Really?

[keiramarcos]

I asked myself, how many times can I bitch and complain about reader entitlement before I start to bore myself? 

On a for real note, donating to Rough Trade or to the Wild Hare Project doesn't equal any sort of ownership on your part. I appreciate the much needed donations as it keeps everything running but that doesn't mean you're entitled to a fucking thing in regards to the works produced there.

For fuck's sake.

Dude, seriously? Wtf is wrong with people. *head desk x infinity*

[azurehart]

That level of entitlement can be seen from space. FFS, the authors don't owe you anything no matter how many comments you leave, money you donate, burnt offerings, or offers of sexual favors.

[esteefee]

I would say the sexual offers are entitlement in and of themselves. :p

[keiramarcos]

They'd might have had better luck asking for head considering they asked me to make them a PDF of the entire contents of Rough Trade before the clean-off for the next challenge.

holy fuckballs. can I have a solid gold toilet with that?

I just made the Lucy Ricardo shocked face.

Really makes me wonder about people, you know? It's not just entitlement; it's selective reading and memory. Oh, and "the rules don't apply to me". Show some respect, people.

Sad fact of life...people suck.

You'd think with as often as you remark on stuff like this, people would get the message. Yesh... I know the one thing I'd love to see you do one day will likely never happen, so I content myself with rereading on my computer... but oi vey! don't go demanding shit from generous authors giving you fiction for free!

[keiramarcos]

Okay, I'm curious. What would you like to see me do?

[belle_meri]

I would dearly love for the Ties That Bind series to be put into ebook form so I can add it to my kindle for really late night reading when my insomnia hits. :) I love that series and am impatiently waiting for more.

[keiramarcos]

Ah. Yeah, probably not. I put out ebooks once and the ended up on a pirate site and the assholes didn't even link to my site!

[belle_meri]

That's kind of what I thought. I still have a couple of the ones you did release that I read really late at night on my Paperwhite when I can't sleep. I just never acquired a tablet and the laptop's just a tiny bit too big to take to bed. *laugh* So, yeah, I know I want'em but I understand why I can't have'em.

There are asshats everywhere...

[purrfus]

Too many people suck in none of the good ways.

Thank you for venting instead of smashing and or strangling. I imagine you as much to pretty(and mouthy)to enjoy prison.

lol

entitlement

[annieglennie]

people are crazy! and rude! I am reading JD Robb's new Dark in Death and it centers on an author who talks about readers sending her plot ideas and criticism about her characters. It of course devolves into murder but WTF it happens all over. What is wrong with people. I love Rough Trade, Wild Hare and your site and enjoy everything and am so grateful for writers sharing their craft. Thank you thank you thank you. Annie

I loved the new Robb book.
