OT amusement: You know you're a MEFA addict when... Posted by dwimmer\_laik October 02, 2005 - 11:00:37 Topic ID# 55631. The proposition, "If I've read it, then it was at MEFAs",
accurately describes the possibility that you've read any given story.
2. The fact that the conclusion "It was at MEFAs, therefore I've read
it" is a logical fallacy doesn't mean it's not true of you.
3. Since 98% of your fanfic reading material in the last four months
came from your MEFA ballots, you're beginning to fear that there may
be no reading material beyond them.
4. Friday night's fun is reading 25 vignettes and reviewing them.
5. So is Saturday night's fun.
6. And Sunday's.
7. You recruit your fiancé/e/SO/spouse to help read MEFA stories,
because If Ever Two Were One, whatever s/he reads should osmotically
pass on to you.
8. And this is the only reason why your house is relatively clean,
your work done, and your children fed.
9. You begin to have deja vu when reading people's reviews and are
convinced you've seen that one before, on the MEFA site, and there was
a dog singing Sinatra right beside it...
10. After the first hundred reviews, you find yourself thinking of
yourself and other reviewers as reenacting the Helm's Deep Orc-slaying
contest--and you don't want to be Legolas for once.

Re: OT amusement: You know you're a MEFA addict when... Posted by ghettoelleth@aol.com October 02, 2005 - 13:19:36 Topic ID# 5563The AntiDwimmer, A reviewers rebuttal to You know you're a MEFA addict...
You know you need to leave MEFA and come up for air when:
1. You try to withdraw money from your ATM using your MEFA password.
2. You write a morning after love note to your husband and begin it with a
critical acclaim of "His Work" of exactly 1,000 characters.
3. While writing said critical acclaim, you never stopped to count
characters until you thought you had at least 900...and you did, exactly.
4. Also in said acclaim, you chide yourself for taking advantage of his
talkative mood by posting large blocks of his dialogue in order to reach 1,000
characters without making yourself ill by piling on the adjectives ad nauseum.
5. You make alphabet soup for dinner and your wise ass 12 year old
challenges everyone to count the letters to see if they all made their 1,000
character quota.
6. You actually feel slighted because your bowl only has 700.
7. You step away from your PC for a moment to go outside for some fresh air
and discover, to your horror, that it is the first time you've been outside
in two days and the entire state of California is on fire. There is a
measure of relief to be had, however, when you realize that the reason you were
hyperventilating during the act of typing wasn't because you'd been sedentary
for far longer than you'd imagined, but simply because the smoke from the fires
is so thick you'd been suffering from oxygen deprivation to the point where
your lips are now blue.
8. Your cleaning lady gives up asking you to stand up and begins to clean
around you until eventually the day comes when she actually has to dust you
off as well or risk losing you to an over zealous child wielding a shop vac.
9. You stand up one day and discover that your silhouette has been forever
memorialized in the surface of your desk by a lemony fresh Pledge sheen that,
amazingly enough, resists fingerprints.
10. Not only can you not recall the last time you went out on a Saturday
night, you're not even sure which time the moon peaks over the horizon through
the window near your PC is a Saturday night.

Re: OT amusement: You know you're a MEFA addict when... Posted by MarigoldCotton@aol.com October 03, 2005 - 10:25:17 Topic ID# 5563I managed 222 reviews but only 2 author reviews I am afraid. I didn't sleep yesterday before I went to work, the equivalent of folks with a day job staying up all night, lol! But it was worth the effort!
My reviews got a bit shorter as time ran out I am afraid, and I didn't get to every story I wanted to so I sincerely apologise to the authors of those stories I missed.
Next year 1,000!!

There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach.
