11:33am: 'Tis the season...
...for more Lord of the Rings wank, now that the extended edition has been released on DVD. This particular one isn't, however, from the fanfic sphere, but from the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.sf.composition via Google Groups. (To read the entire thread in context, start here.)

r.a.sf.c is an interesting read. The participants tend to be more sophisticated the usual run of online fannishness, so there are comparatively few grudges, more civil disagreements, correctly spelled words (aside from the occasional typo), and for the most part the wank is restrained. And due to Google Groups' not being able to single out individual subthreads in a quotable way, the wank is woven into the various digressions, subthreads, chatting, and puns that make up the thread as a whole, so you have to stick with it to get it all. I've dug through it and pulled out a few choice bits for you to savor.

1:44pm: Bill Watterson is rolling in his grave right now! Or bed. Or whatever.
The calvinandhobbes community on LJ is normally a quiet place, where people can post their favorite old strips and wallow in nostalgia.

However, no place is free from wank, as echoboom shows when hir reposts a strip made by someone else, in which Calvin gets dosed for ADD and Hobbes turns back into a stuffed tiger.

Most of the comments are along the lines of "So depressing *criez*", but giley is offended:

this doesn't make sense. don't play around with things that aren't yours.

pickamuffin reminds us that overmedicating children is a Serious Social Issue, and the wank begins. Watterson's anti-licensing is invoked, opinions are declared incorrect, and giley's love for C&H has been ruined forever -- it may not be a large kerfluffle, but they're going at it just like the big dogs.

4:27pm: Wolverine likes beer and WANK
Minor wank in the Scans_Daily comm

http://www.livejournal.com/community/scans_daily/291847.html?#cutid1

Basically mageusblack posts an amusing X-Men scan, there is much squeeage and Whedon love, then nique shows up to tell us how much Whedon sucks.

A bit of back and forth ensues.

Enjoy!

4:49pm: Look out! It's the YAOI HUNTERS!
So, flame_thrower_6 is sick and tired of all the EEEVIL yaoi and yuri plaguing her fandom, and decides she's the one who's going to have to do something about it. Her ingenious plan: Start a group to report every single yaoi fic on FF.net to the management. Or, uh, something like that.
