Why a 25+ meme ?

Being a slightly older kpop and kdrama fan I (and a few others with me) always get a little disappointed by the friending memes.
Lots of 12-17ish year olds.  Nothing wrong with being that age (it's wonderful), but someone 25+ or even 35+ can get a bit
discouraged by it. At least that's how it is for me.
I suspect there might be lots of older fans, like me, who feel like that. If you're 25+ - 35+ you really don't have much in common with a
16 year old.That's a fact. It always keeps me from participating in the memes, thinking what's the use ?I'm thinking there might be more fans out there feeling the same way. So therefore the 25+ cut off. Also since this is a 25+ meme please only participate if you're in fact 25 or older !

Also this meme doesn't have a deadline. No need to comment within the first 5 mins after posting (though you're welcome to do so).
There's time zones and I assume most 25+ y.o. have college,work and families to deal with (that pesky real life !)

Please feel free to come back and check for new comments anytime, or for lazy people (like me :p) track this post for new comments ;)

Bah. I don't care. The thing is, when people say that, even if they mean to be nice, it wounds writers. I don't think they realize that.

It's hard when people are so... ungrateful. Rude. Whathaveyou. Both? *stepping off my soap box now*

I have a friend that would love your writing! She's all about angst. ^_^

You don't have to really know much about Gundam Wing to read it - maybe check up on the wiki page - because she (he?) does SUCH a good job. I'd give my eyeteeth to write something so wonderful.

We should colaborate on something, you and me. Really.

It sucked, and it possibly may have put me off of writing. I mean, I have the inception AU that I posted, but I have this zombie one that (probably) won't be posted (if you're curious about it, I can email it).

I think both, yes. But I guess I'll give her credit for saying something? IDK. Oh well. What's done is done.

I am definitely going to have to find this fic. My sister likes to send me SGA fic, too. LOL. I understand what you mean. I've read a lot of really good fic that makes me realize that I'm only pretending at it. :-/

O RLY. Tell me MORE. :D

EXACTLY! *steps on soap box again* Seriously. I think people need to be careful - I've been writing for almost 30 years, and that sort of comment still will put me off writing. It HURTS. *hugs* Yes, I'd love to read it.

Done is done, true. I think you should keep writing. I really do.

Okay. I found it. It's on ff.net - the first chapter is here. - don't start it until you've got a LOT of time. It's hard to stop reading it. I was just glad I didn't find it until it was done.

I'm not sure there is more, but I think we could have FUN with a collaboration. We'll just have to find something fun to work with. ^_^

What's yr email address? (if you don't feel comfortable sharing it publicly, just send me a message via LJ). And, yeah, I think that people can't quite find that happy medium between fangirling a fanfic and being overly critical.

I want to ... we'll have to see. I do write non-fanfic stuff, but it doesn't see the light of day usually.

Thank you and LOL! I've bookmarked it for when I have a lot of time.

Oh, man. I'm totally excited now. :D :D

*happy dancin'* I think they can't either. I don't know. I just try to give reviews I'd like to get, you know?

Ooooh! Original stuff is so hard. I usually save that for Nano - just because I find I need that push. At some point, here, though, I have to make the definite transition. Especially because I really do want to get published.

Bookmarking it was a good idea - I started rereading it and wound up staying up until midnight finishing.....

Me too!

[blue_ant]

I've sent it. <3

I try to do it, too. But I suck so bad. I'm best at reviews for stuff written by my friends, lulz.

I did nano for a couple of years, but last year I just couldn't do it and I dropped out of all of my big bangs, D: so now, if I write, I just write when I feel like it instead of pressuring myself (though I do well when I do that, too). Oh, man, I would LOVE to be published. Gah.

LOLOL seriously.

[andersenmom.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, I agree. it is easier to write reviews for friends (although I suck at that, too).

You know, I went through a time where I couldn't get anything done, too. i currently have six ideas floating around in my head, and I need to get them all out and on paper - even just notes - so I don't lose them. That would be horrible....

I don't write as much or as regularly as I would like to. I have got to get off Tumblr.... too much there!

[blue_ant]

One of the few things I like about AO3 is that you can leave kudos w/out leaving actual feedback. I am lazy :-/

I just find myself waiting until the time is right for me to write. I just wish I knew what that would be.

Oh, god. Tumblr = huge time suck.
