Two for one H/G HP wank
The infamous H/G ship is sinking.

Yes, sadly, Griffindor tower is shutting it's doors on October 3 for good. The kerfluffle that lead to this was - as best I can discover - about beta'ing policy. This lead to hard feelings?!!! And one of the admins went into the EZboard and switched the passwords. General meltdown ensues.

That spawning wank may well be lost. However, the remaining Queens/admins/whateveh set up a new 'farewell' board That of course was irresistible to some combatants:
There are a few 'You were all mean, I expected this to implode ages ago', and then Allie Kiwi notes that history is written by the victors:

Why is it that the one who strips another of their admin powers, without any consultation, becomes the one in the 'right' and therefore the one who gets to play martyr?

Followed by a classic 'someone please, think of the children / authors:

You've stated this occurred over a disagreement on beta'ing. Imagine how this will make them feel... you are still ripping their home apart.

This irritates tartanboxers, who comments on it *briefly* in his own LJ, where Alliekiwi also adds her 2 cents.

The GT has directly/indirectly brought some wankilicious moments; notably watchful_entity (no I have nothing to do with them! I just hate their enemies) and pottersginny. Watching the various HP camps go after eachother has brought beautiful wank to millions thousands dozens of fandom wankers. And now it appears to be over...

Except there's a new archive. Run by slayersjenn. And she appears to hate the same people that GT and watchful_entity disliked.

So much so that she created a rule on her archive to specifically exclude one popular fic. Her rejection letter used language that was strangely reminicient of watchful_entity - so much so that I'd bet were only one or two degree's from it's identity.

ETA FIYA is now disallowing any NC17 fics, not just 'knockers'
