Filk: Shining (Kristian Leontiou)
Oct. 29th, 2007 04:07 pmCall it clever,
Call it fun,
Call it fanfic:
See what I've gone and done.
Call it clumsy,
Call it dull,
Call it hackneyed:
See what they've gone and done!
Who are they to break this young vole's heart?
How the ratings rise and fall ...
(Chorus)
I will not be beta'd!
You have yet to see me writing, writing --
I won't take this lying down!
I will not be beta'd!
You have yet to see me writing, writing --
I won't take this lying down!
Call it clunky;
Call it crude.
Call him lifeless;
Call her a Mary Sue --
Call them emo,
Call it lame:
I'll call you blind and foolish
Just to spare myself the blame.
Who are you to break this young vole's heart?
How the ratings rise and fall ...
(Chorus)
I will not be beta'd!
You have yet to see me writing, writing --
I won't take this lying down!
I will not be beta'd!
You have yet to see me writing, writing --
I won't take this lying down!
(Repeat Chorus)
I know this song because
csakuras made a lovely Fullmetal Alchemist MMV from it, "Moving Forward". This piece is dedicated to the young person who called me a "freak" yesterday after I left concrit on FF.net regarding a story s/he liked. Beware freaks bearing filks ...
