Let me make something clear. If you're helping me work through a fic - and god knows I'm high maintenance when it comes to betas - don't ever, EVER, EVER pass on my fic to someone else to check. EVER.


I hope that's fucking clear.


As a result of that, I have defriended [livejournal.com profile] satsuma77 and quit as a mod at [livejournal.com profile] fueledbynoodles. I have learned the hard way, recently, not to keep the people I can't trust around me. I just won't tolerate it.


So. Please think twice before you betray me, if you wish to keep my friendship.

I'm fine, aside from being absolutely livid. It's not the first time something has been done to piss me off (like tantuming that Welsh people shouldn't be allowed to wear Welsh flags to Stereophonics gigs at Wembley) so I figured that was the final nail.

But thanks, though. How are you?

Fair enough!

I'm keepng things firmly on the QT at the moment as I'm recovering from a chest infection I had throughout Christmas. Other than that everything's fine :)

:( Aw, dude. Get better soon, chest infections are awful.

I haven't seen you in forever.

Thanks! Well, I'm letting the antibiotics work their magic now :)

It is somewhat strange that we haven't seen each other in so long - I'm only living on Holloway Road now, as well. Bad form!

We shall have to rectify this in the coming months!

How's Joanna?

Totally!

Joanna's doing okay :)

Was she unsure of something that she was beta-ing (like a grammatical issue) or was it that she had someone who didn't want to wait for your finished copy to be published and so she used her position as beta to hook that person up?

I'm sorry Rosie. I know I haven't been on AIM lately, but you're always welcome to email anything along. I love you, feel happier soon all right?

She was trying to prove me wrong about something. But irrespective of the reason, I'm really pissy about my fics, as you know. I generally hate them until I've actually declared them done (and usually for a while afterward) so it pissed me off quite a lot.

In addition to other stuff... it was quite enough for me.

Oh hon, I'm so sorry. :( *hugs*

*hugs* Rest assured I wouldn't stand for anyone passing my fic on, not even for a second, and therefore you can feel safe in the knowledge I will never, ever do that to you (or anyone else for that matter.)

Thanks, hon. I know I got Lin to check Rules for you, but that was kind of different.

I don't even know who the fuck this person is, never mind the attitude I got with it.

You didn't pass Rules onto Lin, you asked me if I wanted to and I emailed it to her. That's totally different as far as I'm concerned.

And yes, yes I am still awake. But I really am going to bed now.

Yikes :| Getting fic before its completion is a privelege. Not once in all my years of reading friends fic have I ever even contemplated showing someone else their work. It's like invasion of privacy. Writing is personal.

That's just uncool.

I'm really touchy about my work, as well, so it pisses me off at the best of times - but the intention was to prove me wrong about something, through someone I don't even know, so yeah. Given other things, recently, I've had quite enough.

Hi! Hope you're ok. As the girl who wore the welsh flag in wembley I sympathise!

For what it's worth, I went absolutely fucking scatty at her for that.

To say that Welsh folk shouldn't take Welsh flags to see proudly Welsh bands at Wembley because "it's our national stadium" and therefore disrespectful (which was the actual argument I was given) was one of the more ludicrous and offensive things I've heard in the last year. And I'm not even Welsh.

Yep, cos no-one wears flags from any nation to Wembley at any other time to support anyone...
She's been doing alot to alienate a great deal of people recently, and seems to think its everyone else's fault.

I can't speak for anyone else, really. I just know that I have to draw the line somewhere.
