Okay, I encountered some weird shit while reading fics through the years, but somehow this one is totally new and - IMO - sorta takes the cake.

I found a story where the writer replaced every single 'fuck' by '@#%$' *blink*

I'm not even kidding :

"It feels @#%$ fantastic"
"You two are so @#%$ hot together"
"@#%$!"
"I want you to @#%$ me"

How is that even possible? I'll just say this, @#%$ me, but this is just @#%$ hilarious! Holy @#%$ and @#%$ hell! *dies laughing*

Hee! That cracks me up. As if “I want you to @#%$ me" isn't, you know, already porny. Hee!

I decided that some people were just weird. Not that it was an epiphany though...

There's some weird writers around.

It's like someone who writes Busted fic, she writes gay as g*y. I mean, you're writing slash, you should be able to write gay!

You just have to laugh or you'd go insane *g*

G*y? *shakes head*

I always thought writing Gawd and hawt instead of God and Hot was already a little odd, but I realized several people on my flist did it, so I thought okay, I was the one being weird... but this? No, it's just too weird! Ridiculous as well, I mean, really! You're writing slash... fucking use the correct words! lol

*lmao*

I write gawd but just because it looks so funny! ;))
Fucking however...is just fucking. *shrugs*
But then again, I have no problems whatsoever with bad words. :)))
Actually, no words are bad. Words are good! Fuck them!! :D

To me Gawd is irremediably associated with an author whose stories I really have problems with, shall we say. Even though I don't read her work, I've been traumatised by her way of writing, so I usually think Gawd is really weird, but like you said, some people do use it because they just like the sound of it lol

And fuck yeah, words are good, so fucking use them! lol

Hee...not even going to ask who the 'Gawd' author is. I think I can guess.

Can't believe I missed your B-day (haven't really been online for two weeks). Belated *smooches* and *schnuzzles*!!

I couldn't decide which icon to use, so I'll give you the cake one now and the giggly one later. *MWAH!*

The woman is so famous in the SG fandom, that *everybody* recognizes her, even with the smallest of hints! It's scary lol

Don't sweat it, RL has a way to mask everything happening on-line *g*

Thanks *schnuzzles back*

And thanks for the cute icon! It was pretty appropriate, indeed *g*

*kisses*

I have to admit that the Gawd G*d thing is weird. I mean we all know what they mean, so write the words already!

But the g*y thing makes me laugh more than anything, it's just so ridiculous.

I found this little gem at Across the Pond, you know the QaF archive I recced sometime ago? Man, it was good wasn't it? lol

I'm flabbergasted; I mean why don't they find a word to replace 'fuck' if they are not comfortable using it? Because if they have written a good fic, seeing @#%$ at a crucial moment would just interrupt the flow, as I would be rolling around on the floor laughing!!

I didn't get it either! The first time I saw the @#%$, my first thought was, oh oh, someone forgot a little code or something, you know? But then I realized that no, it wasn't a mistake at all, it was just... the way it was, and really, I was too busy laughing my ass off to actually read the story. It definitely ruined it for me. I just gave up to tell the truth, I mean, I want to read slash, thank you very much not... the Wonderful World of Make Believe We're Not Really Writing Porny Stuff.

I'm not surprised! I would have as well *nods*!

I want to read slash, thank you very much not... the Wonderful World of Make Believe We're Not Really Writing Porny Stuff.

*laughs* Yes, I totally agree! But again, I still don't understand why someone would take a fic they are writing to that level if they are not comfortable with it. Why not just stick with kissing? Seems like the most sensible solution to me!

Bite me, indeed.

Oh hey, Tai, ma belle, wanna know what I'm doing right now??? Watching episode 4-06 of QaF! Like, the whole episode apparently! So, it's not the best way of downloading any episode, but dammit I so don't care, because I'm watching an actual episode without using bittorrent or the like atm. Too bad I can't use Window Movie Maker though because I could have put together all the parts in one big part. Anyway, I'm so grateful for [livejournal.com profile] paddies to even do it...

If you're curious, I mean, you know, while waiting for the CDs and everything, you can go here (http://www.queerasfolk.wiredhub.org/home.html). Hopefully you'll be able to access the site. And if you're really curious... well, check it out. Though well, it's like beginning at the end since it's S4, but I didn't care... obviously *eg*

Me again, I always forget that the only link that appears is the index URL. So go the Episodes section *g*

OMG OMG! I LOVE the episodes, and now I just know I'm going to LOVE the show! The characters? I LOVE them too! Oh man! Yes!

I know, I used way too many caps, and I don't care, woohoo lol

Well okay, now that I had my unexpected but oh so wonderful treat, I'm going to have to pay the price and go back to my oh so boring revision *makes face*

*wails & stamps foot* I can't get into the site! But it is fantastic that you liked it cos I trust your taste and judgment in these matters so I think I will like it too ^_^! *pouts* I will just have to keep trying the site as I really wanna see some now!!

Good luck with the revision!

This site is a real nightmare! I can't access it today-- actually it's like I can acess it only every two days or so. Highly frustrating.

And thanks *g*

It is so infuriating knowing that there is all that lovely QaF goodness there and I can't get to it *sobs*! Oh well, I'll keep trying ^_^!

Something even more infuriating; I downloaded iMesh this morning, and the three different QaF files I downloaded aren't working. Bloody codecs from hell!

Nothing works! Argh!

Have you got DivX Player?? I haven't met a codec yet that it can't play ^_^!

That's the weird stuff, I'm supposed to have that one too *scratches head* Will have to investigate further.

Oh also, QaF 407 is up at the site we were having so many problems with. I was able to access it without problem today, so maybe? But you know, QaF is supposed to be up at bitTorrent too... since you use it all the time, maybe it'll be easier for you? *g*

Nope, still not working ;_;! Ooh, 'available with bittorrent' music to my ears... will have to check that out ^_~!

Hey, keep me posted, please? Also, I thought of something... if you do d/l some of them, do you think you could send some of those files via MSN one of these days? I mean, they're apparently all doing it at [livejournal.com profile] qafdownloads, and I admit I never really thought about doing it myself. Sure, I've been sharing files via MSN or AIM too, but I just never thought of sharing that kind of file-- and don't ask me why, I have no idea lol...

So maybe?

Hey, keep me posted, please?

I will, don't worry ^_~! I've given up for today though, as it appears I have to sign up to something... I hate that! I will do some more investigation and let you know what I come up with ^_^!

The MSN thing is a good idea because with us both having DSL, hopefully it wouldn't take too long, eh??

I hate when they ask us to sign up for stuff we want on-line. Why don't they just give everything without any hassle *glare*

Yes, that's what I think as well-- it could be a nice solution in between the real thing. I could send you ep 406 and 407 if you still don't find anything, though they're each divided into 9 or 10 parts-- that's how the girl had to do it to protect her bandwith as much as she could. And the other girl who said she would upload ep 401 to 406 never got round to do it-- I'm afraid RL destroying the attempt *sigh*

That would be groovy, but I'll keep trying with bittorrent for now ^_^!

That would definitely be better *nod*

Oh btw, one of the CDs left Australia today. Now we just have to wait for the Australian post to do its job *g*
