I mean... there was always crap in amounts vastly overwhelming the good stuff.

There's a huge difference between getting to *watch* a guy and having to *deal with* a guy. Or having to live in the world that they influence.

Re: What kind of people do you trust and/or alternatively not trust?

[(Anonymous)]

I trust people who relog all of their likes 100% with my life.

Been listening to this a lot recently. Wish I'd realised how goddamn hot Damon Albarn was back when I was listening to this on my teens. Also, how did I never realise this was about being bi?

Blur - Girls and boys

Also been listening to Boney M - Rasputin because it's one of the greatest songs ever.

Re: Which poets do you like and/or dislike?

[(Anonymous)]

Carl Orff didn't write those lyrics, the texts of the Carmina Burana are hundreds of years old.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. That's why I said 'with variable results'. I mean you gotta start somewhere, but still I remember everyone in my little junior fan comm back in the day forming writers circles and basically trying to improve at every turn.

Re: What kind of people do you trust and/or alternatively not trust?

[(Anonymous)]

I can no longer trust celebrities who base their public persona on being kind of an asshole. I've been a fan of too many people for whom that turned out not to be a persona at all.

Same with non-celebrities, actually. Your "sick burns" aren't clever or funny, you're just a dick.

Question for UK FSers

[(Anonymous)]

Has anyone tried the lateral flow tests yet?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah it's good

[(Anonymous)]

Excellent timing imo

Dragons *in dragon form* are not hot

Re: Which poets do you like and/or dislike?

[(Anonymous)]

*shrugs* Whoever wrote it was having a bad day.

Oh yeah hang on, I remember now. Wasn't the whole of the Carmina Burma based on texts they found in a monestery or something?

[(Anonymous)]

Very true. I'm not likely to listen to a critique from a random internet stranger who I don't know or trust, and whose tastes and preferences may be completely divergent from my own. I would seek out concrit from fandom friends (if I had any) and from other writers whose work I know I enjoy.

[(Anonymous)]

Smug makes for terrible art and always has done, because smugness almost always leads to complacency and then mediocrity in short order.

[(Anonymous)]

But fandom is so much bigger nowadays, with so many more people participating at varying levels of commitment. Can't really say with certainty that there aren't still groups out here trying to improve. Just as you can't really say that people in fandom used to care more and just didn't manage to achieve good results... a lot of the bad fic posted ten, twenty years ago had just as little care and effort behind them.

70s Donald Sutherland, 80s Birt Reynolds

Re: What kind of people do you trust and/or alternatively not trust?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I don't trust middle aged white guys who bleat about being a feminist ally a lot, that's for sure.

[(Anonymous)]

OP the day the news broke: well fuck

[(Anonymous)]

I very much doubt they cared. They were probably spiteful!anon.

[(Anonymous)]

What if I don't find it hot because I don't like people involved

[(Anonymous)]

I don't mean "well fuck" in the they really cared sense, but in the sense they realized what would happen with the secret

[(Anonymous)]

Possibly. Again I doubt they cared.

Re: Question for UK FSers

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, why?

[(Anonymous)]

Being overly critical of your own work, which many artists are, also can lead to terrible art ala burnout. Far more artists hate on themselves here in the digital age than act smug about it; I see way too many people beating themselves up for not being good enough. Life is too short to over burden oneself with the fear of 'mediocrity', a theme that in itself is too subjective to bring others down with.
