Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

4:18pm: Sylar does NOT want to eat your brain, dude.
Oh, I just know some of y'all are going to feel me on the meta-irony of this one. :)

Over on LJ, regisjr has decided to make a new community just for gay and lesbian fans of the NBC scifi show, Heroes.

Apparently, there has been a lot of drama over this!!! Because regisjr has posted the following missive in no less than five different places, alleging that "everyone thinks it's a weird idea":

( GET OVER IT AND LET US SHOW OUR SUPPORT FOR THE SHOW!  )
With a rant like that, you would think there was an avalanche of opposition to the idea in the fandom, right? Right. Problem is, there's not. In fact, all visible reactions - what meager few there have been - range from the harmlessly snarky to the supportive, with only a few people questioning why regisjr felt unsafe in such a slash-heavy fandom, including other gay and lesbian fans of the show. This person is emblematic of the general reaction, which is a polite "I just don't see the point, but go for it!"

Basically, if there is an avalanche of opposition, it's either all been through e-mail, or really, really difficult to find, or all in regisjr's head. However, he continues to post about how terribly brave he's being in the face of all this oppression.

I think it's safe to say that msscribe had the persecution routine down much better than this. He didn't even bother to make up any sock puppets. C- for effort.

[Edited to add: Several of the comm posts have since been deleted by the mods due to lack of damn given relevance.]

8:20pm: Nothing like classic sockpuppets, bannings, Gryffindor Tower references, and Harry Potter to settle you in for a night of wank, is there?

Sink Into Your Eyes is a fairly popular Harry/Ginny fanfic archive obviously known for it's catching name. Yesterday one of the mods, Steve (aka AdminQ) decided to "prank" the website by allowing a fanfic (subtly named "Pornography") that was blatantly against the rules and take away the other moderator's ability to remove said fanfic.

And by remove said fanfic, I mean removing all abilities to moderate anything on the website and putting a "We're hiring" sign out on the most recent news section. This, of course, after saying he doesn't care about the rules that website owner (currently away, possibly in Iraq, I've heard) has put in place.

lecook4 spills the beans that Steven/AdminQ is Tyler, the author of the offending fanfic, as well as another author who was banned from the website before. The other mods? A little pissed about this. Members seem to agree that this sort of power struggle should be left in the private area.

He's all ready deleted part of his post, but here's the screencap for you with the full text. It's also still going pretty strong, there's plenty of people who agree with him and others who think he's a complete ass.

Sure, he's obviously no Msscribe, but when you're competing with the best you tend to trip up early on. Given time, we'll see improvement.
