Slash Wank!!!
In possibly the stupidest move since the invention of the DVD rewinder, newyork_noodles posts a slash rant at fanficrants.

Embedded in this mass of fail are such gems as "I just don't understand the point of writing something that you know goes directly against canon and the character you're writing about." and "I just think that if it's a main character, who has been around for several books or movies or seasons or whatever and who we known all these things about it would, you know, be mentioned if they were bisexual."

Right. Because no author has ever come back after the end of a seven-book series and announced that a major character was gay. And also? Isn't the whole point of fanfiction for authors to, I dunno, explore things about their favorite characters that aren't explored in canon material?

The community, predictably, is in the process of delivering a felony sexual assault on the poster's anal region.

Before anyone says anything too mean about this post:


Picture more racewank and sexismwank.

That is all.

As someone who generally prefers canon pairings, may I be the first to say "get off my side, you're making us look stupid"?

Your icon makes me giggle. Reminds me of a costuming outing where one of my fellow Rebel Legion members gasped, pointed at my camera, and said, "You can't carry that with your costume, it's not Canon!"

What frustrated me about the post is that the first point about the cliche was a good one. Then it was buried under WTF.

(I almost commented when I saw it, which was before I saw it here, but I decided it just wasn't worth it.)

Oh, dammit! I skipped that post because I thought it was just about stupid cliches. A chance to catch wank in the wild and I missed it!

I would've had an appropriate icon and everything! *woe*

Is it weird that I've never read a single fic where the line, "kissing X is the scariest, most exciting thing Y has ever done" despite the fact that I read predominantly slash fic? I'm just saying, the rant made promises and didn't deliver. That's at least a tar and feather offense.

I don't see much wank.

I see a few "Oh, this is going to be wanked so hard" and a lot of "in before mod tags/fandom wank/macros", and some reasonable, if slightly snarky response correcting the OP... but not really much wank.

Eh. I have a flist member who is a canon nazi and rants quite actively against slash in her fandoms and to be honest those were far more wanky than this rant.

I do like the "oh whoops" tag on this post, though. :D

Must say I gotta thank you for the jeen yuss linking of wank to !wanker. It alerted me most handily to this report and thus prevented me from commenting on anything besides the Space Durian icon and looking like a GIANT BOOFHEADED DINGDONG as a result.

Note to self: check JF, then comment on FFrants thing. Check JF, THEN comment on FFrants thing. Kee-rist I'm a twit.

Why doesn't someone just make a weekly post to fanficrants that is simply, "BISEXUALS DO NOT EXIST! THANK YOU, AND GOOD NIGHT!"

Then all the comm members could cream themselves posting, "I already know I don't exist!" and "Me and the English majors!" and "I'm always invisible!" and "In before wank/mod tags!" and "I've got my popcorn!" And then FW could do the same thing...

Oh, wait. Never mind.

Why do people do this? How new with the Internet- and fanfic(!)- do you have to be to not know that "hey, this slash is non-canon!" is the last thing anyone anywhere is interested in hearing?

It's like teaching a toddler not to touch the stove.

"I just don't understand the point of writing something that you know goes directly against canon and the character you're writing about."

I'm imagining this person going online to read something fannish for fun like.. entire transcripts for a given show.

Though actually, once upon a time I did come across a fic by an author who was pretty determined not to write anything that "went against canon", except for the inclusion of her Mary Sue. So basically, the entire fic (series, as a matter of fact) read like a word-for-word script of the TV show. Only occasionally, the Mary Sue would say one of the lines instead of the original character who said it.

...I think I had a snappy parting line or something, but it got buried under the powerfully bad memories of Zarbon and his Zarbon she-clone shadowing his steps and parroting his lines from the English dub between them.

I wrote something about this in my LJ forever ago. If we are looking at CANON here? All fandom is essentially against it. How many series do you watch where you aren't forced to suffer through like 9 years of UST before a couple is Canon so for those 9 years do you just NOT write fanfic? Cause you know, TECHNICALLY it is TOTALLY against canon. They are "just friends" you know. She is engaged, he is a ladies man. How DARE you assume what is going to be canon?

Don't think creatively! Heaven forbid! Sit in a corner, and take what the Kind Author gives you as Dogma and you LIKE IT!

(Also, Dumbledore being gay was the saddest bit of canon slash I have ever gotten. She could have actually DONE something with it. And it made me such a sad panda.)
