So uncreative I even forgot the post title

I make it a policy not to read reviews. Instead, I measure them with a ruler. The longer they are the better I feel. - Joseph Conrad

Hey, he has a point. I wouldn't read fanfiction unless it had a substantial number of long reviews, not just a torrent of "ZOMG i <3 it plz rite moar!" or "OMG u suck u should neva rite againz!" At least people found the time to read and post in detail what they liked/loved/hated/wanted to set on fire about the story because they thought it was worth it.

That said, I have written fanfiction. I just never posted it anywhere, not on fanfiction.net, nada. Actually, I never really finished or wrote out the many plotbunnies that developed in my head. Which is kind of sad, because I think I had way more creativity as a 15 year old than I do now. I seem to have used bigger words too, oddly enough. And my only completed work is a mild 1 page humor fic on Sir Andrew Ffoulkes attempting to tie a cravat - I had several serious plotlines regarding Les Miserables but felt almost too depressed to flesh them out. (Except for that one weird one using Nightwish lyrics to highlight the students at the barricades.)

Instead, I have a 5 page essay on the Salem witch trials looming up in a week. And actually, being the history nerd I am, it's not that bad. Except for the page length. Meh to that.

On a final note, my favourite Grantaire actor from Les Mis is playing the Phantom over in Vegas. I so want to be there.
