I despise those words. "TO BE CONTINUED..." In the TV sense, they mean sitting around for a week (or months depending on where in the series they're up to) waiting and endlessly obsessing over the possibilities of what comes next. Likewise in fic, there's the waiting and impatient moments BUT there's also the little bit where it's not definite that a next bit will come up. If the writer gets writer's block or decides they don't want to finish, it's forever TBC.

Aww! You don't have to stop on account of me. Just...sing quietly. ;)
If that makes you gulliable, then I'm right there with you. I've been conned into so many things like that. SG-1 RPG wouldn't be too bad though, would it? =)
Yes! Exactly. It's bad enough in the case of tv where you know that (barring writer's strikes....) the storyline will eventually be finished. With fic it's worse. I can understand why a lot of people don't read WIP's, just because you never know.
Lol, I can't sing too much right now.. I've had this weird cough all week, it's all down in my chest so it's the really deep kind that hurt when you cough. I had a bit of food poisoning last sunday, mom thinks I ended up with something in my lungs. She's spent the week looking at me oddly and saying she thinks I have walking pneumonia. It's going away now, and it doesn't hurt much to inhale anymore, so I'm not going to a doctor..
Yu-huh. I never really read WIPs for that reason. Aaand, well I read so much that I tend to forget what bit of a fic is from which fic and there's confusion. Yeah....
Oh, damn! You haven't seen a doc at all? If it's going away now, I guess that's okay, but... Yeah. I hope you're feeling better with it real soon! *hugs*
I normally don't either, but there are a few exceptions. Like there's this one Bones fic at ff.net, and it's amazing, it's so them. Unfortunately the writer updates every couple months and it's bugging me. *grumps* Ohh!! Haha, I've done that. I'll be mixing fics up in my head and trying to coordinate what goes where with which plot..
No, I haven't seen a doc *blushes* I know, I know. I think it really is getting better though, towards the beginning of the week I could only take small breaths or else it would hurt a lot and end up with me coughing. I generally avoid doctors. Except House, I think I mentioned that lol.
Yeah, it is! It's like crackfic, who needs it, just mix a bunch of fics up in my head and there's your crackfic. XD
I know the feeling. Not myself personally, but the rest of my family, they're a bit trouble prone so we've been to far too many hospitals lately and I'm just kind of sick of that.
Same here!! Most of my ramblings are fandom-related, of course, so if my family actually followed the series I keep with, they'd get it. Maybe...
Yup! Here's hoping. *crosses fingers* Bad resolution there - or badly phrased anyhow. How's this instead: avoid being sick or injured. Staying out of hospitals at all costs could be deadly if anything DOES actually happen. Which it's not cuz I say so, but..well, you know.
Likewise! *points at sidebar* I don't even know how many fandoms I have though, so if I don't know, the chances of anyone else knowing is slim. Heh. I'm used to it.
Yup, go see a doctor, get better and then never get sick/injured again and then never see a doc/hospital again. Sounds like a plan.
Awww, well if you have to see a doc, it's better to get it over with sooner rather than later. Wouldn't want to get really sick and have to go multiple times. Yay for cough syrup though. It's always good with that kinda thing. (which is good considering that's why they made it, but...i'll shut up now.)
Well I don't like doctors, they've got needles and stupid tests and annoyingness. *raises eyebrow* You're a mutant, that's gotta be the explaination. Cough syrup is icky :P
Nope, I'm not a mutant. After having gone to doctors so often this year I think I've just gotten immune to them. And hey! Some cough syrup isn't TOO bad. Better than spending hours coughing up stuff.
Hmph. Says you. *poke* I guess that's a possibility. I wander between being extremely annoyed with them and just plain afraid xD How is it possible to make someone take their medicine from halfway around the world? I'll go take more cough syrup :P
Says you. Hehe! Sam/Cam line! =D Yup, yup. I can bribe you. With fic. Or...erm...I don't know. Maybe I'll just stop talking to you until you've taken some = and posted a photo as proof. ;D Okay. Not really. I'm not that mean.
Yup, I think it was from Insiders or an episode around there. Will have to rewatch to be sure. The scene is made of cute, anyhow. ;)
I might! And you know I'd give you fic. Chances are I have something written up for you in the "Fic Pile Of Doom" (which is almost 2cm thick and growing). Sure you did. ;P
Hehe, that explains it. I haven't seen Insiders since.. hm, it's gotta be since summer. I'll have to go watch it then.
Ooh really? *hopeful look* I've got a virtual fic pile of doom, I did get to work on one of em last night though. Apparently I can write when I'm hyper :p

Aww, do I sing that badly? :P
>>don't answer that.
Yeah..
It's a fun thing though.

Nope, you don't. Really! I just...I dunno. *shrugs* Heh.
It is a fun thing. *nods*

Date: 2007-11-26 06:55 am (UTC)I know how it ends from here and I still hate it :P
*g* Yeah.
Okay fine, no singing then.
I think I must either be really gullible, or my friends just know how to play me. I signed up for an SG-1 rpg because she conned me into it.

Eh, well...yeah. Avoiding docs is bad but understandable. I don't like 'em much either. Seen a lot of them this year unfortunately. But yeah...

no subject
Date: 2007-11-26 08:30 am (UTC)Exactly. So now I'm hoping we can just lay low and avoid all the wacky traumas and mystery ailments and just have a nice relaxing year.
no subject

Maybe that'll be my New Years resolution- to stay out of hospitals at all costs.

But does that mean if this cough doesn't go away that I have to see a doctor?
