can’t stop reading responses to Kindle Worlds; can’t stop getting angry about the condescension of pro authors toward fanfic authors (as per usual)

especially the ones who say “ugh why would anyone bother with fanfic! i have my own (read: MORE IMPORTANT) stories to tell”

KLSA;FDJ;LASKJFD I HAVE MY OWN STORIES TO WRITE TOO YOU JACKASS THAT’S WHY I WRITE FANFIC

omg and the next person who writes anything related to mythology or fairy tales or public domain works who sneers at fanfic is getting my foot straight through their teeth

omg abigail :( :( :( :( :(

when nbchannibal says “never sleeps again” they mean “because too busy fapping” right

FANLIB!

That was the name of that pro fic site that tanked almost immediately. Man. Did anyone actually ever go there?

Have you mentioned it? If you bring it up, they should work to correct it for you. Do you have a pull list with them? If you don’t, setting one up should guarantee you get the issues youre…

I know that a lot of folks are also getting shorted by Diamond (the only distributor and therefore sucktastic) on a lot of books lately so that can come into play as well. But, yeah…telling your shop (would calling them cause less anxiety for you?) that you want it, even without a pull list can sometimes help. I would tell you that setting up a pull list isn’t hard, but I go to an amazing and friendly shop with the easiest subscription system in town but I know that two others had a dumb process and wanted a credit card up front and had all sorts of rules, so I know it’s not always just as easy and walking up to the counter, telling them you want to set up a box, them giving you a form with a list of books, you checking off those titles you want, writing in the titles they don’t have and handing it back in, the end. 

Best of luck!

The most annoying thing is that they have a pretty nice website set-up, but it’s all pre-order rather than pull lists, and they want a CC on file to use it. I don’t have a credit card, just my debit card, so I really don’t like to put an unknown amount on it each week. I’ve ordered back-issues through their website to pick up in-store, and it’s been 100% smooth and easy.

*sigh* I wish this wasn’t so hard for me, or that I didn’t have such a strong aversion to digital comics. That way I could d/l them in the morning and not have to worry about this. Bah. My life, so hard. :P

ino it’s not technically an LCS for you but i set up my pull list at Things From Another World for similar anxiety reasons — i don’t get everything asap but they send me exactly what i want, they’re set up so you can pay with a debit card online, and they’ve never once treated me like i was on the wrong planet just for asking about a title (thanks, shop literally blocks away!)
