Fic

When I was in the QaF fandom, I'd read pretty much anything I came across. I'll admit, I didn't have the highest standards then. I remember telling [livejournal.com profile] raxhel about some of the fics I was reading, and she'd be wincing, and asking my why the hell I was wasting my time on crap like this, but, really, I was ok with it.

Then, when I moved out of the QaF fandom and into others, well they were fandoms that [livejournal.com profile] raxhel was already in, so she sent me links to all the best fic she had come across, so I didn't need to wade through all the crappy stuff. It's gotten to the point where basically, I won't read a fic unless, 1) it's been rec'ed somewhere, or 2) I really like the author. Even so I still come across some less than stellar fics, but, wow, it's just no where near the level of bad of reading anything you come across.

Me and another girl are trying to set up a rec site for the Numb3rs fandom. Normally I find fic in a new fandom by looking at other people's rec sites. Numb3rs in kind of a small fandom though, and well, what's the point of making a rec site if you're just repeating someone else's? So I decided to just go to a Numb3rs fic community and read through the fic posted.

O.M.G! My eyes! They bleed from the bad fic! It's just, have the authors even *watched* the show!? Because there's OOC and then there's "Hi, I'm a character who happens to have the same name as this guy from this show". I don't know if I can do this.

Caps Lock due to me using SAP and everything in here has to be caps, so I forget to turn it off, and by the time I realise that everything is in caps, I've written to much and so I just go with it :D
I don't live near Orlando, as in 3 hours away, however strangely enough we too are going to Disney World, from the 16th to the 17th of Feb for Mini Carrots Birthday, they have this really cool think were she goes to a salon and they do her hair and makeup as a princess, my daughter is dieing to do this, and it's her first time going to Magic Kingdom, we wanted to take her when she would really remeber, anyway that's my fun plans :) As for suggestions you MUST go to Arabian Nights, I really enjoyed it, it was definetly a high light, also if you are staying there a while take a day to not go to the theme park and go see some of the touristy attraction in the area, allot of them are very different and are a nice change. Paul is definetly not easy but also yesterday i was in a bad mood with him, so that never helps hehehehe and mini Carr0ts she's doing just great, tonight i have a parent teacher meeting to see how's she's doing, oh the fun of being a parent :D
