well, that ruined that

i was all excited cos we saw 'secretary' last night and i loved it. i came away with a shit eating grin because, well, for various reasons. you know, there is hope for the dysfunctional amongst us after all. and then this morning, i was all set to crack on these ideas that you all were so great with, but then...



I normally don’t mind if people want to archive my stories, I’m thrilled, I’m honored. I have no idea what y’all see in them, but you know, hey. Just please, for the love of who-the-fuck-ever you worship - ask first. DO NOT TAKE WITHOUT ASKING… because then I get pissed off.

I don't even like being around me when I'm pissed off.

Still, you know, it could be anything, maybe I forgot that I said yes.

edited to note: I have e-mailed the site master in question, and am now waiting to hear back. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt since I'm sitting on the SV/HP fence and can't be arsed to start another war. I haven't gone soft, I'm just trying to stick with the seasonal shit.

Ack! I hate it when people steal your work without telling you. Did you email the person and bitch them out? My god, it's just fucking common sense to ask permission to archive a story.

Sorry, Z. :(

no, i'm going to wait and see, because you know, my memory has a lot of pot holes so maybe this person did ask and i just forgot. i'm trying to be adult about this (hush), and if the person took them without permission then i'll ask for them to be removed. it's not that i don't like a site, it's a lovely site, but you know, it's the principle of the thing. i don't have a lot, but i got a few.

Hey, I asked for Remember Us! Well, okay, I didn't so much ask as say, "I'm stealing your stories for Remember Us and you can't stop me, bwuahahahaha!" But you seemed to find mommy silly and amusing and... *sniffle* So if you want the links down, I'll take 'em down, and, um... if you're not talking about me, then never mind. I'm having one of those paranoid days.

whaaa? darling, of course it's not you. i came to you and asked i could add my stories, don't you remember that at all?

(I need a confused icon.) I coulda sworn I begged for them, man. Or stole them blatantly. In either case, I'm glad it's not me, and I'm glad we have your stories on Remember Us and Wild Coyote! Now I kill the bad archiver with my laser eyes! See? They are dust now for thwarting you!

it wasn't me, was it? because I sorta kinda have 8 million SV archives right now, and could easily have screwed up and forgotten to ask somewhere along the time... I'm not the sharpest pear in the fruit bowl that way.

no, darling, i wasn't you. besides, i know you have your fingers in every pie known to man and are busy, and thus might be distracted.
