Grawr. Of Ents and Interspecies Sex.

ikyrianI can't believe I feel compelled to rant on this again. I can't believe I feel so compelled to write anything about this again. But, not only am I feeling rather insulted, but completely misunderstood. (Which not only begs the question, why am I trying to justify myself to you all, but why are you trying to justify yourself to me?) But dammit all to hell, I'm rather fed up.
Now listen very carefully as I'll only say this one more time:
What I originally put in my LJ was my initial. Immediate. Reaction. Ok? There was no deep hidden meaning to my entry, I was just reacting. If you're looking beyond that and seeing "disapproval," well I'm sorry to disappoint, I don't. In fact, the more I think about it, the less I care. The more I read about what you have to say the more you're leading me to not care.
Besides, what is the problem with everyone? Am I not allowed to my opinion? Am I not allowed to think that certain types of interspecies sex is disgusting? And when I do have these opinions, who do you all think you are to call me "willfully ignorant" or lacking in playfulness?
None of you have any idea as to my life or childhood. Don't go around tossing out names against people you don't even know.
And if you can honestly say that when you first came upon something so strange and you weren't squicked, then kudos to you.
Besides, am I not allowed to give a "review" which wasn't even really a review to be honest and have it be bad? Do you do this to everyone that says something negative about your work? I sincerely hope not, for their sakes. Sheesh. Learn to let certain things go, for crying out loud. Not everyone is going to like what you write, they're not going to care, they're not even going to want to educate themselves further. You're lucky I did want to see what the story was all about. But I'm beginning to wish I hadn't so then I could just delete everything and *not care*. Then I really would be willfully ignorant, but dammit, at least I would be happy. There are worse things in life then not reading a porn story. Worse things that I could ignore. Being squicked by inter-species sex is something that'll always happen to me, so I guess that just makes me human. We all have our vices, and I'm fine with that one being one of mine.
As to the questions about my age, why do you care? If you'd actually read my journal even a little, you'd realize that I'm in college. You'd also realize that I'm not in my first year and that I can be immature. So's my uncle and he's pushing fifty. Nor am I raging homicidal maniac planning to destroy the world. That's something I said to have people realize you don't know just who you could be pissing off. At this very moment I could be pissing off a raging homicidal maniac, and I wouldn't know. Boy, will I feel stupid if I ever get cornered one day with some strange person saying to me, "You didn't. Like. My. Story! DIIIIIEEEE!!!!" But, hey, that's life.
Now, I'm not going to waste anymore of my time on this subject. Case closed. I don't want to see anymore on it. See, this is called letting go. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
I have a paper to write, dammit.

Date: 2003-12-07 12:08 am (UTC)It's like a romance novel gone awry. Very, very awry.
Date: 2003-12-09 04:47 am (UTC)Two more points:
1. I hate fanfic. I think it's stupid and people need to think of their own damn shit. I find the disclaimer funny:
"These characters belong to J. R. R. Tolkien and I have no permission to use them. No revenue is generated by this dubious enterprise, which intends no disrespect."
First, Ent-slash-writer has no permission to use Tolkien's characters, and above all, not for ENT SLASH.
Because I'm sure Tolkien would feel no disrespect, he would LOVE that someone made one of his beloved Ents twig-fuck Legolas in the ass. Imagine the splinters. Oh yes.
2. Ent slash? Are you SERIOUS? It's not playful. It's just creepy. It just goes to show how fucked up people are, and how people are just so desperate to be eccentric [i.e. they want attention. You'd get attention if you wrote Ent slash.]
That is all.

Date: 2004-01-06 04:30 am (UTC)I read said Ent-slash story, was referred to aforementioned entry via said author and can actually say that I think she was a bit rude to you. So, erm, ahem.
I just kind of feel guilty for some reason, because I just want you to know that not all people associated with said author are as condescending, and that, you know, our fics aren't condescending either and--argh. This is hard to say.
Um...please don't hate us because we're still friends with her and because we also see where she was wrong in her comments. This is kind of a plea not to hate the rest of us lotrips-ers (heh) and you know, to take everything with a grain of well-deserved salt.
God, that sounds pathetic. Just.... If it means anything to you, I'm sorry you had to deal with all that mess.
