Such wank my roommate brings me...
Sitting around, watching my roommate read her LJ friend's page today, we found this happy little LJ entry.
Just... whoa. I'm feelin' some sweet, sweet lovin' all the way over here.

Apparently, some girl on one of the lists that the friend visits posted complaining that she can't go to YaoiCon because she's - you got it - underaged! And this girl writes and draws gay porn! Whee!
Curious, I went looking high and low on LJ for the source of this bitchfest, and came up empty-handed. So I decided to look on Yahoo!Groups, and *look* what I came up with!

A two page long sob story about not being able to go to YaoiCon because she has work and is underaged and how much she loves yaoi and how sad it is that her friends gave up their Yaoi Dreams and became *ick* straight and the best part is... it's all one huge sentence!

My only source of sadness is that people haven't replied to it at all. (yet) *sniffles* So sad that Cinderella can't go to the ball. ;_;

Yeah, yeah, I know I'm replying a lot. I blame the n00b enthusiasm. Not to mention that these last two wanks were related to anime/game fandom, so it's just irresistible.

Anyway, I now feel the urge to directly address this girl's whining in the form of an open letter.

Dear Whiney-chan,

Look, you're not going to die because you missed out on Yaoi-Con again. It's really not that big a deal:

The dealers room? You can get most of that stuff online pretty easily if you search.

The interview panels with manga-ka and "experts" in anime? That's a bit harder to replace, but you can find interviews with most of them online and/or in print.

The games? They're something you can pull off by yourself and your friends, if you take the time to do a little planning.

Meeting people? Look, I've only known one other shounen-ai fan in my area, and I've never been able to meet her in person as she's underaged, lived way on the other end of the island (and I know little about driving around outside of the capital/metro area), and is now moving to the US. Did I lose sleep over it? No.

Besides, while there's going to be a few really cool people about, the majority of the people there are more than likely going to be all the different BNFs and their strings of mindless posses. Starting with the Aestheticism people responsible for the con themselves. I mean, the level of wankery you're likely going to find there is going to be so bad that it's going to be hilarious and entertaining and pants-shitting funny and--

...wait a minute.

Goddamit, now I want to go!

	Gdamn, so do I now. We don't get the opportunity to see BNFs queening it over people in anime fandom like we do in HP. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

*blinks* Wait, we don't?

(Ok, ok, so I'm probably severely biased because of something that happened to a good pal. Whatever.)

Anyway, yeah, it'd be funny to see some posturing over at cons and the like. Too bad that people like me live in places where there's not many (or none whatsoever) of these things and thus never get to hear about th--

*LIGHTBULB!*
