grrr...argh...

So many people have already written on the whole wank regarding a certain fanfiction writer looking for hand-outs to continue her writing. I'm just...floored. Like wow. Can I be a kept fanperson? Will someone out there pay me lots of money because work is just so workish? And while we're at it, are there a few of you on my fanlist that I can hire (at no charge to me, of course, because it's like an honor) to wave huge feathers over me while I eat grapes and watch my TIVO? Oh, and maybe if you can refer to me as "the greatest fanfic writer ever" at all times...

Also, I don't know if she's actually interacted with any professional writers before, but most of the writers I know have other jobs as well for a very long time. The chances of being a JK Rowling are quite slim, especially on the first time out...so what's the plan then? "Sorry, Mr. Publisher, sir, but I can't be expected to write and do other stuff."

And bullshit about disabilities? Girl, please, I know people with real disabilities who work full-time jobs, going to school, and doing writing. Unless stupid is a disability, I don't think it qualifies.

The gall and...I'm just making myself angry thinking about it.

But for real y'all...if you want me to be your kept fanperson...just ply me with slushies and soft pretzels and I'm yours!

Have I mentioned the utter love I have for Entourage? What about 4400? Still haven't watched QAF because it will sadden me that it's really over. I'm not good with that sort of thing - sure, it's fictional, but I'm mental.

she took the post away, but all the comments remain...and then in the next post there is her "farewell fandom, you bitches who judged me unfairly" post.

Ahahahaha. Ah people, you think you can sponge off the internet but alas, karma bites back.

I'm personally fond of the fandomwank title "Can't we just buy you and I-Pod?" Hee.

Really, I think I go about fandom the wrong way. I've never offered up my wishlist (outside begging for ficlets and graphics) or asked for money. I should work on that.

It is a rather nifty title. Kudos to whoever came up with that. LOL. Yes, surely fandom can reap you something greater than feedback! Alas I cannot give you more than my <3333333333333! Would you be willing to settle for general worship instead?

General worship is nowhere near as cool as a slushie or Ipod, but I guess it will have to do:p

LOL. I can't get you an ipod but how about a knitted ipod cover? Assuming you even have one.
