Dear NaNoWriMo: I've always stuck up for you. I make a tiny donation every year since I got published. I defend your spirit when people put you down (once I get done giggling, as there is lots to mock there). I wrote my first and third published novels because of you. But goddammit, your forums are making me want to fall on my sword! I swear to Zod, they are worse than IMDB.
For the record:
Return of the Living Dead is emphatically NOT the "best freakin' zombie movie EVAR!" If you think it is, you need to stop calling yourself a horror fan and go download Underworld 2 onto your Xbox.
Max Brooks did not invent zombies, zombie literature, zombie humor, or the concept that Blades don't need Reloading. I like the books, I really do. But he didn't invent that shit, he just embellished it some and wrote it in an amusing way. If you really think SOLANUM is an amazing part of the milieu, I shake my head at you.
Zombies should not exist in the same universe as The Fae. It's perverse.
Okay, I'm kidding about that one; but it sounds stupid.
Your brilliant, original idea to have a character be a scientist who means well but makes a terrible mistake, isn't. Every third shitty zombie movie has that plot. And no, making the scientist hot will not help you sell it as a screenplay. At least I hope not. Let's see how Lion's Gate is doing next year...
It's probably better to say you're Writing about Zombies instead of Doing Zombies. People might get the wrong idea. Be clear and precise, at least while you're pretending to be a writer.
Gee, you're exploring the darker side of humanity? For Realz? What a clever, smart girl you are. Way to take the most prevalent and obvious zombie theme and act like you thought it up two weeks ago while you were making your outline. Ur a genius.
Please stop basing your characters on you and your friends. You aren't that interesting. Your blog is 80% memes.
Zombie slash fanfic? Kill me now.
Voldemort doesn't make Romero zombies--He makes fucking Inferi.
EDIT: I am not "Ful of my self" [sic x 2] because I won't take the time to read your shitty chapters and make comments. Right now, it's because I'm busy writing and having a life. Besides, you wouldn't think I was any less full of myself if I was actually honest about your "work."
To sum up: Really? Really NaNoWriMo? Really.
Thank you for your time.

On a completely unrelated topic, I'm going to boycott MSNBC until Keith comes back. That should hit them hard, since I never actually watch news on TV. Why do you think our lord Jesus Christ invented the internets?
