I warned you guys not to poke the bear...
Right, so there's a British cop/time-travel show called Life on Mars, in which Sam Tyler, a cop from 2006, is hit by a car and sent back to 1973, where he becomes a cop with Gene Hunt as his boss. Gene Hunt believes that there's nothing that can't be solved by slamming Sam into a wall and getting into his personal space, so you can guess that the slashers are fairly happy.

Even though it's been over for a while now, the lifein1973 comm is still pretty active. And, apparently, in general fairly friendly.

That is, until madmonkeyshow posts her opinion on Gene Hunt in the community, in which she says that romantic Sam/Gene is impossible, and implies that her way of writing Gene and Sam into a BDSM relationship is far more realistic.

The community does not respond well to being told how to write its slashfic, and madmonkeyshow does not respond well to disagreement.

Also, calling the entire community young people isn't patronising or insulting, it's simply THE TRUTH.

Madmonkeyshow gets banned from community, and you'd think that'd be the end of it, as she originally posted about a month ago.

However, madmonkeyshow continues to ramble about the unfairness of it all in her own journal. Clearly there is censorship at work here, so she will sue everyone and go to the media.

Love me, hate me, but all you are doing by banning me from posting there is infringing on my right of free speech.

I don't know what I enjoyed the most: her calling Sam a woman, her insistence that she knows better than everyone else because she was a dominatrix once, her claim that her comments may have been a social experiment, or the gratuitous mention of care bears.

A+++ WOULD LOL AT WANKER AGAIN

Gene is not easy to glean from the facade he presents to the world, and I believe this is why most fiction I see tends to focus on Sam, who after all is essentially a female type of character, and therefore accessible to many more of the authors out there.

Translation: "I am the SMRT, not like those other icky, simple-minded authors who cannot empathize with the 'difficult' character! Worship me!"

By the way, in case you think this is some cute little bluff, I will be happy to provide the name and address of my landlady, who I exopsed similarly when she was guilty of a major violation of the Americans with Disabilities act in my case. I don't bluff, kiddies. Never have, never will.

Well, NOW I'm worried.

This will be the first case of its kind in the country - trust me love, this is never going to court. I don't think even your attorney cares that you can't be speshul in an online fanfic community.

First line of her bio: I get the feeling I am a little older than the average Live Journal user. Sweetheart, you fit right in when it comes to mental age, so don't be so worried about that.

She's her own little storm in a teacup - how precious!

"I was hoping public huimiliation and shame would be enough to restore my friend her good standing."
I don't think she got the memo about being nice to people making them more likely to agree with you.

"my having a unique opinion about how to write fic"
There are so many wins here I don't even know where to start. I mean, no. It's not a unique opinion. And no, nobody cares about your dissenting OPINIUUUN.

"I will go away, like the big, mean, smart, opinionated bitch that I am, just as soon as tagdott's situation is rectified"

I think the real issue at heart here is, why is no one reccing recs in this post? Well, besides the fact that most LoM fanfic is terrible. That said, the idea of Sam as a weepy uke is making me giggle.

Gene Hunt believes that there's nothing that can't be solved by slamming Sam into a wall and getting into his personal space, so you can guess that the slashers are fairly happy.

Jesus Christ, where is the download button.
