Snaps's Musings

[snaps]

Hi. I’m snaps. I’m co-Moderator on this Board, along with Ian, who is Moderator for the Forum as a whole. I’m just making this initial posting to encourage all the other fan-fiction writers and fan-art contributors. Why not open up your own individual thread on this Board?

My thread will tell you a little more about me, and my interest in FA/SML, fan-fiction, and writing in general. I will use this to tell you some more about my plans, work-in-progress etc, and will act as a kind of blog/ rant, for when I feel the need (which is often!).

I am a serious writer and take my work seriously, but I hope I don’t take myself too seriously. If anything I have a rather irreverent approach to life. I like to think I have an open mind, and this thread is open for comment. So really I don’t mind if you ‘chip-in’ with comments.

I have generally found the atmosphere on here to be very friendly, tolerant and supportive. I hope you do too. We are small in number, but highly creatively driven. We shed the occasional tear, have a group hug, but mostly have fun!

I hope you do too. X.

Beautifully said Snaps.

I love what you've done so far and hope this leads to a renewed enthusiasm in the Forum with visits by the "old" members as well as lots of new ones. Great stuff.

[DMt.]

I only have the one piece of FF to offer [so far?] and that's already hosted...I'll see what I can do...I may be too busy stacking shelves for Poundland soon.

Well, if you have time, fine. If you don't, I'll get round to it eventually and give you a hand sorting it.

I'm just a bit short on time at the moment. I need to make the priority people who are not around, whose work might be lost otherwise.

Well if you don't want to copy your FA/SML FF here, that's fine. I can put a link in the INDEX PAGE both to your original posting (if you like) and/or the PDF version on Ole's site. I leave it up to you, it's your work after all.

I'm trying to keep the focus on FA/SML directly related work atm, but I don't see why other fanfic related to FA/SML THEMES e.g. for LTROI, WL/NdP, shouldn't get a mention in the MISCELLANEOUS section of the INDEX.

What do you think, Ian ? *calls Ian at home at 3.30 am Adelaide time, knowing he won't mind having his latest BEX dream disturbed by lil ole me interrupting*

I'd prefer to stack shelves in Waterstones or HMV. At least there's things there worth getting *coughs* 'staff discount' on.

Even if you never read anymore of my stuff, I would like everyone to watch the above. It's less than two minutes of your time. It is very inspiring. Etienne is a friend, he's only 15 now and has been at this for over a year. He has been through a lot in life already. His first language isn't English, make allowances. He now does a lot to help other LGBT/ unsure kids. If Agnes/ Marie etc had internet back when, I'ma sure it would have inspired confidence against homophobic bullying. Like the positive mssg he sends out, 'It get's better.'

[DMt.]

Awww...sweet.

It sucks hard enough just being a teenager, never mind having to deal with homophobic arseholes on top of that.

Go Etienne!

I've added a reworking of my poem ''Bridge Over The Road'' and I've changed my avi to lend me more gravitarse as a Moderator.

Ian thinks that sounds just fine, snaps. But if you interrupt one of my Emma cough Rebecka dreams you're dead.

[snaps]

I have finally resolved my differences with the tax man.

Thanks for giving us your links DMt.

hope to update next week and incorporate all the remaining fan-fic outthere.

Ian you slave-driver you, do me a favour and give me a listing with links to all your MVIDS plus links that youtube haven't deleted yet

fish and I have birthdays (actually date since joining this forum) coming up soon. I hope to post something previously unposted to celebrate

[DMt.]

A snapsfic? Is it? Huh? Is it?

[fish]

That sounds like a Snapsfic to me.
Hope it wasn't too costly.



Yes.
Birthdays.
Yay Snapsie and Fish.
I guess I'll try to find something new as well.
Can't have you putting me to shame too often.

[snaps]

Right.

slog.slog.slog.

I've now settled my differences with Her Majesty Inspectors of Inland Revenue and Customs. I've w*rked off my debt, and won't be going to jail after all. Although why they thought that being locked up on an Open prison farm, with a load of dippy girls, a roof that doesn't leak, heaters that actually work, three square meals a day and a TV screen twenty times the size of my laptop is supposed to be punishment?

Next time I'll opt for jail.



I’ll try to get things updated on the Board during April.
