artist vendetta wank! Fresh from Elfwoodrant!
For anyone who doesn't know, [info]elfwoodrant is a forum where people can bitch and moan about anything in Elfwood, a fantasy and sci-fi art site.

Mostly the community is used to complain about mod's choice, but things got a bit more interesting today.

Apparently, [info]miffedmidget is miffed about a post [info]halwyn made in the community.

He has kindly documented his case for the entire elfwood staff being against him.

This is now so convoluted I'm not even going to take sides, except to say that I hope Thomas, god of Elfwood doesn't delete my gallery for this (which I think is just paranoid of me). Ah, well- it's only my LotR scribblings.

Oops! I forgot this part of the wank which is in [info]elfwoodrules. I would put up an edit, but am too stupid to run Journalfen, apparently.

I hate that guy. He's so annoying and ALL he does is attack Eliza, who's done NOTHING to deserve it.

Heh- I gathered that, though I've only been a member of the elfwood communities for a couple of weeks.

Oh, BTW, don't worry about gallery deletion. No matter what that guy says, Thomas doesn't go around deleting galleries for little things. :/ He's not a dictator, really.

As much of a n00b I think Miffedmidget is, Nymphee is really getting on my nerves with the constant postings insisting on putting words in Miffedmidget's mouth at every opporutnity. I mean, shit, with every post that one made, Nymphee tried to make Miffedmidget sound like he was Hitler or something....

Oh wait, I think I just put words into Nymphee's mouth!

My bad.

I think one of my favourite lines from Nymphee was "I can't believe you still answer... I think your like a child of 4 years old seeing just what YOU want to see" and continues to post him/herself in answer to Miffedmidget's comments pretty much doing the same thing. :P Pots and kettles, folks, pots and kettles.

Ah well, an interesting wank to say the least. I've considered posting my own artwork at Elfwood, but the insanity eventually passes. Besides, I've got HP fandom to keep me wanky. ;)

You forgot the totally irrelevant comparisons:

But tell me, what situation needs as much demands??? replacing Eliza, shut Elfwood down, destroying the work of a community who was hard to build? Yeah, your right.. this is probably more important that people dying from not eating, war and earth pollution. you would be great in GreenPeace... have you ever thought about join them? maybe also join some nasty dictators...

Oh yes, another classic. I read that and thought "Where the Fuck did this come from?"

Language Barrier or no, there is no excuse for such a lame arsed argument.

To be honest, as much of a n00b as Miffedmidget is, he is clearly coming out the winner in the debate with Nymphee. I'm trying to decide in this instance though, really, who the bigger n00b is.

definitely. I'm no fan of GreenPeace, but even I know better than to put them in a sentence next to an anonymous evil dicatator.

I dunno about the n00b contest though- I had a look at miffed midget's LJ, and he REPLIES TO HIMSELF. I think that's sort of an automatic forfeit of any weight in an argument.

Okay, Miffedmidget wins hands down on the n00b part. I mean, I went to his LJ to check out the entries initially, but I didn't really go into the comments (until now that is). He is definitely the King N00b here.

F_W should have a banner image that has a crown with "King (or Queen) n00b" on it, and then post it like ljdrama does. That would be hilarious.

Wouldn't it?! Unfortunately I haven't a CLUE how to make a banner. :( Wonder if anyone else out there is interested in giving it a shot?

What is the big deal about Elfwood? Why not just nab some free web space and stick your art up there, instead of having to conform to all this BS?

Community aspect. Most online people who likes fantasy/sci-fi art knows about it, if you're good, you could even bring your artwork into the public eye - could, anyway. Many people who are big in fantasy illustration now started in Elfwood.

If it's worth it, now, I'm still trying to decide.

I suppose, but, if all this stuff comes up, why not use deviantart? Or send stuff to a publisher if they're so serious?

Eh.. *shrugs*

Thumbs up for Hellsing, btw.

Oh, I have a DA gallery, a site of my own, and is in a team project going for publishing. But even big professional freelancers like Ursula V always need more targeted exposure, and I sure as hell do :) DA is pretty wanky on it's own, too, most big communities are.

And Hellsing owns me.

Hehe, I guess I'm just not cool-art-savvy. All my art is painted or sculpted, and I don't bother putting it online. There's just not an audience. Consequently I'm fairly out of touch with the online art community.

Hellsing owns a whole lot, indeedy.

I have a DA gallery, but I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the site- it's way too complicated for my little brain.

Commenting late, but -

I don't use Deviantart because I hate how it's designed. Elfwood is much simpler to navigate, and takes a lot less time to load (at least for me). It's also more genre specific, which some people like.

Anyway, most people never have trouble with the mods.

'Cause it's a good place to pimp my free webspace. ;-)

Also, i've never found the rules to be too oppressive.

I wonder why I've even kept the group on my friendslist.

1) WHAT'S UP WITH MOD'S CHOICE!?!?!
2) Why do people keep complaining about mods choice!?
3) Why do people complain people are complaining in a RANT COMMUNITY!?!
4) Someone has copied artwork!

Mix well, sprinkle liberally with [info]miffedmidget's on and off tangent ranting, and it will last you months and months and months.

And then there was a sudden rule change, and applying it retroactively, miffedmidget's noise is gone. That's, er... OK, I can't side with anyone here. Yeesh.

The rule change isn't sudden, it's been the rules, just no one got around to posting it for some stupid reason...

So he just got deleted for following rules that weren't posted anywhere?

Oh, nevermind. I won't miss his rants and don't even know if I'll get around to using Elfwood, as it stands. They can have what fun they want.

Hmm...not involved, and sounds pretty ridiculous to me. If you didn't post your rules, retroactively deleting stuff that existed before it...

Just seems like using the "supposedly pre-existing but not published" rules like an excuse to get rid of something. Similar to the trial scene in Alice in Wonderland.

Especially since they could have just said, "No personal attacks" and gotten rid of it with no need to apply rules retroactively.

I left elfwoodrant, elfwood, and elfwoodrules because I was sick and tired of the sensitive, self-important artistes.

But I never thought they'd make fandom_wank!
