Filk: Shining (Kristian Leontiou)

[nebroadwe]

Call 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 ...

Tee hee. It's so amusing.... Sorry that someone was being such a butthead though.

Yeah, I had the impression my chain was being deliberately jerked, so I behaved in the most mature and toplofty fashion of which I was capable.

And then I wrote this. Toplofty only gets you so far. :-)
