Feb. 10th, 2015 04:32 pmOkay, brain. How about the next time you feel the urge to spend hours writing 3600 words, we make it something worthwhile, even useful, like, oh, one of those fanfics you've been sitting on* for four to six years? Not RPF, and smut RPF at that? No, I do not care that it began life as a legitimate record of a dream. If you were just tacking on a short bit of ending, maybe. But have some sense of proportion: you took a 700-word start and went way off the rails on a crazy train!
* A brain actually sitting on things? I guess that makes me a literal butthead?
eta: I just realized it sounds like I was intending to disparage RPF in general here as "not worthwhile", the same way a lot of people talk down about fanfic. That isn't my intent at all. Please, do write RPF if that's your cuppa. (I've enjoyed some I've read, too, including smut RPF.) I just meant it isn't what I'd rather my own brain was doing with its CPU cycles.
