Current Mood: awake

(no subject)

So popslash blew up overnight. I don't get it myself, hate threads seem to serve no purpose and if that makes me holier than thou so be it. I'll also hold my hands up to being fat, 30 and writing fiction about boybands who don't give a damn about me. Which really wounds me, because I was holding out for that fuck session with Chris next time I starved my kid, saved all my money and flew to a 15 minutes concert. I'm sorry though, I'll have to pass on being bi because I totally identify as straight. But wait! I have a sort of internet girlfriend.

castalie and I virtual kiss, with tongues even, so does that class as bi? ;)

I'm not going to deny anyone the right to an opinion, but I dislike the way it was done. I also feel bad for anyone named even though I suspect they're more than capable of brushing it off. I don't know, things like this make me feel edgy. I know fandom can be vicious, I'm not that naive, but at the same time seeing it showing its fangs like this is unsettling. Which makes me sound like a wuss I know *shrugs*

saturn92103 has started a thread too, so if you want to spread love not hate, go here

Anyone that got caught up in that mess *hugs*. Now I'm going to my fannish happy place, which yes is unrealistic. You know what though? That's how I like it. So I'll just be over there, looking at the pretty, anyone want to join me? I have cakes and pink lemonade. I'd offer alcohol but I have none unless you count the bottle of ouzo that could strip paint.

Moving on. I read my Choey! Which explains the no alcohol thing. I sat with a chilled drink and read for hours and it was bloody fantastic. Mysterious Ways is one of the best stories I've read for a long time. It made me cry, it made me laugh and it sucked me in and spat me out in the early hours of the morning, and you know what? I'm dying to do it all again. I loved it so much, and the Chris/Joey relationship was perfect. I'd read this even if you don't like Choey, it's just that good.

Briefly, my dad came to visit last night. In the space of an hour he told me I'd missed my grandad's birthday, grandad was getting worse and his own symptoms were getting worse too because his speech is starting to slur at times. He also brought a spinning top for Corey that he and his fiancée bought in Turkey. Sadly none of us can work it. It seems we don't have the touch to make it spin *g*

Okay, I'm off to read the flist. Somehow I think

digital_diva may have some pretty for me to look at.

I'm so predictable ;)

You really are, which is just how I like you :)

Oh, I am sorry.
You know what you should do? Get that ouzo, listen to the new Boys song and pretend they are not there, the mean people.

That's a very good idea, though I suspect if I tried that ouzo I'd forget about the mean people within seconds because I'd be drunk out of my mind *g*

However, the boys side is very doable.

And now I read up on it, because I have neither a live nor a boyfriend (unless that is officially the same thing now?) and therefore really need to look into this following Nsync everywhere subtitute product.

All this anonymous makes my head swirl.
The are commenting back and forth as if anyone was able to tell which two anonymouses are the same person.

Am appropriately ashamed of reminding you of the evil. *offers more ouzo*

*smooch* Did anyone tell you that you rock today? Beause you do.

The whole concept of a hate thread baffles me. There's things I don't like in fandom too, but I scroll on by and don't read.

*smooches you back*

Thank you.

either avoid, or say something, directly, with your own frelling name attatched - annonymous bitching is just -

*ignores*

*ignores some more*

- and isn't Mysterious Ways *excellent*? I want to print it out and re-read sitting in the park with a nice long cold drink, I think.

I like when you use scaper words :)

I agree with you, anonymous bitching is cowardly.

Mysterious Ways is awesome. I was sitting reading last night and despite it getting really late there was no way I could have gone to bed until it was finished. I loved everything about it, even when it was breaking my heart. I sent poor

pierson feedback that was nothing but me gushing, poor woman.

It really does need to be read in the park with a cold drink. I know it's first on my list to print when I get some ink.

I love you, man, I really, really do... ;p

*blush*

Well that's a comment that makes a girl happy ;)

Thank you, you rock too!

As does your icon which makes me laugh every time I see it

thanks! and I find it oddly appropriate, you know?

I'll also hold my hands up to being fat, 30 and writing fiction about boybands who don't give a damn about me.

*dies laughing* I wish I had thought of that, so that I could put it my bio or something. Hee!

Lol, thanks.

It's all so stupid, all these hate anon comments flying everywhere. I'm just keeping my head down and dreaming up ways to snare Chris, because I know he totally wants me ;)

can I just say that the love post annoys me almost as much as the hate post?

the intent is good but . . . . yeah.

either way I love you :)

*hugsnsmooches*

Yeah, neither should be needed really, but I figured I'd even the score and talk about both.

I hope my friends know that I love them anyway, because I do.

You know why I love you? Because you say what you think but in a respectful way, and many other reasons of course.

I love you too, hon.

*hugs you back*

adelate was telling me last night that the Choey was fabulous. I'm going to read it this weekend and see if it lives up to the hype. *g*

I loved it a whole lot, and there's some really good supporting characters, especially JC and Lance.

I hope you enjoy it.

That whole hate thread was just uncalled for. You KNOW I'll have much more to say about it in my own journal *giggles and slinks off to post rant of the day*.

Whoo Hoo! A Jacie rant!

*Watches flist*

LOL

I'm working on it. It'll be a doozy, too. Perhaps even a rant of epic propotions! :)

How fortuitous! My tongue is coated in paint, and it really needs to be cleaned off! :grabs ouzo and runs, but only as far as your yard:

Do I really need to know how you got paint on your tongue?

*runs after you to find out*

have i told you lately that you rock like a thing that rocks? you do. heh.

You have now *g*

Thank you, honey. I just believe you treat people how you would want to be treated yourself.

Like someone else close by *looks at you*

How are you feeling btw? A little better today I hope.

hehe just wanted you to know. that is a great rule to have.

i am ... feeling okay. still sore and stuff, but better than the day before =) so slowly but surely i'm working my way better. heh.

There are people all over my flist talking about the post, but I don't know where it is, and like it that way. If I knew, I'd feel compelled to read it, and then I'd get pissed off and/or upset, and really, that's not fun lol But I concur with what you said. Excpt for the bits about being 30 and starving my kid. And I'm not having a lesbian affair with Mouse. More's the pity *g*

**snuggles you**

I fell across it friendsfriends surfing late last night and knew this was going to break out. The sad thing is I did read it and by the end all I felt was disillusioned, and also sad that some people feel they have the right to name names and attack in the most personal way.

Man, lucky you being under 30, because once you're my age you're a sad freak for thinking you actually have a chance to score with a sdb. Because yeah, I had a date penciled in next year for when Chris and I fuck like monkeys under a moonlit sky ;)

You really should have an affair with Mouse too, she's good *eg*

*hugs you*

Charls and I were talking about it recently, about how the fnadom had been quite quiet and we were due for another something big, and here it is. oy.

lol and hey, you tell Chris after you've had him, he's gotta head on over to mine, 'cause I've got him booked for 2005, yes indeed. We're going to have a meaningful relationship, possibly ending tragically when he leaves me for Lance lol

lol I'll have to work on her, use my wily charms, she will crack before them *g*

I suppose every fandom has it's dramas, and this one is getting huge. Nearly 1000 comments and fandom wanked too.

That Chris, man, he's a tease. Going from me to you then onto Lance. The memories of our night of passion will have to keep me going I guess.

LOL, I think she will crack, and then we'll have a harem, which has to be good ;)

1000 comments? Fuck man. Why is there so much hate in the world Terri, why?! **wails**

Yes, well, anyway. Chris is a big old ho. (I can imagine him shouting out in his defence 'hey! Less of the old!' *g*). He's sex on legs and he knows it, flaunting his wares all over the place. Foof. (don't ask me, that's just a word I've developed in replacement of fuck. As in, something really impressive, instead of going fuuuuck, I go foof! lol).

Woo hoo! A harem! Who'd be the leader? I'm thinking probably Mouse, yes indeed.

G2G, Sian just got back from a mtg and we're leaving, off to Norfolk! Woot! lol

**smooches you, in the spirit of the harem**

I don't know. I was amused at some of the comments, the ones where people were joking. Like the ones about hating that one shoe at the side of the road. But comments have gone too far and become really personal.

LOL, I like your foof! Chris really is a big old ho, the thing is he and Lance would have to fight for the title of master ho and I'm not sure who'll win. Of course the 'fight' will be a poorly disguised reason to feel each other up, but I won't complain about that ;)

Mouse would totally be the leader, I bow before her at all times *g*

Enjoy your trip, I'll keep your space warm in the harem ;)

*smooches you*

I'm just staying well clear. canadiankracka posted a link, but I'm being strong and not looking lol It's just evil.

Foof is an excellent substitute lol I've been making up for it this weekend, Sian said to me last night 'Oh Becky, your language is awful!' lol and you should hear hers *g*

I'm not sure who'd win, but could I request mud and or jelly of some sort to be involved also? 'cause gropage is nice enough, but something slippy added to the mix and everybody's happy lol

Well she is our queen *g* and must be obeyed! I'll be rejoining the harem soon! lol

**smooches back**

Nearly 1000 comments

*jaw drops*

It was around 600 when I read it and that was *enough* for me. It's a shame these people are spending so much time and energy on a hate-thread.

The last time I looked it was at 1200 plus comments.

It's sad that some people have nothing better to do than spread hate like that.

Many people seem to think that 90% of the posts are from 6-10 people.

Yeah, I suspect the same.

To me there's too many of the same names. I can't believe that the same people are hated by so many people.

Since I'm one of those positive-type people who has to find the good in things, all I can say is, at least some people have found out who their friends are. And in some cases, who they aren't.

True. It's best to be positive. Because there's fic to write and pretty boys to lust after and that's always of the good. Who cares about the haters?!

Go forth, write, sparkle on!

Pop fandom is so weird. *sighs and pats friends list*

It is.

I still cling to my belief that there's more good than bad, and am glad that my friends list is mostly drama free.

Hi there sweetie, how are you doing today? *kisses passionately*

So it was the Sparkly fandom's turn yesterday? And it apparently did get out of hands, because I even heard about it on my flist, and not the sparkly side either.

because I was holding out for that fuck session with Chris

What? You mean it will be impossible? I... I can't believe it, I mean, I always thought it was whole purpose of slash in general, and the sparkly one in particular. Wow-- I'm a little shocked, I'm afraid, I think I'm going to have to process the news.

YAY! It's my false girlfriend that I have so I can say that I'm bi and feel important!

*kisses you*

It's totally out of hand, just under 1000 comments most of them hate comments. Not just generalised either but names. I'm in turns baffled that people would spend all this energy on hating like this and pissed because people who I like have been singled out.

I know! I was totally under the impression that I was going fuck Chris one day. I mean, it's why I'm a slasher, so I can have illusions that one day our eyes will meet across a crowded room, he'll rush over, tell me he's been waiting for me all my life and then we'll go and make sweet love as music plays and fireworks explode.

Bastards, smashing my hopes like that.

*cling* Thanks. *pout* I really, really, really shouldn't care. And i didn't at first. And now I want ouzo, even though a quarter inch of Bacardi knocks me on my ass.

Anyway. Thanks and love and stuff. Just thanks for being a good person, yes. Yes some more. And, here, I've strawberry lemonade slushies-- to share!

You're more than welcome.

That thread has became nothing but out and out personal mean attacks, and there's no need for that. I'm not stupid enough to think fandom is this happy rose coloured place, but I do think respect is important, and that's sadly lacking. To hide behind anon posts while being cruel is all kinds of wrong.

I hate that you and other people were singled out in that way. So we'll share pink lemonade slushies and ignore them all.

*hugs you again* I know it's hard, but don't let them get you down.

heh. we're gonna write a badfic. really bad. i'll put a warning on it, so y'all don't read it. *G*

Lol, good plan *g*
