Whoa. First off, you're 'friend' needs to be punched in the fucking face. Second, I agree with you.
I've never had someone say that to me, mostly because only one person that I know knows I write, and she writes fanfiction as well. But reading this made me wonder if I have been wasting my time writing.
But then, I got to thinking, and I really don't give a fuck what people say about people who write fanfiction.
I'm just shdhdeud right now, so I don't think I can say anything else without making no sense at all, but I totally understand why you're so upset.
And go you for posting this :)

EVER. and my feelings are totally hurt by this. i really thought this person was my friend. may they didn't realize what they said, but that's no excuse. it's like talking with your mouth full.
thanks for being one of my true friends. ^_
