The Reality of things



This wiki is made by an annoyed creative person, who has lived in her house in this town of creative people for quite a while. She is annoyed because of the sudden lack of uniqueness that has bursted out in some ElfHouses. She is talking about the Motorcycle story -effect.

You have read them all, they're everywhere. "Post this if you love someone" and "post this if you object to child abuse." Now who could not post this or that story on their ElfHouse, in fear of being branded "a supporter of abortion" or *gasp*: "a person who loves nobody"? I'll tell you who: a person who is not a bloody Lemming. What I want to see in ElfHouses is information about the person, by the person. You love your girlfriend dearly? Then write a poem to/about her (see [Paul Doyle] for example; that is, if his lyrical Valentine's thing is still there). Draw your boyfriend as a guardian angel or a barbarian rescuing you from a dragon (if that's what strikes your fancy). Express what you are and what you believe in, but do it creativily.

Why are those stories annoying, you ask innocently. Are they not quite sweet and also useful information? Nay my friend, any story that has the message "she was raped, she got pregnant, she killed herself" is not useful information. It does not try to give any girl an example of what to do in the case of rape, it doesn't invoke symphaty: it simply turns on rapists and might prompt a closet-rapist to commit his crime, since girls on this site are educated to kill themselves rather than talk of their problems to adults or peers. Not to mention that every single one of those stories is fake.

So, what shall I do about it? Whine my ass off? Nay, I like my ass where it is, so I'm going to take action: I will re-write those stupid stories. Not to replace them, but to get people a-thinking. I do not allow these stories to be pasted into people's houses! These are not going to be the next thing to annoy the hell out of everybody, and I will report for breaching copyright if you copy-paste these to your house. If you appreciate my work, then let me know by giving me a wave (no need to even type out "*waves*" -- just a physical wave of your hand will do). Do link to this wiki if you wish to share it, but what I don't want to see/hear about is someone with a lame-story in their house getting a message with a link to here! No spamming to people who you think should be "educated" on how lame their house is. Everyone is allowed to discover for themselves.

2006-04-10 [Kiddalee]: ***is listing this place on Stupid Pasted Things*** Wait a second, you already did, didn't you? Okay then.

2006-04-11 [iippo]: Yeah I just sort of... helped myself :)

2006-04-12 [Kiddalee]: You like haunting, eh?

2006-04-12 [Chimes]: Its like chain messages... cept not messages... more like chain 'annoying-half-witted-stories-that-put-the-person-who-thought-them-up-to-shame'

2006-04-12 [iippo]: And the sad thing is, the person who wrote it probably though that s/he was either being really romantic or cute, or really clever. At least I'm happy knowing that they're not getting paid for every time some twit puts the story forward. X_x

2006-04-12 [Chimes]: Its rather depressing that someone could think up something so over-used and completely fake... and its also depressing that people seem to believe it and believe if they care about someone they have to put it up to show it

2006-04-12 [iippo]: That's what bothers me too. "Put this up if you love someone". And if I don't? It means I don't love anyone? Pfft.

2006-04-12 [Chimes]: Yeah its like the 'ole "If you dont repost this in five minutes you will have no sexlife for four years" thing

2006-04-12 [Chimes]: there is another one i keep seeing everywhere too The Sarah and Her Daddy Poem ..... its everywhere... there are even chain emails about it.

2006-04-13 [iippo]: Oh yeah the "if you're against child abuse, put this in your bio." I refuse, because I do encourage all parents of the world to give their kids a good sturdy slap every now and then! >_>
