Does it ever upset you when you see a theme that you've written on extensively get recced, and none of your stories get named? Maybe I'm just psycho, but I really start questioning everything I've ever written. I do not like it.

Unfortunately, what is the solution? World, bend to my will!

ETA: and now there is themed post for Angels and Demons. [livejournal.com profile] balefully, I NEED YOU TO TELL ME I AM THE AWESOMEST AT ANGELS AND DEMONS RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE SEEMS TO THINK SO!

UM, you can rec me something of yours! I just lost ALL my fics to read, so :D

And *I* think you write awesome stuff, so. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

*cries* No, self-rec is evil! I have too much pride and not enough shame to do that! The incident I'm actually speaking about is every time religion in fic comes up. How many fics have I written involving religion in some capacity, HOW MANY? FOUR. Ugh! *runs and hides*

Yes, right, I should make sure to take you shopping with me, so that I can tell people, HEY, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, ANG SAID IT WAS AWESOME, AND SHE'S ALL THAT MATTERS, YOU FUCKS!

I get like that with the weirdest shit. No, literally: if I see requests for crack or animal transformation I'm all "OVER HERE". Because I am silly.

Yes! You do some of the best silly! You should be getting recced up the wazoo for that shit. *growls*

I want somebody to give me a plaque that says, "Lauren, you write awesome religion fics." Then I'd be okay!

It's like, the only thing I can divine from this is that you think my work is shit. I'm hoping that it's just that you didn't read it, but WHAT IF IT'S NOT.

Hmmm-- maybe this is the solution I should be looking for!

I just get bummed out about it, over and over again. :(

Yeah the latest one at spn_themes...oh, I wanted to bash my head against the wall. I was like, HEY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WAIT TWO DAYS AFTER I POST THIS BEFORE MAKING ME FEEL BAD!

Yes! Jeez, I just wrote a Ruby fic this last summer (which is really off-the-wall for me).

Unfortunately, it all depends on what the reader's reading, and it appears that the answer is... somebody else. :(

No, me too, definitely. A couple of months ago the spn roundtable did an original character rec and, like, fully half of my big bang was told from the POV of an original character. But was I mentioned AT ALL? Nope. So yeah, I get you. I'm sorry. :/ *smishes*

Yeah, I saw that too, I was like um, I wrote a story with three extra Winchester brothers. *sigh*

All.The.Time. Seriously-- you write an amnesia story, and when the recs roll out yours is never mentioned. Or post-S3 finale, or several forms of major crack, and still not mentioned in theme-based rec posts.

Unfortunately, what is the solution?
Grumbling into your beer? (or Diet Coke, as the case may be for me) Often, rather than a solution I do what you're doing, which is to question whether everything I write is crap. :(

Cookie?

And I want to be like HEY, LOOK, I WROTE SOMETHING, but even if I had no shame, I'd know better than to self-rec. Clearly we should all create sock puppet journals to rec our own stuff with. THIS IS THE BEST SOLUTION.

I'd be really good about it, we could make it an institution, APPLY HERE IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GOT MISSED ON A THEME AND WISH FOR EVERYBODY TO KNOW ABOUT IT, and use the sock puppet journal to rectify it.

See, you missed [livejournal.com profile] dark_reaction's awesome fic Even If (http://dark-reaction.livejournal.com/159715.html), and you don't know it now, but the fic is actually the cure for cancer! SILLY YOU, FORGETTING TO REC IT!
