Me, at 09:00: wow, sure looks like Pride is being shitty to queer groups by limiting them to 20 people per float this year and cutting the numbers of floats :(
Me, ten minutes ago: Pride is letting the police have 30 members? And Westpac gets 30 marchers, who just admitted guilt in being involved in a child exploitation ring and 23 million breaches of financial law? And Crown fucking Casino gets 100 marchers?
Me, now: mix equal parts gasoline and styrofoam to create homemade napalm and remember, police banking CEOs and the Packer family aren’t flammable unless you make them so!
this is a joke of course, everyone remember the acronym:

I don’t think there’s an applause gif big enough to properly convey my reaction to this.
Also, I love that if anyone tries to say that you’re just “another hack fic writer with no ideas of her own who is jealous of the “real” writers out there”, they could quite literally be crushed under your catalog of award-winning original writing as a response. They can’t dismiss your stance on this topic the way they do to so many unpublished / fanfic writers because you’ve already met all of the standards that they insist someone has before they’ll accept their opinion as worth listening to.
Right?
“Well, fanfic authors never win awards, so–” “WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOLD MY HUGO.” “That’s basically, it’s, you know, the People’s Choice, so–” “LOOK AT MY NEBULA.” “That’s a science fiction award, it doesn’t really–” “LOOK I’VE WON THE ALEX.” “…” “IT’S GIVEN BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO GIVE THE NEWBURY.” “…” “I’M THE FIRST PERSON TO WIN IT TWICE IN A ROW.” “…well you wrote porn.” “GOSH I SURE DID.”
More attention to this, please. :) From yet another of the I Wrote Fanfic First And I Decline To Feel Shame About It brigade.
(And I also wrote for My Little Pony, which means I may have inadvertently contributed something to Seanan’s state of being. [Which I will file under the “Quiet Unholy Glee” heading.])
“Early time travelers measured the trips in “grains,” in reference to an hourglass, since they could only move a few seconds at a time. Later machines used grandfather clocks, and measured quarter-hours as “chimes.” The terms remain in use today; time travelers adore tradition.”
