Griping

So ladywenham left the spike fanfic fandom because some jerkwads got their panties in a twist because they didn't win Raison D'etre Awards? That's just not right. Guess what, a lot of people don't win. Sometimes other stories are more popular or they fit a popular niche. Get over it. No one deserves an explanation for why they didn't win. You didn't win. Are you twelve? (And if you are twelve... that's seriously not the way to behave). Hell, I haven't been nominated for a fanfic award since Season 5. That's life. It's a shame some people pestered ladywenham until she left. How sad.

On a different note -- damned Bit Torrents! I've been trying for a week now to download Ep 2 and Ep 3 of Rome. First, I got stuck on some hinky and strange torrent that downloaded more information than the actual size of the file and still claimed to only be 9% done. Then I wound up with a torrent that stuck on 99% but wouldn't go higher. It sucks! I want Ep 2 & 3!

And... ankle is still swollen. It's better. I can now walk without limping (much). I figured out though (with some thought) that the ankle I sprained is the same one where I tore the ligament in the ankle in high school, so I suppose I aggravated the old injury).

And to top everything else off, I've had an upset stomach all evening. *sigh* Is it the weekend yet?

Seems that things are blown out of proportion. Now I'm sad for everyone involved.

Sounds like the situation may be subjective as I've now heard/read three differing points of view on it. Such is fandom, I suppose.

Yeah, you are right. Like you, I hadn't seen all the sides yet.
