dexfarkinI'm very ill, which is always the catalyst for stupid posts. Bear with me.
My mother has basically disowned me, because I haven't called in my 80 hour week. Justified, but at the same point, I feel the fires of injustice there. Do I beg for forgiveness or hold to personal respect? I'm not sure which is worth me. Let's be honest, my step-father has suffered major surgery and my cousin is in the burn unit. Part of me says the bigger man eats crow and takes the abuse by calling and abasing myself. Is self-respect worth more?
What else?
I find a hatred for fanfic politics, mostly due to lack of respect. That, and a total dislocation from fanfiction. I feel bad, but since my time puts me outside of the normal range of conversion, I feel very dislocated. Do I still have a place in this communiety? Or is it time to pass all elements on to a proper sucessor and stay alway from from the newbies? Lot's of questions today.
Let's see the answers

Date: 2002-11-27 10:00 am (UTC)2. Fanfic has politics? Bwah ha ha! Okay. All kidding aside, yes I'm aware of the agenda-driven bullshit. The whining. The cry of 'elitist' that rises up whenever Someone Is Unfair To Newbies. Come on... this is the eternal cycle. It's been going on forever. And it will continue. I never got involved in it myself so I can't really say that being involved is the thing to do or not to do.
But, you know, if something is pissing you off, step back. That's the only real advice I can give.
Oh. And drink lots of fluids. Hope you feel better, man.
BTW... was that you I saw posting at TelevisionWithoutPity on the "Life with Bonnie" forum? Because if it was... I don't know HOW to react!
