The Life and Times of Shannon
...because I posted to the wrong fandomwank before. *shame-face*
Stephanie van Doleweerd is mad as hell and she's gonna send a letter!
In addition to being the Web Developer for Lynn Johnston's rapidly deteriorating comic For Better or for Worse, she is also the inspiration for the speech-impaired character Shannon. (Correction: Stephanie is a different person than the web developer,</a> and thus may not be the wanky party, even if she did ask for this action to be taken.) The denizens ofbinky_betsy, among many other places, resent the way Shannon is used only to impart life lessons to the youngest Patterson child April, or the way her character is developed only to be good and saintly and not a complete person. Recently, Shannon made a speech to her high school's cafeteria reminding everyone that making fun of her and her friends was not cool - and the response in-strip was the comics equivalent of the slow clap. Since most people on the Internet have actually attended high school in the past couple of decades, however, more likely responses and storylines for Shannon were outlined in parody strips.
Van Doleweerd, whose boss Lynn is well-acquainted with internet parodies of her work (and has been featured here before for quashing such), quickly found these parody strips and interpreted them as making fun of Shannon-Stephanie personally. (There is also some debate that Lynn's employees may have purposely brought the parodies to Shannon-Stephanie's attention.) Instead of making a speech like comic-Shannon, however, she responded with a flurry of C&D to anyone whose IP sat still long enough. The result was not a slow clap.
Sure, LKH is wanky, but FBorFW wank seems to be epidemic, y'all. I presume that in the next act, Farley's real-life counterpart is gonna get wanked for saying he's racist against pit bulls.
ETA: The prior Lynn Johnston cease-and-desist wank.
Also: Icon is now more pleasing to brain and psyche. Though I'd always liked having the little sprite gambol about on my screen. Any more lip, though, and I'll dig up that picture of Carrot Top's... Carrot nethers!
