My whole existence involves me spoiling myself.

Has anyone done pictures of dragons fucking KITT or Transformers in vehicle form?

I think she's a horrible writer, and plagiarism sucks. That being said, the reactions to her are so extreme compared to the things that she did that I've started having the urge to defend her. And I don't want that urge. But the rabid hate is getting old. I've yet to see evidence that she plagiarized in her published works, and even so plagiarism while a bad thing isn't something that deserves quite this level of hate.

I can see that. Although . . . among the people I've met who only wanted to write because of some fantasy of being A Writer were some of the most prolific writers I've come across.

It's just that they were prolific but horrible.

I suspect that there are a lot of people who really aren't writers who actually do produce a lot specifically because they don't have any kind of internal quality-control.

None of them could take criticism or improve, though.

I feel like that more often lately. Maybe I'm not keeping up with the cool kids.

Ooo, that's a good suggestion for OP! Wonder if that would work.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-03 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
that's p much the reason why a lot of people don't like the fandom

you'd think the movie was actually called 'the once-ler' and not 'the lorax'

if it was from her own HP fanfics, then why is she a plagiarist? Give credit to whom?

I'm not trolling. I just don't get it either.

So, awful teacher's assistant situation here. Three weeks, still awful (also I my pay is about $200 less than I expected).

BUT I was offered a job my a family member. I would be earning $600 more with MORE hours and like 100% less stress. But, they want me to start on the 14th. So if I give my notice tomorrow, it will only be a week notice.

I would also feel bad because the teacher is leaving for one or two months because of surgery and I would be leaving them like 5 days before he leaves. But I despise this job and honestly, have no control over the classroom.

Should I take this new job (which i will enjoy much better) and leave the teaching job in a lurch? And it one week's notice okay?

I haven't, but in some fandoms I like "modern day rewrites".

I bought myself starbucks today. I haven't had it in months. I usually just make regular coffee at home.

Blue Racer Snake/Coluber constrictor

[personal profile] cuteanimalpics 2013-10-03 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
  • These snakes are primarily found in the US, east of the Rocky Mountains, but they can range north into Canada, and South into Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize.
  • These snakes are diurnal and highly active.
  • Like all snakes, they are carnivores, subsisting on a diet of mostly rodents, frogs, toads and other snakes.
  • They are not actually constrictors.
  • These snakes are highly curious.

I think you misread what anon said. Her HP fanfics were full of punchlines, and sometimes entire paragraphs & even one several-page sequence, lifted from other works. She gave very few, very vague citations for this hot mess. She then based her original works off these non-original fanfics.

I'm sorry you had such a shitty time, OP. And... you really ought to speak to this friend of yours and make known your feelings got hurt. Maybe it will break the friendship! But it will not be your loss.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-03 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not. You see her books constantly and your tumblr friends talk about how awesome her books are, you'll snap, too.

Re: PSA to Pokemon fans

I don't think they can hit them with lawsuits. Fines maybe, and repercussions (like not allowing them to sell Nintendo stuff), but only if they can actually verify that the store broke street date. I imagine it's not that easy, either - here in Canada, independent/mom and pop stores do it way more often than, say, ann EB Games would.

The simultaneous release isn't even the problem - why do stores have the games over two weeks early? No wonder some stores broke street date...

I think I'm going to get pizza for dinner tonight.

Does that count?

I agree with everyone who's saying "go read the transcripts," but if you really want some way to not zone out on the actual podcast, have you tried listening while doing something else? I get super bored with most audio unless I'm either driving or doing a sudoku or actively eating dinner or something else low-brainpower. Paradoxially, it actually helps me focus more on the podcast than when I'm just sitting there listening.

Agreed. She seems pretty damn slimy, but ultimately she's far from the worst thing ever. If your view of fiction has been RUINED 4EVER!! by a scummy plagiarist being a scummy plagiarist, you're what is properly called oversensitive.
