gryphonsegg1. Spend two days writing a worldbuilding-heavy fic and planning out the complicated magic/marriage/kinship system for a secondary world that I started constructing after going meta about annoying trends in fanfic and profic.
2. Plan to write a really long post about those two things, containing some abstract systematizing of fictional superpowers and laughing at myself for reusing my favored character archetypes AGAIN.
3. Come home from work wondering whether to make that post this afternoon or save it for later and post a fanfic snippet today instead.
4. Find out that Jezebel posted an article from Hugo Schwyzer explaining that men love 'barely legal' porn because they're not ready to accept being adults yet.
5. Dissolve into spluttering rage and lose desire to post about anything self-indulgent or funny because AN INTERNET LIKE THIS ONE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. Also lose desire to write or post anything about characters of any age or gender combination having any kind of interaction that might ever lead to sex because one is too skeeved out to go there.
