Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

10:53am: And on the 7th day, God created Evangelion Wank...

Warning! First time wank! Risk of screw up high!

There's a  Live Action  Neon Genesis Evangelion Movie in the works.

The fans are not amused.

Then there's the movie posters.

Too bad they're fan art.

Quick! Don't forget to sign the anti-live-action eva internet petition! 

( The rumoured cast... )

12:48pm: I don't know what the hell this is... but it's wank.

The people on my local cesspool of wank (AKA Friends of Josh Groban - I've told them they're becoming a legend over here and they don't even seem to care) are talking about constructive criticism. But not for fanfics, fortunately... I don't think I could take an "OMG, U CRUSHED MY SOUL BY FLAMING MY MARY-SUE" wank in Grobania... no, no. They're talking about whether it's okay to say that you thought a concert was less than perfect, and if so, whether one should have to do so in a 'constructive' manner. If that sounds weird... that's because it is.

As usual, I have archived the (exceedingly colourful) wank for you to peruse at your leisure. I think my favourite part is where the OP starts talking about the tao of criticism.

10:31pm: So, it all begins when alyeska makes a post wherein she comes out of the closet on a very serious issue...

( Fandom, I'm afraid that I am a...Bush supporter. *ICONS!* )

Almost immediately, fellow Fannish Republicans jump to her defence. amandageist compares it all to coming out as gay (in the comments, we get a little discussion of inaccurate and offensive icons) and morganmalfoy (who, for the record, is a slasher) explains her vote (for the record, I don't consider at least the last post incredibly wanky.)

The Democrats step in as well, of course. jlh posts on the issue.

( His stance on gay rights is the most important thing... )

And epicyclical posts as well.

( How do you deal with discovering someone is a Republican? )

And then things really hit when slytherincess discovers wizardsforbush where we all learn that 'Dumbledores Army Officially Endorses George Bush'

(Disclaimer: slytherincess's post includes a comment from yours truly.)

And then Aja, MsScribe, Calliope14, Shoiryu, and Littletort* all say, almost in unison, 'OMG if you support Bush or belong to wizardsforbush get OFF my Friends list!'

And megd, creator of the icon (ETA: She didn't make the icon, sorry), is hurt that the big, bad BNFs don't care about her feelings and confused.

*ETA: littletort's friends list is a home to all, Bush supporters or no. My bad.
