I write shmoop, apparently.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this. I mean, I am until it's mentioned, and then I get all weird about it again. Because it's not taken seriously, is it? Shmoop, I mean.

Fanfic taken seriously...ha! Yeah, but you know what I mean. Not really respected, is it?

Oy, again with the head hurting.

Then I'm in excellent company, baby. :-)

Is that monkey pic a scream, or what? I've got about five Jacob/monkey icon ideas in my head that I might whip up this weekend during writing breaks. I showed that picture to an O-Town lovin' friend, and I may have teased her mercilessly about her boyband boy gettin' hot and heavy with a simian. She pretended to be amused. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Jacob and his monkey love, oh my god. Truth is stranger than fiction, but then, so is O-Town. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Yes, replying again because I'm channeling JC tonight.

I don't think of you as a shmoopy writer, though. I think my stuff's more romantic than it is anything else, and that's the difference. Your fic is sweet, funny, hot, and makes you think. You take your readers places, and I'm not sure that I do that.

My fic's like a snack, or something, yours is a meal. *That's* the difference, yes.
