That Moment...

This is why I come to WF. In fact, this is why I live. Absolutely perfect.

 

TMW unicorns gain the invisibility spell.

 

TMW you're lunching with a bunch of sort-of important people in suits and everything they say make you think up inapproriate comments, so you end up saying basically nothing because you clearly can't adult today.

I've known this for a while, actually.

 

TMW...

You have a fridge horror realization about one of the concepts of your fantasy races. Cursed with immortality, so wouldn't that mean they would've overtaken the planet and overrun the other fantasy races by now? Come to think of it, this could apply to any fictional race that basically live for forever. How do they not eventually overtake the planet with their numbers alone? “A hundred years is but a blink of an eye to an elf” indeed. Imagine that in thousands of years, or tens of thousands? Millions?

Then you imagine Legolas at the end of the universe, with Middle Earth turning into a dead, burning wasteland as the sun begins to expand into a red giant, cooking it to a crisp. And there's nothing he can do about it.

And now I've made myself sad.

 

Only if they breed.

 

@Linkthewriter I honestly think the show was design for kids by people that really don't understand children.

 

TMW you wake up in the middle of the night with the song 'can't feel my face' stuck in your head.

 

TMW... You see a 'Caption This Game Screenshot' from State of Decay and the shot in question is of a female player character standing underneath a rocky bridge in the sunset with a zombie (zed in the game) in the distance. You crack your knuckles and start writing Twilight if Edward were a zombie. You make it a paragraph long and title it: Twilight Zed.

TMW... You resist the urge to share that passage here so as to spare everyone else here the horror.

TMW... You run that passage through the 'I Write Like' and get Mark Twain. @Lemex, I'm gonna go throw myself into a volcano now. It compared that deliberate crap I wrote to Mark Twain! >:[

 

TMW you post a story for critique, and several days later after much work, and changes, and help from others, somebody comes in and ignores every comment, and every revision to the story you have posted, and now posts something that at this pointmakes no sense... Sigh...

 

Not sure if you are allowed to, but you could:

1. place the original WIP into a spoiler so it remains but is hidden
2. put an actual link in OP to the newly posted version so people can click on it directly.

I don't read others comments when critiquing so I am not influenced by their thoughts.

 

Well, I put a disclaimer just above the original directing folks to the current location. So hopefully that helps.

 

TMW...

You come up with a romance story between a human girl and a zombie...only to find out that Warm Bodies beat you to the punch.

Well then, um...damn. Oh well, I've got the seeds of a survival/horror blossoming that has no zombie+human love going on. Because it's just gross, y'know?

 

Why would that be gross? As long as they're not hurting anyone who are you to judge?

 

TMW you write some words on some paper -- the first for quite some time -- and check for a red underlining squiggle on the word of which you are unsure of its spelling.

 

They eat brains! They smell, and they're rotting corpses. Oh, and did I mention they eat brains?

TMW... You are creating a villain and discover you've given him what may be the most cliché backstory ever. You know the one, the ‘I had a bad childhood, so that's why I'm bad now.’ Oi. I'd better examine him more closely and develop him into something better.

 

Omfg biggot wait til i tell tumblr bout this!

 

TMW you realize @Link the Writer is a Zombiephobe!

 

That moment...
you realize you do not really understand your closest friend.

 

For the record, I hate vampires too.

 

Buncha blood suckers....

 

TMW...

You realize that one of your characters, through one act, has made himself more disgusting and repulsive in your eyes than your actual antagonist.

 

TMW you have been trying to interpret so many of @Link the Writer 's acronyms in another thread that you can't even remember what TMW means...

 

TMW...

You have to explain that TMW means 'That Moment When'.

 

TMW it's too early for this nonsense...

 

TMW you're attacked by a fly that insists on sitting on your face. You try to smack it, crush it, squash it, hammer it to death, but it just keeps on living and targeting your face.

Seriously, that fly was indestructile.
