Or sometimes I don't.

Sometimes I see really annoying author's notes along the lines of 'I suck at writing porn' or 'I've been blocked for ages and I'm sure this is garbage'.

If that's the case, seriously folks, keep it to yourself. If I saw your fic posted to a comm and I'm on the fence about reading, the fact that even YOU wouldn't recommend it is a pretty hard and fast guarantee that I'm not going anywhere near it.

Also, if you feel like you have to warn me for slash, or bottom!X, I'm second guessing your definition of the word 'warning' and then I'm wondering if you've really got a good handle on the English language.

And if you say something like this:

I made no money from this. However, money was paid for this and donated to charity. So anyone hungry to scream copyright infringement is welcome to sue the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

I'm going to raise my eyebrow and mark you down on my list of LJ notes folk, under 'no'.

Seriously, who the fuck invites someone to sue disaster victims? I highly doubt anyone cares enough about your few bucks to seek prosecution, but if they did, do you seriously think they should take it up with the victims of a hurricane, rather than YOU, who actually infringed on the copyright?

I've never read anything by this author before, though I've considered it. Now, for sure I won't.

Wow! *sarcasm*
That last one is shitty.

I'm sure they were trying to be clever or some such, but just... no. Too far.

You don't think the person was just being sarcastic...? I kinda think that's more likely than them seriously suggesting people sue a charity over a piece of fanfic.

For someone who's such a sarky bitch herself, I would have thought that might be your first conclusion :P

OMG, Ash! Don't pull any punches here! LOL!!!

I'd love to hang out with you two while your hanging out but I think I'm too damn soft. I'd end up crying.

She loves it.

Ha! No, in real life we're really sweet! Er...sort of. Ahem.

Dude, we're all kinds of sweet!

It's like a syrupy overdose!

('cause you know you love to be my bitch)

Pfft, you wish.

If I'm anyone's bitch, I think I've proven repeatedly that it's Whisky's. I end up being, like, the unpaid intern who fetches the tea for Team Lame and aspires to be a member one day.

(I do sort of love you, though. Ew, now I'm grossing myself out with the flowery declarations!)

No, I'm sure they were being sarcastic. And maybe I just love me more than I love anybody else, but I think that's too far. Obviously, nobody is going to sue you over this. OBVIOUSLY.

Just... let it go, man. Don't bring unnecessary attention.

There's just something about going to the trouble of mentioning law suits and then hoisting it off on disaster victims. Seriously uncool.

"I love myself, better than you..."

Ah, Nirvana nostalgia :D

Indeed :)

It happens to be true...

You're so funny when you get a bee in your bonnet.

(Or do you guys get bees in your hoods...? :P)

I had read that. At 1st I was like--whut???
Then I read it has major snark to anyone who would sue.
Damn. Now I can't remember the writer.
Damn it!!!!
Getting so damn old!

No, I get that the author was being 'edgy' or whatever, but I think that's too far. To go to the trouble of mentioning legal ramifications and then pointing bloodsuckers in the direction of the victims? Even in jest? Just no.

Probably not being sarcastic considering some of the other things I've seen posted by that same person.

Just guessing.

Y'all know I'm not one to stir up trouble.

Woot!

Well, I have no idea what that person is like, but if you think this sounds typical of them, that's sort of interesting!

In the way that my feelings of ick keep on keepin' on.

I hate those author notes as well. It is either fishing for compliments or warning that their story does indeed suck.
 
posted by [identity profile] rockstarpeach.livejournal.com at 02:17am on 28/01/2013
Yeah, I just don't get it.
 
posted by [identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com at 04:27am on 26/01/2013
It's just stupid. I hate stupid stuff like that. Why the eff would I click on something they're telling me is shit? I'm like, "THANKS A LOT FOR SPARING ME YOUR SHIT--GOOD LOOKIN OUT."

Save that stupid ass stuff for your friends, y'know? Keep it out of the comm.

I'm a weee bit cranky today.
 
posted by [identity profile] rockstarpeach.livejournal.com at 02:18am on 28/01/2013
LOL!

That's okay, I was pretty cranky, too :)

In conclusion... Don't say more than you need to. Extraneous information will only make you look stupid.

I know that from experience :)

I don't mind authors notes that give information, ie, 'this is a sequel', 'warning non-con' etc...
But, warning about bad writing seems rather ridiculous if you are looking for readers. The summary has to be pretty damn good for me to think about reading it, if the writer says the story's not good
I'm thinking that the author's disclaimer was an attempt at sarcasm.

Exactly. I can take a lot in a fic - rape and violence and unhappy endings... but I draw the line at bad writing! If you warn me for that, I'm out :P
