Small, old, shrivelled, mostly already deleted (but saved for posterity!) wanks
Short wanks, long post.

This little group of wanks is very old, and now very deleted. They are from Adele Sessler, who is a fandom by herself, for herself and of herself. Some of you might be familiar with her from her Meadowhaven site. Long ago, she wrote two long Legend of Zelda fics. Then she took them off the internet, demanded that no one ever speak of them again because, in her words, "Zelda is ruining my career"! and revised said fanfictions into "original" stories.

Now, I could post the wanks in which Adele defends herself against claims of "your stories are a little yaoi-ish"... (Grabbing Faeren, he twisted him around backward, restrained him tightly, and dug his fingers into the boy’s side.
Faeren yelped and doubled over, trying to pull away, but Link’s grip was far stronger, and he was relentless. Faeren was soon crying so hard with laughter he was unable to beg for mercy. He could only submit, and hope Link was humane enough to stop the tickling.
“I give up! I give uuuup!!”
Laughing, Link let up on the torture, allowing his apprentice a small breather. But he didn’t release him.
“You going to be smart with me anymore?”
“No, my-- uhh.... Link.” Faeren finished, screwing up his face. It felt too weird to call his King by his true name, when he had been used to calling him by his royal title all of his life.
“There, that wasn’t so hard, was it?”

Heehee, "submit, screwing, hard!")

...but I'll skip that for now. (Anyway, none of us are supposed to have a copy of her fics anymore, so there's that too. I'm a bad kitty.) I'll keep it to the more fun, short wanks.

Long story short: Adele is wildly popular with a 12-16 year old art clique, a few older people in there, too, and wildly unpopular outside of said clique because of her "don't critique me and always do as I say" attitude. An odd fact is that a lot of the wank gets deleted real quickly, but a handful of people save the wank and, get this, email texts of her wank to each other. Most of the time this is kept really private, because when Adele posts anything on her website forum to the effect of "these people are mean to me!" her flunkies threaten everything from mailbombing to TOSing. You're really, really, really not allowed to say anything bad about her. Her main flunkie and the guy who runs her site has had people thrown off their ISP for saying something mean to Adele, so this stuff can get touchy.

But I just said hell with it, if anyone will appreciate some of these wanks it's F_W. I'll try to walk everyone through these because they are mostly text and due to quick deleting, very few existing links. Now where to start? How about the comment board on Adele's Elfwood site two summers ago?

It all starts when one reviewer doesn't have his nose crammed far enough up her ass and suggests a change: My complaint is that every single one of your pictures, the faces look alike. They are done very well but you never change what they essentially look like, it's like you only know how to draw two faces, the Fearen face (good guys) and the Morgan face (not so good guys.) Even your girls look like Fearen with different hair. A little more imagination on your part might be good.

Says Adele: A little more attentiveness on yours might be good, too. It's more of a racial thing. If you were visiting Japan, at first glance all Japanese people would look alike. Small stature, black hair, slanted eyes. But once you got to know a few of them, you would see how subtly different every single person was, and you would be able to tell them apart. Same with my characters. They're all elves, they're all going to have the basics that make them elves: slender, fair, pointy-eared, ect. But if you knew them as I do, you would be able to tell them all apart with no problem.

Says, well...a whole group of sensitive, PC people,

:-O Maybe you don't mean this to sound as RACIST as it does, but it does. ALl Japanese people do not look alike, even at firts glance. They are not "subtely" different, they are vastly different like americans adelle. I have a big problem with you saying this cause I am half japanese and my mother is japanese and her family. Growing up she heard this a LOT. The other thing I have to say is that you are the artist of your characters and it is up to you to show the viewers that they look different, saying "if you knew them the way i do they would look different" is a bad excuse. This is not the first time you have said racist things though. It makes me sad and has hurt other peopels feelings before too. :( :( :( :( IT IS NOT HARD TO TELL JAPANESE PEOPLE APART!!! Not at first glance, not ever!!!!!


And my personal favorite: Excuse me but all Japanese people look alike at first? Umm when did this happen? You know when my sis told me that you said this I didn't beleive her at first but now I see it for myself. Yes Adele all Japanese people look alike, right, if you say so. You must also think they arr tark rike this. Flied lice please. God! why would you say such a thing. Then she showed me what you said in your blog about Black people. You know just because your white doesn't mean you have the right to go around hurting peoples feelings.

Adele says, It wasn't racist. It was you who made it racist because you wanted it to be. lol, I am not racist against Japanese, I draw anime! I was making a simple point, I was not singling out people. You threw my words all out of context, ignored when I tried to explain--called me a liar, actually--and made a war out of it so you could have good 'e-mail gossip fodder', which is exactly what you've just told me. No matter what my real meaning was behind anything, you read only what you wanted to see. What normal person goes looking through a random artist's gallery for something he/she can spread around through e-mail? It doesn't make sense. You came here deliberately to start fights, and find something to use for fuel..

Nobody seems to actually read what I say. I said they do NOT all look alike, and that was my whole point! To a newcomer who has never before seen a crowd of people of ANY race, AT FIRST GLANCE (look up the word glance, will you?) they're all going to look alike. Yes, even whites! Same basic face structure, hairstyles, ears, eyes, ect. It's only when you get on a personal level that you see the differences. In retrospect, I could have used a better example, yes, and I'm sorry if that hurt any feelings. It was definitely not intended. Perhaps I should have used PLANTS instead? Would anyone get defensive over plants?



And that was all pretty funny.

Same month, Adele gets a blog. Around that time, one of her friends gets a life. Adele...doesn't. Take cover, she lobs the jizz and gets it right in your eye! And guess what...this one's not deleted! It still stands, a monument to self pity. IMMORTAL PAIN!

I won't quote the entire long thing, but here are a few of my favorite lines:

I've been sitting here crying straight through for over an hour now. My shirt's soaked all over, my ears are plugged, I can't even breathe right, and I can't seem to stop. I just have to think of Stak, and I start all over. Why do I set so much by some friends?

"Set so much"???

every night I wait for her to come on, hoping tonight she'll be able to stay on longer than 20 minutes this time, but she always has to go, and I'm left with nothing to do the entire night but cry and try to draw something to pass the hours until I can get tired enough to sleep. She says to stop crying and moping about it, and that she'll always be my friend. I know that, but we'll never be like we were.

I understand now a little more about what prayer means. You can say God is your friend, but if you never talk to him, what meaning does that hold at all?

So would that make "Stak" the one praying, and Adele the God?

too busy with other things, that thing called life. I don't have one, and all my entertainment is from my net friends. I have to talk to them because they keep me happy, and there is nothing in this world I love more than them.

At least she admits it.

Now I just stare at the screen and cry, and nobody seems to understand just how much internet friends mean to me. I have Kelly, Stak, and Min, and without them I would stop drawing, lose the enjoyment of having characters to share, and just go crazy and be the most miserable thing on earth.

DEEP HURTING! NO ONE UNDERSTANDS!

I wish she would come back, but I know she won't, and only telling her these things will make her feel bad because she can't, and I don't want that either.... I will throw a fit before I cut out my net time talking with you guys.. And I say you guys because I know you three read this.

I don't want to tell her because she'll feel bad, but I'm writing this where I know she'll read it anyway! So there.

I can't do anything else but accept it, and accepting it is too hard, and frightening, and only makes me cry more. Dangit, I'm still at it! Two hours now, and I haven't stopped. I wonder if it's possible to stinking cry all night. Isn't there a point where you eventually dry up? It's starting to hurt now.

Don't you understand she could die!

But asking you all to be like me and give up your real social lives to keep me happy is so selfish it's horrible.

But I'm doing it anyway.

I'm going to go draw something completely out of character, preferrably with Fenwyn.

At least he still loves me!



Now, the "jerkwad" mentioned in her blog, the one she broke up with because she wanted to spend more time online, is now her fiance. A few months went by after that post, and one of her friends wonders why Adele doesn't write much on her forum anymore. Her answer. In part: "I'm an extremely busy person, everybody's always ranting on me to get more art and writing done, e-mails answered, my website kept updated, I've just got engaged, I have a part time job, somewhat of a life to keep going. Dozens of people contact me every day, and I've got friends to also keep in touch with. I don't have time to read and reply to every single thread on this board."

Reowr! Is this the same person who cried so much it hurt when her one friend wouldn't chat with her every night? (For the record, Adele's "part time job" is being a secretary for her father.)

There's more, but I've already taken up enough tissues space here. But I figured some of you might enjoy the wank. Not a splooge deluge a la Crystal, but a few good face shots, right? Golly, I hope you guys like this wank. It took me a while to get it chronological. :)
