Wow.

Even with his "proviso" at the top, it's so so so so hard not to judge Eoin after his latest short story.

I'm not sure if he's trying to be edgy (at your age, Eoin? really?) or what, but this?

This face belongs to that social anomaly, the gay air hostess. The gay air hostess is another beast entirely separate from real life, it's emasculated, yet

I...think? But then it just went all haywire when people asked him about it and we confronted him on twitter and he was just really unapologetic and dickish.

It's funny he compares himself to David Sedaris...thing is, maybe if he had an ounce of knowledge about writing and the audience he's presenting this to, he wouldn't have been in this whole mess.

So...he's just a shit writer (like wldcatsprstr_14 said) who has no foresight into audience reception?

He knows that people are going to take it badly. But he does it anyway because I honestly don't think he gives a fuck. It's obvious from his writing that he has a very dark mentality. Pair that with shit writing skills and you have shit that goes beyond the realm of offensive and stupid.

Someone actually commented that he's an "excellent writer..."

My first fanfic was written better than that.

Either your link doesn't work or he deleted it. Eurgh. Maybe he got an earful.

[wldcatsprstr_14]

Link def worked. He deleted it.

♥ just wanted to say that you're an absolute flawless star, veni.

He reposted again. Read the new intro to it. I have half a mind to do a thorough beta-job in comments.

*sigh* I was hoping, after reading initial reactions, that it was one of those things where if we just ignored the source, and tried to read it as if it was written by someone we didn't know, that it would be okay. But yeah... I just... I honestly don't even know.

I don't understand why he would've posted something so terrible as that. I mean, maybe it's because I'm a fanfic writer, but damn... do you not even think about your audience at ALL? Especially if you're going to share some of your own writing? I mean, that's just... ugh. IDEK. Honestly, Eoin. Honestly.

[sheswatching]

I really don't think he thought of his audience or the wide array of experiences and points of view, and how something that was posted so out of context and really nto framed properly to be judged on any literary merit at all would come off. It didn't help that he then turned around and when questioned basically became more and more of an asshole in this whole situation. :(

Ah the "I have gay friends therefore I'm not a homophobe" stunt. Lovely. This plus my sister's Ron Paul is not a racist bigot rant from earlier this evening makes my day complete.

Oh bb, I'm sorry you had to deal with so much idiocy :(
