12:09am: Holy Crap! Dragonriders of Pern Wank!
I found this on one of my elsewhere fandom bboards, in their 'Pimp Your Website' section. I've included the text 'cause you can't get to the bboard directly unless you subscribe.

Morning Star Heights

On the planet Gaian, dragons have always held an awe for the people there. Though that awe died when the one thing that they were supposed to destroy forgot to show up: Spores. Spores are silver pods that fall from the sky, and will kill any organic thing. Only the fire breath of the dragons can kill it.

Its has been seven hundred years since the Spores were supposed to come. But the stars have righted their mistake, and are sending Spores Gaian's way again. People of the Heights recognize the coming threat, and with one fertile Empress to help produce dragons for the coming threat, Morning Star Heights is greatly undermanned.

They are looking for those brave souls that will dare to fly high upon their back to protect Gaian from the deadly Spores. They are looking in the Heights, Casltes, & Crafthalls alike.

Will you hear the dragons' call?

~ * Morning Star Heights * ~



Dragonriders of all colors need. As well as Crafters, at least 25 are Candidates, and Commonfolk.

A clutch is on the Sands! And what this?! Two surprises?!?!?!? We need at least 25 Candidates!

P.S. Its inspired by Pern, but takes place on a completely different planet & we have different dragon colors. Including the Purple dragon, it can be male or female.

'Inspired by'? Try snuck in, raped with a tent peg, and stole the stereo on the way out.

12:15am: Screw 'uncut', gimme the machete
So evidently, FUNimation is seeking fan input on a possible anime channel, that would focus on "Uncut, English dubbed anime"

People talk about it for a bit, with differing views of the company

But then Rinoa desu! posts with And isn't "uncut dubbing" usually an oxymoron? :/, and Nekoi agrees with her.

Arronius points out that all dubbing is is replacing the audio track, which is, like, basic knowledge.

Rinoa Desu!: Not. True. Don't make me force Nekoi to tell you the oh-so-lovely Shaman King story @___@

And if you people want original anime without having to read subs, learn Japanese! >_@ Ganbatte~

Arronius: the term cut comes from editing when they cut parts out to make it conform to a time frame with corresponding commercial breaks or when they remove parts such as exceptionaly violence

Uncut is frame for frame exactly how it should look, audio tracks are a seperate matter

Rinoa Desu!: I know~~~~ what the term means, I'm not supid (despite what you all might think). The entire storyline can be changed by a tweak of the dialouge. I'm not going to argue with you people about what is and isn't cutting anymore, because no one will see my point.

And when Arronius posts again, pointing out that the 'literal meaning' of uncut that RD! and Nekoi were using is incorrect, RD! screams RAWR! *flails* Just give it up, you don't get it >_@

Yes, nothing says "Listen to me, I have valid points" quite like gratutious funny faces, does it?

6:53am: Some people never learn.......
Over on CrystalWank2004, we've been alerted by almostnever that our fave photoshopper is up to her old tricks again.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/crystalgamgee/48287.html

It hasn't gotten wanky yet (still quite fresh), but we know where this is going to go. If anyone has a copy of the original picture this is photoshopped from, please post.

Would have added this to the old Crystal thread, but its reached its limit of comments allowed.

ETA: Here is the original the picture is based on. She actually links to it in her post (somehow missed that), but I've uploaded it to my own album in case it disappears from the post.

10:41am: flap, flap
Potter fandom microwank.

PhoenixSong: I submitted the unbeta'd version of a chapter. Woe! Admins, please delete it! The wrong one has no lyrics. Remember that, because it'll be important later.

FictionAlley staff person removes wrong version.

PhoenixSong explains in excruciating detail:

The first version was submitted just about 24 hours ago. It was POSTED on Schnoogle a few hours ago. (That's why I provided a LINK.) When I went to check the chapter, to make sure everything went smoothly, I discovered that it was the WRONG version. I wanted THAT ONE deleted. The one that is ALREADY posted. Am I being clear enough now?

After the upload, turns out PhoenixSong's resubmission is the same unbeta'd version! Hey, how'd that happen? Quick, quick, get it off me! because "Somehow, someone put the wrong file back in the upload queue."

FA: No, honey, it was you. Just you.

PhoenixSong: "I hope the old one gets deleted (the wrong one at the link right now - identifiable by the fact that it has no lyrics at the beginning and end) is deleted, and the correct one (identifiable because it HAS lyrics) is uploaded soon."

And one hour later, PhoenixSong: "I say again, can someone please remove the offending version of chapter 10 before anyone else reads it?" Because, in case you guys can't read, "You can be sure that it is the incorrect version because there are NO LYRICS at the beginning and end of the chapter. The correct version HAS lyrics. Please remove the incorrect version."

Is this person's fic actually any good? Does he or she have a life? Because that's way too much time to spend on one measly chapter.

12:15pm: Broadway Wank
The posters over at Broadwayworld.com have been beaten into submission by fangirls of that weak and mediocre wonderful new show Wicked since before it opened. Now along comes a new poster named WICKEDforever who ignoring the numerous Wicked threads on the board goes and posts this.

Other posters aren't sure if she/he is a troll of not and frankly neither am I. She/he has also posted here, here, and here.

This has to be a troll right?

Right

Of course you all have to see the regular posters wank as well - I despise adore actors, especially musical theater actors.

2:13pm: This just in: Dir en Grey fan wanks. Fandom is unsurprised.
Over on Greatestjournal's jrock community, taka_in_chainz is OMG STICKING IT TO THE MAN.

( so your all really saying, if DEG was a bunch of glowing balls floating around you wouldnt like em? )

Comments aren't overly interesting so far, but I couldn't pass up the hilarity of the initial post...
