Bad!Sandwich

Elvis Presley's Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

* 2 slices of white bread
* 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter
* 1 small ripe banana mashed
* 2 tablespoons butter

Spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread and the mashed banana on the other. Press the slices gently together. Melt the butter (or to be truly Elvis-like, melt bacon fat!), over low heat in a small frying pan. Place the sandwich in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Eat it with a glass of buttermilk.

Please note: Elvis tended to eat 12-15 sandwiches a sitting! So belly up!

Yet Another Writer Leaves

I'm getting very upset with how things are going in one of my main fandoms these days. A lot of authors are leaving and worse, they just post something along the lines "I'm leaving, I'm done, moving on, thanks for enjoying my writing--good-bye" and then just basically delete everything but their final post, disable comments... and that's it. Well, I can understand this to a point. I mean, it's their lives, their work and they have a right to do as they please. I can understand that part. I'd hate for anyone to tell me what to do w/my el-jay. Now obviously, not everyone has done this. Several writers have been kind and given warning that they were leaving and posted a final chapter to whatever story they were working on at the time and gave those of us who were reading a chance to say goodbye, a chance at closure. I bless those writers. You know who you are--thank you for being so classy and may you someday be formally published writers. Maybe this is typical fannish behavior. Then again, I've heard rumors of cease and desist letters, and copyright issues turning up but that doesn't seem to be what's driving this, or at least not all of it. I can make a good guess what is going on but that's all it is--a guess. I was taught that a guess is the same as gossip/rumor and that to repeat it was "simply not done." So ok, I'm probably even wrong to say I have a good guess and then not tell but it seems like I've spent most of my life being wrong. I don't really know because most of the fandoms I'm in were long established by that point and had probably seen this cycle many times before. But as a newcomer, I wasn't used to it. And maybe I'm being a bad!fan in some ways but I mean, *Damn*! It hurts on so many levels because I feel that I know people through their writing but mainly this behavior on their part just reinforces my conviction that I really am an idiot, a loser and I deserve every bit of the hell my ex'es put me through for thinking I knew them and believed in them. I guess that the Deities are maybe trying to tell me to grow up, move on and get a life, I don't know anymore, I really don't. I suppose I have relied too heavily on life online but if you've followed my lj at all then you probably know that if I wasn't online I'd really be lost. I don't know if this is going to make any sense, I'm just rambling I guess. And I decided not to disable comments because if people want to say something to me, then go ahead.
