	Word. (Dunc, how did I know you'd be the first reply? g) TFN wank is the bestest. Nothing like fanboys, especially trooper fanboys, with an overinflated sense of self. (jainamsolo on lj) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There is such a thing as being toooooo into a fandom. ECG 'founding member'? Chill. It's all just costumes and toy props anyway. I love fandom. ^_^ (Reply to this)

	Oh, I was in an HP wank here a couple weeks ago. We were nothing but a tiny dribble of spooge compared to the last one, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)

This reinforces why I haven't touched Star Wars costuming since the Halloween after Episode One... ;-) I've even met/been invited to join one of these super-accurate-elitest-scifi-costuming groups out here in CA; I've done my best to run the other way. No mater how tempting it is to be able to acquire weapons from the original molds for Aliens, I don't need the drama...

	Same. As much as I'd love to finish my Arden Lyn costume and go trapsing around all dolled up in pleather and droid bits, I always ask myself, "Do I really want to be bothered by ANY of the people who would actually appreciate this costume?" And the answer is always no. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The Fan Force groups had assimalated thier way into our group[...] ...they do Star Trek costuming on alternate Tuesdays, I take it. But seriously, I can't read this. Not that I'm not a horrid SW nerd, but New York, costumes? Not my drill. (Reply to this)

	Sheesh. the 501st strikes again. "we're an exclusive, professional group." Dude, you wear white plastic armor and scare small children with your buddies. (Says the high-waisted woman who is trying to figure out where to put the other 4 boobs for her next con costume) Now I must go write some Trooperball to take the wank from my mouth. (Reply to this)

	Does anyone else find the use of terms like "force", "garrison", and "professional" REALLY funny in light of the fact that it's FANDOM? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I don't know what's sadder, the fact that fans make such an issue over costumes or the fact that people took the time to copy it, post it and discuss it. I think everyone involved needs a hobby--But wait! A HOBBY is what started all this! SHEESH! I am going back to my LOTR group now, THEY are normal! (Reply to this)

	-MONTHS- later I was chatting with a friend about that website, and said 'oh! i think i read a wank about that'..and lo and behold... SHE IS DARTH JURIST. I'm seriously amused. I know someone involved in wank now. Hawt. (Reply to this)
