God Damn These Electric Sex Pants

[girlanachronism]

I just wanted to ponder my own uselessness. Seriously, it's depressing. I think I need to make a move to less awesome fandoms, lower the standards a bit. Every time I go to make an icon or write something... wham. Someone has just posted something mind-bendingly brilliant and all will to continue fades to nothing.

How can I compete with revolution through comedy in Orwellian dystopias or Adrian Veidt with a purple kitten on his head? Really? Did I ever have a chance? I am so not an internet person. And I think photoshop hates me.

But the fact is, you guys have me hitched. I'm addicted. Couldn't leave if I wanted to. It's stupid... I've had this journal for like two months, but in terms of use I may as well have had it for a week. See that little mouse? The one hiding in the corner watching everything go by with big wide eyes? Wave to it, cos its me.

Meh. Maybe I'll get braver with time. After all, thanks to theblackmeat , I'm now creeping out of my mouse hole to friend some people.  :)

Take some advice from Nike: Just do it. :)

The first time I posted a story on the internet (in this very fandom! well, not exactly; the fandom has changed quite a bit since then) I literally felt sick to my stomach, waiting for feedback. It got a hell of a lot easier after that; the first step is always the hardest.

You just have to focus on your work and making it the best you can, and not worry so much about what other people are doing. Have a line from a poem that I love. I think it's fitting:

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Pretty much true in all things, I think.

Yeah but darling, there is a significant difference between us. You have talent.

Sorry, sorry, I know the consistent waves of needy self-deprecation are annoying. I'm stopping! Look! All stopped!

Let's start this again: Thanks for your very kind words :) Coming from you it means a lot, and as soon as I'm settled in to uni I promise to take your advice.

Aw, thanks for the sweet mention =) I completely agree with what sarcasticsra said though. Sometimes I'll read a story and it makes me never want to write again because I feel like I can't possibly do half as good as the person did even if I tried for ten years. Then I remember that I truly enjoy what I'm doing and there even are a few people who want to read it so hell, what else could I possibly want? ;)

Anyway: very much up for reading whenever you decide to post anything, and by the way, thanks for adding me!

Hey, my pleasure! Don't know why you're happy... I'm gonna mercilessly demand ficcage from you...

You guys are sweet. It might be a while till I post anything... I admit, I feel weird about writing rps...

But I might make some icons :)

Then you'll probably be pretty glad to hear that I finished part 6 of "The Fire" and sent it to my beta just today xD

Oh, icons are always good too! Yay for that :)

What? Part 6?

AHHHHHHHHHHH! YAYYYY!
