Busted!

[tripperfunster]

Oops! Remember that horrid fanfic (matchmaker) that I drew "Snape in Tennis whites" for? Look, if you dare. Well, I posted it over on Deviant art, and the ARTIST FOUND IT! *heddesk*

She was thrilled with the artwork, but a bit non-plussed with my (and the other readers) reactions. "vomit?" she asked, "is it really that bad?"

Now, my intention was not to hurt anyone's feelings, but...erm....I just can't lie that well! So I said, "um...yeah. It was. But hey, don't stop writing. Lots of people don't like my art, it it hasn't stopped me."

*feels bad* .... *but not too bad*

Oh, poor woobie. I'm glad you told her to keep writing, though.

OH MY GOD, AHAHA. That's like SO busted, I would be...well you're kinda right; it's nothing to really get moritified over because it WAS badfic, but. It's like getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar - there's no denying it, LOL!!

OH Trip, fwahahaaaa. *petses you muchly*

And this is why Diviant art is the devil. (that and it kills dial-up)

BTW. you didn't get my email did you? I will post my adress in my journal on a filter so only friends can see it. -_-

We should have a draw off to see who can out squick the other sometime. We'll make the world a better place.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Nope, I got it. I'm mailing yours out today!!!!

[cnary-crem-dght.livejournal.com]

Okay! I didn't know since you didn't send me your address (so I can send you something in return!)

*This* is the reason that I only make fun of people in private e-mails and not in my LJ. Seriously, I'm amazed at how comments get back to people. This is supposed to be the world wide web, not Mayberry. Who the hell cares if I think something they did sucks?

*snicker*

I should think the gorgeous art made the criticism go down easier. XD

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, she NEEDED to know!

[scarletscarlet.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, poor thing. Hopefully it'll inspire her to keep trying to improve?

(It's also hilarious)

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

This story is priceless. I'm just dying to read the fic now.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Well...she linked me to more of her fic, in an attempt to prove she really could write.

...


...

Perhaps it would have been kinder to tell her to STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD!!

[schemingreader.livejournal.com]

Oh no!

She might have fans who like the stuff she does. I always figure there are people who don't like the way I write, but that the people who do would really hate them a lot if they told me not to write.

(And maybe the absurdity of the mpreg in the tennis whites was, um, intentional.)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha! I shouldn't be surprised. When ever I badmouth someone in real life, they are ALWAYS standing right behind me. ALWAYS!

Now she has asked me to remove the quotes from the artwork, and I'm not quite sure what I should do. I mean, I didn't link to her story, nor did I mention who the author was, so no one would go and flame her.

I'm not looking for an all out war, but honey, you put your shit out on t'internet, people can pretty much do whatever they want with it!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Sorry! I didn't email anyone back, because I was a tad overwhelmed with the response. Once I get all the art sent out, I'll go back and do it. (or, just use the return address on the one I sent you! :D )

And a squick-off? Honey, YOU'RE ON!!! *sharpens pencil*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think she's gone from thrilled (at the art work) to non-plussed (at my reaction) to embarassed (at everyone else's reaction.)

She insists that the whole fic was done for the lulz, and has linked me to more of her stuff, but man o man....my mst finger is getting itchy! :D

Now she wants me to remove the quotes from the artwork and link directly to her fic. ( I think...) She's a bit hard to understand, even when she's not writing mpreg.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Um..apparantly not. :I

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

yeah, but no one *thinks* they need to know! Ya know? =D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Let's hope it inspires her to take up knitting, instead. :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Well, if you promise to not flame her or leave neg. feedback, here it is! http://bored137654.deviantart.com/art/SSHP-MATCHMAKERS-RLSB-edited-61443752

And I'm only linking you here, because she actually left a link to the story in comments over on DA.

The one good thing about the fic is that its SHORT.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Actually, I checked out the feedback on her story, and it was overwhelmingly positive! *shudders*

Suddenly, I fear that I might have a very over inflated sense of how well I can draw.

*snicker*

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

*sporfles* ...especially at the "let's hope she takes up knitting" statement!
Oh, dear...

[accioslash.livejournal.com]

She insists that the whole fic was done for the lulz

*Rolls eyes* Uh-huh. Like you need to explain that you intentionally wrote bad!fic after the fact because otherwise people can't tell. I know some people (not specifically her) have tissue paper thin egos, but sometimes you have to know when to let something go. Hell, I *love* bad!fic and it's a bonus if it's mpreg bad!fic. I'd probably like it. Lots of people might like it. Okay, maybe not lots, but some. Or just her BFF. Or her cat, Mr Snuggles or something.

Anyway, kudos for you being honest and not back-pedaling once she called you on it. Frankly *I* wouldn't want you to link to my crappiest ficlet, but since she asked and most people I know who like bad!fic want links, I say go for it!

Well that piece is quite famous so I guess s/he was supposed to find it sooner or later. And it was nice of you to tell him/her to keep writing.
