Two *years* of 'NCIS is a good show but the fanfic is cr*p' has led up to this

I originally wrote this last night. I've had a chance to (literally) sleep on it, so it still stands.

I'm sorry that life outside of fandom has been bad for you - I hope things perk up.

Reads the rest and shakes head.

Ah, you get this kind of person all the time - and often they are folk who don't even write.

'Good' and 'bad' are such subjective terms anyway.

It's so good to know this person has read every single NCIS story ever written - wow! That's just amazing to hear, where do they find the time? And to go on reading in a fandom where all the writers are crap, now that takes real dedication!

People like this really annoy me; they seem to take joy in spoiling fandom for other people.

Well, according to this person, I need to get a sense of humour.
Why I need another one is beyond me. Everything else might be going doolally on me but that (and a number of other things.) are doing okay at the moment.

Weird.

You speak truth. It's just that... these kind of people annoy the daylights out of me. I'm of the 'if you can't say something nice - shut the f*ck up' school, which served me fine until last night. I just got sick and tired of it - so I spoke out.

Life is too damn short to put up with people who 'choose' to read bad fic just to rip it apart. It's also too short to read bad fic as well.

Which reminds me - I *must* get that Gibbs/Ducky story finished off!

Ah, humour . . . That's another one of those 'hinky' things that mean different things to different people.

You could suggest (to quote J when I rant about such things) they 'get a life' *bats eyes innocently*

I know. I know - they annoy the hell out of me too. And you know I'm of that school too. But yes, I've been known to play hooky from it on occasions (on someone else's behalf).

It is indeed.

I'm just still amazed that this person/people have read every single NCIS out there. After all how else do they know that all the writers are 'bad' if they haven't read every single story from the half drabble to the 250,000+ epic? *Bats eyes innocently again*

You should indeed.

I *don't* think they've read everything. From what I have read of their postings in the past, they stick to the G/D side of things (leaving out about 60% of fandom but thems the breaks) and yes, there is... well, you do the math!

That and I think they purposefully looked for the crap stuff, so they could extract the proverial. Which strikes a little too close to... shall I say 'playground behaviour' for my liking.

I might be reading it wrong but that's just me.

I has a newsletter to do, but it shall be done and sent of to periwinkle27 to check *again*
