111 - Alas, you can't be the judge of whether or not your own fic is bad. If people could do that of their own fics, we'd have even MORE tripe on the Internet, and more self-absorbed, pretentious tweenies with no way to shoot them down when someone points out their ellipsis abuse or missing commas. That said, I dislike FFnet's system of support and how they have gone willy-nilly deleting reported fics without checking into them. However, I do like their upload system, the C2s and forums, their new beta system, and the fact that they are the BIGGEST DAMN ARCHIVE ON THE 'NET. So I still post my stuff there, and I still get more reviews there than I do at any other archive (and I do post at lots). So I'm not running away. I'm with you. I do think gems can be found on FFnet, but someone usually has to point you to them. The likelihood of you just FINDING one while searching for your usual/favorite genres or fandoms or whatnot... slim to nil.

113 - I went to high school in the U.S. and our school lunch milk was always bagged. I HATED IT. You had to be some sort of expert with the pointy straw and stabbing it in exactly the right spot to avoid getting splorshed in the eye with a jet of icy milk. And I do mean ICY, because they'd keep these bags in the freezer, so sometimes you'd get milk with ice particles in it. Not fun. That's why I had soda almost every day. This was before the ban on sodas in schools, and of course, my teeth paid the price. Stupid bagged milk. Whatever happened to those cute stubby cartons? And why must they be environmentally unsound? Why not make little plastic bottles, like the gallon-sized ones, but smaller? ;_; GOT MILK!?

116 - HOMG THIS! I thought there was something "wrong" with me because I seemed to be an oddball in the freakin' fandom for liking Miaka! Everyone was all like "Ooh, poor Yui," but I saw Yui as someone who was gullible/easily manipulated, untrusting, sadistic, and cruel! Of course, both she AND Miaka changed, and that's what makes me respect them as characters, but people who just... typecast them (esp. Miaka) as whiny or food-crazy... there's more to her than that! She grows and changes, but you have to give her a chance and WATCH/READ!

126 - Wow Xena secrets are makin' a comeback! Or a come-on! Or something, but yay with Xena secrets!

142 - So you're willingly proving one of Freud's theories because... why? Seriously, why not just NOT say anything about some of your new fandoms for a while. See if anyone else brings it up first. Just enjoy it quietly, as a lurker, and then if something related comes up in fandom, drop a tiny hint. You don't have to SQUEE or anything. And seriously, if your friends DO mock what you enjoy, they're NOT friends.

145 - I couldn't see it because, even though the subject matter interests me, why don't they bother having a German accent, at least? I get that, in fanfiction, you're writing in a language particular to your audience; same with 'fic. But in prose, reading "dialectized" words is more difficult than hearing it. Why does it seem like actors (or perhaps screenwriters/directors/Hollywood in general?) is getting lazy whenever it comes to the little details that make a different setting so much more rich and vivid? I could never take Cruise as a Nazi seriously because he just looked and sounded like an American in a Nazi costume. If he'd had even the TINIEST accent in the movie...! *sigh*

147 - Um, having a Paypal account and accepting donations are NOT the same as making a profit. If someone does fanart and makes a print of it and SELLS it, yeah, I don't agree with that. It baffles me whenever I see Artist's Galleries at cons that allow that very thing. But if a talented artist garners a wide following, it may drive up site bandwith costs, or posting more art might require an upgraded account on some site (say, DeviantART). Those donations can help pay for it, and it's not like the people are "paying" and getting something in return (like a print or whatnot). The people probably aren't making a "profit" at all, because profit is what you get IN ADDITION to the cost of time and supplies needed to produce something or run a site. I doubt the donations any artist gets (even popular ones) is enough to truly "make a profit" off someone else's work.
