That's right! Battle without honor or humanity! (The theme from Kill Bill that plays at the end) Or, you know, write without fear or restrictions.

I love the other girl's facial expression in reaction to that, lol. I love Jane Austen and Fight Club, so this just makes me go all squee. And they picked the perfect characters too - I can so see Elizabeth being the Tyler Durden one and Fanny being the unnamed narrator. I keep watching the last few seconds and oh man, I want to be Lizzie. I asked John if we could take a tea cup outside and re-enact it, only he'd have to promise to act all offended and not like we'd set it up, lol. Plus, it's helpful for the whole getting over needing validation thing. I don't need your validation. I'll throw your teacup in your face!

So I've been kind of watching this obsessively the last few days, and I think it does sum up my philosophy here, with writing and all. And I've seen other members here embracing that philosophy and trying new and different and risky things in their writing, and that makes me happy.
"I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
Face your fears. See them, know them for what they are, and punch the hell out of them.
First rule of Stacy's Prose Fight Club - there are no rules. Throw teacups in the face of those who say that you must be tame and gentle. Write from the deepest part of yourself. No restrictions, no rules, no forbidden topics, no fear.

OMG you guys! Anne freaking rocked!!! The Preface to The Tenant of Wildfell Hall"Such humble talents as God has given me I will endeavour to put to their greatest use; if I am able to amuse, I will try to benefit too; and when I feel it my duty to speak an unpalatable truth, with the help of God, I will speak it, though it be to the prejudice of my name and to the detriment of my reader’s immediate pleasure as well as my own."

See, I've never got that "don't hit a woman" thing. I mean, don't hit anybody, obviously, but violence is violence and I don't see how hitting a man is any more valid or less shocking than hitting a woman.

I agree with you Rad. I mean, obviously don't hit a woman.. but its the same as don't hit a child, or animal, or man, or elderly person, or plant, or anything. (Plant may have been a little farfetched, but you get my drift).
I still remember a friend of mine crying over her breakup and saying she got into a fight with her boyfriend and smacked him out of anger and then followed the story with the "I didn't know that if I hit him he would leave me!"
And me just looking at her like.... really? You'd leave if he hit you.
