If this comes across my dash one more time...

 

 

His eyes, the eyebrows, that sad smile. Oh who am I kidding, the hellspiral is where I live now.

 

 

If I thought I had any hope of emerging from the feels corner tonight.....

Deviantart has that feature, but unfortunately its not much of a site for publishing literature (heh, fanfiction is classified as 'literature' technically). 

 

I've found that for whatever reason, Mass Effect stories get much harsher reviews than Dragon Age ones. Even the controversial stuff! You can write about how much of an innocent little kitten Anders is, and barely get a funny look in return, while one mention of an Mass relay will get you pages of technical criticism about how these theoretical concepts don't work the way you think they work. I have no idea why.

 

That is strange. I wonder why the fandom cultures are so different even within games in the same company.

Really? I never got much beyond "ZOMG cute" for Mass Effect. But then again, I never tried to write anything very serious for ME. It was all Shakarian fluff, and random kink meme prompts that struck me as amusing. Harry Potter remains the community where I consistently got the most critical feedback.

Though sometimes I find that positive feedback, as long as it's specific, can also be helpful. It helps pinpoint what's working for me, and then I fret about it less in the future.

DAPPER PIRATE KITTEH 

[drosophila]

I am a grown woman who still has to to stand idly by while my mother tells stories.

Though, for the most part, I would get into a lot of things because I was curious but also very honest about it. Like I'd open bottles of medicines but tell my mother I did it and that I didn't take any from the bottle, I just wanted to see what they looked like. Though I did once try eating one of those little silica desiccant packets that say not to eat them all over, but in my own defense, I wasn't literate yet.

Stuff I've done that I remember:

1) I got fascinated by the fact that if you mash cheese with your fingers, it can become like playdoh. So then I plastered about a quarter of a door with cheese.

2) I was also fascinated by crayons melting in the heat. So I put all my crayons in a frying pan and put them on the hot plate to make one giant mega crayon.

3) This got dangerous when I found some of my uncle's firecrackers and thought they were crayons. In the pan they went. I'm so lucky he caught me before they exploded in my face.

4) We had a cat and since I'd been told to cut my nails, I thought someone had to cut the cat's nails too. I was not so lucky that time, that cat really messed me up

5) When I got a bit older I loved sneaking into places, such as old buildings that were being restored and closed to the public.

What are some of your childhood prank stories guys?

Don't be afraid to criticise the panties out of me. I have no beta readers and as such what goes on AO3 is what came out of my personal check. My husband knows I write for fun but isn't in reading it, and when I approached the handful of my ex WoW friends I got no response either, so I am on my own.

I can take it.

I might ignore the comment, but that's another issue.

 

Edit. Oh one thing. I know my sentences are sometimes complicated or trailing off. But I seriously cannot point out the culprits. So if you see a long ass sentence not making any darn sense,  tell me which one is it.

I used to do this a lot. Mostly houses being renovated or for sale, but also one door on the neighborhood church used to always be open, and I'd sneak down to the basement.

 

But I was mostly just insatiably curious. Read about things, have questions, explore stuff, read a lot, spend time watching science TV - dissections, operations, space exploration, nature documentaries. But when I actively touched or explored places and things, I'd always be careful and super honest about everything.

 

I was such a tiny cinnamon roll of curiosity.

My husband gives me the most harsh criticism, he's literally said my character's a psychopath and the scenes I write remind him of interrogation scenes from Law and Order SVU and he has no idea who would be interested in this. I'm unfazed

My criticism - give her more hugs.

LOL, I started writing yesterday about how Solas wants to hug her, but it turned into smut

That wasn't exactly where my frequent hug suggestion was intended to go, but hugging can definitely be a part of smut.

Still no likes but OMG, the first three.  Is it any wonder you got into science?  Here are some of my childhood stories:

• Dino wars.  My childhood best friend and I met at the library when I got one bin of plastic dinosaurs, and he got the other.  We proceeded to tip them all out, line them up with dino-generals and commanders, and turn the library playroom into Dinosaur D-Day.
• According to my mother, I used to lie in my crib and yell "Lightbulb!" as loudly as I could at the ceiling light above.  I don't remember this.
• When I was five, I walked from home by myself in the middle of winter after missing the bus.  It didn't occur to me to call my parents; I'd memorized the route home.  Two hours later, I found our house surrounded by cop cars   Our family friends said I had chutzpah, but that stunt still earned me two months of grounding and remedial safety homework from the police department 
• I was exploring a church and found myself in the little storage closet where they kept the boxes of communion wafers.  Curiosity (and peckishness) compelled me to eat half a roll of the things.  
• I once dumped a bunch of baking soda and vinegar in the bathtub, then sprayed in half a can of aerosol air-freshener to hear it fizz.  Because I'd seen a baking soda volcano on Bill Nye the Science Guy and thought, "Nah.  Go big or go home."

@Sable, my science hat off to you for that last one

I wasn't a bad kid.  Just a curious, determined, and easily bored one  If my boyfriend and I do have kids, and any of them turn out like me, that'll be karmic payback for all the white hair I gave my poor mother.

A proper hug is scheduled in exactly 7 chapters. What, they have trust issues, ok?

1) Climbed on top of the garage roof when I was about 5 or 6, luckily the neighbors saw me.

 

2) Cut big chunks out of mine and my sister's hair in such a way it was very difficult to hide - my mother used to be a hairdresser, so I was just copying her, right?

 

3) Collapsed a two-hundred pound clothes chest onto my parent's bed trying to get cookies, nearly killing myself, my sister and my brother who was laying on the bed.

 

4) Closed the garage door so my sister would come around the corner and run face first into it. She needed several stitches.

 

5) My siblings and I would regularly run away from my mother in the store and hide in the clothing racks, also I stole candy sometimes as a child (now I just steal it from my child after Halloween ).

I used to do all sorts of experiments too since a lot of what I watched were PBS science shows, but man, I was always so careful and cautious and honest. My curiosity always led me to try all sorts of things. So I was baking early and I used to a lot of crafts. My dad had the pleasure of sitting there on Saturday mornings not watching cartoons, but watching his daughter's favorite cooking shows together. My dad also frequently took me to all the museums I loved, but the aquarium, and the Bronx Zoo and American Museum of Natural History were all like our second homes.

 

I'd paint. I'd write. I think my personal motto was try everything. One of my early, and naive, goals was to learn every language so I could be able to talk to everyone.

I drew a thing and wanted to share.  There's a few things I want to fix up, like the eyes, but for now, here's a snarly Dread Wolf because I didn't spend years obsessed with wolves/werewolves and drawing them to not draw him.

1) Climbed on top of the garage roof when I was about 5 or 6, luckily the neighbors saw me.

 

I have it on good authority that climbing onto a porch roof and trying to jump down using a garbage bag as a parachute is a bad idea and parents tend to frown upon their children doing it. Also, gravity teaches a hard lesson.

 

I also found that parents tend to frown on their offspring mixing up any sort of household chemicals in empty glass jars because, hey, that's what the scientists on tv do, right? Bleach and ammonia? Oh, well...

 

Somewhere in between keeping us from killing ourselves and wanting to kill us themselves, my parents were proud to have kids that were so creative...

I was a bit like that, I loved trying everything (except crafts and sports, I sucked at every single one of them).

Reading and writing was always #1, then biology. (This was in high school, my high school heavily focused on language) My dad loves hunting and hiking, so we would go to the forest together and look for different bird nests or small animals. We always had lots of domestic animals and would go observe the other ones. I also did a lot of singing and sang in a choir for most of high school and the beginning of college. Painting sometimes, though on a completely amateur level. I did some math/physics/compsci stuff on and off, but I'm just about average with those.
