reganwank 2004

Ladies and gents, I give you Regan, who wishes she was notorious but probably isn't. She used to be a James Marsters fan (Buffy and Angel, for those of you not familiar with his ex-platinum-ness). Her and Kat Eyz (Deb), Lemonparade (Cate) and some obscure but no doubt equally insane friend make up the Fearsome Foursome... or again, they probably like to think so.

Regan doesn't like James Marsters any more, probably because he refused to sleep with her at some point. So she calls him an alcoholic cokehead in her journal, and the wank begins.

Regan doesn't like Marsters, but goes to every convention he is at... Hmm. At the last convention she liked him, she buys him $200 worth of t-shirts. One of them is red, and he wears it at DragonCon 2003, (Oh No!). The fans don't like it, but Regan thinks he is sending her a message.

At Vulkon this year he wears it again, and his fans at Marsters Mobsters take offence. They wank mightily about Regan, who copies and pastes the juicy bits from the sadly deleted thread to her journal, and replies that he is in fact an alcoholic cokehead. Oh dear.

Regan later changes that to substance abuse, but we know better than to let a good libel go to waste, and some thoughtful person keeps screencaps. Regan then blames JCB (Marsters con manager) for telling her all this in super secret conversations.

Step in James_Translate, an anonymous journal dedicated to translating various announcements from his JM-ness and fans. Regan replies, and more splooge follows. Ha! But wait, so many people email Marsters manager Steve Himber, that an official announcement is made on Marsters website regarding nasty rumours. Then more wank follows regrding Himbers tone and meaning.

My fandom is imploding, and I likes it.

Is this what happens to a fandom when the central canon dies? I've never witnessed it before *gets popcorn*

This is a refreshing change of pace from the stinking, steaming pile of wank that is the FMA post below, namely because it's not on my friendslist. Hurrah!

Wait...why did she buy him t-shirts? Why did he expect them? Why did he wear them? And why the hell would be notice/care that he wore them??


*confused*

He always wears the same scruffy clothes, so there was a whole thing of buying him t-shirts. Most people bought him one, but these girls were enthusiastic fans.

Dear James Marsters:

Your fans are confusing and strange. Thought you ought to know.

For real. If I ever had sex with him like 900 times, we'd totally have to keep it a secret.

Uh, $200? She spent $200 on clothes for him? Crap. I'd love $200 to spend on toys clothes for me.

Handing a celebrity $200 worth of clothes at a convention. Is this typical? Or am I just not attuned to proper fan behavior?

Not typical, but also not the weirdest/most expensive gift his fans have given him either. Some people like to go the extra mile with him. Other con guests don't usually get many gifts.

I'm definately missing something... why on god's green earth would a fan spend that kind of money on an actor?

He's on a successful show, darling. He can afford his own freaking tshirts.

Fan gifts range from small and entirely appropriate (e.g., Rafe Glaucomastud mentions in an interview that he likes Rowntree's Lion Bars but can't get them in L.A., fans from UK bring him a fistful) to well-meant but kinda wacky (elaborate scrapbooks, mix tapes), to wince-inducing (naked fan art), to batshit.

When I met him last May, there were four big boxes behind him, presumably just for all the stuff people give him.

Not saying this girl isn't acting in a wanky way, but... obvious vendetta much?

The thing is, these girls wank constantly about him and no-one cares, but he chooses to wear a t-shirt and people are outraged to the extent that his manager is deluged with emails and has to make an official announcement. Over a t-shirt. The wanky girls versus the over-protective deluded fans. I liked it.

I personally have to concur. A sarcastic little whim of a presentation added to an account created solely for the day's wanking privilege -- not saying it's not wanky or that we don't appreciate your zeal, but next time when you want to take it out publicly, try a bit of impartiality and let people draw their own conclusions.

...not that the Regan critter isn't wanky as hell or anything. Red t-shirt. Hah.

These girls are fucked up. And this assholery is hardly new. Last year around the Vulkon Tampa Con they were all over fandom, wanking like mad. In fact, at the Vulkon Tampa Con, I found myself cornered in conversations with them not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times.

Whatever they have against Marsters is nearly two years old. And I was there when they gave him the t-shirts in Tampa (I was the last in the autograph line, they wer directly in front of me). He seemed pleased enough to get them and they were friendly enough to him. They may say ugly things aobut him behind his back, but they're just as sweet as sugar to his face. They did ask him to sign the "Framing Normon" photos though. He didn't even look at them, so if that was part of their master plan to make him uncomfortable or mock him, it didn't work.

I think people should just ignore them. The fandom has chugged along with those four (or so) in the background, wanking and making noise since what? S6? There's no implosions...nothing out of the norm really...

Jeez, if she's pissed he wouldn't sleep with her after her oh-so-generous gift of tee-shirts, she needs a smack with the starfucker 2x4. If he's a coke-head-alkie, show up with an 8-ball and a large bottle of Crown. DUH!

Speaking as a James fan myself, this just makes me weep tears of sadness and confusion.

Dear James Marsters,

Not all your fans are insane. Only the stupid ones are.

Love, a fan just as confused as you probably are.
