sometimes i really hate people

popping in just for a sec (replies to other entry comments are forthcoming! i promise!) because i needed someone to complain to.

this review from ff.net just popped up in my inbox on a fic that i completed over four years ago. it's totally marked complete. and it was a collection of vignettes, anyways, so it wasn't like there was more of a plot that was needed.


When are you going to update? Honestly? There are people waiting, you know.
It's been ages too. So...why not update?


obviously i'm not going to dignify this with a response, but the entitlement here just makes me want to throttle someone.

seriously now?

LOL. It's even a completed fic, lol.

People, I swear. I can't even sometimes.

YES. BECAUSE I LIVE TO SERVE AND JUST WRITE WHENEVER, 24/7, JUST FOR YOU. SLAVE TO MY KEYBOARD FOR YOU.

Let it be as water off a duck's back, sweetie. Not worth ruffling your feathers over. There are those who will always try to run your life. Best response: "Pfffffffft!"

Lame. Seriously.
I recently had someone bitch at me pretty hard core for not responding to reviews on an archive site frequently enough...on a story I've posted a new chapter for nearly every day for two weeks. I saw red and will admit that I was not above responding. I'm always a little bewildered by people who think they are owed so very much.
I just read that Gaiman post and it was awesomeness!

don't you know you exist to write fic for other people's satisfaction?

GEEZ, Lauren. What were you thinking? Ugh.

That's pretty aggravating. "People are waiting" to have a desk thrown at their head. (Apologies if that was too violent! If it was, consider it a metaphorical desk!)

Whenever I get FF.n reviews I laugh and laugh at the realization that people still read the crap I wrote in high school. I laugh even harder at the people who set up author or story alerts for my stuff. Like, I haven't posted anything there in at least five years. Buy a clue.

Some people are just rude and stupid and not worth your time.

LOL entitlementcakes.



Because fan fic writers clearly exist to serve your every whim and need.
