My concubines are lame. Drown them all!
SGA ficcer is not getting the acclaim she says she deserves. So she is going to delete her LJ. Her 560 "friends" are not fawning enough so what's the point?!

There are at least 60 comments on her epic fic's last two chapters now. I'm too lazy to figure out how many there were before she flipped out. Also she posted the last chapter only yesterday.

And the mea culpas pour in--three pages of "I'm sorry/I suck/Plz don't go."

>
And one of them thinks she can get some LOVE IF SHE FLOUNCES TOO!

When someone points out the flounce. [info]sardonicsmiley doesn't argue much.

And she is finally called on her tantrum.

LOL ENTITLEMENT DEBATE.

eta: WOT? "I'm turning commenting off until the last part, because otherwise that would just be too much."

So she turned commenting off and then bitched about no comments? O_o

eta2: All this for an alias change?


ETA3: BAHLEETION!! (saved pages below)

page 1, page 2, page 3, and expanded smackdown. And page 4 thanks to [info]longtimegone! :D

She does realise, right, that she doesn't have to friend people back when they friend her? Or respond to LOL GOOD STORY <3 comments? God knows I don't. I tried to respond to every comment for about a week, once, and nearly went insane.

I get that there's pressure to perform when you feel like a lot of people are watching you, but if you don't mind risking a lot of people not watching you anymore, then why freak out about it? And if you want all those people watching, then it seems logical you gotta work for it a bit.

Puzzling. I feel like I want to offer her some gestalt therapy or something.

I fucking write angst. And violence. And whump. And slash.

What's whump? Or should I be pleased I'm ignorant?

Considering fandom's penchant for smooshy names, I'm going to guess "whiny humping."

since the term has to do with hurt/comfort, i think you nailed the definition.

Better than the idea I had, which was Wet Humping.

Huh. Like hurt/comfort on steroids, I suppose. I was hoping it would be more cartooney, like, John Sheppard runs into a wall, bounces off, and has to straighten his nose before he can continue.

(Not that I have anything against Sheppard, but that would be pretty hilarious.)

Yes, whump-fic means "beat on your main character until he BLEEDS".

If I'm recalling my fan-terminology correctly, "whumping" is when you write all sorts of bad things happening to a character, usually for the purpose of facilitating angst or hurt/comfort.

Sooo it's pretty much a recipe for shitty, whiny, emo fic? I am having a hard time thinking about how that could be a decent story, at least... but I might be a little biased because I tried to write that shit when I was younger and it was awful.

Whump is pretty much another word for hurt/comfort. It's used pretty widely in Stargate (SG1 and SGA) fandoms, but I can't recall seeing it anywhere else. It's usually used to specify who is getting hurt in the story (e.g. "Warning: Jack whumping" = hurt/comfort with Jack as the injured party).

What's wrong with calling it hurt/comfort then? Is the term too old school? It's like the Harry/Ginny writers who insist on calling their smut "puff" for no discernably logical reason.

(Not snarking at you, btw, just snarking at the pointless re-naming of a genre.)

Whump is a story which centers around someone getting hurt. I think it got big in the SG-1 fandom, then made its way over to Atlantis, because we were always talking about Danny-whumping, often in the context of canon. Poor Daniel got beat up a lot. I always kinda had the sense that it was like, writer1: "We need a plot, quick!" writer2: "Oh, uh...rocks fall, Daniel Jackson is trapped? And hallucinates about his dead wife? And faces weird angst over the Ancients?" writer1: "SOUNDS GREAT!"
