Okay, I am tolerant of this "every time someone or their mom or their dog involved with Twilight takes a breath, we have to post it to fandom_lounge" bullshit, because, well, it's fandom_lounge, it's pretty much all (on some level) bullshit.

But if we're going to be continuously spammed with random crap and minutiae about Twilight, WOULD IT KILL YOU TO PUT IN A LINK TO WHATEVER LATEST BULLSHIT IS SUDDENLY POST-WORTHY?

If you can't manage that, then it belongs in your personal journal, or should probably just stay a thought in your head.

Sorry,

izzygal. This isn't meant to single you out and you're getting the brunt of it, but it really applies to every post about Twilight. You're just the latest in a long line of offenders.

	Should we make a Hey, Go to sparklefield post? I keep seeing a lot of comments to the effect of, "Oh, hey, I didn't know we had this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, maybe? It's not so much the topic of Twilight, as it is the ridiculous amounts of posts that are just like...not even about anything. I don't want to ban posts on Twilight, I'd just like people to stop spamming fandom_lounge every time they think of Twilight. Oh, maybe I am a little crabby. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, you know--it could be a good "When in doubt" reminder. Like, if there was some HUGE GIGANTIC IMPLOSION on a Twilight fansite, complete with bannings and hackings and flounces, you know, okay, it's FW-worthy. Whereas Official Skin of a Killer Glitter Omg! is more sparklefield's speed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, this is a good idea. I'll try to put something together later - last minute Christmas stuff and mourning for Narnia have taken over my day. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mourning for Narnia Yeah, has anyone posted THAT on the lounge? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	/Standingly ovates you/ Yeah... Nothing against Izzygal, but it wasn't so bad when it was the once in a blue moon post about something really outrageous in Twilight fandom, but out of the last twenty entries, five or so have been solely about Twilight. 1/4 is just too much for a single fandom.

	There are anchor tags around the sentence. There just aren't any attributes. So it's like half a link. Yes, I checked the page source. Quit looking at me like that. It was due diligence or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Actually, from what I've seen, there are at least four posts to sparklefield for every one that appears here or in f_w. So most of it is being diverted... there's just so much crazy, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I apologize, I thought I had linked to the Chicago Trib article?? I guess I screwed that up. :( I will fix that. (Reply to this)(Parent)
