You know, there's being unashamed of writing RPS, and then there's quite literally shoving your RPS into one of your subjects' faces. Whatever posesses people to show actors their RPS is beyond me, but right now I'm just hoping the people claiming this are lying their arses off; Because if they're not, I might be in for a severely bumpy ride in fanfiction from now on.

(Edit: I can't even really be angry right now, I'm too scared. I know I've always said that I'd fight for RPS, that I'd fight for every RPS site on femgeeks, for mine and everyone's right to write and publicise it. But that doesn't mean I'm too happy about maybe having to. I'm twenty-one, I have no lawyer and very little money, so I'm not too naive to think I'm sure to win this, whatever "this" is. And I'm not exactly happy about people doing things that speed up the point where I have to find out.)

Nodnol countdown: 2 days

Yeah, the knee? Not really better yet. >_<

Everybody needs to go read Everyone Knows Everyone right now! Because holy shite! Nelly/Justin. Hothothot and dude, did I ever mention my kink for interracial pairings? Because the contrast and the hot and the -

I'm just dead now. Wow. What a way to start the day!

Quote o' the Day:

For the love of several holy deities on a unicycle, why must people be so stupid.

Melle: Ahahahahaha!
ChrisPuppet: ?
Melle: It's the mental image! The mental image!
Koda: Hey! That's my line, bitch!

Seriously, though, can someone explain to me why lotrips fandom is littered with idiots? For the love of fuck, people, use your goddamn brains for once! Allow me to point some things out to you lot (or rather, them lot, since none of them read my LJ that I know of; though if anyone wants to pass this on, do feel free):

1. None of us are cooler than each other. Lotrippers are not cooler, better or smarter than people in any other RPS or FPS fandom. We write slash. We are all dorks. The fact that the FellowShip guys act snuggly and cuddly and whatever in public does not make it more okay to slash them. The fact that some of us slash boybands and you slash actors does not make our stories worse than yours. I repeat: we're all dorks. Get over it, embrace your dorkiness, and internalise the concept of solidarity amongst slashers.
2. Don't act like a stalker. No, you should not be ashamed for writing RPS. No, you should not hide your stories behind passwords or secret URLS. But to go shove your stories into the subjects' faces is exactly the kind of stalkerish behaviour opponents of RPS have been accusing us all of for the two years I've been into RPS, and apart from the possible baclash this could cause to RPS, it's just plain rude towards the actors in question.
3. Don't make assumptions. No matter how slashy the guys may act, the only one of whom we know he's gay is Sir Ian. Whatever you may think, unless they actually come out explicitaly, you cannot claim "Look at how they act! They must be fucking!" and mean it. The same goes for "Look at how they act! They must know of slash, and they're encouraging it!" Just, no. You don't know these people. Don't make assumtions.

You'd think these things spoke for themselves, but obviously, they don't, not in this fandom. And that, lads and lasses, is why I left it before I was actually into it. I've had enough heartache. However, I reiterate, if anyone wants to pass this on, do feel free. Fucking lying idiotic bints!

Wrote a scene of Pride yesterday, and badgered Beth into giving me advice on which POV to write the second to last scene from. Cue scary music.

And another thing

Everything else aside, I have to say, I can't understand why any RPS writer would want the subject of their stories to read them. I mean, I would be completely weirded out by it, myself. I can't even write Nirvanaslash because Kurt looked too much like my brother!

But, yeah, my main anger and irritation right now isn't so much about the RPS thing, but about the stalkerish behaviour. Just because someone's a celebrity does not mean that it's okay to just go up to them and, quite basically, harass them.

Yo, Zed, Sae! We need to seriously figure out how and when and where to meet!

On a more cheerful note, juju21 posted some icons. These are my favourites:

And now, we read!

Managed to pack, clean and cook in an hour and a half. Wow. Go me.

Had an epiphany on the train home, but kat already said it best Because really, people, I'll be a lot more likely to shrug off, say, an anti-gay site when I stumble upon it that I would when it's been thrusted in my face and I've been ordered to read it, all while I was actually trying to have a nice dinner.

RPS has been "outed" before, in Q Magazine. That was a slight "eep", but then I didn't worry about it anymore. This? If it' true (big if, but still), it's scary as fuck.

Also, maladygirl has come up with the perfect name for the idiotic lotrippers:
