Procrastination Poll, Take 2

[teyla]

I'm thinking about how to post my Nano fic. I know, that's still a long time off, but the brain's still been thinking about it.

I've always posted fic in one single installment, but I don't know if I want to do that with this fic, because 50,000 words in one installment - that's quite a lot to read in one go. Some people positively despise having to wait, though. I was wondering what the general consensus is: is chaptered fic better, or should people just finish their stuff and put it up there for people to read it whenever they have time?

On another note, omg people are stamping me as Jenny. How do I deserve being stamped as Jenny? I should never have posted to this comm, lol. Oh, the things I do in the name of procrastination.

I can't choice anything because thats defends from the story. Is it a pairing I do love and the fic is captivating me than I want to read the whole fic in once. If that's just interesting I would choice "chaptered in irregular installmaents" if the fic can faszinate me. And if the fic is wonderful and great but not captivating because it's not my pairing or I don't know the show very well I would choice the first option.

Hmm, so according to you it'd be up to the author? Because they can't know how much you're going to like their fic. ;)

Yeah, welcome to my world! ;-))

I don't know it either untill I read it. *sigh*

See? hard life I do have, see?

I'm happy enough to wait. Even if I love the story SOOOO much, I'm still happy enough to wait. It's the writers perogative to take as long as they want.

On the other hand? LOL Jenny XD totaly not what I thought they'd go for. But then, Harriet Jones? Really? XD

[teyla]

JENNY OMG SHE IS THE WORST SUE IN HISTORY. I'm not a Sue, am I? Please tell me I'm not a Sue.

Yeah, I saw Harriet Jones. You need one of these ID cards. xD

At least some people have seen sense now and are voting Ten for me. One actually voted Jack Harkness, which I thought was hilarious xD. But I've got 10 comments now, and most of them say Jenny. Woe!

LOL OBVIOUS PREFERRED CHOICE OF STAMP IS OBVIOUS. Not that I blame you a bit; the only character TO be stamped as in the New Whoniverse is Ten. (Well, no, okay, I would actually be pleased with Martha, Donna, SJS or Harriet Jones too, personally. Not that I'm anything like those characters, but they're not bad characters.)

Hilariously, nobody's noticed this. People = dense. (Also, the Jack vote? What are they ON?)

I'd post, but I honestly don't think I fit any of the characters very well. I'd probably get stamped as Mickey or something.


Aaand, don't hit me...but I can actually see where they're getting Jenny from. You're kinda...bouncy and upbeat. Yeah, she's a Sue; but for the whole stamping thing to work, you sort of have to take each character as legit in the universe.

[teyla]

Hey, I was being honest when I filled out that form! If I'd wanted Ten, I'd have babbled way more and included 'bananas' and 'little shops' in Likes. ;) I rp the guy, it'd have disturbed me if I'd gone for him and no one would have noticed.

I was in kind of a LOL INTARWEBZ ENTARTAIN ME PLZ mood when I filled it out, so maybe that's where I'm getting the bouncy Jenny vibe from. But seriously, I am so very much not bouncy in real life. Also, I am not blond or pretty or petite, and I can't do what she did with those laser ray things, lol. And I do hope I'm less of a Sue. D:

The Jack vote made me lol, actually. I wouldn't be able to flirt if my life depended on it. What I found a lot more disturbing than any of the other votes was Rose. Did I come across as dumb enough to be stamped as Rose? o.0

I would have loved to get Ten, true, but I'd've been happy with Harriet Jones, Donna or River Song, too. Just, if I get to be one of the womenz, can I have an actual woman and not a little girl like Jenny or Rose? D:

[beandelphiki.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm not saying it's not honest! It looks honest to me. Just that particular choices of phrasing or whatever subtly emphasize Ten. Not that I haven't done the same thing; when I applied to house_stamped, I KNOW my app leaned towards House even though I tried to make it not. At a certain point, I would have been lying about myself if it HADN'T leaned towards House.

Kind of impossible to help it when they're your OTC, I know.

I just find it funny that people are missing this. I have no idea what the Rose vote was about either; I looked at that and went, "What? She said she doesn't even LIKE Rose."


You're just pretty chipper on the internet in general. 'Tis not a bad thing.

I've apparently gotten a reputation in some circles for being a jerk and a wanker (who, me? I just say what I think!), but in offline life I'm very non-confrontational. The RL personality/internet personality thing to me isn't REALLY either a split or a lie (in most cases)...there's just a fuller truth there that can't be seen in any one situation.


(Don't you WANT to be able to do the laser ray thing? I don't want to be a Sue, but the laser ray thing would a very neat talent to have.)

[teyla]

Yeah, it's the OTC thing, lol. I did try to make it un-Tennish. Apparently it worked. WASN'T AIMING FOR JENNY THOUGH. D:

The internet is for porn fun! I guess that's why I'm usually in a bright mood when I'm online. Although I'm not usually prone to moodiness offline, either. I'm just not very talkative in RL, lol.

Hah, well, people call me a wanker, too. Apparently it's inevitable if you're outspoken about your opinions. I always try to keep the srs bzns out of it, though. And yeah, there's a difference between internet and RL personality - online, you get to see the side of people that they usually hide in RL.

Oh, yes. Being able to do the laser ray thing would be awesome.

I'd say: chapters on a regular basis. No matter how excellent a story is, 50.000 words seems as a bit much. Just my opinion!
