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.
