Google, it's a thing

I am recording some of my worst writing habits for posterity.

Today's Google logo is the coolest. Yes, it is even cooler than the Pac-Man one.

Tonight my brother and I watch X-Men: First Class. Tomorrow is the Tel Aviv Pride Parade and I want to go, but only if I meet friends there. There is A Thing about the difference between the TA gay community and the Jerusalem gay community that I don't want to get into, but I am not really a Tel Aviv person. If I went alone I would feel lonely, estranged and out of place. If I went with friends, it would be awesome.

TV tropes is a kind of special hell for writers.

There is some sort of phenomenon with fandom kink memes that inspire a lot of gen. I don't really know what causes that to happen, but it's very interesting.

I have a lot of questions and observations today, but no answers or conclusions.

kink memes tend to inspire gen when they're for a source where no other fic has yet been written. Like, with Star Trek or First Class, after hte movie the kink meme was the main place people went for fic, and so ALL the fic they wanted to read/write got created for that, and much of it was gen.

with things like SPN, there's so much fic already and other venues for fic, that the kink meme tends to be much more specialized.

The weird thing is, this fandom had a SFW meme, and it was always slower than the kink meme for obvious reasons. But lately everyone's just posting their gen prompts to the kink meme and the SFW meme is basically dormant.
