Isn't THIS just peachy.

For some unfathomable reason, my computer displays itself sideways, and my mouse acts accordingly.

Welp. Nothing to do but use the school computers until my new laptop comes in.

Boy, this is a great start after a couple days Yuletide assignments have gone out.

I found this little gem from The Problem(s) With Fan Fiction:

If you’ve got crazy cool ideas for characters and relationships, don’t waste them in someone else’s world. Do you think Suzanne Collins would have been successful if she reworked her Hunger Game stories into works of Rugrats fan fiction?

Congratulations, author. You just shot yourself in the foot, 'cause now Hunger Games AUs in Rugrats fanfiction probably exists. Or will exist. I don't even like Rugrats, and the first thing I thought was, "Dude, now I wanna see Collins do dark Rugrats fic set in her own universe."

Is it me, or does a few of the anti-fanfic arguments seem misogynistic? "Ugh, women and their slash and talentless hacks masturbating over porn of someone else's characters! Stupid anime fangirls who crush over hot bishounen disrespect the author by writing fanfiction."
