I'm not to say what people can and cannot post in their own journals and communities

And yet here you are, doing just that.

What was your point?

Oh I am loving this series more and more. And Oh bonus wank! :D That man. as much as I love his books really needs to be told.

Oh Harry, I know you don't like to work via committee, but if you don't tell John and just go he is going to be SOOOOOOOOO pissed - like possibly break the bank levels.

*hugs* Anyhow, I thought you struck a good tone in your comments to JB. Hopefully he'll go away, cool off, and ponder the voice of reason. When this stuff comes up it's human nature to be defensive first and think later (if at all) about other viewpoints. I can only hope that he's more enlightened than many of my acquaintances, who would prefer to just blinder themselves.

You have no idea how pissed John's gonna be. Seriously.

Utterly random, not related to post or comment comment:

Shiva!icon

*loves that quote*

I keep wishing for an Elseworlds or something where Tim goes with Shiva. His life might actually have been slightly less traumatic. There's been a few fics along similar lines, but there is not nearly enough Shiva/Tim in the world.

I haven't commented for a long time, and I'm sorry. I've read the transcript of the twitter fight with JB, and it made me rage so hard. This chapter made me feel a whole lot better. And I hope this doesn't annoy you, but I like how you describe Chicago here much more than the description of Hyde Park that I've seen quoted.

So there. I like this. I kinda feel this comment is a bit inadequate, but I'm still ragey over the comments on Tumblr. I just want you to know that you are awesome, not just as a writer but also as a person. Also you are so brave.

Thank you very much. I'm currently regretting the whole affair, but the support is appreciated. I think I'll just focus on MoC for a while.
