existential crisis!!!

[meretricula]

seriously, have you ever had a moment like you've suddenly realized you're in the Matrix? good god. I was reading all these really ancient and very detailed wank reports on Cassie Claire's circle back in the day and had the sudden horrific thought... what if I'm a troll too?

...you guys would tell me if I were a troll, right? I know I don't always remember to be nice. and I was kind of a bitch over the fbkink thing. and I say awful things sometimes without really thinking about it. and got told by a Canadian yesterday that I'm embarrassing to be seen with because I swear too much, so it's not even just an online thing.

but if I'm being awful please just tell me, okay? I don't want to be a troll.

fandom is scary sometimes.

(PS: good god cornerflag why must you be so difficult to write.)

I remember the msscribe drama! :-( I was pretty sad the way it all went down. I actually liked Dionne as a person. I definitely wasn't Close with any of them, you know the way the inner circle all seemed to be, but leaving fic entirely aside, Dionne's non-HP posts about her husband and daughters were both sweet and HILARIOUS. I am still sad they are all gone, and that she vanished from the internet; I would love to hear how everyone's doing.

But yes. Internet wankery.

And yes, thank GOD we do not have ship wars. If I do not want to read e.g. Pep/Andres or Puyol/Marchena fic (which, NO I DO NOT WANT TO, TYVM), I simply do not read it. There's no calling people "delusional", and then people getting upset for being called delusional when it's just a matter of textual interpretation, and aaargh. The Good Ship OBHWF indeed -- my boyfriend refers to it, actually, as OBHWTF. Which is on point.

(Sorry. I and everyone I know IRL believe that JKR, entirely without intending to, pretty clearly wrote a Harry/Hermione subtext into the first 4 books. But regardless! There was no reason for everyone, on EITHER side, to get so ANGRY about it!)
