certain people attract it. *grin*

"it's nothing like dumb" When did "dumb" become a noun? But, hey, he/she/it started using punctuation finally.

It must be a day for bad feedback/email. And Lex, honey, you KNOW that you are flypaper for freaks.

Check this one out:

Hey Chelle!
I took it upon myself to wirte more of your fanfic 'I NEEF TO KNOW' you know the one about Anya and how she dealst with Joyces' funeral? Well, I made more of that story for you to poot it on your site and stuff. It's really real good and I think you'l like it. It's Xanders' feelings about it and how to deal with Anya and its a stream on unconsious for you.

Let me know of you want to read it.

Lorraina


I'm almost tempted to go ahead and tell her to send it. But then I actually *think* about it and figure there's no way in HELL that I deserve such extreme punishment ...

Poot? POOT?

ROTFL!

I can't believe the nerve of some people, though, to continue a story written by someone else without that person's permission. And if the fic is written anything like the note...gah!

I don't WANT to be flypaper for freaks, though. Remember that one day at DragonCon when 6,856,258 people came up to talk to me for no apparent reason?

'I NEEF TO KNOW'

What, exactly, did the characters 'neef' to know?

Well, I made more of that story for you to poot it

First of all, she MADE more? What did she make it out of? Library paste and some skittles? And it's for you to poot?

LMAO. L M F A O.

its a stream on unconsious for you

What, pray tell, is a 'stream of unconscious'?

Who is this person, Grace Fonseca's long lost sister?

She must have mailed this to tandl, because I got the same email. My thing was, first, did she realize the archive was B/A and only B/A? Second, did she not get the memo that the damn archive isn't accepting any more stories? Does she think we just archive stories for the hell of it?

And what made her think that we would take time out of our day to read her crappy ass story? She can't even take the time to punctuate in her own damn email. That drives me crazy.

People, there are things out there called periods and commas. They were not invented for the amusement of English teachers. They are there for a reason. Use them, dammit. Use them!

Mini rant done.

This is our B/A archive. With a O/S twist!

*rolling eyes* and Oz and SPIKE? Whatever. Remember when the goats only used to butcher hetfic?

And what made her think that we would take time out of our day to read her crappy ass story? She can't even take the time to punctuate in her own damn email.

Nothing like presenting yourself in the best light possible.

What the hell kind of response should I send her?

See, you're good. I'd ignore her. It's my standard response to just about anything. But since she did take the time out to mail us and all, I think the standard "Sorry, we're not accepting stories, but thanks for your interest" should get it done.

Why I have no website...

In one simple lesson. People like that scare me. Luckily, they don't usually bother to read my fic, since it's a) too long, and b) contains too many words that they do not understand. I realize that not all of us have BAs and MAs in English, but for heaven's sake this is just...ack...words fail me. Egregious? Yeah, definitely.
