RANT: Golden Quills Awards - UPDATE
Mar. 5th, 2010 10:22 amMore LotR fandom issues being discussed here. Unless you are interested, you might want to move along to the next entry on your friends page. I'm not responsible for any boredom or exasperation or eye-rollage to be caused by the following.

Well, at least the light of day being aimed at WendWriter and her Golden Quills Awards' hidden agenda has convinced her that maybe being sneaky and using other, innocent, people to "get back" at those she dislikes isn't the best idea:

(read the comments on that one, and then...)

Now, if she had just been honest about this being an exclusionary awards program to begin with, I would never have participated in the first place, never made a single nomination, nor felt it necessary to throw a public fit.
These are her awards, and she is allowed to tailor them as she sees fit. If she is honest and up front about not wanting these five people involved in any way, then a person can make an informed decision as to whether or not they wish to participate. There is no skullduggery, no "let's not tell anybody else" about it. That, my friends, is where the unprofessionalism and unethical nature of her actions lay, and why I felt it necessary to do what I did.
Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, her coming out of the closet and ADMITTING that her awards are not-everybody, means this matter is finished. The moment she changes the front page of her awards program to reflect the exclusionary policy she's adopted, I would appreciate it if the discussion of this particular matter would cease.
Thank you.
