Right, I'm in a lot of pain and discomfort now so the level of rage is increased by RL situations, but I've had it up to here with this utterly criminal habit of spitting on an author to compliment another. It's so imbecillic and immature that it makes me want to rip people apart with my bare hands... okay except I wouldn't really do it and couldn't even if I would the state I'm in. What kind of single-brain-cell thinking is that? It's impossible to love Botticelli unless you hate Raffaello? Can't one enjoy Mozart without hating Rossini? Should one laugh or think with Pratchett only after having puked on R. Rankin? What the fu...? Oh, and I can equally admire Mijan and Cassie Claire... Yep, no mean feat, that.
I know, I know, one should laugh at things like those. Laugh at the homophobes who insist reading slash just to flame it or at the slashers who spit on everything that's not hawt mensex. Those people are fundamentally flawed and not worthy even a moment of seething rage, even if they do irritate me. Better reserve my seething rage for the fanbrat mentality which decrees their idols must rejoyce in the putting down of people that the fanbrats have decided are their hated rivals. Is literature, fanfiction included, a one-on-one, mano a mano series of duels? How cretinous can people be? I'm a mediocre writer so luckily I don't have fans and so don't have to yell at them to stop insulting someone else to make me 'feel better'. How on Earth can insulting some other writer make me feel I write good stories? Oh RRRRRR... better stop this before I write something I regret. Don't want to crawl down to their level, after all.
On a quite unrelated note I've suddenly noticed - last night, sleeplessness has its uses - how much like Calvin Draco is. *GRIN* He just need a Hobbes, poor boy.
Fantastic, and NOW I'm in the grip of another pointless analysing which is fertile ground for plotbunnies, but no real plot and I'm still laboriously writing the ending of Anatomy... *SIGH* Sic transit focus scribae.
BTW my site is up again, it's a little thingy stark and simple with my poor fics and a GLORIOUS fic by Pat Phillips I wish more people would read because it's a gem of perfection. Here's the link to the fic: Time to Kill
