Smallville wank
It's small (ha) but the sheer wtfness merits a post, I think.

Apparently there was some Valentine's Day thing organised by [info]svmadelyn where people wrote nice things about their friends and then [info]svmadelyn compiled it all.

But all is not well in Smallvilleville! Someone got upset that they weren't mentioned and defriended [info]svmadelyn! That's right, they defriended the person who organised the meme. Not her friends who didn't mention her. That would have made sense. (Well, what would have made sense was to realise that it's a stupid LJ meme and doesn't merit getting upset or defriending, but this is fandom, after all.)

Most people console [info]svmadelyn, but [info]serafina20 takes it upon herself to tell [info]svmadelyn how much she sucks for posting about being defriended.

ETA: The masked wanker appears to be [info]mlleelizabeth.

Serafina is killing me.

No it wasn't! Her post was saying that she was hurt by the list and she's never liked lists like that.

I wonder if she had been mentioned would she still hate "lists like that" *strokes chin*

It was so veiled that I had to search to see who she meant. Her post (which she's taken down) was about *her* feeling hurt. It didn't mention you, it didn't say you were mean, it didn't encourage people to pick on you. What it did was encourage people to go in and say, "YOu know what? I love you."

Translation: I'm hurt my flist didn't mention me and for that, I'm going to make a self pitying post to make all of my flist kiss my ass with luve.

I got cha! *thumbs up*

There were a few people who said they may not have understood her feelings, but they were *valid*. She didn't say that you were snubbing her; she may have said she felt snubbed, but again, *her* feelings which she has a right to.

Regardless of how she felt, it was wanky as hell to defriend somebody over something so stupid. I give her a 8.33 on the scale of wank.

What? Wank within my only fandom and I don't even know? And what is this? I am not on that meme! Woe is me! Serves me right for not friending the right people wah!

Oh, well. Someone on MY flist did the same thing for everyone on her flist, so who the fuck cares.

Honestly.

From Serafina's (http://www.livejournal.com/users/serafina20/309012.html) journal.

All I have to today is avoid any anti-Valentine's Day crap. To me, "protesting" or making a big deal about how stupid Val. Day is is one of the stupidest, most immature thing to do. I actually think the people why protest against it actually buy into the "importance" of the holiday more than the people who celebrate it with loved ones.

Yet she's wanking in someone's journal over her friend, pot meet kettle!

A lot of people in a lot of these fandoms need to learn the simple life-lesson of: GET OVER IT.

Getting out of the house and socializing with people beyond the internet would help, too. LOL Ever notice how drama seems to just follow certain people around? My mom's one of those.

Leave it to the Smallville fandom to turn a day of love into hate and whinge about not being loved enough. Such attention grabbers, the lot.

Not her friends who didn't mention her.

That would be a lot of defriending, considering it was a "Secret Admirer" meme -- everyone on your f-list is a suspect in the No Love Sweepstakes.

Easier to give the organizer the boot, I guess.

Even though I participated, I can see how this falls under the emotional territory of popularity contests and award wanks. Betcha there wasn't one of us not only searching out our name and how many mentions, but scouring every other name and counting up the mash notes, seething all the while.

But then I realized how incredibly stupid that was and went back to writing p0rn. *cough*

From what I've read, a lot of people sent in anon notes to themselves. I guess she assumed that with over 300 people on her flist, she would get a mention for sure.

It also looks like someone posted the actual locked entry over there as well.

Really? *scratches head* Damn, but I always think of these things too late. I should have sent myself a few. ::: snaps fingers :::

I have close to 500 people on my f-list and got two mentions. *shrug* I also submitted only around five, because there was a loose limit on the length of submissions. I think you weren't supposed to name more than five to eight friends, so sure, tons of people will sink to the bottom of the glass.

I didn't put any stock in this meme as a true test of popularity (whatever that is) since it was spur of the moment and not as well circulated as it was last year. A lot of folks are falling out of the SV fandom so sure those people in the OPs close-knit circle are going to get more love.

It was a V-Day circle-jerk, that's all. Unfortunately, the SV circle isn't what it used to be in the good old days.

I don't think that's true. When Madelyn said that a lot of people who got mentions sent notes in themselves, she was saying that's how karma works - give love, receive love. All the messages were by email, so commenting anonymously would have required a sockpuppet email account. Could have happened, but I doubt it was widespread.

That Valentine's day post = a cute idea.
The person who defriended svmadelyn because nobody mentioned her = wanky, but at least understandable.
serafina20... Really weird. I would have to twist my brain into a very strange shape in order to see things her way.

Let me get this right?

"It's Valentine's Day, send me anon notes about who you love your flist" (not wanky)

"Boo-Hoo! No one loves me! How dare she do this meme just to hurt my feelings!" ::defriends the meme-maker:: (Definately wanky)

"I did what? Well, shit, that ruins MY day" (not wanky to me - that's understandable)

"How DARE you! How DARE you post about this and whine about this and make my poor widdle friend out to be the bad guy!" (wanky beyond belief)

The stupid burns.

And imo the meme-maker shouldn't give a damn. Jusst roll her eyes, say 'Bitch, pease!' and then thank God that this resulted into being defriended by a really stupid and wanky person.

"Actually I'm tempted to defriend anyone who pimps it, because now I'm all pissy and have my feelings hurt."

*facedesk* Someone has to get over themselves and that the world doesn't spin around her.

I know how it is to really hate something and wishing everyone else did, but seriously I wouldn't be so stupid to turn against anyone, friend or not, for not hating what I hate just to show supportive to me...

*slaps forehead* Ah, SV...and to think I've only been in this fandom for eight months. This is the kind of thing I used to miss out on!

:knew I should never have let myself be talked into reading that first bit of Clex p0rn:

Hey, I didn't get a mention...clearly this means I should de-friend the OP. No wait. I don't have the OP friended. I'll friend her and *then* de-friend her. That will teach them. That will teach them all!

LOL! I didn't get a mention either... but then again I missed the whole post altogether until I saw it here. Funny how that thing called work and life gets in the way of being part of a wank.

Ep! And I was so proud of my fandom having somehow managed to avoid fandom wank for at least a few months. Guess that is what I get for noticing the lack of SV wank lately!
