I went back and reread it and it did sound bitchy to me and I thought "I wrote that?"

I'm always amazed when I go back and read what I write, here or in my Buffista posts it's so odd because they sound like me, the way I talk and then, in some ways, they don't and it's me...and I'm rambling and it's odd.

Anyway, I have a hard time believing that anyone can archive or post a story with rampant misspellings and such a weak grasp of the show that they can't get the characters correct and still think "this is good." Maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist, always picking and changing and trying out different words and phrases to my stories that I don't understand why anyone would be so casual about their writing.

The only reason I can imagine is that they're caught in the grip of a story they like, canon or reality or believability be damned, and don't realize that their fantasies are fine if kept to themselves, but if they're going to share them with a larger audience, they ought to be readable at least.

I have a hard time with it too, so I guess I'm trying to play devil's advocate here. I'm not convincing myself, though I can believe that there are people who don't see their own errors because they're so entranced with their story, and therefore don't understand how the error is so glaring to someone else who isn't as invested in their brilliance.
