Yesterday was second anniversary of Deletegate, and the first anniversary of fandom_love. All the comments on this post have me nostalgic. And, it's one of the last wanks

bnfshavemorefun posted reported.

Tripzy, a Draco/Hermione 'shipper, decides to send JKR a letter explaining how she got it all wrong.

Such naive bewilderment that anyone could think this was a bad idea, at first, and then such vicious overreaction later on when people pointed out no one can take away your opinion.

Did she ever mail that letter? Anyone know?

I've been shipping my own 'ship peacefully and I'm eternally thankful that the only times I get to become an insider on wanks and fandom scuffles are when I come here.

Thanks for exposing teh crazies for us. I understand it's not an easy job, but you guys are brave. In regards to this wank, this was a trip to read as I'm feeling the emptiness now that Miss Charlotte's ended her most enthralling series and this somewhat filled it.

	So is that tale of sockpuppetry and lust-for-BNFhood officially over, then? is strangely sad points and laughs at D/Hr crazy in a belated kind of way to distract herself from the loss (Reply to this)(Parent)

Getting out the soapbox

I'm glad you like the comm, but I feel the need to point something out:

bad_penny's purpose isn't exposing crazies of fandom. From the user info:

"Old wanks never die, they just become catchphrases. And sometimes, people want to reminisce with others. Because they're old wanks, however, they're not really suitable for posting about on

fandom_wank or

fwgreatesthits. People who posted those wanks and entires may get irritated at having their inboxes filled up with new comments. So what's a Mean Girl From High School to do?

Post it here. That's what this comm is for, along with memoirs of old fandom scandals and Fan Bites Dog stories."

charlottelennox had one hell of a memoir about an old fandom scandal. I think she's destined to be the exception rather than the rule, and most posts will be like this one, or my previous post: revisiting old wanks, because sometimes it's fun to bead a dead horse.
