The worst is I don't think this person realizes your response was from, hello, the webmistress. She's who time, money and energy go *into* AAS. Bah. She's stupid. We still love you *cuddles*
why does it feel like this person who says she goes to college is actually no older than the poor kids she supposedly tries to protect? It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
True. I guess I ought to just delete all her all caps posts. But it's just so ... horrifying. Dude, she's in college! *mind boggles*
I can't believe you noticed the pairing thing. I didn't realize anyone paid such close attention. What happened was that you saw a placeholder for a story that hadn't been archived yet (meaning I've got it in a "hidden section" of stories that I'm waiting to archive or waiting to get permission to archive). I finally figured out the MySQL query to list only the pairings (and authors, and times, etc) that already have stories in them. So you shouldn't get that "there are no stories in this category yet" message anymore.
The Spike/Janice is by Circe ... I think I'll go archive that now. It would certainly freak out "Guest." >:)
Yeah, stupid is the operative word, all right. Poor baby, do you get a lot of these? Let her take her dainty, all-caps self elsewhere, if she's not happy. Who needs her? (Once she makes up her mind if she's never coming back or not, that is--I'm getting whiplash, watching her vacillate.)
You're too good a person to let her sort get to you. Screw her and her type. ::hugs::
That's pretty funny. You know, you would think that they would understand that the more the Rabid Spuffies come in and post crap like that, the less likely you are to want to archive S/B fic.
do you mind if I add AAS to the link directory at Panfan?
Of course I don't mind; that would be great. Actually I tried to add it once before, but it ended up under "Actors" instead of "Fanfiction" for some reason. So, um, if you could fix that ... ?
The stupidity and narrow-mindedness of some people really does boggle the mind.
If she is so offended by other possibilities for Spike's sexuality, perhaps she should frequent a website that is aligned with her teeny, myopic view of the Jossverse.
OMG U M3AN THEYRE R S2REIS WIT SPIEK/XANDER IN THAM WTF OMG TAHTS SO SIK U R A FRAAK AND SO GAY GAY GAY U R GAEYR THAN SPIEK IN THOSA SIK GAY S2REIS ONLY HES NOT GAY SO UR NOT GAEYR THAN HIM UR JUST GAY LOL

Wah. Seen it and even formulated a reply. Couldn't post it, yet-- in the process of moving within my workplace building (message is brought to you by www.crappy-keyboards-and-dingy-old-rooms-r-us.com). But please, don't despair. You're just the best thing since sliced bread; don't let one idiot get to you. & :-( ::hugs::
*poke* I think it's funny. *prod* come on, Laura, smile. *poke* The world is full of daft people. Don't let them ruin your day. *tickle* Come on, give us a grin. And look at all the people who jumped to your defense, guns ablazin'... I thought about replying too, but what's the point. That Katy Pwerson is so dense, nothing will make a dent. Chalk it up as sheer comedy. *smooch*
Heh. It is rather amusing. But it bothers me that there are so many people like this out there. It reminds me that I live in a country where more than half the people think gay marriage should be illegal ... and then I just want to go hide in my room and never come out.
what is so pathetic is that she doesn't even realize how idiotic she sounds--i mean, she's trying so hard to articulate her ideas and come across as open-minded and above the rest of us, but she fails miserably. is it that difficult to proofread? notice the difference between her posts and the articulate posts of, oh, everyone else who responded. grr. arrgh.
not that you necessarily need more ego-boosting, but i have always been a fan of your site, and i still think it's one of the best archives out there, even with my bias towards spuffy stories. spike is spike is spike, no matter who he does. that's the premise of your archive and even the title of the site. i will willingly drink your poison any day...
Wow, Laura, that was lame. Glad to see she retracted and apologized. I also wanted to say that I think you handled the whole thing with aplomb. ::hugs::
Holy shit, man. That's some serious failure to take medication.
Beautifully handled, Laura. Though, you know, she's right. Spike isn't gay. He's totally, totally straight. Like an arrow, straight. Like a straight, straight, only slightly bent arrow. With a little bend in it. Maybe a squiggle. Okay, there was that one time at school, and then, well, Angelus, and now that Harris kid is, well, he's begging for it, isn't he? And there was Ramon Navarro.
