Always Anti-fascist!

Well, I don't know if writers owe their publics anything, Barb, but I did kind of find Stephenie Meyers post-leak flounceoff kind of ungracious...I don't know how I'd feel about it if I were a fan though; maybe it stuck in my mind cause I think she's a hack. Because I was all "Bitch, you won the lottery...SYFPH!"

I have my fill, thank you.

A puppy, though ... that we could talk about.

I've got spare bedrooms and a mattress...but he might get bored with home improvements. Hope the night improves.

I am just mad so every thing bugs. If I can lose the anger soon, I think I'll have to start some martial art or fight class type thing again, when I have no idea.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

msbelle - how about a trade?

“Not dead yet!”

Well, I don't know if writers owe their publics anything, Barb, but I did kind of find Stephenie Meyers post-leak flounceoff kind of ungracious...

Well, that was just ridic, in my opinion. I don't blame her for being hacked that someone leaked her preciousssss, but the public flounce-off was just ridiculously unprofessional and high school drama queen.

That post, however, smacked of, "And while you're at it, get down on your knees and blow me with a smile on your face."

To paraphrase the divine Gaiman, "a writer ain't your bitch."

And the part about how having a fan rewrite your novel is the height of flattery just made me want to grind my teeth. Fan-fiction is one thing-- groovy, rock on, I just don't need to see it, for a variety of reasons, some of which are legal. But rewriting? NSM with the flattery.

msbelle, you have my ear should you need it.
