User blog:Fadingsilverstar16/Just wanted to pop in and say some stuff.

First of all, congratulations to Sprinkle for earning his second Featured Story and his THIRD Featured Image! That last one's definitely a record breaker. And it's an LAL pic so I'm just filled to the brim with squee right now. You totally deserve it, dude! ♥

Also, congrats to Spenny for winning FC with Damien and Daisy, who were featured as a couple in honor of the month of February! :D

And congrats to TDIwriter for winning FA! You really deserve it. :)

Anyway, yeah. I know you all are sharpening your pitchforks while wondering where Chapter 15 is. I did work on it some this weekend and this is going to be a pretty light week when it comes to school, so I have lots of time to work on it. I admit, though, I didn't work on it Sunday or Monday after seeing some other people's fanfiction being called pathetic and thinking "Holy crap, that might be horrendous (seriously, one had to do with Twilight and the word "unicorn" was used as a metaphor for...something unmentionable), but what about me? Am I even pathetic?". Needless to say, I kinda have to ignore that sinking sensation that my writing might be even worse than I think it already is and just keep pushing on. ^_^;;;;

In somewhat related news, I read a big chunk of book that shall not be named (unless someone really wants to know), and it's actually kind of awful. I mean genuinely awful. But then I had the thought, "Oh please, you silly fanfiction writer. At least he's making money off of this, right? That made me wonder if my writing would be on caliber with his, and if it is (which it's probably not), would that mean I actually might have a chance at getting published one day? It is a question that will probably never be answered. xD

Which begs another question, have you ever read a fanfiction and thought the writing was better than some books or TV shows or movies or anything that's been published and makes its creators money?
