Who I write like meme

[elderwitty]

Either this is hopelessly unscientific...or am I just my own little army of one?

Okay, so...hopelessly unscientific it is. skaredykat forwarded me the info that this is a scam to get you to boost Google ratings for a vanity publisher. Or to get you to use a vanity publisher. Either way = ew! Please to not be following the links. If you want to know who you write like, I am more than capable of giving you some random writer's name after lightly perusing any of your work. Links to stupid site have been sanitized for your protection. (And retitled, for your amusement.) :D

Oops, mecurtin reports don't use "I write like" -- it is a web scam, and recommends removing the code/banners. (*makes "sorry to rain on funny meme" face*)

[elderwitty]

Yeah, I saw the blurb and noted that it's a site that wants to sell you shit. I ignored that and plugged in my next set of words anyway. Didn't think about the Google hits implications.

Although, it is good to know that there's no basis for their accusation that I write like that Twilight hack. :grin:

I'll report it back to whose journal I saw it in, and leave a warning on the post. Stoopid scammers can't leave us alone. GrrArgh!

(*man, that's a funny face*)

Hey, I'm working on something I think you'll enjoy. Intrigued?

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Scammers are yucky. I do not want my random clicking of pretties to support them. But -- phew on S. Meyer allegation! :)

(*jumps up and down*) intrigue me, intrigue me, please!

[elderwitty]

Re-read this entry and report back, please. :hee:

I haven't even read her work and I can tell she's a hack! That's how big a hack she is. What a relief to know that it was just random 1s and 0s. :>

Remember where I said I was up to a list of 20?

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm... (*is intrigued*) You are considering a New Themed List of h/c by category SGA stories...?

[elderwitty]

Not so much a list as an amusing entry aimed mainly at you, with subtypes (and puns).

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Ooooooo... (*is very, very intrigued*)

[elderwitty]

I just have to figure out one more story before I post it...and I'm refusing to go to the sgastoryfinders.

Why? I'm ornery.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Being ornery is a right! :)

re: Meyer

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Now I'm being mean, but, um, possibly my favorite quote about that series: "Reader, I hurled."

Though I liked this and this.

Re: Meyer

[elderwitty]

Those were fun! Especially the 'hurled' one. Makes me even more glad not to have read them. I'm a bad one for finishing the fic no matter how badly written it is, 'cause I keep thinking, "It has to get better, right?"

I'm often wrong, but still I believe.

Re: Meyer

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Yes/alas, all of that sounds so familiar...

(Though very occasionally just reading badfic for the badfic can be fun.)

Re: Meyer

[elderwitty]

If you really want to wallow, read reviews. No matter how bad the badfic fics, there are always some who will praise it fulsomely.

I, reader, hurl.

Re: Meyer

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

taste, it ain't universal...

(But remember, my love for any and all SGA stories featuring unicorns is rational, sane, and tasteful, whereas yours (in the grand, universal "you equals anyone not me" sense) for SGA stories involving, say, sex in a puddlejumper is creepy and disgusting.)

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Also, hahaha, before you remove the banners entirely, maybe consider asking busaikko what she did to just modify the code in hers, if our brain-twin thingy works for sense of humor? (*is laughing very hard*)

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

That will teach me to reply from inbox without scrolling up for you *as well* -- looks like great minds (in this case, busaikko and you) think alike! lol again...

[elderwitty]

I'm honored to be included in any group that she's in. :>

I just wish I'd thought of her author modifier, too. Hmm, maybe I'll steal her idea and credit her in the same breath?

(Watch this space for another edit.)(Or the space above, anyway.)

[elderwitty]

I changed my mind about the edit in the middle of it.

How do you like it now?

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

I like it a lot! (Also, am very entertained that the debunking and banner-code-modifying of the meme now potentially provides even more entertainment than the actual meme did, hee.)

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

eep, you put my name up top -- really, I'm just relaying mecurtin's words of wisdom!

[elderwitty]

Yes, but you're the one who told me. OWN IT! :grin:

I'm answering in random order.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

(*eeps again*)

overrated so linear are conversations!

[elderwitty]

I think we should start a meme (I hope you know how to do that...'cause I have no idea) to let folks show how they've displayed their disdain.

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Alas, I do not know. (I think one might need these strange things called "influence" and/or "online social network"?)
I did actually comment on the PSA post with links to the entertaining banner modifications from you two, but then I deleted it out of worry of being rude(r than usual)...

[elderwitty]

What? How is it rude to amuse with antics that defuse the refuse that skews our views?

Undelete, you! (Or re-enter. Whichever.) I think it will cleanse the palates of those who feel they've been gullible by just following the meme link-y. It's good to mock the scamster.
