I never thought the trolls would find my journal to be of any interest, but apparently I was wrong. Time to friend-lock it, I guess.

Please reply to this screened post if you wish to be added to my friend-list.

ETA: A brief note - I'm rather uncomfortable with lurkers, so I periodically trim my f-list. If I add you to the f-list, I expect you to comment every now and then.

An open letter to spoof.com, itellas.com and other sleazy scum-bags:

Thanks to dregs-of-the-earth operators like you, I have just had to change my (unlisted) cell phone number. No one, and I repeat, NO ONE, should be able to put SOMEONE ELSE'S VALID PHONE number on a Caller ID.

I'll certainly be adding my complaints to the ever-growing list of pissed-off individuals who now support the Truth in Caller ID Act. For the latest information on this bill's progress, see: Truth in Caller ID Act

No Love,
Lav

Chapter One - Shrine Time

Back in January, I posted this over at iy_flashfic for parsnip_chan. She felt it needed a more definitive ending, and so did I, but I was in a huge slump at the time. Since I'm trying to kick my muse in the pants these days, I thought I'd finally revise and finish it.

Okay, so I think I've got this figured out now...

ETA: This hasn't updated; I'm at Level 4. Also, I desperately need children (it's much too late to do anything about the honesty part).

I've trimmed the f-list a bit, just because my LJ time is limited these days and I want to focus on reading the posts of those close to me. If I've dropped you from the list, it's because we rarely speak anymore; nothing personal.

Dear Inu-Yasha Fandom In General -

It's so nice to know that the wank continues, even when I'm too busy to enjoy it. It thrills me to no end to realize that there will always be bad!fic, diva-fits, overblown author-egos, canon purist-vs-alternate wars, 'ship wars and snarking...and that's just on the normal days. On a really good day, you get defriending, community-banning, deleted posts and tightened f-locks.

I love every part of you. Don't ever change.

Lavender

PS - If you've never read Sharyn Mccrumb's Bimbos of the Death Sun, you must. It is the best unintentional treatise on fandom ever written.

Son of PS - And yes, I stand behind every comment I've ever made at truckstop_sushi. Keep in mind that there are people out there who think MY writing belongs at the truckstop as well, and they may be right. I don't take it personal - it's just fandom.

I updated at the following locations:

Letters Chapter 11 at FFN

Letters Chapter 11 at MMO

Ack! So busy!

I posted The Spider and the Fly over at iy_flashfic. Hope you like it, Belle!

Will take time to catch up on LJ and read and review other flashfics tomorrow. Right now, my bed is calling my name...
