WARNING: Gaia wank ahead.

Okay, so it starts when one Mr Smigs posts the following in the writer's forum:



1. Stop the Madness... stop writing fanfics... if the creator of the story wanted that to happen in their world, it would have...
be origional, make your own stories in your own worlds...


2. If you're going to try to lable me... at least get it right... I'm Pompous more than pretentious...

and those who try to discredit me do little more then prove they are nothing but sheep... bleeting their empty praises to the masses while providing nothing useful to society but what people can take by shearing them...




Not wanky enough on its own, but it gets better when he later says he hates fanfiction because:

see the problem is that for the 1 in a ba-jillion fanfics that is even worth reading, all those others are people who think they might have some chance at being like that 1....
therein lies the problem
while fanfics exist, wannabes will exist


I don't know how bad fanfic writer = wannabe in Smigs' mind but it does.

To be honest, his whining over being labeled and his firm belief that he is a unique and special snowflake in a mass of sheep coupled with his obnoxious overuse of elipses makes me want to hit him more than his stance on fanfiction. And he claims he isn't pretentious.

The whole she-bang is here. It's small now, but it's likely to grow, what with that Hemp Fandango chick getting her knickers in a twist.

Edit because it's getting better: Smigs returns.

first up... hate fanfics 'cause they're from wanabees who write crap, think it's good, and take offence at criticism...

second... the "fanfics" that people do see (dracula, myths whatnot)... have at least been published... doesn't mean they're great... but does mean that someone thinks they were good enough to publish... or remember in the case of myths... that says alot for them... internet released fics don't have that going for them... thus it's like a plague of rats spreading their bile across my screen...

proper grammar, spelling i don't need. I'm an engeneer... i'd speak withcode, but i doubt even the 1337 would get that...
and i think to fast to double check anyways...


I wish I were an "engeneer" then I wouldn't have to bother with that whole spelling and grammar nonsense. I somehow doubt "thinking too fast" is your problem, sweets.
