Today was an Ikea day. You know how that goes.
I told Amber this story today:
So earlier this week I cruised by one of the Borders going out of business for some half priced books. I realize suddenly, as I'm clucking over my Salman Rushdie, that OH SHIT COMICS! I trundle over to the comics shelf only to find it completely denuded of anything I'd ever ever buy. I say something along the lines of "damn, everything's gone."
SUDDENLY this totally stereotypical male, middle aged comics geek pops up with TWO HUGEASS (plastic, not his own may I add) bags and says "HAHA, THAT'S BECAUSE I BOUGHT 'EM ALL!"
This guy was lingering in the store to pop out at anyone who wanted to buy discounted TPBs to be all BOOYAH, SUCKAH, I FUCKED YOU SO HARD HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just stared at him in utter shock with the Avengers book I was perusing dangling from my hand while he pulled a couple of books out and showed them to me "BATGIRL, HA! JLA: CRISIS, HA!" and so on.
That's the kind of shit that happens to me on a daily basis. I didn't beat the guy senseless, sorry the story doesn't end in Spartacus-like ultaviolence. I just bought my Rushdie and food writing memoirs and trudged off to get a bunch of vaccines. Yes, I was denied comics AND had to get some pretty hellacious shots. PITY ME, MOFOS.
Anyway, I was going to be a contrarian about this, but I feel kind of like a shithead now, so:
I decided I'd back my journal up on another service so my fic isn't lost into the ether (I toyed with the freedom that would give, tbh) but Ao3 seems needlessly complex (as in I'd have to upload my fic story by story...uh fuck no).
Guess what? Both ethrosdemon AND my real name (let's get real, everyone knows it and calls me that, so why not) ARE FUCKING TAKEN WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL! Who name-squatted on my fucking lj name????????????? WHY? Fuck you, grudgewankers.
Help me, what should I name my dw journal? Let me be completely frank, I will only crosspost fic there until this ddos thing is sussed, I won't be crossposting my other posts or moving over there. I won't be linking my dw posts to my lj fic post even though moving the fic to dw fucks up deliciousing. I JUST CANNOT BE ASSED TO DO THIS SHIT. It's fanfic. The day I get a check for it I will stop being such a grump. (Hey, did I mention my laptop was swallowed by a sinkhole? No more fic until there's a paypal campaign to get me a new one, jerks!)
