fans

[spankerella]

I love my fans. You guys are great. Seriously. I am very lucky, VERY lucky, to have the fanbase I have. There are few people who I know who have such loyal and fabid (made-up word, combination fabulous and rabid) fans. It's great. Scary at times, but no less great. Some of the greatest things ever are a bit frightening.

But...

Sometimes, just sometimes, a few small few of you don't have your brains connected to your bodies. It's ok though. Happens to me too. The problem here is that when this happens to this very few group of you, you say some things to me that are downright insensitive. And it makes me question, for even two seconds, why I put up with it. It makes me, in those two seconds, long for the day when I will no longer write fanfiction because in those two seconds it's not fun. I hate it, and I'm a bit angry with you for not considering that I might have feelings. I should not complain though. This doesn't happen often anymore, all trolls aside. I don't pay attention to my constant detractors, however I do wonder why they keep reading just about everything by someone whose writing they obviously despise.

I just wish sometime the people who do this insensitive stuff would think for a damn minute before they speak. Or type in this case. I know that's a futile hope of mine, but I'm a bit known for hoping in futility. Maybe I'm just cranky and overly sensitive because I'm just coming off of being pretty sick.

eta: madannekidd, thank you.

Sorry that your week seems to already be off to a bad start. =(

It's not that it's bad, per se. It's just one of those things where you look at what was written and wonder what the f*** was going through this person's mind, if anything, when they typed it out. It's not bad. Just sorta frustrating and cranky-making.

Wasn't me, I'm assuming. Only thing I did today was beg you to write Faith doing Oz. *snicker*

By the way - the other half of your prezzie is shipping today, so I assume you'll get it within the next 5-7 days or so. Had to abbreviate your last name since I couldn't remember how to spell it. *blush*

No, I don't get mad about that stuff. LOL.

And more prezzies? Score.

*blink* Faith doing Oz? Now I bet that would be a sight to see.

Echo, asshats happen. I'm sorry they always seem to happen to you.

Also, love your new header.

[Ruby slippers! I thought I remembered you saying you liked the Wizard of Oz]

I just adore you icon. Make me grin like a fool everytime I see it.

[houses7177.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Makes me grin rather too.

Point me in a direction and I'll issue smackdowns on your behalf so you can focus on feeling better.

I can't smack some of my (more) idiotic customers, so I need to channel this frustration somewhere....

Sorry some evil idiots are being obnoxious. The rest of us still worship you :)
In any case, a recent post on a comm I watch had an icon I think you might appreciate.
