Nope.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I edited, to preserve the string of edits!

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Now only Am is crazy. She ought to over-write her post, and this conversation will puzzle future generations.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
This surprises me not at all. Although the subtext is that "true HP fans" will be left alone so long as the rating for their fic remains R and under.
Huh.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
She smiled and said, in New York accent, "That I am, Blondie. Heard you were doin' the deed with the nasty that got me."
Oh, again, dear.

re: the feedback discussion. Did we ever decide on the etiquette of bad feedback? The story was SO CLOSE, but blew it in the characterization. Well, and the plot. And I actually do want to say, "Gosh, I wish I hadn't read that." But I'm thinking silence on the matter is the best answer.

Personally? I'd say don't do it.
It's one thing if parts of a story really work for you, to send a LoC with what worked/what didn't spelled out, but if you'd rather have not read it, I'd venture to say leave well enough alone.

If it's that bad, I'd go with silence. If I liked it except for some characterization issues, or a particular plot twist, I'd send positive feedback and ask if they want more indepth comments/criticism.
Unless it's someone I know won't mind if I get a little critical.
