Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

11:14am: The original post is your basic "Fanfiction is a waste of pixels", but the comments are long and interesting with his wankish argument that ignores those pesky things like logic.

All I ever have to do for the original/fanfic argument is think of Sentinel. Crap TV show that turns out some of the best fanfic ever. (Also, some of the worst, but hey)

Link gacked from Elina, a smart fun popslasher.

8:40pm: Intellislash: the thinking person's wank!
You thought the closest non-friends meme thing was an innocent toy, didn't you? It resulted in wank all over the poor and lovely bookofjude's LJ. Because making fun of something as inherently wanky deadly serious as intellislash is very very wrong, and anyone who dares ~looks innocently at no f_wer in particular~ will need to be told the error of their ways and entire personality. At excruciating length. Over and over...

9:31pm: He's super, thanks for asking!

Chuck Austen, a comic book author that has been the bane of Uncanny X-men fans will be writing storylines Action Comics, the actual name for the main Superman series.

Choice bits from the interview:

"Oh, it's not really that much controversy. It's the same twelve trolls all over the net. Most of the X-Fans are nice people, who are enjoying what I'm doing on 'Uncanny,' and mostly keep quiet so the twelve angry trolls don't molest them.

"But, honestly, it'll be worse than the X-Fans. Superman's older, and has more long term fans. I did one story in line with the direction I'll be taking, and the Internet exploded with rage and hatred. But honestly, it doesn't worry me. Some X-Fans complain loudly, but they are few. Sales are waaaaay up since I took over. If people were hating my work as much as those trolls claimed, sales would be tanking. These are just jealous people who want my job and think they're smarter than me. I can't be good, because they have different ideas. BZZZZT! Wrong answer. Thanks for playing our game. Here's your consolation prize. "

Also:

"But I've also been outspoken about my hatred for continuity. And this is making manga more appealing. Do you know how hard it is to write a story with a world threatening menace when everyone knows Thor is floating over New York with all the other Norse Gods? All these books tied together, all these bits of history and minutiae that fans expect you to know every single piece of? Jeez, what a nightmare. And so pointless. Anyone who disagrees does not understand story. "

The fans react badly.

Me, I'm just boggled this man still has a job.
