I've never heard of Otherkin.

I was born blue and black but people keep insisting it's white and gold.

Having new meds that cost $140,000+ a year. No, that is not a typo.

Hopefully my insurance will cover most of it

Being sick.
My throat has been hurting all day, and my stomach hurts.
But hey! The 1978 Incredible Hulk show is on Netflix!

*Netkeeper* · 03-06-2015, 04:23 PM

Abusers.

On another community, I'm watching a paedophile abuser get called out/reported to the police, but holy **** just watching that person try to defend themselves and watching the victim being convinced everything is okay is really making me sick.

Flaming healthcare system on a stick, wtf. What, is it the LAST pill of it's kind on Earth?? Is it three stories tall??

Edit: Was just a nothing day with little complaint, but I found one to add. (Yay?)

So today's grinder is... People who can't accept blame or being at fault for anything, even things that are not that important, so they twist everything to make it your fault. My mother has done this crap forever, and right now I wish I could finally give her a piece of my mind about it.

Sinus troubles again, but that's nothing new.

I've never heard of an otherkin. Can anyone enlighten me on that?

You can always just google it.

Realizing that, after I finish my tenth TMNT fanfic, I probably will be done with the 80s show and won't have a clue what to write next. I'd love to do more Sherlock but I have to wait until it comes back on for any ideas. I wrote a few Doctor Who 'fics, but almost none of them got that much attention, so it can prove disheartening when you're trying to move forward and do new long-term projects.

*BubblyShell22* · 03-07-2015, 04:57 PM

Well, you could always try for some wrestling fan fic if you wanted. I know you said you wanted to do more in that fandom. Also, I know the Nick series isn't your cup of tea, but you could always do your own version of it that could be the way YOU would have envisioned the series. I think you could do a good job on that.

Thanks. I definitely want to do some more WWE fics down the line, I'm just waiting 'till 'Mania is over before committing to much. I need an angle that inspires me. I watch so little of the product these days outside of the big PPVs.

I still have my Thick of It TMNT parody to complete, and a sequel to We Are Shadows at some point to consider, so I probably won't be done completely,

I think I said all I wanted to say with the Nick show with my April trilogy a while back

*IndigoErth* · 03-07-2015, 07:40 PM

PRINTERS! Again.

Grabs all the paper left in the tray, manages to waste all but the last sheet, becomes angry that the paper tray is now empty. (Well whose fault is that??) Is now refusing to go back to printing and is certain it still has no paper.

I'm trying to work on tax stuff and printers are half the challenge.

Ah, I see. I'm glad you have the TMNT parody to complete as well as your last novel and your sequel to We Are Shadows. And I get that, but I'm just saying that you could always do more with the Nick show with things you don't like as I have a feeling April is only the tip of the iceberg. But it's your call.

Otherkin issues: Pretty much the epitome of identity politics and first world problems taken up to eleven. If a person thinks they are an elf, vampire, or dragon stuck in a human body, then it says they have had too much time on their hands to navel-gaze and not enough time to experience real problems.

Maybe instead of doing fan fiction, try coming up with your own original ideas and create an entire new series. That's what I've been doing. It's a slow process, but definitely gets your creative juices flowing.

I wrote some original short stories last year that I posted to Fictionpress, some of which are semi-autobiographical and based off personal experiances.

Before my big computer crash of 2010, I also got through two-thirds of an original novel.

That's cool. I'm actually in the process of writing a novel myself, though I've been preoccupied with a lot of personal stuff lately like finding a job and saving money for trips out west. Also, it's a little tough to work on my story because a lot of the characters are based on friends and family I don't get to see or talk to much anymore, which makes me kinda sad. Also the main character is a fictional version of my last pet who is no longer with us, so that really gets me down.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying that.

Jeph, I've thought about doing original work, but for now, I'm sticking with fan fiction as my Turtles muse won't go away.

What grinds my gears: An anonymous reviewer reviewed my story Turtle Hunt and said that I'm a grown woman who still writes like a teenager. What the hell?

*pennydreadful* · 03-08-2015, 06:00 PM

Mondays grind my gears. They're so fecking depressing. They just sit there like a towering monument to the misery of adult wage-slavery.
