FAP Inanity

lls_mutantSometimes I hate people, and sometimes I love them. And FAP is such a wonderful place to find total idiots.
I was looking around on the CS R/S thread, because sometimes they have REALLY good points about cliches. (Heck, I've been known to post there about things I don't like.) And as I was reading, I found this charming statement:
I was on fanfiction.net, looking for Marauder fanfics (which used to be my favorite kind) and then I saw the fanfiction with the summary that went something like, "Remus and Sirius share a tent together. Things happen. A little funny, a little angsty, a little-er-sexy." I almost gagged. Without even reading the story, I left the author a review that went something along the lines of, "Get a life! You're making me lose respect for two characters I love: Sirius and Remus!"
Does it need a comment? Fortunately, LadyEowyn and Patil very classily (and yet, especially in Patil's case, firmly) replied to the poster about how that's NOT cool, despite the fact that both of them don't like the R/S ship. Much more effective, I think, coming from non-shippers than shippers.
In other real-life insanity, a stranger in the liquor store tried to get me to let her hold my baby yesterday. She was working there and I think she was just trying to help me (and she thought the baby was cute), but still- she was a stranger. There is just no way I am putting a six-month old baby into the hands of someone I don't know!
What's really sad is that I even had to be scared. :P
