Comments

[arcadiaego]

Maybe they have some problems going on in their life at the moment or they're just very shy/anxious? I get annoyed by bad guests but your account makes me think of someone I knew that behaved like that because she was depressed.

[arcadiaego]

Plenty of people have accused me of not trying enough when I have been. The OP sounds like they made a big effort though.

[arcadiaego]

The Great Gatsby was widely deemed the downfall of Fitzgerald's career.

[arcadiaego]

Cassie Claire is not the be all and end all of writing, any more than Marie Corelli was in her day. And your English professors sound pretty poor, sorry.

Re: sexuality without labels

[forgottenjester]

Yaaaaaay~ One! One other person laughs at my jokes! I am moving up in the world.

Re: Watch it in ASL

Dude, thank you. I'm Deaf and you're my hero.

[(Anonymous)]

there's a difference between dialects and/or variants (includes special vocabulary) and accents (phonetic differences only)

[(Anonymous)]

Damn, that cleavage. So now I'm attracted to CC.

Re: sexuality without labels

[(Anonymous)]

I don't currently have sex with other people, but I've done so before. I like all manner of bodies and genitalia and have had sex with many combinations of them. Currently I look at a lot of weird porn on the internet. Sometimes I fap and I usually employ rape fantasies when doing so.

[(Anonymous)]

This!

[dinogrrl]

I said in another comment elsewhere, but where I live, if someone invites you somewhere, they're the ones who pay for everything. It can be seen as insulting if you offer to help with a bill--you're insinuating that they're poor hosts. No way to know if that's what the OP's friend had in mind or if they were just being a cheap jerk though.

That being said, yeah, I agree that every effort should be made to be polite to your host no matter what.

[dinogrrl]

Again, depends on what the local culture is. Where I am, asking to help pay for things can be interpreted as an insult to the host. I do agree that a 'gift' of some sort, especially during an extended stay, would be a nice gesture though.

[maverickz3r0]

I have two episodes of it DVRed, better catch up then. I'm glad of it though, it's pretty good.

Re: Blue Racer Snake/Coluber constrictor

[maverickz3r0]

Oh my gosh, these are so damn pretty. Snaaaakes. ♥

Re: How many writers do we have here anyway?

[maverickz3r0]

I write fic, fairly often nowadays. I do have notes here and there on an original novel too.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry I wasn't in yesterday to comment anon, but I'm totally with you. I hate magic anons and I ignore any I get. I hate how it turns an ask blog into an OOC piece of crap.

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't mind these kinda of magic anons. My ask blog gets stupid shit like "you are a dog for 15 asks" wtf no

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and Moby Dick's critical reception was disastrous, The Bell Jar was ignored, and all that proves...what, exactly? On the other hand, Don Quixote was popular enough in its day to inspire fanfic, New Yorkers waited on the docks to get their hands on the latest installments of Dickens's novels, and Pride and Prejudice, Adam Bede, The Grapes of Wrath, A Farewell to Arms, Catch-22 and Their Eyes Were Watching God were critical and popular successes.

A distressing number of people have this idea that truly great writing always languishes in obscurity in the author's lifetime because only a few people can appreciate its greatness, while stuff that's popular is all on the level of The DaVinci Code and Twilight. Nope.

[arcadiaego]

That doesn't actually make the comment I was replying to factually correct though.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, no, since that comment is so poorly worded it's hard to tell what the writer was getting at, let alone whether it's correct. But what I took from it was that if only authors who achieved recognition in their lifetime were considered great, our body of "great literature" would actually be a body of shitty literature--presumably because, as I said, the commenter is one of those people who thinks that popular = shit, and that true greatness is only ever recognized after one is dead.

They're wrong. If only books that were popular in their day ever enjoyed the status of "classics" or "greats," we'd lose out on many books that deserved that status. But we'd still have, at a guess, about 2/3 of our current body of "canon" works.

[(Anonymous)]

Alright, let's put it this way:

Saying that you don't have much of a right to call yourself a writer if you never finish anything ever is not presuming to be "the emminece on who is or isn't a writer," or some sort of Writer God. That's because finishing something, sometimes is such a pathetically low place to set the bar. How the fuck do you call yourself a writer if you never finish your work? Answer me that.

Also, there's no such word as "emminece." Were you trying to say "eminence"? How cute.

[(Anonymous)]

One of my writing workshops was conducted by a professor who ridiculed a student for bringing the beginning of a fantasy novel to class, and announced that we were not in his workshop to learn to write [insert sneer of distaste] genre fiction. Only Literary short stories were allowed. I smile whenever I see his two slender volumes of indisputably Literary fiction which nobody ever reads.

Re: How are you currently spoiling yourself? (Nonfandom, food, drink.)

[(Anonymous)]

You might be right, at that.

If only it didn't exfoliate my skin down to all the ugly blackheads and bumps.

Re: Please!

[(Anonymous)]

As a writer, the big deal is someone else using your words and claiming them as her own by her incredibly vague disclaimers, and getting credit for them. That's lazy, and it's the antithesis of being a writer. She's a cheater who wanted the feedback and shit without putting the effort into it.

I don't hate her because I don't know her personally but as an author with a published book under her belt, it's not something I'm just gonna give a pass on.

[rbhudson]

Feels great. How does it feel to hide behind an anonymous comment, honey?
