Dude. lol. This made me laugh so hard it's not even funny. I'm suffering from major Christmas induced insomnia and this fucking cracks me up. I'm a sad person because I take all these anal retentive notes for my stories, little things from life I find amusing and I try to fit them in as things that happen to the characters in my fanfics, stories they tell, things like that.

Anyway! I planned on having Reese be angsty one night and not be able to sleep and Bianca finds her up watching weird things on television and now I must, must, must include this infomercial among the things they watch.

I think Bianca would want a snuggie even though they're horrendous. Kendall would mock her for it. Reese too I think. Even though Reese would understand why Binks would want one. Poor Binks! lol. It reminds me those huge robes she likes to wear though. Except this thing is more like an insane choir robe.

Ahhh, informercials. You make me giggle. And people, you do not have to tell me what a sad person I am for doing this level of thinking and research about fictional characters I write fanfic about. I promise I can be this much of a pathetic fangirl and still manage to function in normal society.

Sort of.

ETA: OMG! There's a challenger. The Slanket aka the best blanket ever. Which came first though? The snuggie or the slanket? Should I have Bianca and Reese debate? I need sleep. lol.

Dude, guess who got this ridiculous-ness last night as a Christmas gift from my mother?! Me, yeah...about ten minutes after we saw an info-mercial for them and I completely ripped on them.

*facepalm*

Hopefully your tie in bodes better. :)

I keep getting emails from friends who inform me they now own a snuggie and/or slanket. I plan on finding out which is superior somehow. lol. As for the tie in, I made a note to write it in. I figure I'll have the infomercial show up while Reese flips channels. I'm planning on have her watch weirdness on Animal Planet because that's what I do late at night. That or watch Discovery Investigation.

Anyway. I won't be writing that for awhile. The last chapter has me sort of pooped creatively.

Well, that's exactly when you should write the side story...to re-ignite your muse for the main story. Just a suggestion. :)

I don't believe I have a muse. I'm not one for writing more than one story at a time. I've tried it once or twice and all that ends up happening is eventually I let one story die so the other can live before I get burnt out on both of them and don't finish either one.

Usually I rely on my friends who beta to keep me somewhat motivated but I don't have any for AMC fic. I should look for some but usually when I ask people I don't already know to beta it turns out that those who volunteer just want to read the chapters before anyone else and don't have any genuine criticisms or grammar issues to point out to me.

Not that you're looking, but I'll offer my services. I'm completely anal retentive about spelling, grammer and all the rest...not that I'm trying to weseal my way in, just if you're in the market.

I could use one honestly. While I appreciate any grammar help what I mostly look for is solid criticism on characterization and plot development. Pointing out things that might be not so realistic or are repetitive, tell me when things get too damn fluffy, things of that nature. You up for that?
Friday, December 26th, 2008 06:52 pm (UTC)
Sure, I'll do my best to keep a critical eye. *salutes*

Yay! I guess I have an AMC beta now. Just email me at dreiser7@yahoo.com so I can send you the new chapter once I finish it. I'll probably start writing it sometime today.
