redwineisinstockYou know, the thing that probably irks me personally most about the latest LJ witchhunt is that its driving me out of lurkerdom. I mean, obviously the impact this is having on various LJ communities is horrible, and its definitely driving a number of people to a great deal of effort but if I can't be selfish on my own LJ, then where can I be.
Of the vast amount of fanfic I've read, there are really only about 10 authors I love enough to haunt their LJ's and now I will have to friend them and expose the boring dribble of my life to them, if I'm lucky (i.e they friend me back, so I can read the friends locked stuff) Since I don't write ( I dream wonderful plots, but something happens when I put it down on paper, its not pretty) I don't have much to contribute to these wonderful writers, and I was happy just lurking.
GRRRR
And I'm out of gin. I'm going to have to settle for the 40% stuff that is all they are allowed to sell here until I can convince someone travelling outside the EU to buy the proper stuff. (40% freezes when put in the freezer, 47% does not) I'm not enough of an alcoholic to care about the extra 7%
