real tight*

I don't have much that you haven't commented on, either. I've been writing a bit lately in my notebook but it's kind of crap. at least, in my eyes. maybe i'll type it up on saturday or something. =)

I haven't seen you update in a bit, everything going ok for you? I love that you're using that picture of yourself as icon, you're so cute. :)

I'd definitely love to read anything you get typed up, so send it my way! :)

My fairytale (http://returningheroes.livejournal.com/tag/fairy+tales) fics. At least the original ones. :D I love those and writing them and wish people appreciated fairytales more.

And do you mind if I repost this in my journal? I love the idea of it.

yay, i love new friends. and i can't wait for an intro post, i love ridiculously geeky people, being one myself.

i'll see if i can find something good to link to you to of mine, hrm.

Hmm... most of my LJing isn't very exciting. But there was a fandom character meme that was going around a while back and I was kind of proud of my answers to it... here (http://thejadedflames.livejournal.com/13088.html). :D

I rewrote the first chapter to that fanstory I was telling you about but I am still a little self conscious about it because the prologue still sucks! Eep.

What a cool meme. I may yoink this for my next post. :D

I've always been pretty disappointed with the TOTAL lack of response to "Hallelujah, Lock and Load (http://rockababy.livejournal.com/21251.html)". It was my first attempt at zombie!fic and I really like it but I've only ever gotten one piece of feedback about it and that was from someone to whom I pimped it shamelessly and mercilessly. I'm almost entirely certain that it's because it's Tony/Minako--Mest fans don't want to read about some anime superheroine and Sailor Moon fans don't want to read about some foul-mouthed punk--but I think that's unfair because most of it is about Tony. But that's what I get for picking such an obscure OTP. In any case, I think it's excellent in places (one of my favorite pieces of imagery is Tony breaking, silently, in Minako's arms, and the very last line is one of my absolute favorites) and it's always made me kind of sad that no one seems to have read it, or if they did they were so apathetic towards it. Cries.

I'm also a little perturbed by the totally nonexistent reaction to A Quartz Contentment (http://rockababy.livejournal.com/40419.html) because it's not a crossover, it features a fairly popular canon pairing, it has a lot of (what I think are) interesting ideas, and SOMEONE HAS SEX WITH A ZOMBIE! Seriously, I thought that would have been enough to get at least SOME kind of response, but I've never heard anything about it other than it having been anonymously nominated for a few awards at

sm_monthly (none of which it won).

Maybe my fandoms just aren't ready for zombies yet. :O

Longest comment in the thread FTW!

Mmm, I guess there's been a lot of stuff over the years, but if I had to choose one type of under-appreciated postage, that would be my fanmixes, particularly the Solidarity fanmix (Kyler/Creed) (http://noorie.livejournal.com/53114.html) and Time of Storms: an unofficial soundtrack (Snape/Lupin) (http://noorie.livejournal.com/136700.html), but also the Wesley fanmix (http://community.livejournal.com/jossverse_radio/667.html) and teen!emo!snupin (http://noorie.livejournal.com/127282.html).
Oh, and one PSA post that I'm linking because it might also be useful for your, er, comm: PSA: How (not) to report download-related errors (http://noorie.livejournal.com/132042.html)
Speaking of which, check this out! (http://www.stereogum.com/archives/004735.html)

So, I made icons for things that not many people care about, like The Series of Unfortunate Events Movie (http://community.livejournal.com/_pieta/4629.html), and Music Videos from Canadian Indie Bands (http://community.livejournal.com/_pieta/4008.html), Television Shows Cancelled Way Prematurely (http://community.livejournal.com/_pieta/2671.html).

So I can understand why they're underappreciated. But still :D

But we love your geekiness right people?

Nothing to report that i can recall!

You changed your layout! :O

Oh, what a lovely idea. I think I shall steal this later if you don't mind.

I slaved over this doctor who fic (http://community.livejournal.com/doctor_plus_one/38918.html#cutid1) for someone and it was my first try with that fandom but i worked really hard and even tried to add humour to it (something i suck at, but I thought came off well) so perhaps I'm just a crummy writer pushing her shit onto unsuspecting readers, or it was buried in a very active fic community that has 15 fic posts a day.

And I was going to mention these robin hood icons (http://community.livejournal.com/robinhoodicons/18906.html#cutid1) because again, I tried really hard, giving each one something special and my first work with new textures, but then my icons got a nomination, so I can't complain without sounding bitter ect.

I hope your faith is restored by all the comments you get! &hearts
