WARUMMMMMMMMMMMM

30k words in and I suddenly have second thoughts about one of the character's speaking style.

Last night there was a discussion on stuff on FB, the issues it touched on was quite wide, but it once again highlighted one thing about some people which I hate: entitlement. I'm not talking about how people think they're entitled to own things, have rights, etc (which is also grating), but the sort where someone says "yeah but I did this for free, bent over backwards so that you can enjoy the fruits of my labour, Y U NO RESPECT?"

Er. If I think you're doing it wrong, or if I don't enjoy what you offer, then I don't have any gratitude. If I think you're ultimately only doing it for yourself anyway, but just felt like showing everyone, then I'll thank you if I enjoyed your work, but only then. If I sewed a dress for myself and showed it to everyone, do I throw a fit if they don't like it and say they ought to thank me for the visual pleasure?

Weirdoes.

Man I totally agree - it's so annoying when people get so snotty about stuff like that. If you want to control how people react to your work so badly, why bother in the first place? I especially feel this way when people demand comments on scans, for example - they didn't even take the damn photos, anyone could've scanned them! If it's so hard, just don't do it XD
