Open letter

Dear Fanfic Author,

If you are not going to bother answering comments, then I'm not going to bother with leaving you one, no matter how much I liked your fic. And no, I'm not talking about comments a few days old that you just haven't gotten around to yet. I'm talking about comments that were left several months ago and haven't been acknowledged with even a simple 'thank you'. Also, if it's clear that you're only answering comments left by your in-crowd or other so-called BNFs, then I will be doubley disinclined to acknowledge your fic in any way. Because nothing gets up my nose faster than that sort of high-school elitism and if that makes me a petty bitch then so be it. You can take your entitlement issues and 5 pages of unanswered comments and fuck off.

Ask me if I care,
Kat

that's really bloody rude. if people take the time out to comment, even if it's just a "i liked that" then it's should be responded to.

that sort of thing really irritates me. and yeah I'm with kip. bitchslapping is always a useful tool. :-)

Waste of a good slap, to be honest. But yeah, omg authors like this get on my tits, hence the venting. I'm gonna go take some calm pills now and hopefully be in better mood tomorrow.

Tidy rails are up! Yes there were two, we now have one in the office for jackets - hurrah!

Have been distracted by reading this (http://charlottelennox.livejournal.com/887.html) - an incredible true story of the how crazy HP fandom actually got. I knew about in general way, but not to this detail, fascinating read.

You know that P-word you banned me from using (no, not penis)? Well, you'll be pleased to know that none of that sort has happened today.

...I'm hungry. What to do, what to do...

Excellent on the rails and that's so good on one in the office for jackets. Kittens no longer able to lie all over them :-)

I have saved the HP fandom read and yes they are a very crazy fandom.

Good. Very pleased on none of that going on.

Hungry ... what to do ... well I would suggest food :-)

Go make yourself something woman and hello Jon. See some bandom people can do beards well. Are you listening Andy!
