There is a reason why I ought to really stop reading fanficrants  and its affiliate ffrantsrants , and that's because I think the top of my head is about to explode because of anger. This time, it's this lovely statement.

...it turns the act of writing from "Entertaining others doing something I like" to "Doing something I want."

And I sat back and wondered if hopefully this was a troll, not a real person. Excuse me? Doing something you want--here, writing--is no longer a valid thing for fanfiction? Oh, thanks for the heads-up. Not to mention the complicated reasoning (at this point, I'm not sure if it's even logical) that it's somehow now 'intellectually dishonest' to post stories for yourself alone. Not to mention having a typo per sentence, which didn't sit well with your pseudo-intellectual arguments and vocabulary.

Now, if you'll excuse me, dear ranter, I have to go find something less woefully misguided to read. Aaargh!
