Brief updates from Sparrowland.

My job is a horrible hell of sucky suckitude and I loathe it with every fiber of my being. This is not so much an update as much as a continual state of existence, however I got royally shafted today, again, so I'm extra pissed off.

My kitty, my lovely huntress, went missing this morning and I don't think she's coming back. Seeing as she doesn't actually like me and all. Still, I have hope. I left the window open for her (after locking the other cat in the bedroom.)

I am ficcing again. Hilariously enough, what prompted me to get off my ass and write instead of just being lazy and playing video games was all the BS. (I'd link the third post, but I'm just now heading off to read it-- maybe it'll be better, who knows?)

Irony*, it is a tasty nom.


That is all for now, except DEAR FLIST: I READ YOU ALL EVERY DAY AND I LOVE YOU ALL AND I AM SORRY FOR NOT COMMENTING, LIKE, EVER. I suck I know.

*It may not actually be irony, my grasp on the concept is about as solid as Alanis Morriset's. I'm more a "pratfalls and sarcasm" girl.

I very much appreciated the insights into fan-fic fandom provided by many thoughtful people—especially galael [...] who puts the case for fan-fiction writers acting primarily out of love.

That particular aspect had _not_ in fact occurred to me—possibly because love is not real apparent in the examples of fan-fiction I’ve seen [...]


O_o

Way to do research on a thing before spouting off about it, lady! Honestly. Does she think we write fic to *make money* (in which case all the stuff about intellectual property rights and analogies to the music business might be relevant)? Ugh. I hate when people feel the need to express opinions on things they know nothing about, without at least posting some sort of disclaimer that, indeed, their knowledge of the subject is poor at best.

Also, yes, I'm pretty sure it is irony. My New Oxford American Dictionary: "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." A tasty nom, indeed.

>.> I'm not even going to read that BS because it sounds like if I do, I'll have to track her down and punch her into the sun.
