    I have learned that peoples of the internets (not you guys, I love you all ) are inept asses when it comes to fanbases. But I couldn't help but rile their jimmies for a moment, and they come a wielding there epic poor keyboarding skills. Long story short it is fun for about 10minutes, then you go why are they so stupid? Honestly I was trying to have a bit of fun, and they shat their collective panties. The moral to this story is, don't poke fantards, they lack the ability to reason and logic.:superlaugh:

    I think they deserve to get hit by a vroom vroom, beep beep. Stupid idiot fanboys (and fangirls) not a lick of sense in the lot of 'em I tells ya. :superlaugh:

    Oh, the J. K. Rowling fans, but it is all better now. :superlaugh:A wonderful human being came and got my back. :supergrin:I knew that rich twat stole her story from somebody else, I just couldn't remember who it was and the title of the series. But Then just a few moments ago, a lovely person appeared out of the blue with the answer to that one. Also who would say that shitty writers don't get published? Cause their seems to be a plethora of evidence pointing the opposite direction. E. L. James for example....And don't you know that I am jealous of her bad writing style. Personally I would rather be unpublished with a good writing style, than rain over the world with a shit style, flat characters, and piss off an entire community of people. :superlaugh:

    Would you not agree? :supergrin:

    No. If I wrote one bad but extremely successful work, I could retire on the money and spend the rest of my life writing whatever the hell I wanted.

    While I admire your spunk, you have earned the drunk pony of shame sir.

    It's a net gain. You'd have a much larger reach for your work than you'd likely ever get without it.

    Sooooooooooooo on the subject of JK Rowling. I did some digging and I found out that Russia and China have an entire back log of Harry Potter books we've never heard of.

    Allow me to share with you all my findings.

    HARRY POTTER AND THE LEOPARD-WALK-UP-TO DRAGON

    . After getting caught in a sweet and sour rain, Harry turns into a fat, hairy dwarf. To recapture his magical powers, he teams up with an old wizard named Gandalf to find a mystical ring, kicking some serious dragon butt along the way. Essentially, the anonymous author took a bunch of scenes from The Hobbitand swapped in Harry Potter and his friends for Tolkien’s characters

    Dear Russia and China:

    Japan called, they want their weirdness back. “Only we may produce things that make no sense whatsoever to non-Japanese people!” they say.

    Hey cats...I'm really dismayed by the continued absence of the Debate Room. Where the heck am I supposed to point out how stupid everyone but me is? :meh:

    I wanted to post this in the Lounge buuuuut since it's still currently MIA/AWOL...

    I think over the last few months, I've found myself maturing a little on an emotional level. Things that used to get me steaming pissed off for days on end doesn't really have that bad of an effect on me anymore. Sure it still stings, but I'm not in a tizzy about it. My theory is that I've begun to realize that I get to decide my emotional state, not outside forces. Only I get to say whether or not I should be offended. And that power has got to be one of the greatest, most liberating power of all.

    So remember that, ladies and gentlemen. You alone may decide on your emotional state, no one else gets to control it or have any say on it whatsoever. And no, you're never too old to learn something new.

    What song(s) would work well in telling us about your WIP(s)?
    Here in order would be the two that sum up my novel and sequel.

    I miss going to the gym and getting a good workout in. I never did it every day though.

    When I had a gym membership I almost never went. What works for me is exercising at home using Xbox Fitness, alternating days of strength training with adjustable dumbells and varying intensity cardio workouts (more often now high intensity mixed martial arts). I have no commute, and thus no time to change my mind. It's now incorporated seamlessly into my morning routine: get up, feed cats, coffee, workout, shower.

    A gym is many people's favorite charity: an organization they can donate money to instead of having to actually exercise. A gym is a place to stand around showing off one's fashionable sports outfits, and perhaps flex one's biceps at a member of the opposite gender (if one is heterosexual) or same gender. A gym is a place to develop a dominant submissive relationship with a sadistic trainer. And if one is seriously out of shape, a gym is a place to in a crowd practice one's invisibility skills.
