My concubines are lame. Drown them all!
SGA ficcer is not getting the acclaim she says she deserves. So she is going to delete her LJ. Her 560 "friends" are not fawning enough so what's the point?!

There are at least 60 comments on her epic fic's last two chapters now. I'm too lazy to figure out how many there were before she flipped out. Also she posted the last chapter only yesterday.

And the mea culpas pour in--three pages of "I'm sorry/I suck/Plz don't go."

And one of them thinks she can get some LOVE IF SHE FLOUNCES TOO!

When someone points out the flounce. [info]sardonicsmiley doesn't argue much.

And she is finally called on her tantrum.

LOL ENTITLEMENT DEBATE.

eta: WOT? "I'm turning commenting off until the last part, because otherwise that would just be too much."

So she turned commenting off and then bitched about no comments? O_o

eta2: All this for an alias change?


ETA3: BAHLEETION!! (saved pages below)

page 1, page 2, page 3, and expanded smackdown. And page 4 thanks to [info]longtimegone! :D

Ok, so lemon is hard NC-17, lime is R, what's orange?

And why not just use the movie ratings? Was there an old-school reason for this?

I can't answer the second half (why not use movie ratings) but actually, yes! There is a reason why it's called lime and lemon! (....what's....orange.....) In the mid 80s, there was a hentai (which is basically sexually explicit or pornographic) anime video series called Cream Lemon. It was really very popular because not only was it blatantly porny but also often very strange and surreal. The term "lemon" became popular among Japanese amateur manga artists who would label their stories "lemons", and, like many conventions that fangirls who write fanfic often imitate, it was carried over to the western fandom, which is probably why it was primarily, or as far as I can tell, used in anime/manga fandoms first.

Or anyway, that is what I was told.

According to my Google-fu, orange means "safe for everyone".

I knew the reasoning for lemon and lime, but orange.. That's a new one to me.
