You Know You're Addicted to South Park Fanfic When...

I thought of this the other day...anyone have anything to add?

You Know You're Addicted to South Park Fanfic When...

...you get upset when a subject of speculation is solved on the show because it moots a fanfic. ...someone says something, you scream "Fanfic idea!" and run off to write. ...you base a fanfic on a South Park-related dream you had. ...the first thing you look for when you check alt.tv.southpark is posts with the [fanfic] tag. ...you get upset when you check a.t.s. and find no new fanfics. ...you create your own fanfic characters to interact with the main characters. ...you prefer fanfics to actual episodes. ...you only watch the episodes to remember what you're writing fanfics about.

Yes to everything except the last one. Oh, and I have 2 more for you.

-When you strangled Kim to scare her into finishing McCormick (hi, Alyssa)

-When you spend more then 2 months on a huge fanfic project

-Kim

Alyssa)

<giggling> I didn't strangle you, did I?

How about...

- McCormick depressed you, more because of the fact that it's *over* than because of the content

<grin> Hi, Kim.

Lyssie

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yepper for me...I spent 3 hours saying 'It's over', I think I drove poor Lindsay nuts. But I'm starting on a cool new thingie using Lenni and Kendra...Kenny gets amnesia!

Hello, Alyssa.

-Kim (let's all trade McCormick jokes! This should be fun...)

than

She wasn't already? ;)

Kendra: <immediately starts walking towards the nearest cliff> Lenni: I think I'll second that...<runs after Kendra> Me: <blocks off the cliff> Now, now, you're not gonna quit before the game's begun, are you? Kendra: YES. Me: <ignoring Kendra> Everyone knows that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I trust Kim to not torture you too bad, so stop complaining and you can all go watch TV and eat Cheesy Poofs. Lenni and Kendra: <martyred sighs>

I have found that very very true....

Well at least THAT's never happened...

<hangs head in shame!>

This gets worse.

Oops.

I've got one more to add to this

...you are on the verge of tears when people don't write responces to your fanfics.

Ouch..I can relate, big time. Not on the verge of tears, of course, but *very* disappointed!

-Kim (not to say that McCormick's feedback hasn't been great so far, but..)

There are people you want to read adn comment on it? Yeah, I have the list somewhere..and I'd comment on how Great you are, but I don't want your head to explode before your done with THE STORY.

<sheepish grin> That's in there because I did it once... it was horribly serious, and unlike super-serious 'fics like McCormick and Playing the Game of Revenge, my 'fic wasn't very good... http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Studio/2030/spscript5.txt if you haven't read it already and are actually *interested* in it...

<grin> I think it's an epidemic among fanfic writers. If you write 'em, you wanna read 'em...

What, do you do it too? ;)

"Oops"? What means "oops"? :)

I'm not that bad, but it certainly discourages me... (Secret of Immortality and Mutant Jello hardly got any responses, BTW)

Yeah, too right. The only people that seem to read fanfics are the people that write them!

Yep! I normally check a couple of times a day but I rarely get any in the daytime with most other fanfic writers living in the States.

Oops is the sort of thing you say when you've made a mistake, like 'damn'. It's a British thing obviously. Like Twiglets.

Nah, kind of an over exaggeration there but so far of my five fics, only Mrs Berkley has had any real responce. I thought Psychomania would go down well... that reminds me I'd better finish that... oh and I've had a really good idea for the next one, all I'm saying is the working title, which is 'Fat'

.. . . you skip school or work to write a fanfic. .. . . you write yourself as a character in a fanfic. .. . . you can't sleep because you are trying to think of a new fanfic idea. .. . . you save all the fanfics you can find and the print them out to read as bedtime stories. .. . . during sex you get fanfic idea and leave your partner to write it. .. . . you pass up sex with <insert your favorite supermodel, stripper, actress here> to write a fanfic. .. . . you reply to 'You Know You're Addicted to South Park Fanfic When . . .' because it has 'fanfic' in the subject.

Start wishing that your school would get a 'South Park appreciation' class.
