*pokes head up* oh hai!

hi guys, this is just a short drop-by.

+ I have been reading my friends list, just not commenting on much of anything. time time time! I has none of it. sorry.

+ I kind of sort of really hate my period. cramps, I have plenty of.

+ nanowrimo is actually going pretty well. I'm still a little bit behind, but not by enough to actually be worried about, especially if I can get in 3K today (which, uh, I can, since I can write 1000 words in 15 minutes, consistently).



so yeah. I've been keeping an eye on the progress of those of you who are doing it, but I'm just curious - where is everyone? wordcount, how's the story going?

+ something is totally relevant to interests! I am writing, for my English class, a 1-1.5K paper on social interaction on the internet and how it can totally be good for teenagers and other such things. obviously, I'll be drawing on personal experience - I found a journal called 'Computers in Human Behavior' (!!!) which has several good articles, and I was wondering if any of you knew any good articles I could use. I'd ask for blog posts, but citing them would be... problematic. :P

I've been meaning to read this one for ages but never got around to it, but it sounds like it might be useful for your essay: Fan fiction and fan communities in the age of the Internet. You might also want to check out the Organization for Transformative Works.

Good to see you again!
I'm a lurker - I'm on here once a day, even if I post nothing. But I'm at the word count for the day. What's your penname for NaNo? I'm theSilverTippedFeather, if you wanted to look me up :)
Ahh, wordcounts will drive me MAD! I can't believe I'm saying this, especially with Thanksgiving so close on the horizon, but...
I can't wait for November to be over already.

HI BB. Nice to see that you're back, sort of! :D

Also, 1K in 15 minutes? *so jealous* I'm in kind of a slump ATM, so it takes me almost an hour to get 1K done. The action is picking up a little, though, so hopefully it'll get faster.

AAAAAH. YOU WROTE THIS PAPER AND LASS IS WRITING ABOUT THEMES IN NARNIA AND MERLIN AND SUSAN. I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT THE INTERNET. AND FANDOMS.
