How's everyone's writing? I've done some more writing on my chapter. I know where I want it to go I'm just pacing myself I guess which I don't know why.

Yeah this is driving me crazy too, and it's just another example of how lazy the writing is on this show. They don't even bother to toss in a random line or two about David's whereabouts, how hard would that be? But then he's not the only character to disappear without explanation. Crystal? Little Ed? Big Ed? Jackie's son Andy? Dan's youngest son Jerry? Bev?
It's been mentioned several times by the writers in articles that Fred, Andy and Dan & Roseanne's son Jerry don't exist in the show's universe. As for Bev we are going to see her sometime this season from what I've read, the writers just didn't say when. I hope that answers your question.

Out of curiosity, when is Louise coming back? She’s the outsider/voice of reason to the Conner family.
She's coming back on March 2nd the 14th episode I believe (I admit I had forgotten about the Olympics coming up next month) although she was supposed be in this episode for a short time.

Yep. Pretty much sums it up :D. Plus, alongside the reasons you and @Ceindreadh mention as to why it's a good idea to do that, even if those scenes and snippets don't wind up making it into the particular story you're writing, they may wind up being a part of some other story someday down the line, or at least help inspire a future story.
And it's also nice to have that stuff saved somewhere because it's like the written version of those DVD extras that have bonus features and deleted scenes :D.
Oh yeah it's definitely a great idea to have ideas written down because then you won't forget them - in fact I have mine jotted down on my notes thing on my computer and I periodicity look at it from time to time. In addition my ideas for the story I'm writing now only, but I do have other ideas in my story for another story I want to write as well.

I have sooooo many outlines and notes saved for various fics I"m working on :D. Sometimes I'll even write out little snippets of scenes/dialogue that pop into my head in there, too - even if it changes on its way to the final draft, at least writing a rough draft of it gives me an idea of what I want that scene to look like.
This is me too I’ve got so many ideas rolling around in my head it’s like my mind never shuts them off until I write them down or at least start them somehow.

Haven't had a chance to do any writing today, but I do have a few WIP one-shots open on my computer that I've been poking about with and working on over the last couple weeks or so :). I'm hoping to get at least one of them finished and posted sometime soon.
That's great! I'm still working on chapter 23 of my story.. I've written a little, but hopefully I can get back into it again soon.

Eh, I can understand that. If for no other reason than it would be weird to watch yourself on TV - I've heard some actors talk about how uncomfortable they feel watching back their performances, 'cause all they wind up doing is nitpicking and scrutinizing how they did and whatnot.
But yeah, actors and writers will definitely approach working on a TV show differently than us fans/viewers do - we're the ones who'll rewatch episodes over and over and discuss and analyze the episodes and write fic about it and whatnot. For the actors and writers, this is their job. They do their work and then they go home. They may enjoy some of the extra perks and other fun things that the job can bring, but at the end of the day, it's still a job to them.
Plus, it isn't just the actors and writers who affect how storylines go on a TV show. Network interference and other various outside factors can play a role, things that the actors and writers have little to no control over.
All of this!! It's still weird to me as well some actors/actresses don't watch their work, but as you said I definitely understand why and a lot of their reasons are very valid so I don't blame them.

It seemed like they were ignoring Katey Sagal completely in this episode. They could at least have mentioned her for continuity's sake.
Yeah true, but as I said she was supposed to be in this one though a short time. I was so mad she wasn't, still am. I miss Louise so much! I would have taken her on the phone with Dan saying how much she missed him, couldn't wait to see him or how much she loves him, just anything instead of nothing.

And when is his wife/Katey Sagal coming back???
Well I think Louise will now be back in March because the Olympics are coming up (February 4th until the 20th) which I had forgotten about, she was supposed to be in this episode for I believe a cameo according to the writers, but wasn't for some reason, but we will have two new episodes on the 2nd & 23rd of February with Louise coming back in the 14th episode - again according to the writers which would be March 2nd's episode.

Maybe they are waiting (to reshoot the opening) to see if they get renewed for another season.
That's very possible and I hope that's the case.

They could still do the table spin but have them appear as they do now, add Louise and for the love of all that's holy, lose the frikkin' sausage.
I agree with everything you've said.

If you turn off comments completely, they can't troll you ON AO3 at all. They can still find you other places. Also, tell that troll to fuck off.
Yeah well even so I still don't know and I wanted to tell them off so badly, but it's not my style to go off on people like that, but it would have been a good idea if I was like that. I don't know if I'd want to turn off comments though because there might be nice comments you know and I have a reader of my story that's also on there as well and I'd like them to comment over there (if I were over there that is)

You can turn off or moderate comments on AO3. Turning them off means you can't interact with anyone. Sorry you had to deal with assholes.
I just want to say thanks to everyone who agrees that comment trolls or people who discourage other writers are dicks.
The only problem with that is I don't know if the person is still over there, but they most likely are and then probably will start to troll and harass me when I put up my story there again, but as I said I'd love to go back...I just don't know if it would be a good idea.

If some loser is trolling authors because they don't like the ship, they really need to get a life. Or a therapist. Probably both. Either way, I'm sorry you were hurt by them, but please never let them discourage you from writing.
Thank you! It was only one person thank god, but it’s all good now for me and my story. I definitely agree with you on that it’s so dumb to do things like that. I’m not letting them discourage me at all, I’m still writing! 😊❤️

Not Like Ships In The Night: Shippers
in Actor/Character-Related Talk
I have so many ships/pairings from different fandoms that I love some canon and some not, but right now my main focuses for me which are both canon:
Gemma/Nero (Sons Of Anarchy) I love everything about these two so much the only thing really wrong with their relationship was they didn't get together and meet way earlier.
Dan & Louise (The Conners) I love these two so much! and I love how I got my wish for them finally. I usually don't really like slow burn relationships, but for these two it made sense to do their relationship like that and it was perfect wasn't too slow or too fast.
