Yep. It's full of writers, all right. Capable of seeing high drama and potential plots where there were none, capable of reading way too much (or way too little) into post tone, capable of holding grudges in mind as long as a plotbunny or longer...

Okay, look. If you're going to bitch, take a good long look in the mirror first. WHAT DID YOU FIX?

Pretty much the usual. Someone did something, someone else didn't like how it was done and decided to say so pretty much far too late for it to matter, and suddenly everyone's taking sides. Nothing like hot weather in the northern hemisphere to get everyone's knickers in a bunch.

Good avvie.

Ah, melodrama. Some people love it, live on it, can't go without it, and unfortunately drag it along with them everywhere they go, including into hobbies like MNFF. I wish you could grab them all by the scruffs of their necks and drag them apart. Then, while you've still got 'em by the necks, I wish you could knock their little heads together smartly. Then when they're sitting dazed upon the floor, I wish you could lay down the laws and make them either quit the drama or take it elsewhere ( ... )

That's the funny part. Mostly I know that someone, somewhere is being a snot. Occasionally I catch one of them.

I suppose this is what happens when our hobby is drama.

Oooh, wouldn't our touchy little writerlings just LOVE that system!!!! "Who are you and what gives you the right to grade me?!"

The muse is a fickle creature. When he's off, I go read about writing, or read other people's writing, or market something. On the whole, it seems to work, as all of those tasks seem to also be essential. If all else fails, though, bribery has been known to work.

This was inevitable. The past year I have heard SO much bitching about MNFF, I have seen a significant number of mods leave due to "politics"; that is to say, increased from previous years ( ... )

You know, if the book hadn't been specifically requested and cited as a really great idea, maybe I'd be okay with the complaints ( ... )
