How did I miss this guy for so long?
Dec. 2nd, 2010 12:48 pmI got hit last night. You would have thought that, after 11 years of writing fanfic, I might have been buzzed by this guy before. I'd never heard of jeremycrawford and am writing in a brand new fandom, so I figured he might have obtained my YM username from my LJ site. Since it might be a reader, I thought I would be nice and polite.
Here's the exchange:
-----------------------------------------
jeremycrawford27: hello.
jwsel: Do I know you?
jeremycrawford27: i don't think so i was wondering if you write fanfiction.
jwsel: I do
jeremycrawford27: what kind het.
jwsel: I write a variety
jeremycrawford27: do you know a tv series 7th heaven starring jessica biel.
jwsel: I know it, but never watched it
jeremycrawford27: oh.
jeremycrawford27: what about the movie superman returns.
jwsel: sorry. i write about some 80s shows and, recently, the soap
opera days of our lives (but mainly involving 80s characters)
jeremycrawford27: oh.
jwsel: sorry to disappoint you
jwsel: out of curiousity, what made you IM me and ask if I wrote
fanfic? I assume you must have had some reason.
jeremycrawford27: i was trying to find someone to write a fic.
jwsel: you might try a challenge site. you're a little late for
yuletide (google yuletide and fic). That site tends to invite requests
for fic in small fandoms for the holidays. I know there are similar
sites out there, but I don't know them well.
jeremycrawford27: what about knight rider.
jwsel: no. most of my other fics are from the a-team TV show. But i've
been focused on a running story for days of our lives recently
jeremycrawford27: i'll just wait for 5 more years for someone to do a
fic for me of whaty i want.
jeremycrawford27: since you won't do it
jwsel: sorry, i don't know those fandoms well enough to do justice to
them even if I could spare the time to write another fic.
jwsel: you might look for blogs or groups devoted to fanfics for those
shows and see if anyone wants to run with your plot idea
jeremycrawford27 is typing a message.
jwsel: in A-Team, we have had people do that in a group.
jeremycrawford27: bye ASSHOLE
