Argh! The sunlight; it burns!
May. 10th, 2011 04:19 amJeez, it feels like I just emerged from a cave. A cave where I managed to write almost 20,000 words of Lake Placid-based J2 fic. \o/
If I wasn't so tired, I think I'd have to do a Snoopy Dance.
So, anyone feel like taking a look? I know I've probably got some grammar issues, especially in the home-stretch section, but mainly I just want to make sure that this monster is coherent and not one great big, huge mess. Also, I'd love if someone who hasn't seen the movie could take a look and see if they can follow the story. Lake Placid is one of my favorite movies, and I want to make sure that I didn't use my many repeated viewings as a crutch to skimp out on integral parts of the story.
If anyone's interested, let me know, and I'll send the fic out... After I take a long nap. ;)

Oooh mememememememe!
LAKE PLACID eh? As an Australian, I chortle at the crocodile facts- they did just enough research to get everything completely wrong. Well, except the size :)

Ha! I kept some of the 'facts' but changed a few others, and I've already put 'wonky science' in the warnings section. ;)

And I have never watched that movie so.
If you like silly/schlocky/campy monster movies that almost hearken back to the '50s creature features, then you should try and check it out. Plus it's got Bill Pullman, and Brendan Gleason, and Betty White being all fabulous and vulgar. ;)

Date: 2011-05-11 04:23 am (UTC)Thank you! I know I'll probably be tweaking it right up until I post the darn thing, but even if I'm not 100% happy with it, I did it, you know?
I've seen the movie multiple times and have been arrested by the grammar police many times.
Are we related? ;)
