So

This month I really am going to get my shit together.  May was just... ugh.

I still have some saved up questions to do posts about, and I'm thinking of doing the kudos meme that I've seen going around my flist, so something will definitely happen this week.

Today I was looking through the bookmarks on one of my more popular fics, and it was tagged with "soulmates, but a classy take on it."  For some reason that really cracked me up.  I didn't know soulmate fics had become inherently unclassy, and sure the whole point of that fic was to do it differently than the usual trope, but the term choice amused the heck out of me.

Sorry May was so awful!! Hope June is ten times better!

YAY!! Would definitely love to see that meme from you - should be interesting. :D

Hee!! Sometimes the words people use to review can be...headtilty (but still bring that smile!)

*HUGS*

Thanks bb!

As to that review, lol. I think there are two kinds of people when it comes to tropes, the kind that are like "yes give me a thousand this never gets old" and the kind that are a little backhanded in their praise like "this one was pretty good for a _ fic". I'm totally in the first category, and so I think when people are clearly less excited about fic tropes their commentary both amuses and puzzles me.

hahaha that tag! I didn't know it could be unclassy. But I'm sure I've read unclassy soulmate fic....Teen Wolf, you wretched fandom :P

LOL, there can be weird ones to be sure. But I guess a big part of what I love about tropes is how many different things get done with them.
