moon_dancingWell, I'm sure that everyone knows of the latest going-on's (did I just
make that 'word' up?) at ff.net. And all I have to say to that is, bullshit. That is bullshit, seriously. Tell me, please, the difference between writing fanfiction,
which is based off of another's work and giving credit and disclaimers
and using musical lyrics, which is someone else's work, and giving credit and disclaimers?
Songs set the mood. How many movies do you see that have no music? Eh? It pulls in the emotions, it connects the scene(s) and the reader (or watcher, in the case of a movie/television show) to emotions.
So. I'm (already being in a tempermental and pissy mood) saying fuck it. I am not going back through what I have of three different stories and editing out the song lyrics that I gave credit for. I am not wasting my time to change my writing and lose my reviews (of which have given me considerable criticism, confidence and many smiles) just so that I can mold to fit someone else's writing standards.
I'll risk losing it all rather than conform.
With that being said, (sorry, Holly! if you, for some reason, don't get to read either, tell me and I'll give them to you) I am going to update both Ride the Wind and What Dreams May Come tonight (please don't kill me for the many mistakes that may be present...LoL) and take my chances.
They have rules, but I have rights and opinions. And options of going elsewhere.
*much love to anyone other than ff.net*
