Does anybody read subject lines?

Hey flist!

K, so my fingers are itchy to type something but I can't get my brain together for just one fic. I have a carousel of possible paragraphs for more than three of my fics in my head and I can't think about one fic long enough to write it down.
YAY.


I'm reading "reality_bends to Desire" right now. A verly long Spike/Wesley, NC-17, angsty and hot RPG. First entry is here.


Oh and btw...
A couple of weeks ago joolzmp7 gave me this link to this Dictionary-Thesaurus-More site. It's free of course. The site also offers a toolbar which is pretty handy. You can subscribe to a Word-of-the-day-Mailing list so you receive a mail with a word, the explanation of the word and usage examples (mostly from some quotes and such) every day. Quite amusing at times. Pretty good. Yesterday's word was "teetotaler". *snicker*
When I received the first mail I wanted to start writing word-of-the-day-drabbles but I just am no drabbler.

Oh and all you drabblers out there... can you please use CUT TAGS? If you don't know how to do cut tags look in lj FAGs FAQs or get the basics here. Same thing applies to all the longer entries and fic post. It's annoying to scroll and scroll and scroll through the flist...

Anyway, I've got a question:

I read a lot of fanfic and once in a while I stumble over this

I really don't know where this came from...

Why do people write this in the header???
I mean of course they know where the fic came from when they have written it.
Out of their heads. Are they ashamed of it so that they feel the need to distance themselves from it? *frowns*
