If this keeps up, I'm seriously considering leaving the House fandom. I don't know if it's because the general audience for House is younger or because the main character is a jerk and the fans are modeling themselves after him, but this is getting too far out of hand. In the short time I've been involved in this fandom, I've encountered more kerfuffles, trolls, and just general bitchiness than I've ever even seen in Jossverse. I don't think I've ever even come across a single troll in Jossverse, come to think of it.

Trolls are... so bad. They do what they do only to make other people unhappy. They really crush my spirits because they remind me that there are bad people in this world. It's probably stupid to let small things like that get me down but I can't help it.

And, no, I didn't just write this post to complain. Unfortunately, there are things to be complained about. And doesn't that suck all by itself?

Oh, and don't think I'm saying that all of the House fandom is like this. There are many very nice people in it. Brilliant writers, artists, and mods who clean up the trolly mess and make my friends page pretty again. For them I am glad.

Anyway, let's talk writing. The next chapter of SR is finished. Well, that is, I finished writing it. It still has to be sent off to my lovely beta, kitty_poker1 before it can be officially labeled 'done'. But, see, the thing is, I wanted to finish at least one more chapter before sending off/posting this one, so it wouldn't be such a long wait for you guys next time.

And that's where the problem lies. Everything I write? Complete crap. I don't know why. Maybe it's 'cause I haven't written in an embarrassingly long period of time.

So, to test that theory, I need your help. All of you. Give me a fandom (one you know I'm interested in, I don't care which), character(s), and a prompt. I'll force myself to write something for whatever I get and maybe I'll be inspired to get chapter 29 written. Sound good? Good. Now hit me with your best!

I know it's been a while since I've posted any stories, and for that I am very sorry. Today, I've got two drabbles. They're not Spander, so I don't know if any of you are going to read it, but, still, what's the harm in posting?
