Had a James Hetfield/Mariah Carrey dream last night. *pointedly glares in the general direction of Canada*

Blar, got an email back from the U2Bubblegum listmum. Um, girls? Did we know this is a writers-only list? Because the only thing keeping me back from starting my own list is the whole shades of TF-metslash thing. I don't think I'll be staying, though. And *cringe* she used the phrase "serious writers". That counts me out, then, since I'm lots of things, but serious isn't one of them. Yeah, I'm bitchy. So sue me. (*snerk*)

But, yeah. I'd like a U2 slash list where lurkers are welcome and all, and where temper tantrums like the one that sparked this whole thing are either ignored or put down, but this fandom is too small to warrant two lists, really. And, as I said, I fear the ever so slight chance that this'll turn into another List War, and um. No. Not with this fandom, not with me, and actually, not with her, either. I think she's naive, but then, I'm old and jaded, and she's actually okay.

I really hate fandom politics.

In other news, if I ever again can't get any Gitanes, please remind me to never ever buy Galoises, yeah? I still have a foul taste in my mouth. Yuck.

Right now, most of the listsibs, even the ones who were on tf and/or switched to metslash at the time of the split, and the ones who were involved in the hidious (I cringe!) semi-flamewar in Ruth's (and, at one time, Joanne's) LJ are ... at least on speaking terms again. I think now that everyone's calmed down, we all realised that really, this isn't worth getting that heated up over. I think Ms ListMum is really the only one who still holds an actual grudge. (Well, Kr*s, too, but whatever.)

And it's not even an issue with the listmum; I was wront, twasn't her who emailed the list re: feedback -- although the person emailing did mention talking to the listmum and bitching and implied that she agreed, which is actually rather annoying. I have issues (I'm way too fond of that word) with people not fighting their own battles. (See also: Sp**ks, CC.)

So, yeah, I'm thinking about it, but I'm gonna send an email to the list about it first, to make absolutely sure that people realise I'm not trying to drain that list or whatever, and it's just a matter of a playground more suited for those of use who are ... laxer, I guess.

Go to sleep, you freak. :p
