How hard is it to check spelling, really?

Please tell me this is a joke

These days, people post fanfic without being able to spell the main characters' names right, without being able (or not bothering) to capitalize names, without knowing quotation rules, without knowing the differences between your/you're, without spell checking, without commas... Granted, I am a fanfic snob in many ways, but I'd think this was the very minimum of what a reader has a right to demand. It's after all a fanfic, not a clever English guessing game of "Guess which word this is meant to be!", "Guess who is actually speaking this line!" and the ever-popular "Guess who the bloody hell this person is! Spelling no clue!"

And that's just the basics - then we get into characterisation, which can be a sad, sad state of affairs in a lot of fandoms.

I want good fanfic to read. Wah.

Oh, and...

And the days do pass...

Update for those of you who know what's going on.

Got my lawyer this week. In Norway, anyone who has been a victim of violent crimes (hereunder rape) have a right to a supportive lawyer, bill footed by the state. Mine seems very nice. She'll be keeping in touch with the police in case there's any progress as well as help me in case of trial and with seeking compensation. I apparently have a right to that as well, regardless of whether they catch him or not.

I'm sleeping badly and I have pains now and then that I guess are simply my body's way of reacting to the current mess in my head. So much to figure out and no idea how to. It'll come, I'm sure. My anger's on the rise, I can tell, from my getting annoyed at people who IM me with all kinds of inane things, not to mention idiot sale people on the street. If I blow up at anyone, I apologise in advance.

I haven't fallen to pieces, at least and I suppose that is the main thing. There's always time for everything else.
