Dear partly_bouncyI was recently pointed to your post of earlier today where you state that I asked you to take down the "article" on your "wiki" about me
( Read more... )
You can't be really expecting civility from the loonies can you? :)
She seems a bit defensive. Would've commented on her LJ, but what's the point. She doesn't seem to get that what she has done PUBLICLY inflames the less sane amongst us to get all worked up over pitifully small things, relatively. She is right about one thing (IMHO), other than removing your full name (which posting is meant to be a threat) , I would just ignore her miserable existence. Won't name call though, but creepy is an odd word for HER to use against someone else. :)
I didn't realize you were so deeply involved in all that crap. Sorry if I offended you previously with all my "Cassandra Claire is a nonentity in my world" posting, back when I first read about it. Of course, Cassandra Claire IS a nonentity in my world, but that's beside the point.
The point is: what's WRONG with that girl, exactly? I'd ask if she maybe just couldn't read, if she translated that e-mail to mean you expected her to take down the wiki, but she writes, so she should be able to read.
I love how everyone expects apologies for everything. Half the fandom thinks they're owed something by someone. *le Sigh*

Nah, I've been friends with Heidi for years, and I'm loosely acquainted with Cassie and others, and I've never been a great fan of Cassie's early writing. But, you know, some of us can distinguish betweeen liking someone, vs. liking their work, vs. being genuinely happy for someone else's success while still being critical of that work. Some of us who are not BATSHIT INSANE, that is.
So I'm sure Heidi will say so herself, but meanwhile, I can attest that fangirling Cassie is definitely not a requirement for obtaining or sustaining Heidi's friendship. ;^D
I've never seen her work, actually. Nor did anything I've read about it lately make me want to seek it out.
And batshit insane about covers that chick. (Whatever her handle was. I've already forgotten. I guess she was right about being a nobody.)
I almost posted something, but the more I read of her rant the more I realized how utterly pointless it would be. I think she must be delusional, and there just isn't any reasoning with that....
If I saw it I don't remember it - I was pretty afk and out of it for the first half of august because of my sister's husband, so I missed many days of LJ.
But even if I'd seen it, as Gwen says, it wouldn't matter to me. I don't hate people or end friendships just because someone doesn't like the writing of a friend of mine, or even if they think that she took too much from other works, or if they think I did. There's more to the world than that.
That's pretty darn stalky. One wonders whether this person has ever actually managed to get laid, or whether she is still living in her parents' basement.
The level of nastiness prevalent in the HP fandom never ceases to amaze me. And all this plagiarism wankery when everybody concerned is ripping off JKR's IP from the get-go?
Well, just because I was curious, I asked her why she uses your last name... I hope I haven't opened up a can of worms. I like to keep all fandom doings positive (and it's really easy to do so!!), but whatever.
Do you still use your real name in fandom dealings?

It's also tres, tres interessant that in the comments, she accuses you of calling up her workplace. Um. Pot? Kettle?
