Who's the spider now?
Cribbed from wank_report :
Heroes wank, claims Mousie #1, is not usually this bad. It all started with a fandom secret dissing Mylar, a popular slash ship. (It's secret #144.) (Thanks to Mousie #4 for that direct link.)
Not secret: I find this pairing viscerally repulsive.Some anons and users are up in arms, some sympathize, and someone calls the secret-poster out.
Secret: last year I wrote a crappy little Mylar fic on a whim, as an experiment. I didn't deliberately go out of my way to make it horrible, but I put no effort at all into making it good, either. I just wrote down whatever first came to mind. Several times I had to stop myself from going back and revising what I had written to make it better.
The object was to see how much feedback a lousy, hastily-written Mylar fic would get, just by "virtue" of being Mylar. In the end, not only did it get more comments than most of my real fics, but someone actually nominated it at the heroes_slash awards.
If that isn't proof of what awful taste this fandom has, I don't know what is.
(These aren't all the responses, just the interesting ones, or so the mice say.)
This, supposedly, is the fic in question.
speccygeekgrrl reposted the secret on their livejournal, causing Mousie #2 to snicker over the butthurt (with Mousie #3 concurring).
Someone else got really butthurt, but speaking as someone outside of fandom, I find her entries really cryptic. A Heroes mousie tells me that tiptoe39's angst hearkens back to an epic Mylar v. Mattmo ship battle last season, when Mohinder was gay for Sylar in fanon but shacking up with Matt in canon. If anyone feels up to an archeological dig for that wank, I'll add the links to this report. BONUS, FROM
doomsday: tiptoe39's weepy voicepost of ultimate sorrow.Naturally, it all ends, as all good wanks do, with a hearty circle jerk.
Disclaimer: I still barely know Heroes, so feel free to correct me or tell me if I've linked to a spoiler or something. Y'all know I only posted this because I love using this icon.
ETA: The weepy voicepost is down, but a nonny mouse recorded it and dropped it off in a comment to my personal jf: http://tindeck.com/listen/ggzj.
