Because the wank spilled over to this community...
sashwizzled posts to fanficrants the following:

Dear fangirls,

There are more important things in the world than fanfiction and the people who write it, believe it or not.
So, when you all stump together (using money that could be feeding your kids, feeding yourselves or possibly, God forbid, going toward Third World countries) to buy expensive computer equipment for your favourite fanfiction author just so that she can keep writing your favourite fanfiction... Zarrah's brain melts.

It may be the Christmas season, but dude. Think about it. If this person didn't write fanfiction, would you give a damn?

No love,
Zarrah

Disclaimer: Yes, this is about Cassie Claire. Yes, I do know Cassie Claire was robbed and that's why people are doing it. No, this does not change my opinion.

At first, it wasn't really that bad. No one was really vehement, mostly people just agreed or disagreed politely and stated reasons why or gawked at the whole thing. Eh, except this comment.

But, then Cassie herself visits the thread and things start to get a little ugly.

Honorable mention wank: Have you ever been robbed?

Yes, I participated in the thread, but I wasn't part of the wanky bits. Thusly it was not posted to i_wank.
