Dude, are you fucking this up?

Does he still write?

*awkward Brandt laugh*

I'm honestly not sure. I assumed she was referring to her characters because she also ranted about how reading fan fiction about her characters was like reading sexually-explicit fantasies someone wrote about her daughter, but you might be on to something with the readers.

Racially, he's pretty cool?

Oh I understand why she doesn't like it, but I still think it's ridiculous of her to then claim fan fiction writers are doing the equivalent of seducing her husband. That's just hilariously bizarre to me.

Agreed!

I read excerpts of her comments on another discussion board. The gist I got is she thought it was out-of-character for Claire and that it would anger fans, which somehow then equaled "jumping the shark." I guess she thought the term meant angering fans and didn't realize it had much more dire connotations when applied…

When I read your first comment about Fassbender not being classically good-looking, I was ready to fight you over it, but I actually see what you mean now. There are a lot of blandly handsome men out there, but he definitely is too striking to be described that way.

I know my rights, man.

And they say he ran away! BRANDED!

Thank you!

Where did you read that one? It sounds hilarious!

Bahaha those scenarios are awesome! But no, my reality is much more mundane. I live in the middle of nowhere in Arkansas. There are enough hills and trees between my house and the broadcast antennas to wreck havoc. None of the major internet service providers will service this area, either, so people outside the…
