dramaturgy: (Perturbed)

To the Internet community at large:

All right. I've had enough.

Let's get one thing straight.

FANFICTION.NET IS NOT OUT TO "GET YOU". It is a website. It does not have the ability to be pissed off, offended, or vengeful. The adminstrators of the website, however, are people, and I am sure they LOVE reading about how "fucking crappy" their site is that they spend lots of money and time running EVERY SINGLE FUCKING MONTH.

So instead of whining to your Y!Group about how ff.net is being slow again, let's consider that it is not out to get you, it is trying to do what you want it to, and if it can't at that moment THEN IT CAN'T. It didn't pick you to not work for, I guarantee that you are not so special that the administrators of the site would specifically say, "Hey, let's make ______'s day a little more difficult by making the website not work."

Next time you go to complain about ff.net, consider if you could do better and if you find that you couldn't, shut your trap and if you think you could, shut up and try.

No love at all from a very cranky, tired, and ill,

Me

Feel better, and I agree with you.

*hugs*

Is that perchance Michael Owen in your icon? Hugging David Beckham?

It is indeed Michael Owen.

He is, however, hugging Emile Heskey.

Ah, my mistake! I had it confused with this picture, I think.

Randomly, Melle, that icon cracks me up.

Hee! Why, thank you! I am indeed a Bitter Old Fan Hag. :D

Why, in my day, we had to walk a mile through the snow to get our RPS. Each way! And password-protected!

And wearing absolutely nothing.

Oh wait, that's still how it's done. ;)

Well, duh, how else were we supposed to get our nipples hard enough to cut through the safe with them, and get to the RPS?

Too true. And how.

Have a muffin.

I agree.

*Hugs*

Feel better.

I've noticed this a lot too. People bitch and whine about FFN, but no one seems to mind the exposure their fics get over there. (Which is plenty!)

Ah, the fandom. If you don't laugh, you'd cry.

And it wasn't even Harry Potter-ites that set me off.
