Too long, didn't read? WHAT THE FUCK?

tl;dr

Okay -- this is just assinine.

Came across this on gmth's journal. And Gina, count me among those that had no fucking clue what the initials stood for either. *G*

Forget rude. There should be a Darwin Awards for stupid fucking fandom assholes.

Do you know how many stories I would have missed out on if I based my reading on length?

Fic is NOT a cock. Length does NOT matter.

I mean if something looks promising and you haven't the time, why wouldn't you just fucking bookmark?

If anything I'm more off-put by shorter fics, but Christ I read 'anything' that catches my eye.

Fuck, FIND me a 100,000 word Snack fic and I WILL BE ALL OVER THE MOTHERFUCKER!

So now I have to ask...

Is length (long or short) off-putting to a reader?

--P

ETA: Okay, I'm a dumbshit. I didn't read all the way down. Apparently it applies to comments not fics. But I'm with Gina, I wouldn't be surprised if someone didn't use this for fic either.

This has ZERO to do with fandom, but...

A friend and I were just discussing this over IM. What are your top ten tabletop games?

10.) Life; So like there's me in my pink plastic car (excuse me, cars plural) filled with kids heading into the poor house. WTF -- can I fucking spin again?

9.) Operation; The ONLY explanation for my having fucked up nerves. Buzzzzzz!

8.) Uno; Draw four MOTHERFUCKAH!

7.) Mille Bournes; It's French. It makes no fucking sense until you've read the directions FIVE times. What's not to love?

6.) Monopoly (LotR edition); Because who wouldn't want to own Rivendell and Lothlorien?

5.) Battleship; I totally used to cheat and move my ships :P

4.) Clue (Too bad there was no HP edition); Snape did it in the Potions lab...with Harry!

3.) Stratego; Fuck chess! I'll bet Ron would be good at this.

2.) Trivial Pursuit; 80's edition fersure! Like totally.

1.) Candyland; Simplistic as fuck but still so cool.
