disclaimer: this "open letter"/rant contains PotC: DMC spoilers, language of which your grandmother would not approve, crankiness, bitchiness, and a lot of capital letters.

disclaimer 2: I've been cleaning hotel rooms all day.

dear Pirates people:

I love you. I do. I have the hugest love for PotC fandom and PotC fanpeople. but HONESTLY. now it is time to get your HEADS out of your ASSES and GROW UP. I know this kind of shit happened in HP fandom with book 6. and in DC comic fandom, anything referring to an issue less than six months old gets a spoiler warning. spoilers are a big, bad, nasty issue, all across the wide wide world of fandom. I respect that. to a point.

but SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE HELL. are all the "James goes pirate" fics now spoilery? or the "Will and Elizabeth get married" ones? because I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I AM IN FACT NOT PSYCHIC. I do not want to be walking on eggshells when/if I write something before July 7 because MAYBE I'll have some WILD IDEA that I DID NOT KNOW WAS A SPOILER and then I'll get spoiled when someone gets in a tizzy about it (clearly, after July 7 I'll know full well what's a spoiler, as I'll've seen the movie).

however, on the other hand? if someone does spoil me? yeah, it'll kinda suck, maybe. but you know, I also know it's JUST A MOVIE. so also, I DON'T CARE. and will soon be OVER IT. because hey, you know what? I'm actually a fan of... Pirates. and that whole... piratey PotC thing. oddly, I am not solely a fan of plot twists. and if I were, I would not get my plot-twist fix from PotC. because ok. anyone who watches a DISNEY. SWASHBUCKLING. DISNEY MOVIE for the PLOT TWISTS can go get his/her BRAIN checked for shipworm.

yeah, that was a spoiler. suck it up. there are more important things in life.

affectionately,
Mel

(p.s. to anyone who may be tempted to take this rant totally seriously: don't. I'm throwing an LJ temper tantrum. it's fucking therapeutic, bitch)
