When confronted with the word "fandom" guess which word most people immediately think of next.

: Wheee...
First post here. Let's see what happens...
Knight Rider is an obscure fandom, and of course, quite cliquish. But they seemed nice enough, and I, at the behest of a friend, joined a forum at krfoundation.com and sort of lurked, offering a post once in a while.
It was all hunky dorey for a time.
Until, that is, my friend had the SHEER OMFG TEMERITY to point out a slight problem with the Edwards awards.
The board and website administrator decides to publically snark and chew her out... but oh, the fun doesn't stop there.
It degenerates into a scene of mass hysteria from the webmistress, who, according to her 'sister', actually threatens to commit suicide over the issue, of course prompting a flurry of "Oh no, don't do that, we love you!!1!" posts.
Then come the odd claims from her that she's receiving all this 'hate mail' and 'spam' from "Unknown sources" (gee, I wonder if that could have been aimed at my friend and I).
It would be amusing, if she didn't pull this paranoid shit on someone at *least* once a month.
Mmyep. Wank of the highest order, methinks... and the reason I avoid small fandoms with admins who think threatening to slit their wrists every time someone has a minor bug report is a good way to make friends and win people.
Wank, wank, wank, mockity-mock-mock. I mock thee, Ms Paranoia.

: Much-Ado-About-Hyphens!
Long time reader, first time poster. Not only that, but I bring you all Gaia Wank!
So here's the story: AirSpiritX is a "true fan" who feels the need to educate the ignorant masses on the true spelling of "Inuyasha." Or rather "Inu-Yasha."
Because if you don't know where to put the hyphen, you're not a true fan!
The fun continues as people jump down his throat for being an ass. Then he announces that "it was my brother who said those things, but he was right and you're all still stupid!" Then people prove him wrong. He doesn't like that at all.
It's at 55 posts and still growing.
All because of a lousy hyphen.
Long live Gaia!

Or at least vaguely LOTR. It's on the IMDB (shooting whales in a tea cup, I know) LOTR board with mentions of Ian McKellen, but it soon degenerates into...
Gay Wank! Godwin's Law! "It just doesn't seem right!" And of course, a troll or two popping up throughout.
