And it's like: Okay, I'll defend your right to write it to the death, but...where's the merit in this? Especially if it's not written well? Where does it even approach art or literature to merit the "'art'istic license" argument?

It ultimately comes to...what the hell do I have in common with these people other than a love of the show and a hatred of the Truies? I could be chill with people if they wrote dark stuff but didn't write it as if it was supposed to be really hot and good and awesome, and there are a few that are cool, that I am friendly with, but most don't.

I just can't be friendly with people who write hurt and pain and bad stuff like it's supposed to be healthy, just like I can't be friendly with the self-righteous and sanctimonious.

And the sad thing is I would really, really like to be, because I'm not the sort of idiot that thinks the characters or real or that if someone shows one aspect of their personality that they're some sort of creepy weirdo.

But some people on both sides scare me a little. On the one because they're too quick to gather up the posse and string someone up for having a differing opinion, on the other because sometimes you really do wonder from how someone writes something if they might possibly think it's okay.

I really don't think it's as much of an absolute as I presented it in the secret, since that was more a venting thing, but it really does seem like everyone sometimes.

And nobody ever writes anything that actually captures both the fun and peril of the show, or if they do it's very hard to find. I don't profess to be a wonderful author myself, but at least I make the attempt.
