Thanks for that link, 'suela. Sniffling a little here myself.
That's insane troll logic!

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Huh.
Historical novelist Jo Graham is teaming up with SF/F novelist Melissa Scott to write a six-volume series of Stargate Atlantis novels.

I have to admit, I don't know why they didn't hire Martha Wells for it. But, whatever.
Still, Fandemonium isn't exactly the place where you make your fortune...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Oooh! That's a franchise tie-in I'd for once be interested in, if only because Teyla is likely to get a fair treatment with that authoring.

OMG, I just put all of one my fanfics into one file and it is like 19K words. I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Just got a very back-handed compliment on something I wrote. Which feels like a shitty thing to complain about, as if I'm all "Where is the extolling of my virtues?" but it's *fanfic*...it's not like I'm going to make it up later in video rights...without the occasional compliment, it's like one hand clapping. I mean, Fay liked it. Which is totally good enough. But still, nothing about that made you laugh, or anything? But I guess she's not really about the fandom, just about one of the characters.

Oh, lordie. I made a public post very politely asking podfic readers not to record over music because it makes it hard to follow the story when you do that.
I've been accused of "entitled" behavior.
Which, of course, is far worse than being ableist.
MERF. Fans! Why so craxy!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pulling attitude, expecting to hear the story, demanding of people who are sacrificing to make you happy. Okay, not to make you happy, because you can't hear the story, but you know what they mean.

Yes, my elaborate discussion in three quarters of the post of how much I appreciate the time and effort people put into making podfic clearly indicates my entitled attitude.
Because as you know, I never contribute anything to fandom. Being a leech the way I am.
Oy.

Well, I'm entitled too. Entitled not to raise my normal frustration levels by even trying to listen to something I find difficult to decipher. And I'm entitled to call the people who think recording two concurrent streams of audible words a daring and innovative way to present a story poopyheads.

Yes. There is a REASON why professional audiobook recorders don't pull that stunt.
I just love how so many people are all about championing or being aware of the rights and needs of various groups--until it means having to address their own actions. Feh.
