My life is so hard.

I have fic that I want to post tonight or tomorrow but NO TITLE AUGH. D: I'm so jealous of people who can easily come up with awesome titles; it takes me forever and then I end up hating them.

In other news, I've realised that since joining Skins fandom there are a bunch of new people on my flist but I hardly know anyone's names, and I'd quite like to remedy that. Hence, this poll! Obvs no obligation to fill it out, but I'm curious. :D (Hi, I'm Julia, btw.)

[Poll #1464489]

OMG, when is E4 going to post some more interviews? I'm going into serious withdrawal here.

ugh, I know exactly what you mean. Everytime I had to write a story/article for school, I obsessed way more over the title than the rest of the whole thing. And usually I ended up handing it in with no title at all, because I'm just that awesome and creative. If you're really struggeling, just do it the 'Sigur Ros'-way and call it Untitled #*insert number here*.

And since you're mentioning it, may I go ahead and friend you?

Boo, I stared at that thing for so long trying to think of something ridiculous to fill in. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF.

PS: I have confidence in your fic-naming skills.

[botherd.livejournal.com]

NGL, I'M PRETTY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU TOO. ;)

Hee, thanks! Normally I'd go for the old 'steal a song lyric' standby, but I feel like that wouldn't work with the fic ~style. SIGH.

[botherd.livejournal.com]

I feel like I might have to resort to that! Even though I'm not a fan of leaving fic untitled. OMG, the worst thing ever was when I had a Shakespeare exam and the professor said we needed to come up with a snappy title for our essay questions. Coming up with a good title under a deadline = impossible.

Sure, feel free to friend!

Thanks :)

For the few fics I wrote myself, I usually chose either one-word-titles or something totally cheesy, which apparently seemed like a good idea at that time. It's like the eighties in retrospect: back then everyone thought it was awesome to own a pair of chastity-jeans and have a hairspray consumption that probably singlehandedly caused the ozone hole, but looking at it now it just was this complete fashion disaster that should never, ever be repeated (yes, I'm looking at you, shoulder pads of death). But I digress.
What I want to say is that I'm sure you'll come up with something appropriate, and I'm looking forward to this story that you'll hopefully post sooner than later.

Hi Julia :p Now that I think about it, it does seem a bit weird that I randomly added you (I love your fics that much) without introducing myself, apologies!

I'm sure you'll come up with something fitting as the title!

[botherd.livejournal.com]

Hi! And, you know, it's not really that weird - God knows I've lurked in my fair share of fandoms - but I just like getting to know people, that's all. :D

I HOPE SO. Still haven't yet...

[torak303.livejournal.com]

That must be kinda strange, to all of a sudden have a bunch of strangers (Hi, btw :P ) knocking on your internety door. Cool idea to get to know us by name, seems odd on the internet, yet seems so logical too. Meh, it's early :P

[botherd.livejournal.com]

Hi! ;) It's not really that strange - more so when people don't comment, although I totally understand why some people just like to lurk, and I don't mind. I just like making friends and getting to know people, really!

ALSO I LOVE YOUR ICON. KELSI! ♥

[boppingalone.livejournal.com]

Well, I sure chose a swell day to add you, if that's okay with you :) Here's my introduction all set out in poll form, points for organisation.

OMG, when is E4 going to post some more interviews?

THISSSSSS. Seriously, they could just give me Meg, or someone with a wooden spoon that has a picture of Meg blu-tacked on it saying ridiculous things and meg!facing everywhere and I'll be happy.

[queenbellevue.livejournal.com]

I agree with everyone, ur fics r totally awsome :)
U should write more *puppy dog eyes*

[botherd.livejournal.com]

That's perfectly fine, hi! :D

Okay, I'm fairly sure that wooden-spoon!Meg would be the second greatest thing in the world ever (after Meg herself, of course). Someone should get on that.

[botherd.livejournal.com]

Hi! I don't mind you friending me at all. :D

And thanks! ♥

[botherd.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! I have no plans to stop writing Skins fic any time soon. :D

[lazarus-girl.livejournal.com]

Yay for that, and OMG, you have some terrific icons, love! I'm L btw. My name's Leanne, but only parent-aged people and relatives call me that.

[botherd.livejournal.com]

Hee, I always feel like my icons are a bit 'remedial Photoshop', so thanks!

[lazarus-girl.livejournal.com]

It's all about cropping and framing sometimes, you don't always need flashy stuff.
