6:15pm: Non-sexy wank about Torchwood
Small Torchwood wank, and not the kind that makes Jack happy in the pants.

It begins when [info]santousha makes an entry in her LJ asking whether or not Ianto Jones from Torchwood could be a Mary Sue. People of course react, one of them is someone claiming to be the instigator, [info]karaokegal. [info]karaokegal says she will stay out of the conversation because she partly started the debate, but somehow fails to follow through on her words.

She even goes so far as later making her own journal entry about how Ianto is RTD's Mary Sue.

[info]santousha insists on making two more posts about this topic to make sure it's clear that shagging Jack does not make someone special.
7:00pm: Reviews are MEEEAN and Sekrit Concrit! And totally NOT for the readers! Part LXXXIV
Meet [info]kyuuketsukirui. She writes reviews for SGA on her LJ , and recently reviewed a bunch of stories on [info]mcshep_match. [info]kyuuketsukirui commits the unpardonable fandom sin of saying she's disappointed in the latest [info]mcshep_match stories and will be posting her reviews soon.

Meet [info]lamardeuse. She doesn't approve of [info]kyuuketsukirui's disappointment in the stories or her reviews and says so. Many people agree with her, in the process confusing concrit and reviews. [info]kyuuketsuikirui shows up to politely disagree. [info]lamardeuse and her friends don't respond well. [info]darkrose brings in a bit of Earth logic, but it's not enough to leaven out the massive amount of Unclear On the Concept, alas.

So [info]kyuuketsukirui writes a post clarifying her position on reviews and reviews of fanfic and fandom.

[info]zillah975 makes a post about this whole civility/reviews/concrit situation, including a thread in which [info]anatsuno laments that life on the Nice Side ain't all it's cracked up to be. [info]telesilla does a post too.

No responses from [info]lamardeuse and friends. At least, not publically. That wouldn't be civil, after all.

ETA: Supposedly [info]lamardeuse was responding to [info]lavvyan, though [info]kyuuketsukirui's post seems to have been the back-breaking straw.
