vr_trakowski: (texting)
[personal profile] vr_trakowski
So I posted my Iron Man fic yesterday and went happily off to read fic in the fandom. Imagine my chagrin when I discovered that just about every detail I had included in my story had already been done, repeatedly and well. *snerk* So much for originality. Still, commenters have been kind.

[personal profile] cincoflex suggested it, so I dug up the icon. Because it's true. [profile] laura27md , I know you're laughing.

Texting with a standard phone keyboard does take getting used to...God help me if I need to use punctuation.

I can't not use punctuation. I'm hopeless at texting because I don't abbreviate. Try Jott.com--it's free and you can speak messages to be texted to other people's phones.

BTW, GREAT icon.

Jott.com...I'll give it a try.

Thank you about the icon.

In fandom, the motto is "Always room for one more," m'dear!

True, true--I just hate being late to the table, you know. :P

Hee! I couldn't resist when I saw it. Gotta love the folks who put 'em up for people to take!

I don't text, if I need to contact someone I prefer to speak to them. I can't understand the attraction of texting.

How many story idea's have been covered in CSI fics? Lord knows some are done far better than others. Yours are firmly ensconced in the latter so I would expect this one is as well. Cinco is right, always room for one more.

I guess in some circumstances it's either faster or easier than a phone call, but yeah.

Thank you! I don't think I did a bad job, really, but that's what I get for posting without reading anyone else's stuff. On the other hand, if I had read, I probably wouldn't have posted, so... *shrug*
