How DARE
Over on fanficrants, fusepark wants people who don't finish their WIPs to just shoot her.

Being the obliging sort, but out of ammo, the community roasts her on an open flame instead.

Apparently unaware that nothing inspires more eye-rolling than half-assed "apologies", fusepark posts again.


ETA: Fixed the first link and the follow-up post, thanks to [info]somnabulicious.

ETA Mach II: Maryrose3 takes offense at people taking offence at the original fanficrants rant.

Son of ETA: I'm leaving because you're all so mean! Oh, wait, no, I'm not!"

Your link goes to one of the threads, not the entire bulk of the comments. Here's the link to all the comments:

http://www.livejournal.com/community/fanficrants/1106930.html#comments

And fusepark's follow-up post to fanficrants is here, wherein she says she whines because she cares. Or something.

I don't get the massive WIP hate some people have. I've been reading a fic that's been in progress for a few years, and you know? It never really occured to me to get angry with the author for not updating as often as I'd like her to. I guess I'm weird.

I kinda like that comment about not finishing WIPs out of spite.

I feel like that sometimes. (Although in my case it isn't a Work In Progress, really. It's more like a "I really should have some sort of closure on this, shouldn't I...hey, cartoons are on!"

Was poking at the new post by Fusepark, and saw that Maryrose 3 had responded with a comment on how her fic is always finished. I thought, hey, I like fic, and clicked on her journal.

"The wounds were opened up again by another rant. I guess it’s nice that there are other people who share my pain. Of course it would be even better if there were no pain to share but since that isn’t so this is what happens."

"And laugh and deride me all you want but it is nice to matter. I never mattered to the authors I was reading, obviously. O.K. It hurts but there is nothing I can do about it. The only thing I can do is to make sure that I NEVER do to my readers what was done to me. For they do matter to me and I think that is a good thing."

"Besides, how the fuck do you know what is going on in someone else’s life? Maybe fanfic is their one bright spot in a difficult life or time they are going through? I know it is with me."

It just... huh to the what now?

The whole thing is here. Don't think I want to read her fic anymore, either.

I love how creators are supposed to be able to use their awesome!writerly!powers to ... look years into the future to determine their schedules, and then decide whether they're going to write a WIP.

You see this all the goddamn time with bitchy webcomic fans. The artist/writer isn't updating fast enough because of a busy schedule? Well they should have known when they started that today they would be too busy to update!

"What I want all you writers to know is that my plea comes from the heart of a fan. I'm only frustrated to the degree that I enjoy your writing. If I were indifferent I wouldn't care if you continued your WIP."


Of course fans have the absolute right to whine! Nobody could possibly care about these unfinished fics more than the fans! Especially not that one person. Whassisname. You know. The author.

"Perhaps you do not appreciate how much we appreciate your work. Perhaps you do not appreciate how often we check your website/livejournal/whatever."

Perhaps they don't appreciate crazy stalkers. Being hounded by a person with entitlement issues as large as this chick might kill my inspiration to write, too.

But whatever. No fic for you, Mary. Why do you even bother thinking it's going to be different from all the other times? Because I'm a stupid fucking jackass, that's why. Yep. Got it in one. Go you! Whoop de do.

Ah, well. Writer's block, sickness. It's always something, isn't it? And I tried my best to be compassionate. I was. I had even backed off the nagging. It got me nowhere. Not that the nagging gets me anywhere either but at least I don't feel so god damned helpless. I'm actually doing something, taking a stand, as it were.


[info]maryrose3 *terrifies* me. I've seen senses of entitlement, I've seen excessive dependence on fanfic, but I've never seen someone see slow updating of fic because an author is blocked or, heaven forbid, ill as this great major wrong she has to be courageous and take a stand on - more vital than compassion, even!

The crazy is just too much.

goodness gracious me.

I have a 'WIP' that I haven't updated in over a year. I get the occasional email about it, and the reviews ask 'when are you going to update?' but I didn't know I was causing anyone OMIGOD pain, and also thwarting their ability to recover from personal tragedy....I though I was just a lazy ass who got distracted by going out and getting pissed a lot real life.

who knew?

Whoa, geez, okay. The original post is indeed wanky, but check out this comment by [info]athersgeo:

Sooooo. In your world, I can't suffer a debilitating back problem that prevents me from *working* for a week, never mind sitting at the computer for recreation purposes? I can't support my parents and attend my grandfather's funeral? I'm not allowed to lose inspiration and inclination because actually, yes, I AM unaware that there's anyone out there appreciating my WIP? Gee. Thanks. And here I was thinking that writing fanfic was a hobby I did in my spare time, WHEN I HAD ANY.

WOE. :_(
