If nothing else, it's got staying power!
I give you the Great Trigun Wank '04, that's been going on for about three months now, with the same arguments ciculating ad nauseum. Yet somehow, it still hasn't gotten old. This is a long story, but I'd like to see it preserved for future generations. From the start.

[info]100bullets, the Trigun drabble comm, is a happy place where, through some fluke of the universe, yaoi (dominantly W/V) and het (dominantly V/M) fans manage to coexist without killing each other. Weekly challenges are issued wherein participants are assigned challenges suggested by other participants, and everybody has a good time. Until [info]lushdesolation shows up and makes it very clear that she doesn't like yaoi, citing religious reasons for her dislike.

The yaoi crowd is hacked, but amazingly, all hell does not break loose. Yet. Until she does it again. And again. And again.

Around this time, [info]millyfan starts getting all up in people's junk about being mean to [info]lushdesolation. Yes, this is important, trust me.

Changing tack, [info]lushdesolation writes her own yaoi drabble positively dripping with scorn. She also makes the staggeringly insightful comment that it's okay to be gay if you're evil, but not if you're one of the protagonists.

"I don't mind writing yaoi for villians - as for heroes who are not explicitly yaoi in canon, I don't want to make them yaoi. To me, making Vash and Wolfwood have hot mutual buttsex...would be "tainting" them - at least, tainting Vash, whom I see as an extremely moral character."

It doesn't much go over well, and she then posts an apology for acting like an ass. Said apology would be a whole lot easier to swallow, if she didn't lace it with pity-me comments about cutting herself.

Not long after [info]lushdesolation promises to shape up, she's at it again, in a drabble that's not even yaoi. People get pissed off, [info]millyfan freaks out and both are banned for a month for being rude and unseemly by community mod [info]jaina. Several posts later, taking advantage of anonymous posting, [info]lushdesolation gives people a piece of her mind before drifting off into the ether.

Fast forward to present. Fresh from her one-month ban, [info]lushdesolation makes her presence known, refrencing a thread she started on the Godawful Fanfiction boards detailing why [info]100bullets sucks. Regulars from [info]100bullets are attracted by the sound of spooge, and wank happens elsewhere. Sensing people talking about her, [info]lushdesolation shows up because bashing a comm in a different forum and then bragging about to the targets themselves is so not wank omg.

She then makes the obligatory "STFU I'm going home" post and gives the comm the finger. Showing what a true friend she is, [info]millyfan makes some hideous icons to commemorate the event.
