Above is where I wish I was today. In Germany. I’ve been there. At that castle. It’s gorgeous. Wish I was there this very second.
I’m tired. My emotional/mental state is seriously dragging right now.
I posted Who’s the Daddy and the response has been pretty good but now I have people telling me I don’t punish Spock enough and others arguing basically that Jim deserves to be treated badly because he slept with three people in 48 hours. It’s exhausted me and drained me and made me regret even posting it or anything right now, to be honest. Clearly I am not in the mood.
My family member is out of the hospital and recovering reasonably well. I will be seeing her this evening.
Is it just me or when you see the pictures from that interview Chris did with W Magazine the only reaction I could give was “Gee, I wish you’d wash your damn hair”. Sorry, greasy hair does nothing for me, even on Chris Pine.
So the other day we are watching the Karl Urban/Rock movie, Doom, for like the 10th time and there’s this strip of something lying on the tile floor on the way to our downstairs bathroom. Milo is going to the bathroom with the door open like always and goes, “What’s that on the floor?” I think it’s just like a strip of material or ribbon or something because the cats play with that stuff all the time. So I reached down to pick it up…and it’s a worm! Ugh. I screamed. Yes, I did. Which impressed the cats because they went running like Godzilla was coming through the front door or something. But it was slimy and wriggling like worms do. So I dropped it, picked up a tissue and killed it. Afterward, I was told I should have saved it and tossed it back outside. Keep in mind Milo has a bug jar he uses to traps spiders and the like to save their lives by returning them to the wild. I said next time he can pick up the worm.
What has this got to do with Doom? Not much. Other than that movie has some pretty gruesome things going on in it, like the tongue by itself just lashing around the lab. Yeah, Karl doesn’t always pick stellar movies to star in, let’s just say. But during a creepy movie to see a creepy worm, well, just gross.
My stomach has been bugging me for about three days now and I can honestly say I am sick of it.

Ugh that worm!!!! Nope!
Sorry about the idiots on Who’s The Daddy? really. That’s just uncool, and I love the way the story is progressing. i understand how that kind of reaction is upsetting and makes you want to give up. Please don’t. But ugh, there’s no need for the negativity. Because the story is really awesome.
Bad stomach is bad. I feel your pain.
All the hugs!

Neuschwanstein Castle! So beautiful. That’s on the list of places I want to visit someday.
I’m sorry you’re tired. *big hugs* I am loving Who’s the Daddy. I just don’t understand people who comment negatively.
Glad your family member is out of the hospital!
Agree with you about the W magazine interview with Chris…his damn hair.
OMG! Worm! No! I would’ve freaked out as well. I would’ve killed it too. Let Milo deal with it next time. Never seen Doom. Don’t think I want to now LOL
Sorry about your stomach. Hope you feel better soon!

You would love it. Seriously. Magnificent castle. We went on a tour inside of it. One of my favorite parts of the trip. And the surrounding village is just full of such charm. Sigh. I wish I was there. I really do.
I guess I can at least say people are invested in the story but they are so so so focused on Spock being a jerk it’s tiresome. And if they aren’t focused on Spock being a jerk, it’s Jim being a slut. I can’t win. They all love Bones though. HA
I really couldn’t even look at the pics or story from the article because seriously I could NOT get past that hideous greasy hair. I guess that makes me shallow, I dunno.
Doom…yes. Well if you’ve seen Aliens (the one with the marines, so the second one) you’ve basically seen Doom though Doom is far far far cheesier than Aliens. There are a few minor differences but the jist is the same. The Rock says things like “we’re Marines, we’re paid to follow orders not think for ourselves” and other things like that or similar. Not an exact quote but that’s the basics. LOL

Yeah, reading some of the comments was kinda like watching John McEnroe during his tennis matches when he was young and hot headed. There’s always going to be some “directors” around. I think your story is very good and I agree with Kris. Ultimately the decision rests with you because your the writer, I will support you either way should you decide to continue or leave it. For now take a step back away from it, maybe things will cool down, who knows.
I am happy to hear your family member was released from the hospital. Great news!
I have not seen the photos of Chris Pine’s interview, does anyone have a link? All I can find on online searches is stuff from years ago or in November. I am not a fan of greasy hair but hell I am curious about this shit.
Worms? Well I guess if we ever met and I see a bug or worm nearby, I’ll have to discard it for you. My sons call on me to get rid of pests when we encounter one in our household. I was not like that before having kids, but I can go into full Mamma Bear mode instantly when needed. 🙂

I get passion in related to a story you are enjoying but the whole, I want him to get sick and crap himself and the whole Spock needs to suffer and Jim’s a slut BS is just too much for me right now. So I am working on my flashfic instead of anything for AO3 right now.
Here is a link to at least some of it and it shows the greasy hair

It’s weird reading comments like that so I see not wanting to hear that.
Yesterday I felt invisible on AO3. All I received was two comments on my recent update… Yours and one other person.

AO3 can be a very strange site. My very first fiction on there, The Bond Between Them, there were several chapters where I got 1-3 comments. I think my next few fics kind of went the same way. Some fics I’ve gotten tons of comments on and then others it’s like crickets. There’s no real rhyme or reason for it honestly. Some people NEVER comment. Some people comment occasionally. Some people always comment once they spark with your writing. You just never know.
