Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

12:57pm: The PR devils are at it again!
Lifted in part from the anonymice at wank_report, with some added batshittery gleaned from links around my flist:

( Have you missed the intense batshittery of the domlijah tinhats? SPN is stepping up to fill the void! )

2:06pm: Some point-and-LOL fun, instead of absolute bat shit craziness for a change today! First things first, not my find.

Anyway, Darkqueenakasha makes a post in ontd_startrek, asking people to not post about ZQ [Zachary Quinto] being gay or not. Obviously, a very good idea. Not understanding the point of ONTD and ONTD related communities in general, she blames her noob-status on the misunderstanding of why people would post gossip about celebrities in a gossip community!

Only, there's a bigger issue at hand! Darkqueenakasha? She's a moderator of salinto, a community dedicated to Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto RPF (real person fiction) and when called out on her hypocrisy and general stupidity she comments to her own post first but then edits her post to get the point across that she only created the RPF communities because people expressed interest in the subject of Salinto RPF and there were no communities set up yet for said pairing and was just helping and doing the fandom a favor even though she may or may not care for RPF and few begin to speculate if it's a coincidence or not that she asks for gay rumor postings to stop since she runs a het-RPF comm! *breathes*... Although she says something here, it's still a rather lulzy defense no matter what.

She also edits this thread in her post, which caused me to go searching. There were more posts, but only one I didn't know that! comment, thanking darkqueenakasha for her mighty work in the Star Trek Fandom, and the Alabama Anime fans, and the VA WoW Players and AALT2: African Americans with Asian Interests because of course, she's just trying to help.

Helpful? Perhaps, yes. Going about it the way she did? Good old fashioned LOLS. And if that doesn't make you laugh, there are 14 pages of GIFS, I'm sure you'll find something to amuse you (the Karl Urban ones on page two are pure win).


Also, tell that to the J2 crazies.

5:32pm: The Russet Doom Saga, Part VI
Guess what today is, you guys! That's right! It's Except NOT! ( A quick review. )

And would you look at the calendar? It's... June 2nd. There have been no posts tagged "lady sybilla" or "russet noon" at Foforks since the interview came out April 5th... what happened to the exclusive Brazilian premeire of Russet Noon chapter one? Well, apparently June 1st didn't quite work out, for whatever reason. Naturally, it's time for a new press release (already Caito-cloned here):

Russet Noon: Chapter 1 Will Be Released in English, Portuguese and Spanish

AV Paranormal will be releasing the first chapter of the novel Russet Noon in three different languages: English, Portuguese and Spanish. Chapter 1 is out this Tuesday, June 2 at midnight (Pacific) at russet-noon.com and foforks.com.br/

My personal favorite tidbits:

AV Paranormal is seriously considering the possibility of delaying the publication of the book until November to coincide with the theater release of the movie sequel to Twilight, New Moon.

and

AV Paranormal is also planning a contest for readers to win free tickets to see the movie sequel to Twilight, New Moon.

Because if there's anything this fanfic needs, it's more publicity stunts. More ETAs to come, I'm sure: the sharks, eager as ever to chomp, are just waiting for Sybsy to dip her toes in the pool fall into the deep end.

ETA: Chapter 1 is out. I have no idea whether the prose is as bad as the formatting, but at the end of 21 pages (um, book pages, not web pages), there is this little note:

Would you like to express your opinion about this chapter? AV Paranormal is very interested in receiving your feedback and suggestions. We welcome any type of criticism, either positive or negative. Email us your reactions and we will publish them here. Please be advised that hate emails with insults will not be published. There are diplomatic and polite ways to express your opinion, even if it's negative, so please keep your emails civilized.

Well, if you don't have anything nice to say, come and sit by me.

ETA: Sybsy supposedly has a PR guy now, whom she thanks by name on Twitter and is also listed as a contact at this version of the last press release.

ETA: This is Lady Sybilla's new favorite thing. Basically some dude on the internet thinks copyright is bunk. Too bad exhorting others to relinquish copyright doesn't actually change copyright laws. She probably found it by googling herself, because someone named Sheila brings up Russet Noon in the comments.

Oh, but if it means that she's relinquishing her own copyright, that means you can probably take Russet Noon and repost it anywhere, like your own journal or lol_meme or GAFF or wherever. You wouldn't even have to stick a spork in it. You could also probably save it all in one file and make it available for download. (I'm not saying you should, I'm just saying you could, and she couldn't make a copyright claim to anyone's host server.) Not that her copyright was ever really hers to begin with, but yeah.

There is also a Russet Noon blog with a huge banner made from Stephanie Lostimolo's work. Theft begets theft!

Meanwhile, Gilloughly at Absolute Write has a huge hate-on for Sybsy, to the point where I think he's showing up in my journal to tattletale. (If that's not Gilloughly, it's someone who seems to copy and paste off his forum posts, because it sounds just like him.)

There is also now a Russet Noon MST on twitter.

Speaking of Twitter, Sybsy's been pretty funny lately:

#The sharks at absolutewrite are desperately trying to shut me down, but there's always fanfiction.net if they succeed

#they wrote to Little, Brown and got ignored, so now they're trying to take matters into their own hands

#it's humbling to see how my work inspires such a strong passion in people

#hate and love are just opposite poles of the same emotion

#fame and infamy are, indeed, one and the same</i></i>

Bet Gilloughly would like to hit her with that pole, yo.

10:43pm: OH GOD! NOT THE KEYBOARD!
Thanks, mousie from wank_report!

So this E3, it was news that Tales of Monkey Island (trailer here) will be made for WiiWare and the PC. One bit of the article caught the fans' attentions.

The colorful 3D world can be explored using the Nunchuk and pointer on the Wii or the keyboard and mouse if you're playing on the PC.

Let's just say that the PC-users are not pleased with Telltale Games.

RMJ1984: It really is a shame, when companies goes down this ignore path, because they are on the consoles, then we have to suffer with so bad controls, that it ruins the immersion and the game.

I wont support games with inferior controls, we need the same or evolution or deevolution.

Just a shame when a company with their big ego cant see when stuff doesnt work, so either stop making youre games to consoles, or implement both type of control schemes.

Guess we can count in next Sam and Max being ruined as well, oh well thats 2 games i wont be getting. Its scary because no matter how good a game is, its absolutely worthless, when the controls sucks, and youre new ones does, im sorry, but i would have fired the person(s) who made them.

what a shame, never thought Telltale would become like this, but thanks.
And dont even start on the "Mouse only" doesnt work, because it does.

Edit:

and as people say go back to the drawing board, stop making console games or pc games, or implement both schemes, a use on this very forum has shown it works much better even with mouse only.

So why are you lying? why are you so interessed in this inferior control system? the mind really does buggle, i mean yeah we users are demanding, stick to controls that actully work, and dont break the fun of the game immersion.
