I don't know if anyone else does this, but I like to read the reviews that are left for fics I like. Sometimes it's just to see if the authors has left any clues in her responses to reviews, sometimes it's just to see what other people have to say that I might not have thought of.
Anyway, occasionally I come across some really dumb comments. Not the usual 'It was good. Plz update!11!!1!' crap, but really ignorant. The kind that makes you wonder if the person has been reading the same story you have. People just don't pay attention, and that frustrates the hell out of me.
Now don't get me wrong, I've speculated on stories and been wrong. That's not the sort of thing I'm talking about. It's one thing to pose possible scenarios based on what has actually happened in the story. It's something else entirely to envision fantasies the likes of which would put dementia patients to shame.
The morons will come up with some wild scenario that directly contradicts actual plot and say something like:
"OMG! Is that happening because blue monkeys rode out of Ginny's butt on skateboards because she didn't know that Draco had told everyone that they could use Ginny's intestines as a half pipe? And all the jumping around caused diverticulitis, which allowed the Dark Lord to be reborn because he's a butthead?"
Well, no dumbass, it's because of x plot point that was the focus of the entire previous chapter. Did you just skip that one?
And yes, I realize that I'm ranting about something completely insignificant. It's my journal. I'll rant when I want to. Stupid people with attention spans that don't quite rise to the level of a tsetse fly's annoy me. The end.
