Anne Rice Wank!
My Wank-O-Meter went off reading a post in another community where this received mention. Only this time it's not from the illustrious Holier-Than-The-Almighty Ms. Rice herself, but from one of her fans. It's a wee one, but it might grow.
weirdchick finishes reading Blood Canticle, and posts her personal opinion of it to
anne_rice.
For those of you not in the know, Blood Canticle was just released a few days ago. Most of you probably remember the wanks about spoilerage regarding HP and OotP earlier this year, right?
Well, she says she won't use an LJ-Cut on her post, and says "their crap". Now, to her credit, I will say she doesn't give away the ending, whatever it is. But she still discusses a very recently released novel in full view, and aspects of it, and merely tells people to just scroll on by if they don't want to be spoiled.
Which works about as well as you'd expect.
Aside from the beginnings of "how dare you spoil the book!" wank, there's the mocking of her improper usage of 'their' in her post.
Someone takes exception to people commenting on the misuse of 'their', or being upset about the book being spoiled, and says: "Have an open mind, for the gods' sake, you aren't better than anyone in this community, so quit acting like it."
It's small, but it's still new. More wank may come.
