Do you ever want to toss a fanfic you just read across the room, metaphorically, because it leaves a sour taste in your mouth and, quite frankly, makes you feel a little sick in your stomach? Yeah, just did that. You might ask, Why didn't you just stop reading, then, if it was upsetting you that much? Well, that's a good question. In my defense, I thought things were gonna get better! Turn around, you know, and characters would catch on and... ::reads more:: Okay, well, there still might be a happy ending... ::one half of slash pairing dies:: Well, just a denouement, then, a revelation, justice! ::nuh unh:: Vindication, surely, the truth will out! ::the end:: Well, all right, then. Lesson learned. Do not dump Ezri Dax, because she will destroy you and your little dog, too. And, thanks to Dax, in perpetuity.
In fairness, it wasn't a badly written fic, because the author wasn't going for happy sappy, so... Job well done!
Urgh.
I don't know if I mentioned here, but, about a year ago, my bank account was hacked and cleaned out. Yadda yadda, got it all sorted out after time and travails, but, you know what? It just happened again! Almost exactly a year to the day! What the what?!
Credit where credit is due: My bank and their fraud department dealt with it swiftly to minimize the damage, and they got me my new ATM card in two business days, when they said it would take 7-10. Also, credit to Designer Shoe Warehouse for being very helpful in refunding my money the bad guys tried to spend there. (Next time I'm in the market for shoes, I'm hitting them up.) This lot of crooks got exactly nothing - no money and no merchandise. But, seriously! Two years in a row on almost exactly the same date? What the... What?! I'm locking down all my accounts this time next year.
Maybe if I send Ezri Dax after them...
I"m in need of some happy sappy fic, so I'll just be off then...
