Tremendulent!

So, I got this bizarre PM from ff.net the other day:

Subject: Ideas related to fan-fiction...

Hello there? You seem to be a fan-fiction writer, and well, I want to tell
you, I have several ideas related to fan-fiction, and I wonder if you would
like to discuss with me about these ideas. I just want to share these ideas
with someone, and perhaps you could give me some additional thoughts about
these ideas.

I also wonder if you take fan-fiction seriously, or if you don't really care
that much for it.

At first I thought it was from someone younger and interested in learning more about fanfic. Then I came across someone else's post that mentioned the same PM.

Then, I found THIS!.

Holy epic FAIL, Batman. I'm not particularly interested in a survey that's attempting to slot people into little predetermined sexual roles. A survey given by people who work for HOMELAND SECURITY. Thanks, but no thanks.

Has anyone else gotten this? Apparently the survey site has been closed down due to the sheer amount of outrage most of fandom displayed.

Okay. These are things I will do before Christmas:

1. Finish my Iron Man story. I want to finish it. I know what happens. I've actually got a plot and everything. Why can I not get past the in-between parts? If anyone has any advice on how to get past the gray areas before the action starts, please halp!

2. Finish my fanfic100. They're fun and I've handwritten a number already.

3. Write the other wacky crack fics that have been percolating since, oh EVER!

4. Participate in NaNoWriMo.

I will do all of these before Christmas.

My problem?

My laptop died.

Horribly.

It actually clanked like an old Buick and then died. Seriously, it actually chugged and then stalled and then clanked!

BUT! I will do all of these things. Why? Because I am insane. And determined. But mostly insane.

Now. Who wants cookies?
