When my Dad died, he and Mom had been married 56 years. They don't make that kind of commitment these days.

It's so revealing as to what they really truly think about women. They really do think women are lying shiftless whores who can't be bothered to keep their legs closed———and yet they never criticize men for trying to burrow between those figurative limbs, you know? They think sex is dirty and disgusting and ergo women…

Like a lot of people who rationalize away their defense of somebody loathsome, you minimize every action. It's telling. Her fans are of various ages. Her defenders are her own age——-thirty- and
forty-something women. You make excuses for why she won't apologize——-because people are mean to her. This presumes injustice.…

I suspect you don't care about anything that inconveniences you.

She's never apologized. There's also laptop gate and Crystalwank, during which her fans viciously attacked a dying woman while Claire did nothing about it. She could have stopped it; she could have done a lot. She did not.

Yeah, well, I like my monsters genuinely frightening. Having a werewolf for a boyfriend, for example, just seems like you'd wind up with a boyfriend with PMS. Plus it's the worst features of having, say, a pet and a boyfriend. Crab? Fleas? Herpes——and distemper?

What is this?

Yeah, kids that age....sorry, they just seem incredibly young to me.

Yeah, I remember the phrase "pavement bellow" and it took me forever to figure out that they WERE that stupid to prove me right. I also had some shitty right wing nut job write me into one of his shitty books after I banned him for bashing rape victims on my blog. His writing is punishment enough. That and his obvious…

Christ, you're one of those people who got a trophy just for having a pulse, aren't you?

You're not a good troll. The alternative is that you are a horrible person who thinks stealing is okay if other people profit from it.

Stealing sure is hard.

God, the way she's sitting there is just so.....

Heh. Actually, somebody invented that word on my blog. I was being chased around by a bunch of horrible ficcers who decided the way to get back at me for giving them a bad review was to write a RPfic with me in it. Complete with even more stunning shitty grammar.

When you consider Draco was about, what, 14? when she created that trope......yeah, I have nieces that age. The boys in that age group..... Well, remember Mary Kay Letourneau and the boy she molested? Not that much younger. The leather pants thing is just creeepppeeeeee.

They're Frankenfic——-not an original part in them.

I AM being sarcastic, but not where you apparently think I am. You DO realize there's a shit ton more characters than the ones you've identified, right?

People need to get over it so you can be more at ease with her horrible actions? Apparently if you get away with something that makes it okay.

You're saying then that only sooper special peopke can read or enjoy or be reflected in fiction, then.

Well, what people want is something original and exciting, too. Clare may not be outright plagiarizing, but damn did she use every possible familiar trope there was. Just once I'd like to read a story about an ordinary person who doesn't have some soooper sekkrit talent, identity, or skill.
