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.

Oh man, I saw this on my daily (ok, thrice daily) perusal of Fandom Wank, and was appalled. Screw being lazy, although she is. The thing I'm pissed about is that she could potentially make a lot of trouble for innocent ficcers like you and me who just love our fandoms and want to write about them for the pure fun of it. Bitch. And it really grates that, like you said, she cannot understand why people are mad or mocking her.

PS-I'm pretty drunk right now, so hopefully that made sense.

I know. I love her "goodbye cruel internets" post. And you know who she reminds me of in all this...you know!

It's just...so stupid. Especially with the Lee Goldbergs of the world trying to prove that those who write fanfiction are nothing but talentless hacks who steal others work.
