So, I was away for a while with my university degree and now I'm doing a Masters, which will mean less time to write than ever. So, I wanted to get my ducks in a row as it were.
I decided the best thing to do was put together a fic list and I thought I would extract my favourite post rant about shipping and how corporate jackasses are sticking their fat corporate noses in and trying to make everything suck, from my story Soulmate and place it here so we can all agree. Do not mess with our thing! We have long been successfully fangirling without your help and long may we continue!!!

“Is that what the kids are calling it these days shipping? Ya know my granddaughter says it's all on the online now, I know let's make a vote for these kids and they can tell us what guys and gals they want to see together, splendid idea if I do say so myself!-
Honestly! You can just picture this scenario starring out-of-touch network fat cat, -pictured here as an actual fat cat for your delectation- giving his subordinates headache-
With shipping less of the dirty thrilling secret of us fangirls as shows like Shadowhunters actively ship their two males leads, we have to rejoice and… and…
take back our damn shipping lanes fangirls before the norms ruin everything!!!
Look, I am all for what Shadowhunters did with hashtagging Magnus and Alec because A: it was HOTT and B: They frigging mean it!!! Unlike certain other shows and networks-
-Remember the fiasco a while back when some A-hole network was all "vote for your favourite shipping couples" and then cancelled the vote when they realised the vote was almost pure Sterek, and tried to weasel out of it by spouting nonsense about it “not being canon” instead of just admitting it was pure unadulterated homophobia.
-Especially since this was around season one or two of Teen Wolf and no one had any idea if Sterek was going to be cannon at that point, least of all the damn writers!- and then the awesome Jack Barrowman had to call the network out on their bull! not to mention their complete lack of understanding about ships, and the often vehement passion it inspires.
“-Wait aren't those two BOY'S names! Stiles and who the hell is this Derek fellow! O-o?
Must be something wrong with the online. Fix it will you!
... Still happening you say? -Well, I just don't understand these kids these days! Why don't they want this Stiles to find a nice girl? That's normal, that's what normal people want to see”.
“Yes, thank you, I know we've had three sexual assaults and a kidnap-murder story line on our teen network this month alone, but that's normal, that's real life, bad things happen to women who- um, go outside or whatever, everybody knows that! So it's okay to show that, but two men together what kind of degenerate would want to see that?!”
“-I know! It must be the gay agenda clogging up the online- just cancel it to protect the kids these days”
... The fans are angry? ... Um look we can't have two men, sin in the eyes of god and whatnot- now go make sure the lead actresses on all our shows know we need them all to wear wonder-bras this season, and would it kill them to lose the damn underwear!”
“-Oh yeah the shipping couples vote thing. No don't answer the interweb, just cancel the damn thing! I'm telling you, the gay's these days, so damn pushy, it's all human rights this, and representation that”.
“Look, just make some excuse so the gay agenda doesn't send us letters- I can't be dealing with that right now
...Yeah tell them about the cannons, it's not cannon or whatever, that sounds good. Now get my secretary in here, I want to have a word with her about trying to wear flat shoes in the office, I don't care what she says about heels not being necessary for her or any job, I'm the one who has to suffer for it looking at her matronly ankles all day, -she's not thinking about what I want! what the hell does that broad think this is, communist Russia?!”
Most Heartily
Over Anything without the mainstream sticking their commercially driven oars in! -All like
Jeeze!
1. Introduction
So to redress these infringements upon our fangirls seas by frigging tourists! -And to prevent the sinking of my Armada into further disarray, and most of all to captain my fleet of ships once more all like-
er.... Thanks!
Dear readers, I give to you my fic list.
Please peruse it at your leisure and enjoy my twisted tales!!
Please as always let me know what you think and please give kudos to (still) starving writers generously, for I say unto thee truly, tis mothers milk... or metaphorical rum, whatever, please just gimme ;D PLEASE!
-And hey If I, gasp, shock, don't have anything you need why not give me a prompt in the comments?! ;D
curiobi @~.~@
Um, yeah, I know still not fast with the uploads... but I own that now, by trying to make each thing hotter and/or more intriguing than the last! Thereby hopefully convincing you I am worth the wait!
Then there's the thing where I can only write when I feel inspired then I can't stop come rain, shine, or exhaustion, it pours out and I just keep writing.
I am not complaining about this and if it happened all the time I wouldn't have anything resembling a life so I take the bursts of creativity as they come.
What little time I have when I'm not running my business and studying is spent editing. First posts rarely stay the same way for long, and any mistakes are always corrected and first posts rarely stay the same way for long, everything is tweaked and tightened until it is perfect, in other words, it's never a bad idea to re-read my stuff once in a while if you like- There's also the thing we're update delays may mean you have forgotten most of the stories plot! Again sorry. I promise I am doing my best! ;)
So, um, Yeah, drumroll please!
My point is Screw you frigging lousy ship-jumping norms trying to hop on the bandwagon without even frigging understanding a thing about where it's going!
-Jeeze!
Can’t we fangirls-
Squee
