Spooge.
Long time wankee first time wanker.

Basically, the PotC fandom doesn't like blatant child molestation stories that star Elizabeth and Norrington. Unfortunately, MeghanJinx writes one and posts it on pirategasm. They argue that the rating is incorrect, it's not appropriate for the community, they don't know what 'chan' means. In short, they argue: this is not the Harry Potter fandom where you can pair Snape and a Broomstick and get positive reviews.

One of the more funny bits, however, was when 'marquesate' asked why they were all reading the story if they don't like it? Mud is flung by 'webcrowmancer' - "omgomgomg, you didn't read the story, therefore YOU MUST LIKE IT." The entire thread is made up of hyperbole and warped logic - "Anyone who disagrees that kiddie-porn is evil is obviously evil too! Even when they don't disagree at all!"

I don't know whether it will grow, and grow, or just die the death of 'get the fuck over it' - these things always seem to cause controversy.

Bwah! One of the best descriptions of HP fandom and fanfic I've seen.

Indeed.

But I'm more about Draco/Firebolt. Snape just uses his hand, like the rest of the fandom.

However, I still get reviewers who go into fits of spastic rage when I write Fred/George/Angelina/Katie/Alicia. Yes, all at once.

Yargh. This be the first wank, ever, that I have an appropriate icon for.



Unfortunately, I can't think of anything to say. Pedophilia are = teh suxx0rz. But, it's just a fic, so whatever. Besides, she's half his age even during the timeline of the movie, so I kind of consider Norrington a bit of a pervert anyway.

Also, although everyone else already realized this, "Why do you read (whatever) if you don't like it?" is a stupid question. The answer is obvious. We do it so that we can mock you. Bitch, owned.

Can you fill me in? I recognize the name Meghanjinx but can't remember why I should...

Why did this not surprise you?

Did I read the story? Hell no. Non-con/child sex? Sooooo not my cup of tea. Should she write it? Post it? Well, yeah (reluctant)... but her warnings sucked eggs. With such a 'hot' topic, I think stronger warnings would have been a Good Thing.

I dunno about wankiness. I didn't see a lot of "you're sick! ban her! ban her!" going on...

I thought I did, actually, right before I said "Move along"...

Such is life. Pirategasm is a pretty friendly community where people don't usually just yell "YOUR FIC SUCKS" but are more likely to politely discuss your use of language.

Hence the rather ongoing debate. I think the person who has submitted it here is going a bit overboard, really (forgive the pun) seeing as the thread CERTAINLY hasn't turned into the kind of mud-slinging flame-fest I'd expect in a newsgroup, for instance.

'chan' therefore technically refers to slash, due to the origins of the term. Female girlchildren would notably NOT be picked as apprentices to Samurai, thus pederasty AND chan are both actually inappropriate terms for this fic in the Header/Warning, as it is specifically het fic.

Is webcrowmancer talking out her ass or what?

I'm most amused by the "hey, I didn't know what chan was!" when it says two lines above the warning in the summary that Elizabeth has her first sexual experience at age 12. Context, people!

And the pederasty "debate" made my eyes roll out of my head.

the writer is actually handling all this shit pretty well. no tantrums, no protests about her freedom of speech being violated. or at least not in public. good for her.

it's just a tiny snippet of a fic. nothing to get so worked up over. pfft.

I'll just sit here in my little corner and fangirl over Norrington, because although I've never seen the movie, Jack Davenport is, like, Teh Man. Thanks.

(And I finally understand the origin of "chan"! This wank is so educational!)
