Small-ish Battlestar Galactica wank
Once upon a time the Sci-Fi channel had the great idea to have a messageboard and leave it widely unmoderated. Then came Battlestar Galactica. As you can imagine: this went well.  The following trends emerged: you would fangirl your chosen object of fanlove by making its thread as long as humanly possible by posting endless picspams, pages of what every poster had for breakfast and how the enemy-ships or characters resembled a trainwreck. 

But two weeks ago the zombie-admins decided to close all the multi-thousand pages threads and force the posters to start new ones. Things might have gotten a bit competitive because 200 pages into their own thread a few Kara/Lee shippers call fans of the Leoben Conoy character and actor Callum Keith Rennie (lastly wanked about in the Ray Wars) fans of a psycho stalker (Their thread being on page 250 probably had nothing to do with this.)

Now Rennie's character is a bit of psycho stalker, but the original remark apparently left it ambiguous/implied that it was calling the actor a psycho stalker, not the character. (The post has been bahleeted before I could read it to judge it myself.) Unfortunately, the same day the actor who played another rival of the Lee character and a threat to the posters' beloved Lee/Kara relationship had been severely injured in a car accident.

Cue [info]greycoupon's dramatic entry  "Someone save me":


Right. I see they have moved from bashing the Kara/Leoben fans to the Callum fans directly.

Classy bunch that group. I am just waiting for someone to post that Trucco should have died in the accident so that we wouldn't have Sam getting in the way of Kara/Lee's OTP. Oh, you know someone will say it. I am just waiting.


lyssie says I need to stay out of that thread as it causes my IQ to drop. Not to mention causes me to twitch.

Said lyssie quickly replies with Wasn't there one who said they hoped Trucco never came back, or something? Eh. Same thing, really.

The word of that post get quickly back to the Kara/Lee thread and wank pours in quick and fast by the way of lyssie's whose opinion of the Kara/Lee shippers couldn't be lower.

But it's the anonymice who bring the real fun. Their contribution varies from: Does belittling others bring you great pleasure, because I am starting to develop the opinion that it does. to it gets me as hot as rape gets you leobenites to my absolute favorite:

Look. I know I'm an idiot, but you should really come to terms with your own. I mean you have such a grasp of the english language and the way you know how words go together and are used and ...gosh darn it, I'm just lost for words. It's kinda hard to believe that you're so petty, but I guess it's true and since I can't compete with you in that way....I'll just call you Rapist and leave it at that.

You know what all this controversy means: A Sequel by [info]greycoupon about how her original point was misunderstood and so what about those trolly anonymous commenters?

Anonymous quickly makes a suggestion: do you want my name and address?..or some make up Name. Call me Daddy and leave it at that. You should get a kick out of that.

My reaction was 'argh'. But then, traumatic fandom roleplaying gamery has led to me being slightly allergic to the poor man. I'm sure it isn't his fault (even if he's not the REAL Ray, dammit)

His fans are kind of batshit, that I've seen.

Forget the wank - my beloved Samuel T. Anders! D:

I love the in-depth discussion on how to spell 'anonymouse' on that second post. BSG fans: we may be crazy but damnit, we know how to spell our made up words.

Well, I suppose BSG fans have to do something to keep warm during the long cold winter until the show comes back.

Honestly, I'm surprised there isn't more BSG wank, given how long the show's between-season and mid-season gaps tend to be.

And this would be why I've stayed the hell away from the fandom, much as I love the show. Even the normal people I know seem to go crazy in BSG-land.

On another note, why isn't it ... March? April? Whenever the hell BSG is finally coming back from Hiatus of Death?

First they said April, then they said March. So basically they could change their fickle minds at any moment. >:-(

OMG! BSG wank in public! Man, I've been scouring the webbernets and coming up empty. Of course, I haven't been trying that hard, so that should explain my inability to find public BSG wank better.

There was a nasty wank involving someone with an LJ stalking Mary McDonnell, but that wank happened mostly behind closed doors.

You know what? I'm probably going to be bitched out for this, but I am so over anything having to do with Starbuck or Apollo. Especially Kara/Lee. Lee's a pissant and Kara's always just annoyed the hell out of me, and they frankly deserve each other.

I declare this the official Roslyn and/or Adama love thread.

Well now. Call me amused that THIS makes FW. Really am.

Bunny, have we met?

I think most of the comments rather speak for themselves. Fandom is quite educational. I was thrilled to learn I am pro-rape or don't believe in rape because I like a character who happens to be a bad guy.

I need to Netflix Due South so I can go back and read all of the "Ray" Wars goodness.

But yeah, this is why I avoid the Skiffy boards.

I see that things haven't changed that much since the old days when I lurked at the Dominion; how many versions of SciFi message boards have been unplugged since s2 Farscape, I wonder?

As wank goes, this doesn't go very far, but thanks for the line on what is apparently every facial expression CKR has ever had.

Oh, SciFi forums. Don't ever change.

I got myself banned from SciFi (easy to do!) and thus missed all this wank in its original glory; SciFi mods are delete-happy and much of this is gone from the SciFi forums. Glad this one spilled over into LJ and isn't locked.

Can I hate Kara and Lee? Because more often than not, I do. I hate them separately, and I hate them more together. I ship them with no one. (Though Lee can occasionally be tolerable. Kara on the other hand, I was hoping in vain that she actually was dead.)

Wow, SciFi Boards have mods/admins that actually do stuff now? Or kinda, since it looks like it took a lot to get to that point.

I remember when it took them long enough to get rid of some really explicit posts made by a troll :(

Ah, SciFi boards... those were the days!
