NO TIME

Drama everywhere. Not even all review drama. Will make updates once reviewing is caught up.

Seriously there is something wrong with people.

Some one googled you and got to Fan History.

After trying this myself, I got to an online store selling medical supplies at discount rates. Farla, clearly, you are the most (insert field here)-savvy person on the internet. I'm on to you.

I think I'm also a princess or something.

All of this is making me really curious. If you don't mind me asking, what is the origin of the name "Farla?"

[identity profile] farla.livejournal.com 2009-12-23 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I just liked the syllables. I read a book and one random name had been Fala, which looked pretty but doesn't sound right, so Farla.

I don't even follow fanficrants anymore. This was just local crazies on FFN, including one girl who will not stop talking about how not rude she's being and finally ended up reporting me on my forum to myself for swearing, followed by her sending me multiple PMs explaining she wants the conversation to end. (Someone did mention me reviewing over on Wank Report, but half the people I'm arguing with are very proudly stupid fourteen year olds, so I don't know why they bothered.) By the time I'm done typing this she'll probably have sent another one.

And someone else who took half my story and reposted it. I'm honestly more bemused by that one.

FanFiction.Net crazies are crazy. (They just don't seem as bad as LiveJournal crazies.)

The wank_report thing if they are minors is lulz, grudge stupidity as it will never make fandom_wank. And that's a severe case of not getting it to report you to yourself. When you run something, you can kind of make the rules yourself... and it is hard to convince a person that they are being rude by swearing if the rules that a person didn't prohibit that action. (I'm neurotic about my own rules. If I get caught breaking them on accident, I tend to self flagellate excessively and have other admins help me figure out how to make amends.) And even if that is the case, some degree of stupid.

The reposting is WTFery. Why did they repost it? Were they sporking or plagiarizing or...?

The nice thing about people on FFN is that they all seem to grow up eventually. Or go away, I don't really keep track.

I'm not even clear on what they thought they were doing

The repost is a halfway rewritten version by someone who reviewed the story twice. Considering the story is weird and has a lot of tiny things that are important, the result is a terrible mess. I'm leaning toward telling them to just credit me and ask permission next time, and that they really shouldn't pull this with anyone else.

Okay, this is Hikari again. Look, I apologized. I didn't want to cause wank or drama. I am on LJ and Dreamwidth and a bunch of other places too, you know.

I'm really sorry again, and I know I made a mistake with attempting to report the forum post, I didn't know it would send the report to you.

I apologized multiple times and even wished you well and said happy holidays, can you please leave me alone now that I'm leaving you alone? Thanks :)

Hi, Hikari. You seem to be a little distressed about all of this, but if you really are trying to end the whole thing and back out of the situation, you just need to know to stop. :) You say you're leaving Farla alone, but you even just left two comments here, so you really aren't. At the same time, Farla wasn't saying anything to you, just speaking OF you to someone (without mentioning your name), so there was no need for you to comment asking to be left alone.

I am not trying to sound rude at all, so I hope you don't think I am. I just thought I might be able to help!

Sorry, it was in response to the fact she's still mentioning it (in the post - not her reply), and it was kinda in response to her last forum post to me too, when I was also trying to back out then.

Can we please drop the subject completely so there's no further drama, it'd be nice if it wasn't mentioned again either? I don't even care about it anymore and I don't have time to reply anymore myself either so yeah after this I promise I won't, :) sorry again. Take care (you and Farla).

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST STOP POSTING!

(Anonymous) 2009-12-24 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, fine, (it'd be nice if you could stop replying to me too) sorry already! I'm leaving on an 11-day trip tomorrow anyway so you seriously won't be hearing from me again if you'll stop too. Please just stop talking about me after I've already deleted all my posts anyway. I apologize again, now please just let it go too. Thanks.

I'm not the one talking about how much I want the argument over and how I'm not continuing it and don't want to talk and I'm just posting to say I'm not posting again, okay wait I'm posting to say that was my last post wait I need to double post to explain to you I deleted everything and now another post to explain I'm really gone this time and wait you responded this demands more explanation on how very gone I am.

In fact, here's a fun challenge for you: if you can manage to not reply to this explaining you're not replying, I won't make a long post about the last few days and will just let the matter drop like you claim to desperately want.

*pout* Well, damn, I was looking forward to that.

Eh, really, this whole exchange pretty much is a better summary of events than anything I could actually say.

(Anonymous) 2009-12-23 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I mean it, I really didn't want to start any drama, and I'm sorry again. I do hope you have a good holiday.

You're kidding. Which story?

[identity profile] farla.livejournal.com 2009-12-23 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Ice.

Yeah.

Megapost on it tommorrow. Short version: Did I fail at communicating or are they just stupid?

[identity profile] ember-reignited.livejournal.com 2009-12-23 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no.

[identity profile] razorleaf.livejournal.com 2009-12-23 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)

Oh, I'm looking forward to this. *sits patiently*
