Over at girlgenius_lab on LiveJournal, midnightchemist vents about being laid off and hating the world. The person then decides to use this opportunity to vent their frustrations about Girl Genius.

( I have been a fan of Girl Genius since the time it was only on dead trees - over ten years ago. Quite frankly, and I have been thinking this for a while now, this story is going nowhere, and nowhere fast. How long have we been in Castle Heterodyne? More importantly, how much longer are we going to be here? At this rate, it will be way past volume 20 before we ever see anything outside Mechanicsburg )

This is crossposted as a comment on the Girl Genius comic account as well as midnightchemist's own LJ. So far, there are no responses. On the other hand, there are 42 comments and counting on the girlgenius_lab post, the second of which points out the irony of the situation.

You are asking them to basically fire themselves and hire somebody else. After complaining about your own life sucking because you were fired.

There are calls for balletion, a tl;dr, and even some expressions of sympathy.

Apparently, this isn't the first wank this person has been involved with in girlgenius_lab, they posted in their own journal that they've been banned before from the comm.
