Now I'm doing quizzes! Whee! Rebelling is fun!

Oh dear... it might be true.

You're the epitome of snobbishness!


Are You a Fic Snob?
brought to you by Quizilla

I feel like a nine-year-old. But snobbish nine-year-old it seems.

But, hey, I got a picture of Col. Jack O'Neil, and that's gotta count for something.

Heheheh. I am the sneaky snob. I'm pretentious AND crafty.

A sneaky snob, my favorite kind!

Viva La Revolucion, baby. I'm currently rebelling myself, but it's more out of laziness than avoidance.

No! Mine. [hogs the remote] It is the secret to my power!

(Holy shite. I'm really out of it today. Don't mind me; I'm sick with a massive sinus infection)

Oh god, sorry you have a cold. I've been sick most of the last four months and it has not been fun.

Oh, don't worry. It's all in my lungs and sinuses, so it's not contagious...just painful.

But just in case...[visibly licks the remote with her germ infested tongue]

Want it back? >D

Apparently I'm not a snob at all. Interesting.

Isn't it strange? I didn't consider myself a snob, but I answered the questions honestly.

Whoopsie. I guess I am. ;)

I think it's because you're a writer (a really good one) and might be more critical of the fics you read. I am not a writer, but I thought I would be a snob becaue typos and poor characterization (and H/D!) drive me mad and usually - but not always - turn me off to a fic.

God, is there any way to answer this that doesn't sound like a smug, "yes, I am *buffs nails in Malfoyesque manner* SUCH a great writer, aren't I?" I suspect that it's just that I read very little fanfiction now. I remember my answers once would have been: "anything in my favourite pairing that doesn't kill them off or make them both sound like 14-year-old teenage girls! And yes, I read anything I can get my hands on."

When I started writing, my reading time went waaaaaay down, because the choice became: do I hunt for Lucius/Percy smut, or just write it? Hmm. Which is easier?

And I am thrilled you decided on writing ;-)

Raise your glass to the laziness (and frustration) that produces Percy-fic! Really, it is very hard to find Percy-fic.

Tell me about it. I had found this one author that wrote a bunch of nice Percy/Oliver, but other than that, zippo. That's why I'm so happy you're writing Percy fic!

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2004-01-09 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Arkady has a good Percy/Lucius, Impossible, and there are two Percy sites. But they both seem to have been down for a while.

Perfect? (http://www.geocities.com/percy_perfect/)Hasn't been updated since 2002. And not for lack of submissions. But Price of Wisdom is there, and that's a good story.

Positively Percy (http://www.geocities.com/booya_nz/percy.html) - has had a promise of a layout change forever, and it's been shut down forever. Sigh.

I wish I had the time to build a Percy shrine. But I simply don't.

Oh man I forgot about those sites, they've been dead for so long, Price of Wisdom is an awesome fic thanks for the reminder. And of course I liked all of Cairnsey's fics. I'll have to go back and reread some of those stories. (and I need to clean out my bookmarks - I've got too many I don't visit and then I forget about others that I should be surfing!)

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2004-01-09 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Are there any other Percy sites? Sigh.

*whimper.*

The only other one I know of - which hasn't been updated since Jan '03 is:

it's Percy/Oliver. I particularly liked the 'Dancing' series and the 'Swimming' series.
