8:51am:
pottersues destroyed my (friend's) will to live!
Nothing new here... just classic Capslocked Badfic and the Cult of Self-Esteem idiocy, with a dash of added melodrama. If you crave variety, skip this one. If you're in the mood for an oldie-but-goodie, here it is.
( Posted anonymously, of course )Responses as usual range from biting sarcasm to 'oh, boy! A troll!' to
pottersues herself calling the poster's bluff.
(And no, I'm not just posting this to prove I still exist! What would give you that idea?)
10:06am: Attracting the best to the bug light...
Over on Mock the Stupid, TrollPrincess makes a post about a stupid review she received on a fanfic. Mockage ensues and all is beautiful in we're better than you land. Then along come the husband and wife team of oag and mrs. oaglizzielove with the tried and true fanfic is stealing and ficcers are lazy and pathetic. They also throw in the new twist that the only thing worse than a ficcer, is someone who reviews fic.
Small, but tasty.
5:31pm: Elite Icon Wank!
Wank linked from anon over at
Wank Report. Thanks mousie!
damnskippytoo applies for membership at
icon_crack, an elite fandom icontest community. (From the userinfo-
"We're not elitest bitches, we're just trying to create something that people can enjoy and strive towards.")She is
rejected because her icons are [paraphrasing here]"all the same, too much brushwork, not sharp enough and too much text."
Skippy does not take this well. Despite stating, "I'm not arguing with your decision," she wanks long and hard. Much tl;dr from both sides.
Choice quote from
killprettyx:
"It's a little hard to believe that you're professional since even an amateur can see that your icons aren't what an elite community wants.
misstress_tink is
not happy with all the drama over the community. EDIT- Bahleeted! She got to that fast! Text saved thanks to
crickets.
( saved for posterity! )
6:22pm: Stupidity and Wolf Wankage
Over on a Wolf's Rain board, a cosplayer named
DJ Toboe said that a reliable source told him about
a week-long Underground Wolf's Rain convention that will be hitting all the US state capitals. The convention has all the English Voice Actors and Japanese Voice Actors there!
A few pages of excitement ensue before
Nocash shows up and points out how this is a fake, and how stupid this whole idea is. Wankage ensues and someone calls Nocash a
WR [Wolf's Rain] hating dork.
Then Kibasmate shows up. And it hits the fan.
( Poorly spelled words, and insane fangirl? Sign me up! )Discussion verges off into Kibasmate's broken capslock, exactly who can ban who and why, and proper usage of the word "kawaii". (Not mentioned, not using it at all).
Then someone points out that several of the voice actors couldn't be doing this "convention" because they're not in the area, or doing other things. Kibasmate has lots more lovely wisdom about that:
( Poorly mispelled pearls of wanky wisdom, now including the word pissant! )Finally, someone posts a screenshot of
an e-mail they received from Crispin Freeman, one of the English Wolf's Rain VA's. For the time being that seems to have shut up Kibasmate.
And, dear fandom wankers, we are left with only DJ Toboe's mournful plea:
*cries* Not only am I losing friends over this, but I'm probably going to lose the respect of this entire forum.Special thanks to Chaos2 and the
Fuku People for this little wank.
