Ups and downs

"A Taste of Knowledge," a Commander Cliff Cody story is now off to Zombiality 2.
I am please that I finished it in time for the deadline.

OTOH, got smacked by male privilege.
I was contacted on AIM by one Jeremy who asked if I wrote fanfiction. I said I used to. He was looking for someone to write one. I apologized, said I was on deadline for a vampire apocalypse novel. he signed off with "Bye, ASSHOLE!"

So, apparently because I will not write him fanfic (in an unspecified fandom) because of paid work, he feels he has the right to insult me.

I'm having a lesbian separatist commune day, apparently. Anyone for some empowering lemon bundt?

Oh yes, please, where do I get in line for that????

Good grief.

And ignore paying work that is due TONIGHT!

I'd invite you to the commune, but i seem to recall you're male. Have some cake through the gate.

Male? Not me, mate, although if you could spread that rumor so employers could start forking over that extra .25 on the dollar, I'd really appreciate it. Now pass the cake, sister! =D

This Jeremy guy is kind of legendary in certain fanfic circles. This is what he does. Contact people demand fic to his specifications and then get ridiculously pissed when they refuse.

It's... not personal. This is his "thing".

Here, have some empowering lemon bundt and join the commune.

I'm in a "men are jerkwads" kind of mood to start with.

Congratulations, you've been Jeremied!! He wanted me to write something very extreme involving Remus Lupin Ron Weasley and a zucchini. I too am, apparently, an asshole.

Anyone fancy a quick game of squash?

(I... I'm sorry. I tried to resist it. I really did. I failed...)

*giggles* I honestly can't blame you.

*snicker*

We never even got to fandom. I said I don't write fanfic anymore.

"but professor Lupin, are you sure a marrow actually belongs there?"

Oh Jeremy. Funny to think he's still going. Like the Hat guy? Have you seen him? He pings with something like "I say, old bean, have you seen my hat?" and his username will be something like "gonewiththehats" or "allhatsonthewesternfront". Very peculiar.
