Joan of Arcadia - Butterflies

TheCentralScrutinizer · 30 Oct 07 :: 01:30

Laura, TeeJay said what I added to EA last night is schmaltzy. So I don't really think I'll feel like working on it for a day or two. I guess if you want to, now would be a good time for you to go ahead and do your thing with the ball & chain. Maybe I'll feel better and be less sensitive when I get over this little bit of tummy trouble I've got that's making me cranky.
:fedup:

Well, if it means anything I like it. It's a wedding, it's supposed to be schmaltzy. You and me voted and TeeJay lost

I'll try to figure out what I want to do with the ball and chain, I wanna keep everything in order so we're gonna be jumping from Joan to Adam and back again.

She didn't say she hated it or we needed to change it. She said it would still be better than what everyone else writes. Doesn't change the fact that she thinks it's cornball. Even though I know it needs work, I thought it was pretty good. And now, I've just kind of had the inspiration knocked out of me. I was on a little bit of roll last night, but now I'm going to worry that whatever I do will be too gooey.

Like I said, I'm just being over-sensitive. I'll be OK when I feel better physically. Maybe tomorrow.

TeeJay · 30 Oct 07 :: 09:34

Aaaaaaaaaah, you're reading WAY too much into what I said. What I meant to say is: Yes, it's kinda schmaltzy, but not TOO schmaltzy. It's exactly the right kind of schmaltzy. It shouldn't be any different because EVERY church wedding is schmaltzy. And any church wedding that isn't is just wrong or badly done.

It did not mean to say that what you wrote isn't good or below our standard or anything. It's great. And I wouldn't change a thing about it. I should probably just stop saying what I think and just write.

Just so there's no confusion:

I had a quick look at the ceremony. God, it's so schmaltzy, but it has to be.

Which translated in my head as, "God, I hate this, but I guess we have no choice but to write it this way." Sorry for the misinterpretation.

magicalturkey · 30 Oct 07 :: 15:24

Honestly, I would have taken it that way too. It's hard to figure how people mean to say stuff on the internet, it can be meant one way but read another.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 30 Oct 07 :: 16:16

I think mostly I was being over-sensitive because I was sick. When I'm feeling stronger, I'll probably say screw it, it is what it is and that's the way it's going to be.

justme · 02 Nov 07 :: 13:26

By "schmaltzy" you mean sentimental and not chicken fat, right?:D

magicalturkey · 02 Nov 07 :: 13:32

Oh, is that what schmaltzy means?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 02 Nov 07 :: 16:03

Schmaltzy means chicken fat?!? OK, now I'm really offended! That's one of the grossest substances on earth!

magicalturkey · 02 Nov 07 :: 16:27

What about fried tiger penises? Or deep fried beetles? There's gotta be something worse than chicken fat

TheCentralScrutinizer · 02 Nov 07 :: 18:49

Yeah, but not something you encounter in your everyday life.

magicalturkey · 02 Nov 07 :: 18:52

It is if you live in China.

This reminds me of the spam emails we're getting. Everytime I want to scream "NOOO!!! I don't want a penis enlargement! I don't even HAVE a penis!" LOL

Well, yeah, we are. If you've seen JoA and you're "of age", read the fic sometime and you'll see exactly how naughty we can be. Especially when it comes to writing smut starring our favorite gorgeous boy.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 08 Nov 07 :: 06:02

Hey Laura, you remember the "Go Nads" fic? We haven't ever posted that anywhere. You wanna use it as a guest fic? Just so you can post something? That's some good kinda smutty fun, right? No big if you don't wanna.

Carol, have you read that one?

magicalturkey · 08 Nov 07 :: 06:08

Well, you mention Butterflies characters in it so anyone on my journal who hasn't read it (shame on them!) probably wouldn't be able to follow.

justme · 08 Nov 07 :: 06:13

No, I just heard you guys 'talk' about it. I was gonna ask but I thought you might be planning to include it in a chapter. I do TRY to keep my big, honkin' nose out of people's grille's (grills?). I'm just not always successful.;)

LOL! Yeah, I know. Wouldn't it be funny if Grace was the one who called him whipped? If you changed Brody to Grace it could be your married A/J. Still, cool if you don't wanna.

magicalturkey · 08 Nov 07 :: 06:37

So, Deb, which of us should email it to Carol?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 08 Nov 07 :: 06:42

I'll do it right now. Didn't see the request before, Carol.

justme · 08 Nov 07 :: 07:04

I deleted it (my more forthright request). It sounded way too snarky. But I've already received (and read) Go Nads. I love it. I needed an Adam/Joan fix! Thank you!!!

Aw, your request was NOT snarky. I didn't see it that way at all. I wish you hadn't deleted it. It's wonderful that you wanna read our stuff. Even the trifles.

I love the fanfic Butterflies!!!
