I keep hoping I'll get over the urge to shout at people when they link to the site, but I talk myself down every time. It's disproportionately stressful, though.
I've just accepted that it'll never happen. Best I can do it bite my tongue and seethe on the inside.
It's a shame, really, because of course it comes up all the time for us, and of course it's useful and a neat thing because it was our idea. And our work. (Okay, not mine personally, but us ours.) And its very continued existence relies on the continued work by someone who claimed not to have a continued existence. So it stays infuriating.
I saw it linked by a librarian who runs a great blog (booksheleves of doom), and I cringed.
I'm pretty sure I first came here after that other site had already been created but it still gives me the motts when I see it mentioned.
Dude, I sometimes wanna scream it to the fandom wank winds.
I am SO relieved it's not just me.
I don't mind TV Tropes at all. TV Tropes and Gus's Gusness here are two separate things.
What Polter says. It hardly seems worth the grief and angst people are holding onto.
Except the grief and the angst represent real hurt feelings.
