rambling instead of working on BB

I think the reason we all hated Metatron so very much is because he was just such a CRAP writer. He was a hack in the worst sense of the word. He took God's dictation and somewhere along the line, began to think that it was a collaboration. I hate that I can identify with the little motherfucker, in that aspect at least. Rest assured, my friends, I will never try to kick you all out of LJ and then blackmail you into coming back while making you act out my improbable Mary-Sues. I save that stuff for posting at my sockmuppet.

Maybe. *shifty-eyes*

Yes, exactly. He mistook his knowledge of "how stories work" for the ability to create. It's possible to have both, but he clearly did not--because angels take orders, they don't create. He's like an evil English Lit professor who decided he didn't want to write research papers anymore.

I think at some point he got contaminated by the same bizarre notion that a lot of people have--that writing just happens, it's not actual work.

Right? As time went by, I hated him more and more because he was such an arrogant little fuck, with no reason for it at all. He was like the worst parts of human nature distilled.

Yes, yes, yes! Even if you're doing it just for a crowd of friends, like here, it's HARD work! I don't think anyone knocks something out and says, "This is a work of sheer genius!" No, we finish, and look at it and see that it needs so much more work and it never really stops needing work. Unless of course, you're Boogertron and your every idea is sheer perfection. :)
