In the beginning God created JournalFen and Fandom_Wank. And Fandom_Wank was without wank, and funny; and laughter was upon the face of the Wankas. And God said, Let there be another comm: and there was another comm. And God saw the other comm, that it was good: and God divided the other comm from the other comms. And God called the other comm [info]bad_penny, and the other comms he called [info]_wank.

And God said, let the old wanks that are funny be gathered together unto one place, anbd let that place be [info]bad_penny: and it was so.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the MOD. And the MOD said unto the sons, Wherefore camest thou? And the sons said, We wish to post a large exposé to your comm. And the MOD, upon consideration, said, That is good.

And so [info]bad_penny became a place of exposing the wanky BNFs. But then a lesser Mod stood up, and said, Lo! This is not good! What happened to the rehashing old wank and the funny? Why can not this be a place for both? And the MOD looked down on her and said, Dude whatever.

And so old wank was posted and there was laughter and glee in all of JournalFen and it was Good.

Green-- this color is a favorite of Satan, and is repeatedly used as a symbol of his power and glory

Purple is not technically a color.


Do these two phrases sound familiar? Are you recalling icons you've seen around equating green to Satan and purple to being a pigment of your imagination?

If not, SHOO. You are not welcome here!*

Sure, some things are unique to the Harry Potter fandom. But crazy about color is not one of them.

Rejoice, my fellow members, and revel in the Wank of Days Past!

Christian parent, do you want your child to learn how to torture someone, or even think about doing so?
Ahm - there's something in that I don't get. Do they believe the curses in HP really work or what???

And one more: H. Extinguishing Spells -- spells designed to extinguish fires instantly. [Page 328]

Have you noticed that virtually every facet of life for a witch and a wizard is governed by some kind of spell or potion? A witch or wizard is as dependent upon Satan for their daily life as the Christian is dependent upon Jesus Christ!

Well, I've actually thought I'd be a Christian, but I really never tried to ask Jesus Christ for help with extinguishing a fire. The last time my kitchen was burning, I didn't even pray, but called the fire brigade.
Obviously I'm not a Christian. But considered how the author of this article defines "Christian", I start to become happy about not being one!

Sure they do. You just need to find a wand, or make one. The tricky part is finding a unicorn, or a phoenix. (We're just not going to touch on the dragons here.) Then figuring out the hand movements. But they work. Seriously, they don't publish fiction for children. It's a how-to guide.

I find it so amusing that it's directed at Christians. Apparently learning their religion's history is out, too.

Title: HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE -- BOOK REVIEW

Subtitle: This book chronicles Harry's Fourth Year at Hogwart's School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, a year in which Harry finds himself under the most severe attack yet by evil Lord Voldemort. The Witchcraft portrayed here is once again very accurate and disturbing.


And...I'm done right here.

Because it so is not. At all.

And if they're finding hints of Satanism and Debbil worship in Harry Potter I now all I need to know about their reading skills, for comprehension division.

They have none.

Since I'm pagan and therefore one of those coveted conversion targets (you may all roll your eyes now, I always do) I'd like to add that anyone who has ideas so irretrievably stupid and thick is not likely to convert me to anything. As they're also humorless, thick and fearful bastards I don't want to hang around with them, least of all for eternity.

Anyway, they've got it all wrong. It's Satin worship: check out the dress robes for details.

If it makes you feel better, I think the whole cuttingedge.org thing was really a hoax. I mean, for someone who hated Harry Potter so much, they sure took a lot of time going through it (in an outlandish, over-analytical, hysterically stupid way). I mean, it actually goes on to try to explain why Sirius is Satan. Yes, I did read a lot of that stupid thing a long time ago and ended up pissing myself with laughter over how ridiculous it is. Its also a good example of why I don't take essays built entirely on symbolism seriously.

Still doesn't mean I can't lust for Movie!Rita's green robes. I'd be surprised if anyone really read the whole thing and thought it proved the point it was making in a serious way and actually keep their kids from reading HP because of it. But if anyone actually came up to me and tried to get me to change my religion or my interest in the fandom over it, I'd correct them because I don't let stupid people change me.

So... because in Harry Potter parents pass magic down to their children, and the Goblet of Fire came out of a casket, George Bush is a Satanist?

I mean, okay, but I thought Christians liked Bush?

I highly enjoyed the sub-wank with Terry Pratchett/JKR where Neil Gaiman is once again the voice of reason.

I really hope more info on the An Evening With Neil Gaiman event on Sept 28th in NYC gets out soon.

Further proof, fandom is fucking funny, and HP Fandom is Fucking LUDICROUS and has no problem going plaid.

Well, I couldn't understand half of what the threads were saying.... but, dude, it's not just the FANDOM of, um, 3/8/3 (??) that says "don't use emerald" or "don't call him the taller man" et cetera....everybody everywhere gets smacked inna head when they use those.

Those semi rules are what fandom authors live by. There's always something in writing that people say is a big no-no, yeah? Critiquers will go out of their way to tell you that they're notsogoodthings, even to the point of bringing in, oh, say Stephen King's quote about adverbs with which to beat you over the head.

Is this fandom bitchiness or just people trying to help someone whom they think could do better? I've had my feelings hurt in feedback too, but most of the time? They were right. And I remember those reviews and definitely keep them in mind when I write.

Sometimes I feel like everybody needs to be MiSTed at least once, yeah.

I loved that purple wank. Mostly I just liked the art pretentiousness and the wanka who went, "Purple's not a color. It's a pigment of your imagination."
