The state flag, located directly outside our office window, is displaying horizontal tendencies not seen since the last set of astronauts left a stars and bars on the Moon. The sky - and, indeed, everything else - is the same shade of grey as our computers and furniture. And the snow has started, cold and vicious-looking. The effect of the whole business is, to quote that famous passage by the Bard of Avon, "Reallye fucking depressinge. We shalle freeze our asses offe."

I sit at my desk snarfing Jolly Rancher Cherry suckers and trying not to whine out loud. *whine.* Oh sorry.

It's money well-spent to be spared a lifetime of making mailing list posts like, "omigod, I saw this picture of Orli and Viggo and Lij-Lij and Lil' Pumpkin-poosie at the Country Music Awards and they were like touching each other and stuff and that means they're like SO TOTALLY DOING IT IN REAL LIFE! *SQUEEEEEEE!*"

Not that I have anything at all against imaginary celebrity sex romps, you understand, but let's keep that sense of the inherently ludicrous *firmly* in place before we embark on the path where madness lies.

Lij-Lij and Lil' Pumpkin-poosie?

Y'know, sometimes I'll hear some dame refer to a performer (with whom, if there is a just and loving God, she has never had the slightest contact) as "Billy" or "Nije" or whatever, and I have a near-uncontrollable urge to punch her in the mouth, just as hard as ever I can.

Is that wrong?

I can't answer that question because I'm still scratching my head as to how the perfectly amenable, if trying-too-hard, names "Orlando" and "Elijah" are magically and collectively transmuted to "Orli" and "Lij." The people in *my* imaginary sex romps may in fact lose every last shred of their dignity, but I graciously permit them not to have completely moronic nicknames...

No, I was never on the list. Several of the members, and there has never been a more appropriate term, joined the Church of X and were amusingly irate when the High Priestess posted a rant about DD/GA on the Church site (http://www.smartania.com/churchofx/main.html - go to 'Podium' and look for 'Blurring Fantasy and Reality,' 'cause it's set up so I can't direct-link). Wacky hijinks ensued.

(I wonder how thin this reply will be.)

Dear Lord. I just read this. I hadn't previously seen it.

I love the rant, but some of the replies made me ill. One in particular.

Paraphrasing: "We knew what we were doing was bad, so we hid it away from you all! It's a risk we take!"

And that justifies it HOW??? And if you're willing to take the risk that people will not like what you're doing, then you don't get to pull the "Oh, I'm CRYING 'cuz you're so MEAN to me!" card!!!!

Morons. Psycho morons, but morons nonetheless.
From one of the replies: I write David/Gillian fanfiction. Ok, now make a snap judgement about me.

Oooh, I'll be happy to. You're confrontational. Also, from things you previously said about what you write, you clearly care more about your own pleasure than about other people's feelings.

Whereas the people who are "unfairly insulting you" are worried about the feelings of the people you're hurting more than yours, because they're the innocent victims and you're the bad, evil nasty person. Your argument about the rant doing exactly what you do doesn't hold water.
We pour our hearts and souls into the fanfics that we write.

And you're writing something really sick, but that doesn't make you insane. Right.

And for the record? I like Tea. But pretty much the only thing I've seen her in that I can recall is a made-for-TV movie filmed in Toronto (at least in part) called "The Counterfeit Contessa." It was cute, and she did just fine in it.
Thanks, Ann. That was fun.

In all honesty, I could give a shit about the fic. The DAGS' stuff was truly heinous, but if producing skanky, soul-destroying fiction were a crime, they'd set up a guillotine over the entrance to the Lansing Holiday Inn. (And Invisigoth's reasoning isn't always up to snuff, but that's another issue.) These guys were scary in that many of them believed that what they wrote was true and, if their own accounts are to be believed, acted on it.

Did you ever see, or did Susan tell you about, PsychoTrekkie? They had that kind of vibe.

Does it talk about the part where she kidnaps a young teen, locks him in the car, and drowns him every Spring when the ice breaks to ensure the year's fertility?

Actually, I'm looking forward to the next issue when she has an article about the benefits of bathing in virgin's blood - and the beset way to acquire it.

Yes, so I see you *do* have winter here after all. Not pleasing. Careful about giving away your highly guarded office location. I'm going to start checking out state flags now . . . and the stakeouts at Younkers are going quite well, and . . .

Damn! I shouldn't've said that . . . ;-)

I haven't seen the inside of Yoinkys since that fatal evening, but if you're gonna lurk there, bring a bottle of water. It's hotter'n fuck.
