I'm really getting sick and fucking tired of the nanobashing I keeping seeing here and there.

Christ all fucking mighty do the professional and more toward professional writers get that the world does not revolve around them in any way, shape or form. Fuckin bloody hell grow the fuck up and get over yourselves -__-

Nano is not primarily for professional writers, or even writers with the potential to be professional. It's mostly for amateurs, beginners, or people who more often than not have to put writing second or third place in their lives. It's about the challenge and the fun, and pushing yourself where ordinarily you wouldn't. It's not about being great or wonderful or professional or bloody fucking perfect.

I am so goddamn sick of the snotty assholese I should be considering peers. Christ, I'm so sick of it. I've made enemies of erastes, logos philos, and I'm pretty sure at least half the torquere authors have voo doo dolls of me. I can't help it, I have my standards and I hold other so-called professional-caliber writers to those standards (and I'm sorry if that sounds egotistical, I do like to think sometimes that I could be professional someday, if only I could actually get publishsed somewhere *sigh* but that's a different rant).

What I don't do is hold those who only do this for fun, as a hobby, or whatever to the same standards. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's no different to me than my swimming. I am a very good swimmer, my parents drilled Sammie and I -- we got so good at one point our instructor had to make a special class because the highest level they had was still too easy. I used to compete (though not for very long, granted). I would never expect everyone to swim like me. That's stupid. Someone who only likes to splash around the pool and play Marco Polo is totally fly with me; he doesn't have to race me (which I love to do). There are other people for that.

So all you snotty bitches putting down the nano'ers cam KMA and no I don't care if this is about to land me in wankland. Fuck it. I'm tired of people trash talking my peeps. God fucking forbid people have a bit of harmless fun. If you don't want to play with us, then go find a different pool to pee in.

And if I'm kinda sorta picking fights, it's probably time for this loud-mouthed bitch to take herself to bed.

Peace out.

*cries* I had a whole reply, and LJ ate it :(. Let's try again. *clears throat*

Maybe. But it's still a silly reason.

Heh. You have to know that I'm perfectly capable of loving utter crap, and most of my reading is intuitive. But yeah, I like her stories (I prefer her modern fantasy and sc-fi over her fantasy, but that may be because the fantasy is mostly earlier works and she has grown since then. Plus, the modern stuff has more pr0n. I don't know yet if I'd like the author herself. I joined her [livejournal.com profile] thisthingwedo but so far the one time when I commented her reply back was a bit curt and discouraged me from continuing the conversation (granted, my comment mentioned squicky things but we sorta asked for that in the OP). I don't know. I admire her writing, and that's enough for me.
