Mugging in the Park
Author gets annoyed at FA's over-elaborate author's pages. Mods wank snark back making barely-concealed banning threats. All in all, just a typical day in HP-world. Lap it up, wankers!


Edited to fix link. Thanks.

Welcome.

I see no barely-concealed banning threats, only a lot of 'shut the fuck up, ungrateful free service user scum' aka 'FA - love it or leave it'.

And four pages quality wank. Tasty.

That was tasty wank. Filling, yet light enough on the spooge so not to make one sick. Hints of pretension and jurisprudence law-breaking with a dab of old-fashioned "internet resume"-dropping toward the end. Finishes on a sour note, but that's to be expected.

*dabs lips delicately*

Next time, I'll have a wank like this but with a big cup of Shut the Fuck Up for the finale. It will make it just that much more special.

Huh. Maybe it's cause I'm not familiar with FAP, but the only person I saw wanking, after reading two pages of that, was the OP.

"OMG This free site I'm using isn't catering to ME ME ME"

Dude. Don't like it, make your own site.

I think the FA mods should ban Aeryn Alexander's whiny ass and remove her stories from the site. Exactly what part of "it's FREE, bitch" does she not understand? In response, she can always start a new site, ficshionaly.org.

Where's your FA now, Aeryn? Where's your FA now?!

Oh dear lord, will the OP please just shut up? Seeing her (or him, or whatever) behave like an utter twat is what'll stop me from reading her fics, not there being links to other things in a side bar. I mean, if I am at an author page, I'm there because I want to read the fic. I'm not there because I want to look at fanart or participate in a discussion. Having those links there will not stop me reading the fic in question.

I swear, if it had been up to me, I'd have been hammering the 'ban' button by the end of page one...

While aerynalexander might have phrased her complaint better and some of the mods might have phrased their replies better, I was glad to see that it's possible to have a heated debate in HP fandom these days and not get wankily banned by childish (usually teens or close enough) mods. I think there may be some light at the end of the tunnel for online HP fen! I have some sympathies for both sides in this one, by the way.

You should in fact be honored that, with so few posts on FAP, I chose to come over to post here via a link on my friendslist because your post infuriated me so much that I had to say something.


Yes, because lurking around so much on a site doing reviews and posting in LJ and YM and IM means you're really important

Honey, get a ladder and get over yourself, okay?

IT's the "hard-working author" who's wanking, not the mods, IMO. She's being a rude annoying bitch. Th author area is the biggest thing on the page, the ads are a couple of little boxes way down at the bottom, and shes just pissed for sharing the page and not being the STAR. Mods are right. If shes so unhappy, let her pay for her space.

The OP is being a dickhead. Don't like teh free site? Insert your fic in one of the five-billion other free Harry Potter archive whores sites out there in Internet la-la-land.

Thing is, I lap it up laughing because I agree with the OP's opinions of FAP's design. I think it sucks. It's been teh ugly since they changed from the one with Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley. I think it's really hideous.

However, since I don't like it, I don't go there. It's a pretty simple concept, really. It works beautifully.

Pity the OP doesn't seem to grasp it.

So...wait. Now Internet worth = the number of posts you have at your site of choice?

What's the currency between posts/LJ friends/ fic reviews/ fic hits again?

3 people who have you on their f-list = 12 posts = 5 reviews?
*scratches head* or was that before the grand BNF fallout that increased the post stocks and had such a terrible effect on the already ff.net influenced review ones and-

Oh, good Christ.

Point the first: How insulting is it that the OP assumes anyone who makes their way to her author page will immediately be distracted by the other links and swept away by the current that is Internet Surfing? It's like I have no will of my own! I mean, I certainly have the attention span to-- ooh, shiny! ::wanders off::

::wanders back::

Point the second:
I am a full time graduate student. You tell me if you think I have the time to learn html and design a website.

Bitch, please. I learned enough HTML in one afternoon to design a website, and that was back when I was in high school. Granted, it was a crappy website, but you learn as you go. Hence why my personal site went through about five redesigns until I was happy with it. And I do all my coding myself; that's not even mentioning Dreamweaver or any other build-a-website-in-five-minutes software that's out there.

Bottom line: full time graduate student or no (and ooh, I'm so impressed), if you have the time to write frickin' fanfic, you have the time to learn enough HTML to slap your stories up on your own personal page.

Of course, it won't look nearly as nice as the author pages as FAP. (Ooh! Burn!)

In response to this comment:

"We're not all post-whores, we don't all have the huge amounts of time to read and comment on everything."

aerynalexander says:

"Several days a week I set my alarm early in order to have enough time to check messages or the boards before I start my day. I have the time only because I am willing to make the time. I go short on sleep so I still have time to BE INVOLVED here. That's why I have a high post count."

All of her other comments made me laugh; this one had me speechless. I really don't know what to say (other than the OP is one of the most whiny, pretentious entitlement queens I've ever seen. What a spoiled little snot).
