I remember in sophomore 6th period English, I sat right in front of the lectern and had many a good nap. :) I always got good grades on my work, so I never got yelled at.

I preferred sitting in the middle. I never liked sitting in the spotlight or in the back. Too many people expected me to have all the answers or to be responsible for the ones who never had a clue.

I'm just here to mock. I only remember anything because it annoys people who would prefer it forgotten and I get fed cookies by other FW members as a reward for my gleeful grudewanking.

Honestly, that big fandom freakout being on FW bothered me, and this idea that we are some sort of Fandom Newsletter is hilariously unsettling. I mean, there's no question we have no journalistic ethic and hardly even try, right? Right? And that not every wanky thing even gets on FW? But they're not kidding with the linkage. We're bad mofos with links and screencaps and commemorative icons. Oh, FW. I am swelling with pride.

Moral authority or gardening

leto
2007-06-03 11:00 am UTC (link)

I like that idea very much. I have always said that the mocking keeps people in check, and it was noted on that thread that people learn how not to be wankers by reading F_W. I agree with that. There is a certain pruning of the wank, the pointing and the mocking almost evolves fandom. F_W is the pruning of the fandom tree, exposing the both the diseased and the deadwood and then trims it away.

	Everything -I- learned I've learned from F_W. Which makes my learnings sound a good and not possibly distorted at all. There's also this: They'll toss out references (and sometimes fanfic links!) that go back ten years plus. Fuck Google. Y'all at the best fic finders evah. (Reply to this)

2007-06-03 07:32 pm UTC (link)

I skimmed a lot of that. I guess it's kind of cool that people regardless of fandom come together to point & laugh - otherwise some people might not generally talk to folks outside their own fandom(s). And it's kind of neat newbies can learn how not to be an asshat by reading f_w.

I think people would remember asshats and freak-outs and weirdness regardless of whether something like f_w/f_w wiki exists, though. I know that in fandoms/communities where wank does not get reported, we're constantly aware of that past and occasionally discuss it and whatnot.
