1. Just in case people were wondering, yes, I do like having an actual job. And possibly, the next time someone tells me I must enjoy being out of work and having other people take care of the bills I'll actually rip their face off instead of taking it meekly.

2. Fandom's bitch I may be, but I'm getting tired of writing fic to spec and getting little to no reaction. Next time someone wants "the girls of SG-1 kidnap Cameron and play poker on him" fic, look for someone else to fucking write it.

3. If my writing sucks, fucking tell me.

4. Stop telling me that if I want more fic like X I should write more fic like X. 'Cause you know what? I don't want to read my own fic.

4a. Although it is comforting to actually have it to read when faced with the multitude of shitty fic out there.

5. I don't fucking care if you're doing nano.

1. WTF? Asshats.
2. What the... dude, I totally missed that. D'oh!
3. It doesn't. If someone says it does, flip them off.
4. Heh! Is it bad that I felt like saying, "If I wanna fucking complain about some shitty fic, I WILL! SO THERE!"
4a. amen.
5. So you don't want people to mail you updates? And maybe call every 100 words or so? :P

Is it bad that I felt like saying, "If I wanna fucking complain about some shitty fic, I WILL! SO THERE!"

Nope! Because I say that all the time.

Or maybe it's bad, but I don't care if it is.

1. Yah. The rage, she is... rageous. Yes.

2. Ack. 's ok. I just... posted it for feedback, actually. *whores self*

3. They have not. Occasionally, I get saddened by this fact.

5. Noooo. *eyes* (even when I did nano, I'm pretty sure I didn't generally talk ab-- *pauses, looks around for bolt of lightning* Er, I don't think I did? I don't remember. I know I mocked my efforts, and wrote really crappy/scary porn)

1. Yeah, because job hunting is so easy, and of course you would've found a job ages ago if you'd only been applying yourself. You and all my other out of work friends who would dearly love to be employed. Hurting someone who says that is kinda forgivable.

2. I read that fic. I loved that fic! (And I plead 'I was on vacation' as to why I didn't comment. I had online time to read, but not to comment on much.)

3. Your writing does not suck. If it did, I...well, I probably wouldn't say anything. Which means I wouldn't comment on stories, and I wouldn't tell you flat-out that your writing doesn't suck.

4. Oh, boy, that old trope again? I write what I want to write, but if I'm writing it, why would I want to read it for entertainment? I hate that line.

4a. Good point.

5. Okay! I'm certainly not upset by that, though I obviously am only talking for my semi-apathetic self.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

1. Just... the rage is still so very there. At least I've ranted, though.

2. Ack. It's ok. Ifeelverychildishnow.

3. Which kinda works, as I don't go round telling people things of that nature (sigh. The cult of nice is still hard to break out of)

4. I remember when I was on the other side--the stuff I wanted to read was getting written all over the damned place. And I'm sure I said something like that, at least once. And. ARGH. I wish I could go back and smack myself.

5. ack. *blush* The stupid thing is, it wouldn't normally bother me... but it was like another straw? yus.

[havocthecat]

1. I honestly wouldn't expect the rage on that one to go away, even with a rant. Because you are so not the slacker type, and that's pretty freaking obvious to anyone who knows you.

2. You know, I think we've all had that "But doesn't anyone ever read my fic?" reaction. God knows I get it too.

3. The cult of nice is a bitch to deal with, because on a bad day, it's about half a step away from the cult of passive-aggression. Which I try to avoid like the plague.

4. *giggle* Oh, well. You know, we can just call it a learning experience or whatever, and then ignore the hell out of it.

5. I so get that one. And I am remarkably unflappable about it. So I'm good.

...Hug?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Er, it had been building for a while.

*hugs*

[woodface]

*flails* I missed that fic! *goes read*

*snuggles*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Isok. *snuggles*

[woodface]

*cuddles*

[centerspire.livejournal.com]

Um...love you. Look, naked Kara!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*is distracted* *retaliates* (also, I saw a preview for that, and it looks really really bad)

[centerspire.livejournal.com]

Boobies, YAY! Yeah, I saw that preview too. And yeah, it looks really bad. But that's from KLG1. So it really is naked!Kara. (If it was naked!cypher there would be tattoos. MMM...tattoos.)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Ah! Still. Hrm. Naked!Kara... *distracted* (damn, I'm jealous of Anders. He got to see a LOT of naked Kara)

[centerspire.livejournal.com]

(Yes.)

[thatpalebluedot.livejournal.com]

1. ..the fuck???

2. HUH? See 4.

3. *crickets chirp loudly*

4. I enjoy all your stories hon, whatever they are (though I don't usually read the non-crossover BSG ones, just cause I don't watch it and it's harder to follow.)

*hugs*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

1. Yah.

2,3,4. *laughs* Thank you =) (and, er, I really kinda wish I could take that part back, except that I meant it. Though now I feel childish. sigh.)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

1. Trust me, I know. It's... GAH. The job market some days makes me want to scream. A lot. And I'm paranoid even having a job (I've watched my father lose his too often to just be sanguine about it) that it's going to disappear anytime soon.

Thank you. (even if I feel childish about having ranted about the rest of my points, at least I no longer feel like I'm going to bite someone's head off)

You sound like you need some porn. But maybe that is just me.

As for #3, uh...no. 'Cause it doesn't. It *so* doesn't. I am on standby to gush about your writing anytime you need. I can do fangirly like nobody's business. It's actually quite frightening.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

See, suddenly, that makes sense. If I'd come home to porn, my brain would have been on an entirely different thread.

Eep. *blush* The irritating thing is now I feel childish about this. Argh. *stamps foot* *goes looking for porn*

[annerbhp.livejournal.com]

Don't feel childish. We all have shit days/weeks/years and derserve to blow off steam. It's not like you hurt anyone (except perhaps, if we are *very* lucky, the fucktard who made you feel #1). So bitch away. If some of us get the chance to make you feel a little better, all the better.

I'd recommend some porn, but I usually rec yours. I think you might already be familiar with that.

Now look at the pretty Ellen you made and think about what a fantastic disaster she was. :)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Thank you =)

I have gone looking at pictures of SFF men, and, well, that's almost as good as porn.

*happysigh* Oh, Ellen.

[endis-ni.livejournal.com]

Just to tide you over until the day I figure out how to send chocolate through the wires (and retire fat and wealthy). Hugs!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

yay! *munches*

[syxp.livejournal.com]

Your writing sucks.

Now go make some more sucky stories for me to not enjoy. :P

I don't even know what nano is so I don't fucking care either. *rages*

And I would pay money to see you actually rip someone's face off because that would be the coolest thing ever.
