Bilious

[louiselux]

Has anyone else ever had the overwhelmingly strong urge to send a reply to a fic published on list, that says: 'Your story was beyond shit. I was torn between bouts of laughter and cringing because it was so bad. I hated it with a passion. What were you thinking when you wrote it? Yours, appalled of Tunbridge Wells.'

Humpf. Sorry. Had to get that out of my system after a persusal of today's list mail. I would never really write something so uncharitable to a person, but sometimes, well, sometimes I want to. There!

It's not helped by my feeling like I've eaten Satan's breakfast, dinner and tea for the last week. I am a martyr to my bowels.

I sometimes have to restrain myself from writing exactly that. I keep telling myself it wouldn't help, but there are days when I'm not sure - it might help me.

Oh, yes. But usually end up deleting rather than wasting my time on what other members of the list seem to think is the second coming of Christ.

(sends soothing tummy thoughts) Tried cammomile ? Good for digestive upsets.

Mmmm, soothing tummy thoughts. I am sipping peppermint tea even as I write this. Thanks for the tip chuck.

I usually don't get far enough into bad fiction anymore to have a really good 'this is total crap!' reaction; the fascination of bad fiction has worn thin for me, but I empathize with the desire to speak plainly and call a poorly written nightmare something a hair more colorful than that.

I also empathize with having eaten at satan's table for the past week. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks. *g* I am on the rice cakes and water fun diet today, and it seems to be working.

Good, I'm glad that it's a bit better. I am on the turkey sandwich diet at the moment, so big hugs from me.

[emrinalexander.livejournal.com]

Yes.

And someday I am going to burst through my halo of goodness and email exactly those words you wrote, except I will be "Weeping blood in Pennsylvania," or something like that.

Though less so than formerly, for now I am sort of Zen Fen, and I delete certain people's stories on seeing their name alone. I've got to be very good at that in HP. Still learning who to avoid in Smallville fic.
