Most fic is crap, particularly that which you find on ff.net. I came to LJ because of Battlestar Galactica and have been here for 6 years ...
I have to honestly confess ... I don't always understand what you're saying. For example your #2 ... I haven't got a clue. I don't speak "text" and am often lost with the contractions and short forms people use. I also have to confess that it turns me right off and I tend not to read when people write to me like that. I'm okay with a short comment but it's like reading a whole different language (you probably could write in patois if you like, it'd be the same difference to me!). So there you go ... I'm old and clueless. :)
I might get to this, we'll see. Life is always crazy busy for me in the summer: my eldest is done school next week (except for exams) and my hubby is around more, not to mention all the garden work I have to do and stuff around the house (house is 106 years old and falling apart) ... but thanks for sharing. :)
