9:37am: FMA wank, how I have missed thee.
 Over at Anime News Network, someone points out that one drawing has been edited in the Viz's FMA Volume 8 manga. This was done WITH FULL APPROVAL FROM THE CREATOR.

To quote the first reply, "Cue the outcriers."

And they're off! The wank is growing, with lots of "OMG boycot Viz because of their editing" and "Well, time to start downloading the illegal scanlations" and "they just did this to placate the soccer moms" and such.

Ah, FMA wank. How we have missed thee.

As you can see, I ran out of steam of asking about fandoms pretty quick (the teen drama question was originally 'WB crap' because I didn't feel like writing out titles or remembering titles and oh god I love them all) so I settled for some other stuff.

For bonus questions, you can tell me how you feel about anonymice, as well as provide any extra details you wish.


EDIT: Son of a bitch!

I'm sorry for forgetting music fandom, guys. You can tell me in the comments if you're in music fandom, if you want to. As well as History Fandom, which, same offer as before.

7:58pm: Lonelygirl15 is not real! Oh noez!
 Dear despotic overlords mods of FW: I am posting this to fandom_wank based on the assumption that the videos depicting lonelygirl15 aka Bree are deliberate works of fiction and therefore this wank report does not violate the "no minors" rule.
Should pigs fly evidence emerge that lonelygirl15 is real, I will delete this post without complaint.

For those of you who are regulars over at YouTube, this will probably be old news. For those who have not yet heard about lonelygirl15, read on...

( warning, tl;dr ahead )
