7:42am: And The HP Wank Continues
Yet again, I am a wanker. Though I really didn't find my opinion this time around as wanky as some other times...apparently, HE did. And decided it was necessary to inform me, and save me from my own stupidity. I'm such a silly fag!

My new Pet Troll should meet up with oddjustice.

I think they'de make a cute couple, don't YOU?

Psuedointellectual Trolls- a scourge even amongst a distasteful breed.

2:31pm: The comic-book fandom is at it AGAIN!
I nominate these people for the Fandom_Wank Hall of Shame. But I bet these folks would say that having a *gasp* award would make them worthless!

Some wonderful tidbits:

I never considered myself a BNF in X-Men fanfiction. I consider myself someone who ran a huge archive for awhile, because I was lucky enough to have the time and the free webspace to do so.

But...

I know now that this was probably mostly my imagination, because the second time I tried going in there, I know I wasn't wanted and a few folks went to great lengths to make sure I knew that. And also to make sure I knew that they knew the real me. That I was an attention sucking, stroke-my-ego, BNF, bitch, who only came in there so people could kiss the ground I walked on. They went to great lengths to smack down anyone who said anything nice to me, and to let me know I was nobody. Never was anybody, never would be anybody. And when asked why I was being treated this way, their response (to which practically everyone in the room backed them up) was that my ego was so huge that it needed to be deflated.

To which I walked away wondering what the hell I had done.

To which, of course, these people give her an award! Which means nothing, because they didn't give her ALL of them!

Where before I was perfectly content with my lot in life, while I didn't have to worry about my own abilities as a writer, while this was sheerly a hobby for fun, people were now attempting to dangle a carrot above all our heads. "Work hard children, make lots of friends, write well, and maybe we'll give you an award, which will show the world that you are a decent writer." Which is all fine and good if you win... but you have the other side of the coin, which is, "If you don't... then you know the truth... you are not good. I don't care if you get nine hundred billion letters a day telling you that your stories are good. It's all bullshit. The only way you're good is if people take the time to go and vote...."

Not wanky enough yet? Everyone's favorite Not-A-Fan responds! Yes, we have more Nute-Wank!

Times like this, I'm glad I left that particluar ltitle corner of fandom.

6:19pm: AAH FORUM WANK
So...um...this is my first wank. Yeah. Sorry I couldn't pull anything bigger out of my ass.

Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with fandom.

As many of you may know, ezBoard (http://www.ezboard.com) is a message-board service that, for the most part, is free.

( Some background. )

However, one person thought it treason for ezBoard to run this promo, since everyone regardless of status would see it. Wank ensues.

11:12pm: A COUNTRY-fandom wank.
Hi, all. First actual post here, hope this is appropriate.

So a guy makes a shirt. His (or her; not sure) reasons for doing so?

I was preparing for an international trip, and I thought, "what can I do tell as many people as possible in other countries that many Americans vehemently disagree with the policies of our own government?" So I made this shirt, and various wonderful people translated it into all of the official UN languages, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Russian. Buy one for your own international travels. A domestic version (US$16), without English, is also available for those who want to make a statement, but not to monolingual locals.

Cool, I think. A nice bit of fun and satire. And then I notice there's a link for people to leave comments, and I went see what other people thought of it.

Wank wank WANK wank wank, including, but not limited to:

A European essentially screaming 'capitalist PIG-DOG!' - Honestly, you think that by printing a t-shirt like this you can feel good about yourselves, and that the rest of the world community will just 'let you off the hook' for your planet-destroying, culture-homogenising, democracy-flouting ways... and yes that does mean you too.

A 'respect your betters, Euro-trash'! comment - They only reason you aren't talking German is because we saved your ass. Don't you forget it you pompous soap-box preaching Dill.

That of course lead to a bunch of wanky responses on how 'WE won the war', 'no, WE did' from various geo-political posters, usually with absolutely no research into the history first - too many to link, really, all in the 'comments' link.

And of course, the your country 'ENGLAND' isn't even a REAL COUNTRY, you BRIT! comment.

And a closing excerpt, for amusement's sake:

dear toy douchebag
Perhaps YOUR president sucks, but MY president, GW Bush, is doing a great job, and will EASILY be re-elected. You know what's wrong with you euros? You've got no BALLS. You'd rather lie there, feeling smug, eating your snails and crumpets while the rest your neighborhood is going up in smoke. I'm sick of bailing out your sorry asses.
