    Fell down the Tiktok FF/book binding rabbit hole last night.  SMH.  What is wrong with people?

      Been reading up… and there’s authors deleting their stories due to the proverbial game of whack-a-mole, which AO3 makes this easier too with PDF downloading.  AFAICT, the etsy/book-binding is like charging HUNDRED or more bucks for printed/bound copies of particular fanfictions, acting as the publisher.   Yeah, this is pissing the writers off.

      Rightfully so!  I was offended as a reader – you, oh bottom feeders, are jeopardizing our “harmless” entertainment.  Go away!

      In our defense, downloaded from AFF is not easy.  As a writer, I tried with one of my stories to take a red pen to it.  NO DICE.

      Getting high-priced lawyers involved is how you get the new rules around Star Trek fan-films (15 minutes max, no episodes, etc...), or the rights holder goes Anne Rice and prohibits all fanfiction with cease & desist orders.  Anybody rich enough to counter with lawsuits is also well off enough to negotiate authorized derivative works, leaving the average fanfic writer high & dry.  Hope those bottom feeders suffer from papercuts, lots and lots of vicious papercuts.

    Left my OC sitting between two naked men in front of a roaring fire. Desperately need to go back there.

    Never realized my writing skills would boil down to helping TinyDancer write fellowship applications ...

      My “succinct” eloquence will always be needed when she’s only allowed 1 page …

      One page?  What’s the size of a page?  Use columns, and… reduce that font size...everybody should be able to read 1pt fonts! :)

    Well, having failed all conservative treatment options, I’ll be setting up for chemotherapy for this oddball immune system of mine.  Wish me luck!

      You didn’t fail those treatment options – they failed you.

    Since you don’t seem to understand this – JayDee was being sarcastic. Google Bruce Springsteen. Bronxwench is the final authority for your questions or issues. You have the email to reach her. Cut out this nonsense, NOW.

    Taking baby steps: wrote one page, now fighting my inner demons NOT to tear it up and burn it.  I’ve got to get back in the writing habit, even if it is AWFUL.

      fight the urge.  fuel is expensive

      So many hate the fact that the perfection eludes them but they fail to consider the inverse nothing you write is <3 worthless. <3:cheerfulcat:

      They’re slowly getting everyone full functionality.  This was not well planned lol.

      It never is. Trust me, I work for the freaking government, so we’re definitely going with dysfunctional.  But at least we got the word on Thursday that we shouldn’t go out and visit cases in person anymore.  :lol:

      Well, I don’t work for the government, but I do work at a grocery store, so I sympathize in regard to the craziness.  Sorry for what you’re going through.

    A long, long time ago, in what feels like another lifetime, I wrote a tribute piece for a dear friend who passed away. The piece was for publication in the flyer for his memorial race. Yesterday, his son, now my neighbor, stood in my yard, with tears in his eyes, thanking me for writing the piece, capturing what that part of his dad’s life was all about. I didn’t sign the piece. He just knew it was me. He says he goes through his dad’s scrapbook every year, takes out that flyer, and smiles. So for those of us who write, alone in the dark, with no idea who is reading, keep writing. If your words only touch one person, you have succeeded! Keep writing!

      Thus far, I’ve tried:

      1. Telling off the biggest boss I could find
      2. threatened to stab my favorite coworker with a plastic spoon
      3. told a client that I’m not Dr. Who and can’t use the Tardis to travel back in time to accommodate their request
      4. told same client that they would need to provide the Oujia board to have the dead person sign the documents that they wanted signed
      5. yelling at the closest supervisor to me
      6. Yelling at email from aforementioned client: “F off, Dickety Dick!” in front of the biggest of the big bosses
      7. Asked another client, “What part of ‘your borrower does not want to do that’ did you knot understand?”
      8. Stood up with the same coworker, blasted “I Will Survive” while singing along and Dancing at our desks
      9. Bit my supervisor’s finger – she had her hand clamped over my mouth when MucketySchmuck was escorting visitors past us on a tour – ruined my perfect window of opportunity 
      10. Sat at my desk and filed my nails while waiting for the computer to catch up to me
      11. used my cellphone at my desk in full view of everyone
      12. walked across the office with my dress tucked in my underwear – granted that was a mistake but …
      13. deliberately did not dress up on “visitor day”

      Honestly, just reading this is one of the funniest experiences I’ve had this month.
