9:57am: The Bad RPers Invade.
Over in Bad Rpers Suck on LJ, gurgg makes a long and rambling post attacking an X-men movieverse game. Her most noteable beef with it? That the moderators of said game dared to make an effort to keep characters from getting OOC, most noteably Bobby Drake. Some highlights:

"Fuckin' cripes! You kicked out my only true fuckin' RP'er, my only true online best buddy just because "Hey! It's not the way we want this character (Which isn't up to you!) to be played!"

"Alright, I understand for being straight and all--but when you don't have a Rogue around and so basically your out of ideas for plots--the next best thing is to go gay!"

"It's just as simple as--pre say I being a mod and saying, alright I want Paige to go madly insane for Warren and I want Jono to be all happy with a mouth and all--oh and he's in a band too. WEEEEEEEEE!! HAPPY-HAPPY LIFE!! C'mon! This the biggest bull-shit I've ever seen!"

The community reacts with varying degrees of annoyance, confusion, and irritation.

But it doesn't stop there. gurgg makes a second post, demanding that EVERYONE give her their opinions, and right now, because she's not leaving until they do. I make my own response, "Maybe if people weren't holding their grudge in the first place we've could've gotten somewhere" and at last, inevitable mod smackdown.

4:32pm: Fanfiction Writers -- The Unloved and Unappricated
Ah, Mediaminer -- there has to be a rule about packing so many anime fans into one site. You just end up with a critical mass of wank.

Disclaimer: I did make a few posts in thread, but nothing really wanky.

So, anyways, Akuma64 posts an e-mail from a fellow writer who has decided to quite writing fanfiction:

( Nobody likes me! Waaaaangst! )

6:06pm: Thank You Wank Spawns Death Threats
I've received, to date, over 200 emails regarding my post last week on Fandom Wank. (I linked to that pointless wank about saying thank you for avatars.)

These emails have been full of foul language, insults, and threats ranging from computer hacking to physical violence. Some included my real life information. I've reported them, but like that stupid rabbit they just don't quit.

Well, I told the most vocal of my attackers, "Crusader," that I would publish any further emails. Well, here's the latest (cleaned up to be work safe), received today from crusader**@hotmail.com:

SPYYYYLETTA:

U R A ******* ***** ***** & A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH IS 2 GOOD 4 U. U BETRAYED ME & EVERY1. I NO WEAR U LIVE & I NO YOUR PASSED CRIMES. U WILL PAY U RIGHT STUPID FIC 2. DONT ENTER CONTEST U WILL LOSE *****.

CRUSADER

I won't post the headers from the email, as tempting as that may be, but it matches the IP of the foul all-caps post on the original wank. That email, btw, was resent 20 times in case I missed it.

I believe the "contest" in question is a Star Trek Voyager fanfic contest that closes for entries this coming weekend. Gee, guess I'm all scared away, aren't I? Cause, you might all-caps me to death, um, the gods themselves do tremble.

Get a life, Crusader.
