oh please! guffaws

[erastes]

Read this. 

I feel sorry for her that she actually thinks that she is  "considered to be that much of a threat, "  To what, pray?

*laughing so hard*  "the only way to silence me is to kill me"  wtf? Who's even listening to this loony?  The only way to kill me, dear Ann, is to kill me from the laughter. So keep it up - it's delightful. You might yet be lucky.

If I lived in such delusionland, that I considered that anyone of any great import was paying any attention in this tiny corner of author dom, I'd be signing myself into the local clinic.

I will not mention her again, she clearly gets too much juice from it

Um...whaa? Are you in the persecutin' business, now?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yup. Am considering changing my penname from Erastes to Torquemada.

*persecutes*

[vashtan.livejournal.com]

What TF is going on?

I mean, I broke ties with her myself because we were just so far away from each other in taste, and then she slagged me off on her LJ, claiming I haven't actually published anything commercial - but what's going on here?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm in her interwebz getting up her nose, for some reason. I don't haunt her space, someone just pointed it out.

[emmyjag.livejournal.com]

Ann Somerville is proof that some people are in this universe for the sole purpose of amusing me. Really. Somebody go give her attention. She's apparently wanting it.

[semioticwarrior.livejournal.com]

OT...love your icon. *guffaw*

[leatherdykeuk.livejournal.com]

wtf? Never heard of her, sorry.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Nod nod. Exactly. Smaaaaal corner of the publishy world.

[morgan-lowri.livejournal.com]

Huh?

Who is that? I miss all the good wank.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

You are better off missing it. I shouldn't have fanned the flames, I know, because there's nothing a paranoiac likes more, but it amused me greatly.

[dubaiyan.livejournal.com]

Which paragraph refers to you?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I think it's the bit about the authors who "manage to garner" favourable reviews... And the last part where she names me, of course.

[svilleficrecs.livejournal.com]

I don't understand, from her rant, what you're supposedly doing to her.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Trying to silence her, I think - only I don't know how I did, or when. By voicing my opinion, perhaps.

[adventurat.livejournal.com]

Dear heaven. What does this froot loop actually accuse you of, though? I mean, apart from disagreeing with her on the intarweebs, which... whatevah, paranoia-chickie. (She, not thee)

[nagasvoice.livejournal.com]

I <3 your lj icon. Best-written character in the movie, and of course completely wasted.

[melspenser.livejournal.com]

Does this all go back to that title business? Or am I thinking of something else. As ever, I'm confused...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I don't think so--I actually agreed with her about the title business. I'm not really sure what it is I've done THIS time.

[aliquoricegirl.livejournal.com]

Wow. Cry moar.

I mean, I sympathize with her if she feels hunted, that sucks. But seriously. The drama. It's too much.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Far too much.

This look like a job for the Butt Hurt Form:

I'm amused. I had no idea that being nice to someone when they comment at your blog, then reading their title and reviewing it because you like it, and then being nice when you encounter someone on the internet = copious ass kissing.

I want a t-shirt that says:

ERASTES KISSED MY ASS, AND I LOVED IT!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

*laughing so hard*

I love it! I'll have to have some printed - I wonder if Vistaprint will do them?

Damn me for liking good writing. Damn me!

[anderyn.livejournal.com]

Well, gee, just because I happen to have a reasonably good relationship with you (and have since before you got serious about this writing gig), I'm a sycophant and, ah, your internet bitch?

My goodness, I had no idea!

I havent' read any of her books and I have only started noticing her being flamy on Dear Author, but good lord. (Though if someone p*ssed off the Goldberg brothers, I'd almost think they had to have some good points.)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I'm failing as a Dominatrix!

I'd never even HEARD of the Goldberg brothers - who the divil are they?

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

Wait...have I stumbled into Sentinel fandom? That's just - I. Really, even if you perceive the world this way (and hell, even if the world was this way), wouldn't a professional author get the fact that it might be politic to not appear crazy in public?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming that it's something she can't help but do.

[suryaofvulcan.livejournal.com]

If I thought there was any chance of her listening to me, I'd give her the same advice as I once gave a friend of mine who changed jobs as often as she changed her knickers: if you have 'personality clashes' with so many different people, I'd take that as an indicator that it probably isn't them that have the problem.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

It's the one thing I remember from maths. The common denominator.

[the-sea-to.livejournal.com]

It is worrying that from the one post I looked at over on Smart Bitches, I know that this idiot is the passive agressive fuckwit of the century. My god! Could the braincell BE any smaller? Could the ego be ANY LARGER!?

And apparently you have your own tribe of Erastes's. May I join?

On a more serious note, how would you feel if I used Erastes as a pen-name from a young goodlooking Jesuit to Tomasino in the story. It works contextually. But would not want to upset you.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

You can join the tribe as long as you bring your own woad.

And sure!

[lusiology.livejournal.com]

Good lord. Her reply to you puts HP wank to shame.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thank God there's not a non-fandom Wank site.

[cynbaby.livejournal.com]

She just equals internet crazy. We've been doing battle for a few years now, over stupid silly shit and a fandom she left in the dust.

FUN TIMES!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

But the problem, of course, is with all of US.

[eledhwenlin]

Dude, WTF? O_o'

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I'm baffled too, truly.

[sleveen.livejournal.com]

Sweet merciful Christ - is she off her meds or just off her bloody trolly???? O__O

I think you took the high road. Go, you. :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't have said anything - she loves the attention, but it was too funny to ignore. Now she's claiming it was irony. Yeah. Right.

[zehavit-lamasu.livejournal.com]

AWWWW - But I love kissing your ass... can I please go on - purrrrrleeeze *bat eyelsahes*???

Although the fact we disagree about some stuff obviously means we are mortal enemies now ... which brings all my ass kissing plans to naught *sobs* ;_;

In other words - I am as baffled as most as to what she is actually trying to say *conf00zelated*...^^;;

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Mine name is Erastes Torquemada, you killed my review of Gerard and Jacques!

PREPARE TO DIE!!!

[kirby-crow.livejournal.com]

I see the wank but I'm still not sure what she's mad about. Is confuzzled!

[sinick.livejournal.com]

I see this person is aspiring to an Anne Rice level of Batshit.

[cynbaby.livejournal.com]

Actualy, she's gone over and above that.
There's a reason she left most of her fan work in the dust.

[crawling-angel.livejournal.com]

Help! I can't bend down to kiss ass in my tribal outfit...the headband keeps slipping and covering my eyes! *blindfondlefondle* Ahh, there you are, hehe.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

*accepts homage*

[enolabloodygay.livejournal.com]

Damn! I have no mind of my own - I can only parrot your opinions because I am of Erastes tribe. So 13 years of interesting discussions with you, where we may hold diametrically opposed opinions and share them fully and frankly, with the subsequent fallings-out and fallings back in again cos, yanno, we can actually DO that, being adults, counts for nothing, because someone, somewhere decrees it?

I don't think so.

Do you need to get a life? I think you have one. Does that person need to get a life? Definitely YES!

Or maybe a cat - they do tend to calm you down and make you feel all soft and fluffy. Not that I would ever wish her on a cat - any self respecting cat would leave instantly!

But thanks for the giggle and I shall now go paint on the woad, get the tribal tattoos, recite three times every morning 'Erastes is God' and prostrate myself in front of the cats (oh hang on, I do that anyway!) in homage to you.

Still giggling.........

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I knew you'd find it as funny as I did.

[mychael-black2.livejournal.com]

*bites tongue**HARD*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Best thing!
