I figured it was time...
Hot here, then chilly, rainy then dry, humid then not...gah! I loathe summer.
I'm working on *three* fics at once. Jayzus. Two Sweet Charity fics and my BigBang fic, which isn't really a BigBang fic since i missed the due date for first draft. But! Writing! Spander and SPN fic in the offing!
:)
I wanted to link a post about, basically, fannish etiquitte. A very non-wanky response to the recent wank, plus a good read.
"I've always wondered what fandom etiquette was for negative feedback or negative constructive criticism."
As for the recent wank itself...am i now to be counted on the side of 'mean girls'? Perhaps i am. Well, so be it. I did not, once, say anything *personal* about the author whose work was being discussed. Pretty much no one did, that i recall. But the simple fact that i have an opinion and stated it - in, yes, not the *nicest* of ways - has made me a terrible person to some.
I honestly cannot care. A point - several points - were entierly ignored and glossed in the rush to 'defend' said fragile soul's honor and feelings and i just...am baffled.
For the record - if any of you out there want to con-crit the bejeezus out of my fic? Have at it. It's *always* open mic night, as it were, at Other Scarecrows. Point out my typos, tell me my grasp of English grammar is atrocious, flail about in a moil of confusion because my plot-fu is teh suck. Go for it!
I write because i *must*. Because there are stories and voices in my head that won't be silent. I want to show you *my* world, and if my words don't work, i want to know!
One last thing - there are several people out there who are friends with 'said author' who have, in the past, commented here. They - any one - is welcome to continue to comment here. I don't check other people's flists, and i don't care who you read, or comment to, or friend. It's not my business and it means utterly nothing. I would not - could not - be that petty.
And - i got tagged on a meme by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
buffyaddict13 and i'm actually gonna do it! So it's under the cut.
