Cranky Pants = ON and Fic Appreciation Week (Day Three)

[spankerella]

OK i am e-mailing you because i am very angry I NEED THE NEXT PART OF CHASE MALFOY PPPPPPPPLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! i have been waiting for months!!!

I really wasn't in the mood for this sort of BS today. Because though she is doing a HEAP better, my mother still has cancer, ladies and gents. She still gets hella tired, and I am still running this household, so I said...

Boy, did you pick the wrong day to pull this crap. So not amused here. I OFFICIALLY DO NOT CARE HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mother has come home sick today. She's feeling tired and worn too. Did you know she has cancer? Did you know I am her caretaker? I give exactly TWO SHITS about what YOU need today. My concern right now is her. My concern is keeping my own sanity. Thank you for mailing.

Bite me,

I know people don't know this stuff about my personal life. I know a lot of them don't care, but I am not in the mood to coddle people today just because they're in a bad mood. Fuck that. I'm in a bad mood too, and today MY bad mood takes first chair. Maybe that's unreasonale and maybe I'll feel bad about this tomorrow, but today I don't care.

Well, now that that's aside and I officially ranted all my poison out today, let's see who needs to be pointed at for fic appreciation.

I say Karen. msgordo. She is the amazing author who shares the same thought process as I do. Her gifts include Dawn/Connor fic, and some amazing Draco/Ginny moments, as well as some stunning Blaise/Luna lately. This would be the point where I toss up links to what I lovingly call her "Camp Here Freak" series, but she took them down to rewrite and fix plot holes. So until then you'll just need to read...

Bad Boys Do It Better, Destroyer of Dark Hearts, De-nied!, and it's prequel Access Granted.

Keep yourself up to date on Karen's fics by joining her mailing list.

eta: This is also the same Karen who's collaborating on The Savior with me. Told you we thought alike. It's VERY rare I can actually write with someone.

I read this post yesterday and I can NOT believe the absolute GALL some people have. I mean, my GOD. Echo, hunny, you've been a writing machine lately. I have to bow to you. What you can turn out in a one-shot in a couple of days blows away anything I write and spend a month on.

Muses are fickle things - and one can never tell where they'll wander off to. Mine's currently buzzing around my Smallville DVD's with an evil leer, which is frustrating because I already have 3 fics from other 'verses that she won't give the time of day. So you're doing one shots - pbbhhttt.... It's Echo-fic which means it's ALLLLL good.

And if that isn't good enough for that one idiot in eleven that emails you.... send em back the finger. You've got enough on your plate, fic and real life, to let some arrogant, selfish, childish, and obviously not-housebroken lil prat spoil your mood.

BTW - I've now developed an affection for the term "asshat" thanks to you... which has left more than one person speechless when I've used it in public. Thank you.
