Thanks, Dana. LJ is being tetchy. I finally gave up trying to post a reply in Dani's journal, because LJ was just not playing well with others.

Okay, popcorn? Check. Root beer? Check. Wank ahoy.

Yeah, I just found the wank, and now LJ won't let me read it.

I could summarize.

"Whine whine OMG it's so awful that I have all of this great fic to read because people get too many comments and all of you people who leave comments on good fic are just SHEEP."

And to summarize her responses to the comments:

"Shut up, I wasn't talking about BNFs even though I listed ten names in my post."

Damn. They're always fic BNFs. I feel like a dying breed.

Want us to start an Allyson wank?

(there's no way to make that not sound dirty-- sorry)

ION, Hey, it's Friday! Maybe I won't blow up the world quite yet.

What are people doing this weekend?

oops

Also, HUGE wank over in SPN fandom. Did you know BNFs are terrible people and you shouldn't comment on their stories?'

Oh, as usual, dear. She's got some good points (like venturing out of one's comfort zone), but... lord.

ita, I like the sound of your outfit.

Sigh. What. Ever.

Hey! It leads to shit I didn't say! Because she's apparently Young, and I Can't Be Bothered.

Bitch, don't tell me I should "go outside my comfort zone."

Going outside my comfort zone leads to reading badfic and twitching. My comfort zone exists for a reason. Some parts of that comfort zone are BNFs, some are SNFs, most are MNFs. I like my comfort zone. Most people do. Part of being in a community is knowing which neighbors you borrow sugar from, and which ones you politely avoid.

So grow the fuck up and get over yourself, because guess what, sweetheart? It's not about you.

Oh, as usual, dear. She's got some good points (like venturing out of one's comfort zone), but... lord.

I don't think that's a good point. For starters, she doesn't know IF we're venturing out of it (I do make the occasional effort, but under Controlled Circumstances) and hitting the back button, and second... comfort zones exist for a reason.

At least mine does.

ETA, that came off cranky. Sorry. I'm just protective of my CZ.

I like the part where, of the BNFs mentioned, I only know three of them by name (and only one is on my flist).

...I'm not as in that fandom as I think I am, am I? Or, I'm in the nice, small, sane corner of it.

"Whine whine OMG it's so awful that I have all of this great fic to read because people get too many comments and all of you people who leave comments on good fic are just SHEEP."

Kids these days. They keep buying diamond shoes a half-size too small and then insist on telling everyone how much they pinch.

My comfort zone exists for a reason.

Yes, but your CZ is much broader than mine is. I'll fully cop to being lazy and mostly reading whatever you/Consuela/Dana/shrift rec. I won't venture outside of my CZ for things like RPS or 'cest without a very solid rec, and I'm cool with that. But, say, the (HILARIOUS) Truck!Preg fic? I would never have read that without you reccing it, because my CZ includes not reading any preg stories.

So, maybe I should wander off my beaten path a little and find other stories that I never thought I'd enjoy.

Does that make sense?

...I'm not as in that fandom as I think I am, am I? Or, I'm in the nice, small, sane corner of it.
