I've gone on digest on BBF, and it's doing wonders toward tampering my urge to reach into the screen and strangle random moronsstrangers. This way, you still get the URLs in your inbox for fic you may want to read, with considerable lessening of the annoyance factor.

Anyway. The het/slash (but not in a porny way) debate seems to have died down. Now, it's just one person with a persecution complex making ripples in the water.

Someone remind me to breathe? And to remember it's just a list

I have a highly developed and near-legendary ability to ignore that which displeases me, thus I'm watching the BBF thing with a distant, old-timery BOFQ amusement.

It's always nice when people make themselves look incredibly biased, ignorant, and immature all by themselves.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Or maybe that's the whiskey.

Put on some Depeche Mode, pour yourself a boilermaker, and write the fic that makes people cry. That's what I'm doing.

Single malt, and I think I'm gonna watch me some 5 x 5. Mmm. Torture.

BOFQ?

Bitter Old Fic Queen.

Bitter Old Fic Queen.

t edit yeah.

I thought it was *Bitchy* Old Fic Queen.

I thought it was *Bitchy* Old Fic Queen.

The term is usually used in a derogatory sense, and has traditionally been Bitter Old Fic Queen.

Some of us have tried to reclaim the BOFQ title, and substituted Bitchy for the B, since I'm not so much Bitter as Crankily Been There and Done That and Here's My Frickin' T-shirt, ifyouknowwhatImean.

Is it time to google JennyO's original rant? Quite possibly. But I quite consciously wear the BOFQ title.

Ah -- I got "Bitchy" from Shrift. I knew it came from somewhere.
