Whinging - feel free to ignore

[lady_karelia]

Admining a fic today had me really upset. Like, seriously upset. The author's response, which was ignorant at best, and certainly defiant, made it worse. I don't know, maybe I'm just burnt out. I want to write, and as much as I love mentoring authors to the point of validation, sometimes, I just feel overwhelmed. Like today. So, yeah, I'm hopelessly behind with betas right now. I had, until tonight, not written a word in about four days. We're extremely short in the admin department this week, and for some reason, there were loads of really long chapters in the queue.

Thankfully, tonight Lucius suggested a hot bath, which was a brilliant idea, since I went to Lush yesterday. And wow, did that bath help the Muse. About 350 words written for the LMHG exchange. Not a lot, but it's a start, and what's more, I have the entire outline. So, yeah, I'm feeling better now. But I still wish people would apply brains before uploading fic. Anyways, Lucius, with the help of Mozart and Sibelius, fixed my mood.

It's unfortunate that the admin shortage is happening just when everything from the ss/hg exchange has started rolling in.

Thanks so much for all your hard work!

And it looks like everyone held their stuff back while the exchange was going on and now started posting again. I refuse to look at the queue today, lol.

Thanks, love, I appreciate your kind words!

Well, everyone but silly o-fic writers like me! Doesn't seem to have affected my readership, slim as it is.

I don't understand the lack of following. I said to Shaf the other day that when I grow up, I want to write like you do, and he wished me luck. I can't imagine anyone not loving your writing, no matter what it is.
