frood omg is teh best plant evar.


a few other things:

1. bah! seriously, though. the more i think about it, the more i get enraged about his behaviour. and this is nothing like the john noble thing, the attitudes of both the guest in question and the attendees is completely different. he's downright exploiting the fans attending. liek. GRR! even the other guests at the con in march were offended by his behaviour and planning to complain.

um, not that i'm planning on going to the next bobw (or any other they'll hold in future), but i'm still enraged on behalf of all the other fans being swindled by the organisers. i'm still composing my Letter Of Complaint.


2. is this for real? surely not. mary is convinced it's a troll, and i'm inclined to... incline in that direction too. it's just. SO outrageous. i was tempted before to post an extensive constructive crit in response to it, or even put it through some kind of translator in an attempt to try and understand it, but i've run out of steam and decided to follow my tried and true path with badfic: ignore it. it seems some people are enjoying it, and who am i to try and tell them that they shouldn't?, but i much prefer the other fic she posted in her lj:

Dominic fucked Elijah. Hard.
The End.

and the elijah in her icon looks like he's trying to lasso some meaning out of whatever the hell it is she's trying to say. meh. each to their own. still funny, though.


3. speaking of stories-i-have-problems-with, last night i was perusing the faculty-fic yahoogroup (which i haven't done in a while), and came across this story. which... disturbed me to some extent, and continued to disturb me in the fact that so many people seemed to enjoy it (including people i know and respect). it wasn't extremely poorly written or anything, and i know there's many many fics like it out there (and i have read a whole bunch of them), but maybe i'm just over-sensitised to it now, what with thinking about it a lot and studying the likes of it at university, ( but... )


4. must go off and call loose_your_dogs now, as we are all moving in together as of TOMORROW NIGHT. omg!

PS. why am i writing in a pseudo-early 1890s journal voice? perchance it comes from reading baranduin's delightful into the wood.

and eep! might not be on as much over this weekend, on account of possibly having difficulties setting up the 'net at the new place. fingers crossed we won't, but just in case.

dustsceawung - five things that never happened to sean bean by sheldrake

this is the best 'five things...' story that i've read so far. sheldrake is amazing. read this because you appreciate fantastic writing, not because you're a sean bean fan.
