A F_W Musical Interlude


BNFers

Tune: Heavy Horses(abridged version)
by Jethro Tull

Iron-clad egos meet surfing the 'Net,
An October's day, toward evening
Secretly vain, playing shy for the crowd,
Loff from fangirls seasoning.

Earning your fame from another soul's toil
Churning the canon under,
Flint doing wetwork, Lex as a ho,
Books and TV shows plundered.

The Smallville, Harry Potter, and anime fen vie
With their squees! and fav-fic voting,
Praise each word because they feel they must;
Fill you with a warm smug gloating.

chorus
BNFers, keep the wank up for me
Behind your screen names whining and snarking free
Now you believe your own press and your fandom's a mess:
Implosion's on its way

Let a post on fandom_wank show your latest misdeed
To keep the old feuds going.
And your rabid fans, all aghast that somebody would
Say your feet of clay are showing,
Defend you from eyes that mock at your wank;
They're evil and envy your glory.

And one day when these mean bitches have all seen the light,
And come crawling to say they're sorry,
They'll beg to be put on your LJ friends' list,
Offer {{hugs}} to show their caring.
And you'll shine once again at the top of the heap,
Self-important and over-bearing.

(chorus, twice)
