graculus1. Apparently, if you are Meant To Be Together, every time you have sex you will climax simultaneously. Every time in your multi-orgasmic encounters, which are unfettered by the reality of a little thing called the refractory period.
2. That the writer I was mocking at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
connotations last year has not given up her purple prose of doom and is indeed providing me with more raw material for this year's con (since apparently men have prostate glands but wizards have 'an organic pleasure button'). Not quite as florid as the previous example, but then that was something special in more ways than one...
3. That I can deal with TEEN CAPS OF ANGST if the story that provokes them is good enough.
4. That some people are clearly smoking the bad crack by what they put out in public (though I think I knew that already!).
5. That I find writing for other people (i.e. trying to figure out what they would like in these challenge thingys) much more anxiety-provoking than anything else. Including waiting for exam results and being interviewed for jobs. Bah.
6. That people think if they put quips in their author notes about how bad the story is, or how bad their writing is, that everyone will still rush to read what they've written anyway. And that usually they're right - it is bad.
So, what have you, oh wise friendslist people, learned this week? ;)
