Dear Fanficwriters of the Universe Internet:
You will keep writing fanfic even if we don't comment. Long observation has, if not proven this, at least strongly indicated that FANFIC WRITERS ARE LIKE SKELETONS, OR RON JEREMY: THEY JUST KEEP COMING. Moreover, some of you will probably stop writing even if we do comment profusely (pot, kettle, sirius). But the vast majority of you will keep writing because you like it, adapting to the paucity or superfluity of comments as a nomadic tribe adapts to local water conditions. In short: HAH HAH HAH, PWNED. BEG FOR IT, BITCHES.
Love,
Ack, Largely Silent Reader and Writer of Fic In Extremely Obscure Fandoms That Goes Uncommented On And Oft Unposted, Because It's Infinitely Less Time-Consuming To Write Fic In One's Head.
P.S. It's shit like this that makes me love and cherish my tiny little fandom of one two one. And, you know, skulk on the very, very edges of HP fandom these days. That, and no new canon to respur my LUV/CRACK = bored, jaded Ack.
P.P.S. K, I love you, but wouldn't "I now find chan squicky/morally unjustifiable, so I'm not writing or reading itanymore" have been more succint?
P.P.P.S I reserve the right to mock fan_the_vote, what with the huge amount of people posting offers relative to actual bids/donations made. Why? Because, see, I've already donated over $200 combined to the Kerry campaign, MoveOn, the DNC, HRC, ACLU, and NOW this year, plus I vote. In my local elections, even. If you need 500 words of someone's fanfic to make you cough up $10 for MoveOn, sorry, NO RESPECT for your political convictions, there. Also, I think one person donating all the time she spends on fandom for the next four months to volunteer with the Kerry campaign and go door to door would be a hell of a lot more productive. Which, you know, I just may end up doing. Also, as people have pointed out, it's illegal. A lot of the whole 'let's stick it to Bush!'-ism rubs me the wrong way, as someone who cares about the Democratic party as an entityreally wants the country to get past this whole Red/Blue thing. Everyone being apathetic right up until they go complete overboard in hyperpartisanism? Maybe human nature, but I still don't think it's healthy.
