Anti Tallz Is De Langest Ster

This little troll has been launching campaigns to get me off of FanFiction. Not only did he spell my name wrong; he also invented numerous 'facts' about me and posted them on his forum. Apparently, some people are gullible and believed these facts, so I'd like to clear up a few things

I am straight

No, I do not have severe anger issues

No, I am not gender confused, either

I am also not a midget; this was a joke created by DNAPD and Lord Kelvin

I do not have Bipolar Disorder

I do not hate Irish people

I do not hate any of the members of LU, regardless of how much 'evidence' the troll has gathered to say otherwise

I am not a woman born into a man's body

I am not and have never been in a relationship with the admin or any of the mods at LU

I do not have a pancake phobia

I am not a hermaphrodite

The troll did not force me to leave FanFiction

No, I am not in love with Que Quieres Sparkling Boy

No, I am not in love with Don Saurus, either

I am not a side account of Aron

I do not have a violent hatred of Lord Kelvin and Sputnik Writer

I do not strip down to my underwear in bus stations to get attention

I am not intensely afraid of coconuts

What do I like?

Hmm. I'll get back to you on that one. Of course, there are things that I like, but typing up an entire list would be ridiculous.

What do I dislike?

That's a much better question.

Fan fictions published into novels

What do I do here?

That's a common question. If I don't have any stories uploaded, what do I do? That's simple; I hang around the forums and converse with people.

You see, I have uploaded stories in the past. Well, one-shots, really. I took them down and didn't upload any more for the simple reason that I hate writing fan fiction. The settings, characters and character backgrounds are already written for you. How boring! I'm unable to receive any real sense of accomplishment from finishing a fan fiction, as I know the work is not entirely my own.

You see that bullet point further up on the page? About fan fictions being published? As far as I am concerned, scribbling down a story based off of somebody else's characters and plots, and then changing the names of the characters to get it published, is a form of plagiarism. Now, I have nothing against people writing fan fiction! Go ahead! Have fun! I just dislike it when those pieces of work are then passed off as entirely original pieces.

You may well be asking yourself why I am even here, if I dislike it so much. Believe me, if not for the forums, I wouldn't be here. My writing account is on FictionPress. Nevertheless, sadly, the forums on FictionPress are far less busy than those on this website. So, here I am!

Which forums do I frequent?

I'm glad you asked. The forum which takes up most of my attention is the Literate Union forum. I have formed some close bonds with a couple of people there. I enjoy the generally light-hearted stream of banter, as well as the 'no-nonsense' attitude towards... well, everything. I am a moderator and member of LU, as well, and I hope to remain as such until the day when Georgasaurus (or whatever she changed her penname to this week) and Bitter Sea Light grow tired of me!

I will often poke around to anti-flaming forums, particularly ones bent on destroying LU, to put across my opinion. If you're civil with me, I'll be civil with you, regardless of your stance on flaming.

I sometimes venture over to Critics United to talk to a couple of their members, though I am not a member myself. They hold some very interesting conversations, rather than a lot of the forums riddled with idle one/two liner posts. It makes a change to be able to have an in-depth discussion without the topic unexpectedly changing to the Edward-Jacob debate.

I used to be a moderator at Lurker's Paradise, some time before it was deleted. Due to some issues with the admin, I drifted away from the forum a few months before its deletion.

Am I a flamer?

No. I am most definitely not a flamer.

'Flaming is hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users, often involving the use of profanity.'

When I review a story, I do not use profanity; I also do not insult the author. My critique is directed solely at the author's work. If I feel that something could be improved, I will politely point it out and offer suggestions. If I feel that a particular phrase or sentence stands out in a good light, I will comment on it.

Personal FAQ

"Why do you hang around with flamers if you don't like flaming?"

I, personally, do not like to flame. I have the sense to realise, though, that my opinions are not shared by everybody else. If you avoid everybody with different opinions to your own, you will find yourself a very lonely person.

"Have you ever flamed anybody?"

A long time ago. I was more of a 'harsh concritter' than a flamer.

"What made you join LU?"

The people, at first. Most them are a very intelligent, friendly bunch.

"Do you ever troll?"

In the sense of going out my way to upset somebody over a trivial matter, no, I don't. However, if somebody trolls me (for example, the forum created specifically to 'banish' me from this website by posting so-called evidence to make me look insane), I will most likely troll them back. It would probably be limited to 'trolololols' and daft pokes at the original troll.

"Do you think you're awesome?"

This was a genuine PM I received. It amused me. Assuming that they meant to ask if I think I'm God's gift to FanFiction, my answer would have to be 'no'.
