Current mood:

Holier-than-thou

I can't believe this hasn't been posted already.
For those who haven't been following, fanfic_hate is back with a vengeance, and the anime thread is chock full o' wank. (I still haven't seen my name there, but I live in hope!) Of course, this is old news. Hate communities beget wank. Right?

Well, someone thinks there's just not enough.

The new moderator, sock_it_up, has instituted a policy of freezing threads that get too abusive-- either of the comm itself, or of specific authors or fans. An anon with the sock journal fandomsux takes exception to this policy, and creates fandom_hate, where, and I quote, "YOU CAN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT WITHOUT POSTS BEING FROZEN." People, too.

So far, the anonymice are not impressed:

lol loooooozzzzeeeerrrrrr. There's nothing more pathetic than making another journal imitating another just because you don't get your way.

People too, eh? Hope you don't mind if we start with YOU, then.

"Waaah! I didn't get my way, so I'm going to make another community where I can attack not just fics, but the people who write them! I want to anonymously talk about how terrible and snooty they are, while ignoring my own cowardice and hypocrisy because I'm not only doing worse than what I accuse them of doing, I'm doing it behind the shield of anonymity because I don't want people to get mad at meeeeeeeeeeee! Waaaaaaah!"

Yep, this community is off to a great start. Byeeeeee!

And as an added bonus, fandom_wank's name is taken in vain yet again.

ETA: Comments are now turned off at fandom_hate (though, to be fair, the threads weren't frozen! JUST DELETED.), and an anonymouse takes exception to my mood. *sniff* It's all so beautiful!

I've already addressed this at the other yahoogroup,but here's my
reply anyway:

Hey all,

Yes,guilty as charged. Talk about keen sense and sharp eyes. ;)

I stand properly rebuked and remorseful and I swear on Sirius
Black's grave that I shall not do this again as it had caused a lot
of disappointment amongst the ranks.

In mitigation, I must say though that I was pressed for time and
when I asked my mum to help me out,she suggested I use some corny
lines from this book she was reading.

And stupid me agreed.

To all and sundry, my sincerest apologies once again.And I hope to
write an original story soon once I'm less hassled.

After all,I have tons of ideas from the Malaysian Idol's goings-
on. :D

The remorseful one,
*^wickedwitch*^

p/s> Kids,plagiarism is WRONG! You heard it here first.

See, this is where she went wrong, right here. If you get caught doing something naughty (bad ficcer! bad!) then you get down on your knees and grovel and apologise to all and sundry. And if you're lucky, they give you another chance. What you do not do is attempt to lay the blame (all or part of it) on someone else, be it your mother, your best friend, your dog or whatever other sockpuppet you invent to take the rap for your misdemeanour. That just makes you look whiny and ungracious in defeat.

Silly fangirl, you should know that "Yeah, I did wrong, but, but, but it wasn't my fault!!!" never works in real life.
