maddoggirl is calling for folks to MST their very first Housefic, which caused me to look back and realize that my one-year ficiversary is coming up on July 5.  (STOP ME BEFORE I PORTMANTEAU AGAIN)  That might be a good deadline date if anybody has any fics they've been writing me, or thinking about writing me...

A few stats:
That Time Cameron Had Mono was posted to house_wilsonand house_slashon 7/5/06.  I had begged for betas on H_W on 7/2 and hellspoette, whimsicalwonder, blutige_liebeand Media answered the call.

Very first comment:  "It's unrealistically funny, yet... It fits. Overall good read." by elva_barr.  I actually emailed her to find out what "unrealistically funny" meant and she replied, "... it seemed like a very well-thought out parody. Not really making fun, but your fic to most slash was a bit like Jon Stewart to CNN. Both are good, and equally different, yada, yada."  I was bemused (had never intended it as a parody) and yet pleased.

It makes me happy to see that some of my current f-list commented on Mono:  axmxz, rivers_bend, idonmatrix, daisylily(LOVE), daasgrrl(who I totally fangirled all over in reply), and purridot(in her prior life as caerulea_cat).

I'm amazed that it's just coming up for your one year ficiversary. I thought you'd been around ages before me. It looks like I posted my first Housefic on May 19th.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

And I, of course, thought you had been in House ages before me. What an up-and-down the fandom's been since last year, huh?

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

It sure has. Season Three just wasn't the same. :(

It still seems like mostly a friendly fandom though, which I really like.

LOLZ LOLZ OH, my god. I don't remember my first fic. Because, for me, I feel like I dabbled around writing garbage trying to figure the characters out, and then I actually wrote something I liked.

LOVE THIS IDEA THOUGH.

And have you only been writing for a year, or writing house fanfiction? (And Happy Anniversary)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I've been writing fiction consistently (95+% House fanfic) for only one year. I've been dabbling in writing since high school, which was *mumble mumble* years ago, and my whole career I've had some business writing responsibilities at work.

Thanks!

Hee. I posted my first Housefic on 6/7/06 (Three Brothers (http://community.livejournal.com/housefic/509955.html#cutid1).

It received five comments. I think it has a few decent lines in it, but I think more than anything else it's a little ... pretentious.

I'm not sure that I have time to MST it, but I wouldn't mind if anyone else did ... *g*

*grumbles*

Damn parentheses ...

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

It's marvelous, of course, as with all your other stories.

It seems like it's been way more than a year for me - same with you?

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Heh. You are much too kind.

It seems like it's been way more than a year for me - same with you?

*snorts* I don't know about me, but I'm sure it feels that way for Mr. Nightdog. ;-)

Your first fic has always been one of my favourites - that, and The Registry, which is what prompted me to offer my betaing services.

Happy ficiversary! Have a lolly!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

A lolly for you too! It's been quite the partnership since Green, hasn't it? You are so awesome.

PS. Did you get my email on the 1 to 10 list? I cc:d your yahoo account too.

My favourite review involves my total and utter ability to not get my slippery little hoofs around commas.

I have to say - there were a few not really needed ones in there.

But the best comment I ever got for my writing was 'this is shit' - and that was for an entire magazine. Surely at least they enjoyed the music reviews?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Commas are such little things; I can see how they'd be hard to manipulate with hoofs.

I love an interesting review/comment - good or bad. The worst is no reaction at all.

[hellspoette.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOL WOW has it been a year? That's bananas.

I would MST my first (& only) House-fic, but I'm seriously afraid to go back & re-read it. Whenever I re-read any of my writing after some time has past, I invariably twitch into paroxysms of humiliation. Which I suppose is rather the point. Oh well.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Bananas!

"Paroxysms of humiliation" - good description of how I feel looking back at some of the things I've done or said in real life. Fic world, fortunately, I feel pretty good about. My head's such an interesting place to be.

Hey, I'm about three months out from my one-year House fandom anniversary. I should do something to celebrate it, when it comes.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Party in the genderswap universe! Or are we over that? I don't care; it was fun. : )

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

I passed my two-year anniversary for participation in this fandom a couple of weeks ago without realizing it. I'm pretty embarassed about some of my early stuff, so perhaps it's for the best I don't look back and just keep moving forward.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Wow, two years.

Can I tell you a secret? In an interview, one of the producers said something about the show going on for eight or nine years, and it made me sad. I'd rather have five high-quality years (with plotlines thought out properly, with that end date in mind) and let Hugh get back to his family then have four great years, two OK years, and two to three years of 'Is that show still on?' (*cough*ER*cough*).

Just keep moving forward is a great philosophy. : )

Hee, you've been around forever, haven't you? ;)

Mmm, anytime House and Wilson get married AND have sex in a public bathroom is just fine by me. I do remember that I wasn't going to read it originally just because of the title, and only relented because you absolutely swore it was H/W XD

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Forever AND a day.

The title was misleading, wasn't it? I laughed looking back at the old post where it was subtitled "Slash, I swear." XD

Me too, actually.
