3:14am: Super Princess Peach wank.
Yes. Really.

Apparently, some members of GameFAQs think that it is vitally important to determine whether or not Princess Toadstool is a viable name.

Vyers says no, because, "NoA made the Toadstool monicker. Miyamoto's name for her is Princess Peach, and Princess Peach only."

yangfelli says yes becuase, "I always found that Princess Toadstool had more of a whacked out crazy fantasy land vibe to it, like something pulled out of some old fairytale, whereas Peach is a bit too cutesy and hyper-bouncy Japanese anime-esque."

My favorite bit is Vyers' "I have no problem with people preferring the (wrong) name, but I do have a problem with people saying that Toadstool is correct."

Because her name is serious business, y'all.
2:29pm: I'm official. No, you aren't! Yes, I am!

In the ever turbulent world of Sentinel fandom, the recent craziness started when an anonymous group of fans announced they would be creating a Garett Maggart Online community and web site.

Quotes:

"This is an official press release to announce the upcoming debut of the Official Garett Maggart Online presence. Garett has chosen a team to oversee and maintain his online presence and to that end, the Official site is being completely rebuilt and will be online soon.

Updates will be posted here and to other appropriate groups and lists. Garett's new official site will be international in flavor and dutifully maintained with Garett's direct input."


Fans of GM and The Sentinel go apeshit. Why? Because under this viel of anonimity, this "team" could be anyone. (Read people we don't know or like.)

Enter, Shar [info]blairangel, the person who already owns www. garettmaggart.net. She rips these anonymous fans a new one. After all, she is Garett's official web site, not these wannabees. Wank is here and here.

Fandom explodes.

Accusations fly and fans begin speculating that maybe Deb Warner is involved in this new online venture. All hell breaks loose, which causes the GMO (Garett Maggart Online) "team" to state no, they aren't Deb Warner of the Demon Under Glass wank. (The Deb Warner wank is separate, too long to go into here).

Finally, members of the "team" reveal themselves: Alyjude, SuziQ, Marilyn, Arianna and Sylvette.

Alyjude posts

explaining why fans thought Shar and her GM web site was dead in the water.

Plus how the GMO got approval from Garett's management for this new site.

Alyjude also points out to Shar her thoughts on some things.

"to be, Shar? And just what axe do we have to grind? We're public now, Shar -- very public, and we are NOT in competition with you. Yes, the original announcement could have been worded differently, but the fact remains, you refused to answer the many inquiries and you did let the domain expire, which, following a year of nothing -- gave root to the idea that you'd moved on."

Arianna, another GMO team member adds her very rational thoughts. It seems she was on a cruise when the wank happened and was in the dark until she got some ship-to-shore calls about it.

But, Shar isn't finished and she replies back that she is the official site and has created a new El-jay for online announcements.

Highlights include:

"I do know the people behind this suddenly surfaced "team" and the story behind it. I know names and I know who is directly and indirectly involved. I have names, e-mails and lots of sordid details of who did what, who egged who on and so forth. Hines & Hunt is disgusted by this fiasco as am I. It was mishandled and reeked of cloak and dagger secrecy littered with demands, threats and rudeness. Not the way I've ever done business nor do I ever intended to embrace these tactics when working for Garett or conducting business regarding his site or my own personal life."

So which one is the real official site? I have no fucking clue. You decide.

8:28pm: TDS wank

Small but wanky on all sides.

[info]villainesse posts an introduction on The Daily Show lj here.

Some members are welcoming, some members not so much, and the comments start here, and here - where people apparently didn't see the humor in her post according to the OP.

Better yet, a short while later the OP posts again to the community here. Sarcastic posts follow here, here, and here, but the OP fights back with "you people need to grow senses of humour! last time I checked this was a fucking LJ COMMUNITY!!!!!!" and "DIDNT CATCH THE SIMPSONS REFERENCE DID YA??!" 

Some people stick up for her, but that just causes more fighting.
