Tumb1r... Or is it Tumblr?

I appologize for the lack of saying-ness.  I've been trying(and failing) to finish up some of my stories.  I'm currently working on three.  My Badlands Story Arc, a Medic Vs Medic story and trying to finish up my The Hidden Arc.  Are they called story Arcs?  Not sure.  I just assumed that Story Arc means it takes up multiple chapters to finish.  Maybe it only relates to Comics.  *shrugs*

Anyway.  I'm currently working on them, and failing spectacularly because I found Tumblr.  Oh dear god, what I had gotten myself into, I'll never know.  D: 
It's a nice little blog set up, I admit.  But the people I'm following on it... It's just... Lets just say if I wasn't a fan girl because I didn't fantasize about certain characters enough, Tumblr turned me into one.  Oh that sounds so dirty. 
*facepalm*
That, my friend is Tumblr.  I blame Tumblr, 110%. 

*Sigh*

But I'm working on my stories.  Getting a lot of inspiration for my original story.  I don't have anything down yet, but I take notes.  A lot of notes. 

I've also stumbled upon a wonderful Spy story on DeviantArt.  I admit, I was not a big fan of this type of story, but once again, I blame Tumblr.  It's called Training. 
Training
It's about a Spy who joins the TF Industries.  It's his first three weeks in training where he breaks the rules of not making Friends with other trainees.  There's much MUCH more to it but I don't want to spoil it.  :D  I mean, the author said there was 9 chapters and she's only on the 5th.  And the 4th was just mind blowing.  I was literally, reading with my jaw on the floor.  I mean, just thinking about it is bringing tears to my eyes.  I rarely get this excited over fan fics, but this was great.  It's not something I would, or could, write.  I'm not the very emotional type of person who could not put what they feel in expressive enough words. 
And there's another one that I especially like, about a Sniper.  It's not The Sniper, Mr. Mundy, but about an OC Sniper.  I believe it's called Trench Warfare.  Very, very good.  And I more often then not dislike OC fan fic characters because they are usually... Can't think of the word.  Usually, over-powered in a sense.  They usually have the power to seduce the Main character if it happens to be their favorite.  Other characters are in love with them, it's just really stupid.
But she makes it different.  I mean, thinking about it now, she did do what I just described. (lol) But at the same time, She uses the other characters.  She actually creates a story behind it all.  They just don't 'love at first sight'.  She has them all bond. 
Sadly, I think she stopped writing it though.  She's on the 6th chapter and she said that she stopped because she wasn't getting enough views and comments on it.  Which I think is stupid.  Hell, I have so many stories I'm not sharing on DA, and are never going to see the light of day outside the small times I flip through the notebook.  I do it because I have the need to do it.  It makes me feel good to write them down.  But the fact that you stop writing on it because, Waah I no get no views. 

Hmmm.  Well.  It's getting late.  Quarter to 1 am.  Bed time, methinks.  Good night.  And thanks for listening to my banter.  It feels good to banter.  :)
