Dana, put down the bad fic and walk away.
Or is this going to take an intervention?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Are you kidding? This is the most I've laughed in a while.
I think it's the image of a tiny Billy Joel that really pushes it over the edge.

Tea on my monitor AGAIN. I'm laughing almost as hard as I was this morning when Te put a mental image of Batman saying, "OMG, Best Friends 4Evah!!!1!" in my head...
...and thinking about said mental image has set me off again. Well, I guess I didn't need that last cup of tea, anyway.

You know, I like Billy Joel. He's pretty cool. But I don't think I'd sing Billy Joel songs to my great grandchildren.
On the other hand, by the time I had grandchildren I might well be singing them Barnacle Bill the Sailor. Still. Billy Joel? "Rock-a-bye, little baby, they got a deep shag carpet and a couple of paintings from Sears..."

Always Anti-fascist!
I know. And I don't think the one she cited means what she thinks it means either.

Like I need a hole in my head
I have a question. A bit of a long question, so bear with me (also, I posted about this in my LJ, so if you read that, feel free to skip this), but I'm interested in opinions.
I recently read a fic that I really liked, by a person who I don't think likes me and my first impulse was to send feedback. But I hesitated because I wondered if this person would appreciate it, coming from me. And I don't want to stir up old, hard feelings or anything.
(Brief backstory: I'm a member of fandom_wank, and I know this person doesn't like f_w. I don't know if she doesn't like me *personally* - I don't even know if she knows who I am, but if she does identify me as a f_w member, chances are she doesn't like me.)
So, what do you all think? As writers, would you want feedback from someone you don't like? As readers, would you send feedback to someone you don't think likes you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of f_w, I just got read up in the Jordan Wood kerfuffle.
That was fun.
I'm all for the end by non-renewal of the species.

Hee! Aren't they the craziest crazies to ever do the crazy limbo under the crazy stick?
Man. I'm glad I live on the opposite coast.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
I wouldn't send any kind of criticism - constructive or otherwise - to someone I didn't get along with, just because of the possibility of misunderstandings & flame wars. But since it's positive feedback, I say go for it.
As a writer, I love getting feedback from anyone. (Though the few "OMG yuor fic is so kewl!!1!" ones took me somewhat aback.)
