Not to harp on this VALL thing, but day-amn. You know, it takes A LOT to piss me off. Partially because I'm too brain-damaged to care about a lot of stuff. ARGH.

Watch as they call themselves elitists because...they don't like self-inserts. Well how do you do, you guys are, like, totally special and smart and stuff. See Bucky(Thunk) say she'll be posting a new Trigun fic soon, because deleria, the super awesome author, got her hooked! See member RevVampyre's sig, which not only involves a quote about alcohol, but an illustration of Kenshin villains which includes a tempestuous shot of a woman draped across her beau's lap!

And also, see as dearest Tenshi Sasher holds up that American standard of "Violence good! Sex bad!"

Shit. I need to scream at someone about this, and I can't. Dammit.

[EDIT]

I beg the question - when you see "NC-17," what do you think is contained therein? Whether it be at the theater, on cable, on FFN, whatever. Because I always kinda understood that it meant sex. But a whole lotta the people here have the reaction of, "OMG, I was reading this NC-17 fic, and then there was a SEX SCENE! It made me squinch my eyes shut, because ew, sex is gross and I don't need to know every detail!!!!!!"

So apparently to be elite is to dislike crappy fic. My, how standards have fallen.

VALL? Their acronym is VALL? They shall pay for sullying my good name. Perhaps I'll shoot off an email proclaiming them all whores who are going to hell, that would be a delightful way to screw with their heads. And Deleria writes Inuyasha fic too? Is nothing sacred? Oy.

*shrugs* Leave them their delusions. It's all they've got. As for the rest of us - well, I don't know about you, but I'm too busy appreciating smut to give them one iota of my attention.

And I appreciate you appreciating smut, as it leads to filthy trash we can all enjoy.

Huh

You know what gets me about all that shit? The people who say they're Legato/Knives fans.

So basically, reading about Meryl and Vash doing the dirty is OH SO WRONG AND AGAINST THE BIBLE, and yet reading stuff where Legato is snogging on Knives (or doing more) is fine?

Could someone PLEASE explain the logic to me?

I suppose kissing is okay, but socking cock gets you kicked RIGHT out.

Another thought--I haven't spent much time at those boards but one of the posters has spent a great deal of time IMing me lately, and I've noticed that she seems to have a SERIOUS love/shame thing going on with the KxL. Like, she admits to liking it, but then worries about "dragging people into yaoi" who wouldn't like it otherwise and such. Like she can't admit that she just likes it and was not herself "enticed" into it. Sometimes I just want to say "Look, I know you touch yourself while you read, get over it." But I'm only sometimes pure evil.
