An open letter to ficcers everywhere. Or just the ones on planet earth.

[effervescible]

Dear writers with skin like tissue paper,

A negative review that focuses solely on the fic is not a flame just because it comes from someone you dislike. No, really. No. Really.

kthxbye,

Me

Logic's taking some fierce blows tonight. >_

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Well duh. That's because Logic is gay. Can't you TOTALLY tell from the sideways glances it gives Common Sense?

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Logic broke up with Reason and no one told me?! WTF?!

::cries::

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I heard they have an open relationship, but Reason only went along with it to keep from losing Logic.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't be too surprised, I guess. I heard this rumor that Logic had naughty cybersex with Netiquette one night.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I heard that, too, but I don't know if I believe it. Netiquette has never really liked Logic.

[angstymcgoth.livejournal.com]

...that totally needs an icon.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Photoshop is like the ONLY good program not fucking me right now so maybe I'll try it in a bit. But if you're inspired, go for it :D

[angstymcgoth.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid your photoshopping skillz far outstrip mine ;_;

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not like I have any idea what it would look like. So we're probably pretty even.

Dear ficcers:

Get over yourselves.

- Rei.

No, really. *sighs* This is just sad. *joins the snark*

[buttercup0222.livejournal.com]

"Snarky" is now my new favorite word. Thanks!

[jaina.livejournal.com]

It's incredibly useful. See also: Word that describes Jaina 23 out of 24 hours of your average day.

[buttercup0222.livejournal.com]

You're snarky even when you're sleeping? Damn girl, that's pretty bad!

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I snark in my dreams sometimes.

[buttercup0222.livejournal.com]

I just wanted you to know that I have been listening to Sway obsessively, and singing along (badly). It's all your fault, damnit.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Yay! I adore that song.

[sarcasticval.livejournal.com]

And I introduced you to it, too. Go me.

(I is a glory hog, woooo!)

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Really? When was this? Not that I necessarily don't believe you, but it's everywhere. Just curious.

[sarcasticval.livejournal.com]

"Necessarily"? ^_~

Yeah, it was back in that fun "ooh, let's all incorporate each other's slang" phase of Freshman year. I actually picked it up from the Guiding Light forums back in my soap days--it was a code word that the actors would work in whenever the wanted to give the fans props. You know, when I say "snarky" I'm really saying "yo, fans!". Anyway, I used it from time to time and I recall you mentioning that you also thought it was of the cool, and thus your love was born.

"Necessarily"? ^_~

Hey, memories can sometimes be wrong, so I just keep an open mind. ^_^ Ah, the slang-sharing of college! Such fun it was. And baby, I'm glad I lost my snark-virginity to you. *rowr*

[sarcasticval.livejournal.com]

And you introduced me to net speak!

R0x0r!

[missandrony.livejournal.com]

That whole thing made my evening. This might be the most delightful thing since Sokudo Ningyou reviewed my fic. (Which, admittedly, was yesterday.)

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I love love LOVE how you are a flamer despite the fact that you focused only on the fic and your entire purpose was to write a bias-free review.

[uiggu.livejournal.com]

The whole thing just hurt my head so much. Angsty will testify to my RAGE.
