Minor Fanfiction Wank
I think I'm getting into a bit of a pissy mood lately. I'm in a fandom which is rife with Mary Sues, self-inserts and so on and so forth ("aren't they all?" the peanut gallery helpfully exclaims). Unfortunately I seem to be getting a tad snippy in my reviews, and while I enjoy the thought of crushing some suethor's ego with a well-aimed barb, it kind of makes me feel bad later on that I didn't just restrain myself and do my usual Mr. Spock like impression in the kinds of reviews I usually leave (So instead of writing "Your fic is a fucking trainwreck of a Mary Sue littered upon the wastes of your fertile lack of creativity", I write "You have a Mary Sue character which makes your fic poorly set up and not well-executed, etc and so on.").

So, is this a sign of burnout or just displacement of moodiness? Heh.

End minor wank.
