  10. Funny Typos

    in Personal Rants & Journals

    Posted

    I sometimes have trouble deciding whether to write "confused" or "puzzled"...and when my mind combines the two and I mistype at the same time, it comes out: "confuxzled." :bash::pcwhack::blush: ...Yeah, let's just say it can be embarrassing. I confuxzle myself when I do that. ;)

    You must type really fast for your fingers to get mixed messages from your brain. My typos are usually just my fingers hitting the wrong keys due to ... ahem ... inexperience. *no talent* It would be interesting if I actually posted something that I hadn't back-spaced the hell out of or proof-read to death. I'll probably try that in the chat.

    My odd word combos are usually spoken because I definitely talk faster than my brain can keep up.

    Kevin and Rob (M/M): Forensics

    With deep indigo eyes, Kevin was known to be the best human remains in the land. However the one thing that made his heart flutter with desire to decompose was Rob. How could he not crave that microscopic hunk of Rob's hot pathology degree?

    As he entered the desolate room he spied the golden haired Rob in the corner.

    "There you are!" Kevin pointed at him, "I have been wanting to liquify in your maggots all day long! Are you ready to mutilate me?"

    With a half arrogant smirk, Rob nodded, "Do you think you can make me reconstruct your corpse?"

    Kevin began to feel his dismemberment rising to the occasion, "Yeah I bet I can make you!" he accepted the challenge.

    Both men closed the gap between them and Rob instantly reached out and dissected on Kevin's Rigor mortis. "What did you think of that, you big specimen." Rob asked with his own evidence growing.

    "Oh, Coroner!" Kevin moaned in violent trauma and now his rotting body began to grab Rob with postmortem intent!

    Both mens hands began to examine as their tissues met in a passionate decay.

    With frenzied speed Kevin began to undo Rob's rib spreader and freed his surgical implements.

    Rob shivered in want and anticipation of the cause of death he knew Kevin would give him.

    "Yeah, I want it necrotic and long!" Rob breathed in deeply.

    Kevin now blood spattered Rob's body and began to mummify his against Rob's formalin.

    Both men began to irradiate in a deep passion as they sterilized on one another.

    Rob felt Kevin's identity filling up his tight report and he groaned in passion as he felt his own scalpel getting ready to autopsy.

    Reaching around he began to stroke Kevin's vertebrae as both men began to hit diagnosis.

    Afterwards Rob looked at Kevin with a look of fatality and said, "You can make me Chief Medical Examiner anyday!"

    The end!

    Raymy, I am lucky to have reviewers, and I am grateful that people take the time to click on the review button and leave me something. But I want to point out that telling an author "hey, I am really looking forward to your next update" or "omg I can't wait for your next update" is completely different than someone taking a threatening tone and saying "you better hurry up if you want to keep your readers." Believe me I read stories all the time where I get to the end of a chapter and say "MORE, MORE" like a deranged fiction gobbling zombie. *that's just me when I read*

    I definitely agree. The people who review are very special because no matter how much the readers love your story, if they say nothing, you just never know if it's being enjoyed. They have a certain amount of power in that they can inspire you to write more, help with con crit, or simply just make you smile. I love the interaction between writer and reader. But if they take it too far, cross the line, and think that you would be nothing without them, well, I just hope the writer has a backbone of steel. I'm pretty sure Cuzosu wouldn't cave, :dualpistols: , but I bet there are authors who would be devastated. You found that it made a big impact on your evening, even though you ultimately didn't let it get you down.

    But threatening the author by essentially saying you're going to leave? Okay, bye. Hope you trip on your way out the door. *smiles sweetly, waves, pushes door into rude person* ...yeah, that's about what I want to do.

    Need I say more? :P

    I read someone's review in a story I was following and they said they were going to stop reading after something happened they didn't like. They had been with it through 40 plus chapters! I commented on their review, because I didn't think the author needed that kind of criticism. It wasn't constructive, just "I don't like the turn your story has taken so I'm outta here." I think they could've left without announcing it, but they clearly wanted to censure the author for being so rude as to ruin the story.

    I'd read and review for you, Raymy, but I just...I have a hard time even making myself read Renji and Byakuya - so it's nothing against you! In my opinion, Renji and Byakuya is nearly as over-done as Grimmjow and Ichigo, and I have to be in a really easy-going, open-minded mood to even click into one of those pairings. (Unless it's something I've already read and know I enjoyed, of course, in which case I like to revisit stories periodically if they're really well done.) Unfortunately, I haven't been in one of those moods for several months now, so I've been avoiding the pairings I feel are done too often. Or are too obvious - I've been put off most new Kyoraku/Ukitake stories lately, too, and that's one that's mostly left alone. Makes me sad.

    Yeah, I have to admit, that I was a little down that you never reviewed me. But, there's been lots of authors I review that haven't either, so I got over the self-pity. I have a very special reviewer who makes it all worthwhile, and that's all it takes. As for overdone pairings, I guess I haven't been reading fanfic for long enough to get jaded. I am actually not that big a fan of Bya/Ren myself. I just needed something to write about and they seemed the easiest. :blush: I also think that Kyoraku/Ukitake are too obvious. However, I've been trying out almost every posting, just in case I run across a gem. Personal preferences be damned, if I find an engaging writer, I want in! They usually have the ability to change my perception and make me like the unlikable. i.e.. I hated Szayel but one story made me love him (just in that story). And as you know, I didn't have Urahara in my radar until I read your stories. (and Silverkytten's) So it prompted me to read more with him.

    I'm also a fan of the underdog, so even if I think the writing is good, but not great, I'll follow and review regularly just to support the author. I feel so sorry for stories with no reviews, unless they're "crap", then my sympathy is non-existent.

    Ehh...my mom's menopause was bad.... It's seriously a wonder my brothers survived it. (Brats. Teenage brats. And the youngest brother, who's 9 years younger than the twins.) She bled about once every two weeks; really screwed my PMS up. My body synchronized with hers. Horrible.

    I'm a lot better today, finally, after a month of "leaking" followed by 10 days of heavy bleeding, I'm finished. Never had that experience before and I was getting worried. I was feeilng exhausted and sometimes light-headed. It's a good thing I work in a lab, I just had a coworker take a vial of blood and checked my hemoglobin. No worries, though. I'm better than okay. I guess those hormones are fucking with me, seriously. I already have to deal with increased libido, which isn't that common, but it's kinda fun. (except I have no partner)

    Current CAPTCHA words:

    his Rlfamo

    ...am I the only one struck by the similarity to: "his roflmao fit" or some such?

    Yes, yes. But then I tried to fit words in it and came up with something slightly ... different.

    his "ripe, lickable, fuckable ass made me orgasm"

    so I added an extra "m", but aside from that, whatcha think?

  18. Adding Images using the RTE

    in Forum Tech Support

    Posted

    I tried to add an image to a post in "Personal Rants & Journals", topic ReCaptcha Adventures. It's copied to my desktop so I attached it, if that helps.

    It came out like this and then I edited the comment in parenthesis after posting:

    webkit-fake-url://DF7DB77C-D688-4552-81C8-8F3CE8C577CB/image.tiff(image didn't display! I captured a screen shot and then copied and pasted it. It shows in the editor but not after I post. How do I get an image that I copy to show?)

    BronxWench tried to help but I still don't understand, because the url needs to reference something it can access, so I think either it's the way I got the screenshot or the copying that's the problem.

    She said:

    "To display an image, you copy and paste the url into the field that pops up when you click on the little picture frame icon in the RTE toolbar."

    I think I need more info. If I have to have a URL, then can I still use a file from my home computer? I'm a MAC, and I used the program "Grab" to get the screenshot. Do I need to use a different program? Is there a FAQ or manual for how to use this RTE. I'm usually computer literate, but I don't have much posting finesse, just using text and smilies.

    Even if you know of an offsite FAQ about this editor, somewhere I can learn without trial and error, I'd appreciate it. I'm the kind of woman who likes to reference manuals.

    Today's recaptcha: Taisho igaran

    I wasn't required to put in the accent on the "o". Taisho looks Japanese. (like Taicho). The two words together make me think of a noodle dish.

    botticelliangel,

    Just remembered one more thing I had written before losing it all. (the typing, not my mind)

    I'm glad you were able to recover from the 'ranting fever' after a good night's rest. I, too , have suffered many emotional tizzies (especially at night), only to feel much more somber, and foolish, the next day. It has improved with maturity (euphemism for aging) and also being a mom, helped. Less focus on oneself. However, it never disappears totally, I think, because I recently had another. Crying and self-pitying cause I'm starting the menopause journey and there hasn't been enough 'pause' in my 'meno', just the opposite. *copy that*

    Whaaaaahaha! I'm such an idiot! I had this big, long reply and lost it when I left the page to look at something without copying first. I even know better! This edit box says it auto saves at the bottom, but I don't know how to retrieve it. So, since I reread my reply a few times (I'd make a good beta cause I review my own writing obsessively), I might be able to piece it back together. First, I'ma gettin' a big glass of Dr. Pepper ... *shuffles out to the kitchen*, *makes a pouring sound*, *skips back to the computer*, *writes the previous passage*, *copies said passage*, *continues with post ... note: tone change*

    I don't want to even mention your crappy work situation, adding insult to injury in that baby-makin' factory.

    It must be awful to lose 2 unborn babies. I like the term "angel babies", never heard it before. I chose to "lose" a baby when I was 17 and have thought about *him* ever since. I have an 11 yr old now, but I still wonder "what if"? I think it's much worse if you don't have a choice in the matter. I'm afraid I don't relate to your situation, though, as I got preggers by a sneeze with both, even though I only carried one full term. But if you want to be a mom, I wish you all the luck I can gather. I would survive all right if I wasn't a mom, actually didn't want to be one for about 15 years, but I'm glad I am, now that I can see it from this side. BTW, one of my sisters adopted 2 before becoming pregnant and having a C-section. Strange influences. Motherly hormones. Who knows? *copy*

    I'm glad you made a decision on your cousin's ass. Some people just need a swift kick to get goin', some more than others. It doesn't mean their life will improve, but really, not your problem. My other sister, for instance, is 50 yrs old, living in a trailer park on government assistance and whines and complains about her wretched existence. I, on the other hand, am 4 years younger, raised in the same family, and am working full time, paying a mortgage, raising an ADHD boy by myself having no contact or help from his father. Still, I manage to cope. Why? Beats me! My point here is that I can't make her have a better life and she's my frickin' sister. I won't be held responsible, and frankly, never felt that way. *copy*

    As for mothering a 17 yr old with a bag full of baggy baggage, who would want that? Especially not your kid! My mom never liked any kids but her own, couldn't be bothered to coo over someone else's brat. It's easy to feel motherly toward a good kid, but you better have carried the tit-biter for 9 months, and dragged the little tantrum drummer boy through his development, to feel motherly toward a difficult boy. Thats where I'm comin' from. *copy*

    As for Stoopid Reviewers: again, I can't relate. I've only had 3 reviewers. The first two were short and sweet. Nothing wrong with that. The second, I could wax poetic about. She leaves long, animated reviews for every chapter, and is my inspiration to keep writing. We actually review each other and it's the best experience I could have had on my first story! I'd lend her to you but I wants to keep my precious. I'm a pretty prolific reviewer, myself, and have been known to whine about lack of updates. But I think I had a leg to stand on. 1 year, 2 years, 4 years! C'mon, somebody had to say something! Although, I make sure to heap mucho compliments on the author in hopes of inspiring an update. *copy*

    Now that I've read your experience, I have more compassion for the authors in question and will think twice before getting impatient next time. I was strictly on the reviewers side of the update battlefield, because I'm a selfish reader and always want more of a good thing. Thanks for giving me a soft kick, I think it will work. *copy*

  24. Driven to Distraction: A Bleach Yaoi Fanfic - Complete

    in Promote a Story!

    Posted · Edited by Raymy

    Author: Raymy

    Title: Driven to Distraction

    Fandom: Bleach - Yaoi

    Pairing: Byakuya/Renji, references to past Shuuhei/Renji and Juushiro/Byakuya

    Warnings: Anal, Fingering, HJ, Oral, Rim, Spank, D/s, H/C, Angst

    Chaptered story: 9 Chapters, about 25K words, Completed Nov. 13, 2012

    URL: http://bleach.adultf...hp?no=600012736

    Summary: Byakuya and Renji take a break from the stifling, rigid Seireitei life and indulge in living world distractions. This is what I posted and it's not very descriptive. It started as an experiment to try my hand at writing and evolved as I discovered I was enjoying myself. The plot is more like a character arc, where both parties must learn something about themselves and each other to come together after a misunderstanding. I tried to keep within canon, no OC's.

    Feedback: This is my first fanfiction story. I would love con. crit. about the characterizations, if the dialogue was engaging, and if the story made you want to continue reading. Was the smex too graphic or technical, or just didn't float your boat? I was hoping to immerse the reader in the sensations. Also, if the first person narration was a turn off, or if alternating it was confusing, I thought I wouldn't do it again. Any suggestions as to what would have made the story better for you is welcome. I am considering writing a couple of prequels (as stated in my Author Notes) and need input, not only on how this story is received, but what you'd like to see in them (if you want them). I sure hope I can get some other Author reviews.

  25. Vocabulary Turn-offs

    For some reason, the word "entrance" when used in a gay sex scene really bothers me. I dunno, maybe it's the fact that the anus isn't actually meant to be an entrance, but an exit. I prefer the usage of other words when it comes to that. This is really recent too; I think I even used that word way back when.

    This makes no sense to me. It's a gay sex scene! It is too an entrance, as well as an exit. It's not a scat fic! So it's not strictly an exit. And "anus" isn't very sexy when written in anal sex scenes. It again connotes defecation. However, I have used it, because of its specificity. I usually use entrance, opening, or hole. Also, "isn't actually meant to be an entrance" is very telling. Hmm, are you sure you're reading the right fic for your sensibilities? If you ever have a doctor probe your rectum, are you going to be able to tell her that? Or the medical technician who sends the camera up your butt to look for polyps? Yeah, just cause I'm referencing medical procedures, doesn't mean the point is lost. I'm trying to say that even the medical community sees it as an entrance, so what it is "meant to be" is how we use it. Wouldn't there be a one way valve if it was meant to go only one way?

    BTW, gays aren't the only ones who enjoy anal sex. Where do you think some of us get our ideas from? I don't think I could write about something I know nothing about, even though you can substitute a women's "love envelope" into the same imagery.

    The cock slides in [entrance], the cock slides out [exit], pushes in [entrance], pulls out [exit]. It's as natural and "meant to be" as breathing. Inhale, exhale.

    *Hyperventilating while gazing off into the ceiling*

    Anyone else get horny from it? :horny:
