When asked at Galaxy Con Raleigh "If your PCs fought, who would win" and Laura, with no hesitation, says "Imogen would take it."

Hell Yeah.

just because i like something doesnt mean its good

genuinely do NOT want the world to see me because i don’t think that they’d understand

thoughts on Katy Perry/Justin Trudeau?

It genuinely doesn't even compute. It gives me a feeling of unreality. Lots of things nowadays make me feel like "we can't be living in the real world, this can't be happening" but this is by far the most lowest stakes thing that makes me feel that way

Blocked the ao3 ship poll account the second it came onto my dash like a curmudgeonly old person because I am, in fact, a curmudgeonly old person.

Joining the war on queerbait on the side of queerbait bc after a time you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical but is often true

Keep an eye on who agrees to this; with a cast this size there are going to be a lot of actors we're all going to be very unhappy with real soon

Jesus Christ just say you hate innocent people

No idea what prompted this, but sure, why not. I hate innocent people.

Oh my God people have book clubs reading books together and making commentary about the books all the time they do not put George RR Martin on the phone so he can hear their chats please please get over yourself

(Anon is responding to this post in which I talked about my complicated feelings about a discord book-clubbing a fic of mine without actually sharing any of their thoughts with me.)

Thank you, Anon, because this made me laugh and feels like an easy set up for rage bait, but in case you're serious:

I can actually understand why you might confuse me and George RR Martin -- we both have a writing pace longer than the average life cycle of the North American Cicada and it is dubious whether we will ever actually finish our series, but!

There is one notable difference between me and George: he is getting paid for his labor and I am not. There is no reason or incentive for me to post my work for others to read except for the joy of sharing it with a community and having that community share their joy with me (assuming they have any joy about my work, which you are absolutely correct in pointing out that I am not entitled to).

We may be violently agreeing with each other: no one is forcing me to post my work publicly. I don't have to do that. Likewise, no is forcing anyone to read my work or to comment on it. They don't have to do that.

However! The point is not that I am insatiably greedy for comments -- I have comments on my fic and I am so incredibly grateful for each and every one of them and for every person who took the time to engage with me!

But if the consumption of fic continues to be so divorced from the fic writers and their labor, then writers will stop posting their work for others to read because readers aren't commenting or showing they're engaged with the work, and then...we don't have fanfiction. Are you picking up what I'm putting down here?

Do you want ants no more fandom? Because this how you get ants no more fandom.

tfw "popular" fanon becomes so embedded in a fandom & discussions within fandom spaces that people just start treating it as the default and all interactions with others are coloured by this interpretation. have you considered that I actually don't subscribe to this take, which is nowhere in the source material? wait nvm, clearly not.
