First, I\u2019m supposed to be working on my 2007 NaNo novel during August\u2019s Camp NaNoWriMo. Unfortunately, between my anniversary and various shopping trips, I really haven\u2019t done much. I\u2019ve also had the problem of things popping up from my planned 2011 NaNo novel, which doesn\u2019t have a title yet. In an attempt to jumpstart finishing the 2007 story, Moonstrike!<\/a><\/em>, I\u2019ve started posting some bits I know are done at Fan Nation. I\u2019m posting it there first because, frankly, the Thunderbirds<\/em> section at Fanfiction.net is glutted with these kinds of stories and I need for this to be top notch before posting it there. My goal is to show How It Should Be Done<\/em>™, so it has to be done right.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to something else: the Thunderbirds<\/em> section at ff.net really annoys me right now. There is a plethora of WeeTracy fics, because frankly, you don\u2019t have to really refer to Thunderbirds<\/em> when you\u2019re doing it. Just use the names and make them two-dimensional characters using what you\u2019ve read elsewhere. There are a lot of crappy fics posted there where the author\u2019s writing skills suck and the current batch of \u201cLet\u2019s give everyone pets and strokes and hope they become better authors\u201d reviewers fail terribly to point these things out in a way that makes the writer take notice. (Though I have noticed Musette 12 hopping in there to take some of the writers to task for either unrealistic fics, bad writing, bad attitudes, or any combination of the three.) There\u2019s a whole lot of writing fanfic from fanon, too. New writers taking the writings of others to form their stories instead of going back to the source. There are also a couple of fics that make me scratch my head and go, \u201cWhat the hell does this have to do with Thunderbirds<\/em>?\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s crazy-making, and truthfully, it\u2019s kept me from reading all but a few writers; currently, that means MathGirl, ThatGirlSix, and Silver Bee (since some of my other faves haven\u2019t posted in the TBs section lately). Which is sad, because I used to read everything<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Well, I guess I\u2019d better get back to doing something! I might go ahead and write what I\u2019ve been getting from the \u201cFermat\u2019s Mother\u201d fic, or pick up something from Moonstrike!<\/em> that I know I need to write. I\u2019m sitting on my original fic for the moment as I\u2019ve offended a good friend with some of my religious terminology and I need to figure out what to do there. Christianity doesn\u2019t exist in my world, so terms like \u201cthe Blessed Lady\u201d are not talking about the Virgin Mary. But I guess it sounds too close for comfort.<\/p>\n
