Intellectual Snobbery In The Most Unlikely Places...
Fans of The Tribe are desperately hoping for a sixth series of the show. In the meantime, much in a similar fashion of HP fans who just agonized over the long wait for OotP, many in the fandom (I will put money on Tribe fanfic being the worst fanfic out there, EVAR) decided the only way they can get some satisfaction is to write season 6 themselves.

It starts off with someone posting the url to Tribeverse, where someone has created a webcomic of their own version of Season 6.

On the official BB, keon says, Like most 'fan' attempts at continuation, this lacks imagination and is driven almost solely by repetitive, inartistic, mindlessness meant to evince 'pleasure.' This is why it is better for original artists to fully control their own work; because no one else can understand, let alone present, their vision otherwise. I hope the real series six would be focussed on relevant issues and not just be a parody of the earlier seasons which only concerns itself with tribelore.

This is followed by much wank, including the 'It's not fanfic, it's a webcomic!', the eternally admonoshed advice of 'If you can't say anything constructive, don't say anything at all.' (Which basically means leave a message saying OMG SO KEWL I LUV IT!), the author defending herself over making massive canon changes, and the argument of fanfic as having literary versus pop culture merit.

Oh, and here is where I confess, I wank about it myself.

But it's only a teeny i_wank! Only a fleshwound of an i_wank!

Still, I have to give this discussion credit for being incrementally more intelligent then most of the postings on the Tribe BB.

Enjoy!

"This is a mute point that we are arguing"

Then why won't she just shut up?

Well, somebody has to speak for the mute points, since they can't do it themselves.

Dude, what show are you watching? I know it ain't The Tribe, 'cause I watch The Tribe and any vision there is bumpin' into shit like Mr. Magoo.

Also this guy is a ton more fun if you imagine him as Stewie from Family Guy.

What I want to know is when The Tribe will stop showing the same 20 episodes over and over on Wham and Movieplex. I want to see the early episodes! It got so I never even turn it on anymore.

Intelligent discussion is indeed a rare find on Tribeworld BB.....scary really.

I was waiting to see if you were going to post this before posting it myself, as I knew you were a member now.

**would be wanking in the thread herself if they would send the freaking confirmation email to activate my account after having to register on their new board**

I don't know fuck-all about The Tribe, although I'd like to see it...but the comic...well, it sucks.

Not just because of the use of cut-and-pasted cartoon dollz (which is reason enough by itself), but because the writing looks like a fifth-grader's attempts at being cool.

But that's just me.

Yeah, I complimented her on knowing how to write a story, but you'll notice I didn't say anything about the art or the fact that it's not particularly riveting.

Firstly, I love your icons.
Secondly, how can you bear to even read the BB any more? Makes my brain hurt...
Thirdly, that was an, um, interesting looking webcomic. Pity I didn't make it past the first page.
Fourthly, you're right about the fanfic.
