Huh?

[donutsweeper]

Apparently someone has been leaving drive-by comments all over LJ that just say:

very interesting, but I don't agree with you
Idetrorce

I got one on a link at ds_noticeboard 

Why would anyone bother to do this?  (I'm not upset about it, just confused)

Best. Answer. Ever.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

True! If only more troll had that person's sense of decorum!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Hee! Yeah. Seems to have hit a wide variety of forums (fora?) if you google the username...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

which makes me go back to wondering WHY anyone would bother to do this....

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I'm thinking 'bot, but that still leaves the question of why you'd make a 'bot to do this.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

some people have WAY to much time on their hands?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I think that's a good bet.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

there are so many other productive things to do with one's time.. like write fanfic!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

So true! Hey, speaking of which, what's your favorite Watch book? I'm going to have to do some skimming so I remember how Vimes talks.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

the best is probably 'Guards, Guards" but his character changes a lot in the series "night watch' is better for him as a grown character... although if you just want a quick bit the end of "the fifth elephant' when he confronts Angua's brother is excellent

(okay, that was fairly unhelpful, sorry)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

No, that's helpful! I remembered that he changed a lot during the series and that's why I was asking. I have "Guards, Guards," and "Fifth Elephant" here, so that works. Not sure why I never got a copy of Night Watch--I really liked it.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

what I love about Night Watch is how they tied all the little bits together, from the hard boiled egg to the sprig of heather (or whatever it was)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Oh, yeah, that was nifty. And young!Vetinari. Before he was *quite* as seamless in his plotting.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

he certainly was a LOT more sneaky (and snarky) when he grew up!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

*sporfles*

"Go fetch!"

Vimes in Fifth Elephant for the win :D


Sorry that was waaaaaaaaay too enigmatic even for me

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

OMG, I love that scene, and especialy later, when the local constable is all 'oh, you probably didn't realize what he'd do..." and Vimes says something about, 'err, yeah, you believe that if you want..."

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

That I don't remember so clearly but it certainly sounds like him :D

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

Ooh,do you write Discworld? Cool beans, can I friend you?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Well, I haven't actually written any *yet.* I just took requests in a dialogue meme and donutsweeper asked for Garibaldi from Babylon 5 and Vimes.

You're welcome to friend me, though! Just to warn you, it's mostly Doctor Who obsession right now.

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

Who'd be obsessed with Doctor Who? *whistles innocently*

I mean, it's not like I'd write a load of fic, or post a countdown to Voyage of the Damned or anything. That would be obsessive. *grin*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Hee! After I posted that comment, I wandered over to your journal and realized that it probably wasn't a problem. *g*

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Oh that was totally inspired because we were all agreeing how alike they were :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Yes!

[amythest-n-ice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did that and found them on the apneasupport website. Seriously, this dude/dudette/robot needs their circuits adjusting.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

At least they are polite about it....
