12:12am: Mediaminer wank or how not reviewing protects the reader
(Note: Much of this was originally visible and has been moved to a locked forum, but anyone can join. I'm copying some of it here, but will post screen caps of the comments later.)

It starts out as a fairly decent, civil, and otherwise unusual conversation on the Mediaminer.org forums regarding an essay on reviews written by Lady Macbeth. Psychlone enters the fray and disagrees with the MM.org policy which allows authors to "Not accept unsolicited critiques" and tells everyone who doesn't want to get anything other than praise to "grow the *beep* up." Sueric, famed for not accepting "unsolicited critiques" takes offense and tells Psychlone that they aren't seeing the whole picture, obviously the reason to not accept "unsolicited critiques" is because it protects the critics. This "brave act of self sacrifice" is echoed by other posters.

( Other's aren't so apt to agree )

This was where it seemed to stop, as the conversation was fairly polite (including a call from Psychlone for everyone to get along). Other mods (SilverArmada) and (WolfintheNight) civiliy weigh in on the topic, but it is Lord Aaron who decides to change the thread from a review debate to making it all about the persecution of Sueric by the other members. Other members who clearly don't know what the topic of their own thread is.

You are all so off topic it's making me sick.

Clearly.

( Anne Rice doesn't care about reviews, and you're an idiot )

Lady Lark closes the thread and threatens possible actions against those involved for going offtopic. In the arguments forum.

I also do not want to see this spreading to certain journal fen communities or livejournals (And Yes I am watching). Again, it is in violation of rule #4 and I will be enforcing it this time - to everyone. I don't bloody care if you are a mod on this site or not. --Lady Lark

As I am only a member for entertainment viewing purposes, I'm going to be just a little amused if I'm banned for this.

Edit: Either deleted or the mods have locked the thread so only they can see it. Screencaps will go up when I get home

10:46am: deu_sex_machina is out to OMGCRUSHANDCENSOR! Harry Potter fanfic writers
So, deu_sex_machina over on LJ specialises in MSTing choice HP fics (in the true sense of MST for once).

About a year ago, they MST'd a fic called "Furry Magic", which involves some 100 chapters of... um, well, at least were-leopards and Harry Potter being the Chosen Mate of Lucius Malfoy, the big enchilada of said were-leopards. And so on.

Today, enter doingsoso. S/he decides to unleash a spate of verbal diahorrea on the commenters, working in my unprofessional opinion with either too much caffeine, from general sense of great batshittery and/or with the wounded ego of a true furry-vampsex-mpreg fan. In any case, s/he replies to every comment made to the MST post, with choice gems being:

You are a piece of offal that does not qualify. A true rotter.

I'll go down fighting tooth and and nail for the right of people to write anything they want, the way the want, about anything they want, without being hit on by censorship Nazis of any kind. Even Harry Potter fan fiction censorship nazis.

Take your canonand stick it your ass. It may reliev that constipation that is causing you to be a bitch!

You're a fucking embecile if you're so easily amused, by the twitter of other bird brains.

I'm wondering if I should be very afraid, because you people may have jobs in the real world, this is the stupid kind of shit people do.

And so on. A few of the original commenters reply, with a general feeling of amusement and mild apathy about trollery. I'd also catalogue all the Internet laws doingsoso breaks during this glorious festival of splooge, but the day has only so many hours.

(Obligatory: no furbashing.)

ETA1: lowfatcheezwhiz provides the giggles by replying to all of doingsoso's comments with a perfectly eloquent What?. This prompts doingsoso to expand her crusade to lowfatcheezwhiz's journal with, you guessed it, more examples of what happens when Internet becomes Serious Business.

ETA2: doingsoso, my new favourite contender to the title of Perpetual Motion Machine, has founded a community called fanficlovers. Alas, her eloquence fails at the gates of Internets victory, it seems. Alas.

Son of ETA: doingsoso: Hitler was out to destroy fanfiction! ...I can't make this shit up, people. Also, MSTing is just as bad as what the nazis did or maybe MSTs are hate speech. I wish she'd make up her mind.

ETA the Barbarian: Because her ink cartridges are dry or something, doingsoso leaves with a final cornucopia of splooge, including a threat to send fanfic to JK Rowling: "Because I'm going to have sooo much fun writing lawyers and stuff like that." Ooh, I just got the shivers! lowfatcheezwhiz and many others reply with a mix of common sense and "omg n00b tee hee".

(Thank you, anonymice!)

10:51am: Rock out with yer boobies out!
Fresh boobie wank. How can you not love it? Especially when no breastfeeding is involved.

Storm Large is a contestant on RockStar: Supernova. She is also not afraid of showing off her natural (and perhaps enhanced) physical assets, as is obvious from these photos (NSFW) posted to the rocksupernova.

Of course, where there are boobies, wank is sure to follow. The comments are too full of splooge to pick on any one thread, so just jump in and enjoy...the thread's still growing. And be sure to catch the follow-up post of indignation over Teh Boobies, which generates bonus wank over starting a whole new thread to discuss them.

12:14pm: Comic Book Reviewers Duke it Out! Film at nine!
Hannibal Tabu writes The Buy Pile, a weekly column of comic reviews. A fan who calls himself The Last Great Comics Fan doesn't like it. To give you a picture of the Last Great Comics Fan, here's his blog manifesto.

The Last Great Comics Fan:
A one-man BS Brigade, providing the smackdown of opinionated logic whenever needed. Note: As I say in about every other post, I don't bother to spell check. What I write is, for better or worse, what you see and as I see it. If you want spell check go to Newsarama. Ha! I made a funny! Seriously though, it's the friggen internet. If you want clean copy you'll have to pay me for it.

So the man wrote an entry
about Hannibal Tabu, which included such choice bits as

"I thought I'd talk a bit about Hannibal Tatu's The Buy Pile, yet another regular review column where yet another wannabe journalist (or is it has been journalist? I can never for the life of me keep these things straight) tells us why he didn't like this book or why X-Writer is his "absolute fave of all time OMG ponies! he's like the bestest!" (Note: Not a direct quote.)"

and

"The hypocrasy is staggering! He claims that he makes a living reviewing other people's work and that they, the writers and artists that he casually drops shit all over, shouldn't be so sensitive because if gas wasn't so expensive he may have brought their book home despite it having nothing very worthwhile, as discerned while flipping through in the store. And yet, when they
'misunderstand' his review based on their own cursory samples of his work he shits himself in an editorial longer than his entire column about how he's not all that bad."
