The wank that just keeps on wanking
Everyone remember this fanficrants wank? It ain't over yet.
Most of you in the Suikoden fandom have to be aware by now of the metawank going on between a handful of fanfiction authors (mostly K'Arthur and Straya, since they left some reviews she didn't like a year ago) and an author who goes by the name of Iztayul Tepes on ff.net. She has tried repeatedly to TOS the Livejournal community Suikosnark for "copyright infringement" because they're quoting parts of her fanfiction in their reports. Though really, my guess is because she thinks they're just like those mean girls in high school.**
She claims that the authors in question are nothing more than dirty, dirty Suethors. In fact, she leaves reports on marysues and trolls fanficrants under at least two different account names in order to get her point across. Or something.
Anyway, she's now siccing the intarweb lawyers on one of the writers, K'Arthur.
The wanky part? The lawyers are sockpuppets.
More insanity idiocy in the email below.
