it's a matter of perspective

I was talking to the talented banner maker for fma_fic_contest about some of her recent banners. sky_dark said she made the banners based on what part of the story struck her most deeply. And that got me thinking (mostly because what struck a chord in her was something I barely thought about) about how we perceive stories. Take a good look at any review of Goodreads or a look at fandom meta and it's obvious we all take something different away from the stories. Sometimes you find people you're in total agreement with. Other times, you're left wondering 'did we watch/read' the same thing.

So it got me curious. What did people see in MY stories? To that end, find one of my stories that you liked and tell me what YOU thought was the main pain. What characters/scenes struck your chords? I'm curious.


You know it's bad at work when tenured faculty are asking me where the best job boards are


why do i always take on too many springkink stories?


NCIS

I LOATHE the lawyer. I don't want her to be GIbbs's girl. And I HATE HATE HATE when the heroes allow the killer escape because they think it's 'justice.' Well, Gibbs MiL didn't kill her daughter/granddaughter's killers. Gibbs did that years ago. SHe killed someone who might have been in the same drug ring for the mere reason that she thinks it's justice. I'm not sure we have clear cut evidence he was somehow invovled in Shannon's death.

Our Cop Hero turning vigillante and/or condoning the vigillante is one of my most hated tropes in crime drama


However I have to say I did love Tony going nuts over Japanese movies and Tony's reaction to Arizona is MINE word for word.

Is it me or has McGee lost tons of weight?

i figured that's what she looked like because we had to OOOO break the mortician = weirdo mold

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, I see that - and morticians are salesmen, right? She'd have to look the part.

I'm just disappointed that she wasn't with Tony. She seemed more his type.

and she does. You should see the ones Ed uses. they're all hotties.

Ed's Deads? I guess we can't work there, then. Not that I want to do sales.
