Too old and ugly to write fanfic

[cabenson]

These comments about me cracked me up.

Who knew all the fanfic readers were so shallow? Guess this explains why I haven't had to call the cops on stalkers in a while.


ETA: Don't go give them hell, they don't know what they are missing.

Hey you old coot! Welcome to my world... :)

"Old coot"! Hah! Honestly, I'd take that part as a compliment, because it makes me think of you sitting there writing fic...with a shotgun across your lap. Old coots kick ass. That's how they became old coots.

Wow. That entire thread kinda cracks me up. Particularly the comments about how they love fan fiction but think that the fan fiction writers themselves are nutty freaks who have severe social disorders and can't make it in real life. I don't make it not because I'm nuts, but because I'm lazy, dammit.

There's a difference.

They're probably pimply fourteen-year-olds. LOL. Us old coots rule!

can an old coot like you tell me what a 'tibetter' is and looks like? (but, on the stalker front, be careful of the DWP kids, they like em older)

Okay, that upsets me.

And I'm pissed that someone would put my story up in that thread after you've been so thoroughly insulted in it. I want no part of that. And I don't want those hateful people reading me and ripping me to shreds. :/

Do you want me to go over there and give them a piece of my mind? I will. It's one thing to insult someone's story. That's to be expected because we share it, but insulting someone's appearance is out of bounds. Completely out of bounds.

I'm sorry. :(

I have no idea what a tibetter is. I was hoping someone could tell ME! I know it has to do with the LWord, but I have never seen an ep of that show.

And seriously, I ain't that old ;)

Butting in as usual. :)

Heh, old coot. That thread is the epitome of the phrase 'opinions are like assholes...". Although I did get a good chuckle out of Miss Shallow #2's musings as to what ralst looks like because, you know, OMG, I, like, totally can't masterbate to fan fics archived by an old coot!!

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I am taking it all in stride. I am a 42 year old dyke with premature greay hair and apparently I look like a "tibetter" even though I don't know what that is. But they liked my stuff enough to read it in the first place ;)

And your story is brilliant and it should be promoted, so I say go with the flow. Especially if we see the sequel up as soon as you get your laptop fixed and/or find your Crackberry ;)

omg, you're like, over 24! and like, that's like, just like Meryl isn't it?

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

But...but...I am a Cahn girl, never!~ an L Word girl ;)

You know, that's funny because I was thinking the other day about starting a fanfic community for old farts. It kind of (a lot) skeeves me to be reading pron written by an 18 (god, let them at least be 18) year old.

Plus, you're totally hot. (with all due respect to Mrs. CB)

[myrth1.livejournal.com]

These kids today have no taste.

Ironically they probably don't realise that the chicks they're drooling over are your age ;)

[myrth1.livejournal.com]

Ew... lol.

They're probably not 18 and are yet to figure out quite what the important bits do ;)

[racethewind10.livejournal.com]

What morons. And I seriously doubt they have ANY room to talk. Shallow little pre-pube idiots.

[eclecticfan.livejournal.com]

wow

just wow

and let us know if we need to go pummel

;)

[macayagirl.livejournal.com]

wtf is wrong with people? ugh.

[mammothluv.livejournal.com]

Oh, the internet! WTF? Perhaps you should start placing a warning of some sort on your stories - "Warning: Author may look like tibetter!" *gasp*

[sr-m-grammatica.livejournal.com]

From one old coot (and a proud tibetter, myself) to another, hooray for us! All these punks have to do is wait. Their turns will come. In the mean time, take this (points to avatar), twerps.

I kind of want to go give them hell - I hate people who make these kinds of comments. But since you asked us not to, I won't :)

I love how you've got 'too old and ugly to write fanfic' on your header, though :D

And such a lovely world it is....

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

I do write with a shot glass...does that count?

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Yes, I guess it IS time to move me and my girl and our 5 cats out of my mom's basement...

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Yay for old bitches!!!!!...I mean me, not you ;0
