Well, during the last

Well, during the last <a href-"http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/239827.html">spat</a> by Not-Bob pottersues finally called Not-Bob's bluff asking for her lawyer's phone number (which Not-Bob initially interpretted as a lesbo pick up line):

<a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/pottersues/75692.html">First and foremost: re our amazing disappearing, reappearing troll. I am all for letting people have their say, but it seems that Not-Bob has said all she's going to say and is now repeating herself, so until such time as she gives us reason to take her seriously, I will be screening her posts. 'Reason to take her seriously' should preferably take the form of some contact information so that my legal counsel - that very nice woman named Kate whom I mentioned - may talk to hers. Note again, please, that this does not mean her phone number. It means one for her lawyer.</a>

asking for her lawyer's phone number (which Not-Bob initially interpretted as a lesbo pick up line)

Apparently Not-Bob was, indeed, all bluff and no action. Here's her "Farewell" in which she takes apologizing without really being sorry to new, and unheard of, heights:

<a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/pottersues/75692.html?thread=2519212#t2519212">ONE; I am sorry I called you lesbians. You all know what you are!!!!
TWO; I am sorry I called you BITCHES EVEN THOUGH YOU ACT LIKE IT</a>

It's almost dissappointing. I mean I, personally, was thoroughly enjoying the fun! But there is a lesson to be learned. With Not-Bobs ultimate discovery of the CAPS LOCK key the people at pottersues finally noticed that Not-Bob had a bit of a point behind all of her ranting. As a result the Union of Minions <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/pottersues/75826.html?thread=2556722#t2556722">discussed ways</a> to make sure the people who's fics were featured, did not recieve floods of negative reviews anymore.
11:58am: X fandom mini wank...
This thread on the X/1999 LJ community. Starts innocuously enough, a thread on the CLAMP artists taking their sweet time and not working on the manga X.

[info]rainbow_gossip: The X art is getting shittier.
[info]mon_starling: Hell no! I think it's getting better!
Rainbow_gossip: "it's rude to interrupt someone else's thread. And if you wanna take up the art, then I wouldn't mess with me<3 I'm one of the X fan bitches. And so are my friends<3"
mon_starling: I guess it´s just a matter of personal taste
Rainbow_gossip replies by saying that she's an ARTEEST and an art major, so her word is so much more l33t, and that Starling doesn't know anything about art! (isn't this breaking some kind of F_W rule?) *And* she "can draw<3"

And then there's the snarky/bitter little anonymous post in reply under that.<3

The mini-wank ends there, I suppose.
5:39pm: Rapefic mini-wank
Over in fanfic land, rapefic is the dead horse discussion of the week.

First it starts off in fanficrants, although this particular topic is more the mood setter as opposed to actual wank.
Soon fandomcliche takes up the topic, and people are quick to point out this topic has just been covered in fanficrants. The kicker is this post by the admin of fandomcliche.

I figure if she's going to drag fandom_wank into it, I should go ahead and follow her suggestion.
6:55pm: Emma Watson is teh EVIL.
New member, first wank. Of course, it's Harry Potter.

Mugglenet.com (along with many other HP news sites) reported about an interview Emma Watson (aka Hermione Granger) gave to a French magazine. In the interview, she states that she hopes Hermione never has to kiss either Harry or Ron, because she thinks of the actors who play them as if they were brothers. The interviewer then asks:

If Hermione doesn't fall in love with Ron or Harry, whom do you see her with?

Emma responds: I hope she doesn't get with anybody! If she had to have a crush on a guy, I think he would have to be very serious, very academic. Why not a Hogwarts' teacher? I think that would be appropriate for her character. But she would definitely be embarrassed with the age difference.

Uh oh. A mention of student/teacher relationships, and Emma Watson daring to hypothesize (and possibly joke) about her character. Cue the wank on the comment board.

Some examples of the wankage. )

Special thanks to WIKTT for letting me know about the post and interview in the first place.
