Fandom = QAF-US
Wank potential = infinite
Latest saga = Brian/Justin vs. Brian/Michael shippers. The 20000000th encore.

To the people involved, backup versions of all posts have already been saved.
EDIT: Back to the Geocities version of the first post. Someone want to host this to stop the inevitable bandwidth problems? The original is available here to anyone who wants to add the community for long enough to see.

bonobochick (cross)posts an open letter to the B/M community to share her friend's "hate on" for the producers of Queer as Folk, which uses the words "degrading", "obnoxious", "bad", "sick fantasy". No "ships" are mentioned in the rant, but the words "deeply dysfunctional", used by some B/M fans to refer to the Ben/M or B/J pairings, are used. The rant is linked by the "ship-neutral" fandom newsletter In Babylon at the request of the original poster, and so the B/J shippers arrive, armed with the mighty knowledge that they must surely be welcome to comment because of the link, and convinced that the rant is all about them. And so, the wank begins.

zoisite84, a B/J shipper, shares that
"Brian and Michael are not going to hook up by the end of the series. It is more than an inkling and a gut feeling. I have proof. You're welcome." Disappointingly, she never shares her proof. In the same thread, quinnponders, a B/M shipper, contributes "You mean our voodoo ritual didn't work?! I KNEW we should've sacrificed the virgin B/Jer instead of the chicken! Dammit!" Pictures of voodoo dolls, cracks at the apparent virginity of B/J fans, references to the B/J mojo that was wanked on fandom_wank a couple of months ago, follow.

pumpu, a B/J shipper, is upset that the B/Mers are being mean. Never fear, jurisenpai, quinnponders, and bonobochick, stalwart B/M shippers all, are at the ready to point out to her that a community named michaelandbrian is not what they would call "neutral".</a> pumpu continues to whine that they are being mean.

The wank goes on, and on, and on, on that very post. I'm too lazy to report it all. Feel free to go look.

The encore:

fishbutt, a B/M shipper, posts an icon of Justin with the words "this is your brain on drugs". juteux, a B/J shipper, is "disturbed".

burnitbackwards, B/J shipper at least for the moment, comes to the rescue with a photoshopped B/M icon announcing "this is your brain on retarded". The usual B/M suspects whine about this behind some friends lock or other, and burnitbackwards supplies them the cheese to go with that, reposting the entire thing publicly on her LJ.

Two hours later, burnitbackwards, the fandom's newest B/M shipper, is back with a change of heart and five new photoshopped B/M icons, announcing in a post called "OMG B/M FOREV", "dear friends, this note is to inform you that i have become a b/m shipper. that's right, it's true. sometime in the last two hours or so, i have seen the error of my ways and have vowed to give up the abusive, dysfunctional, disgusting pairing that is brian and justin. it's brian/michael forever, from now on. to celebrate, i have made some beautiful brian/michael icons. please feel free to take any of them that you would like, but only if you share my feelings that the brian/michael pairing is the best, healthiest, and most sexually arousing pairing of all time. sincerely, bibw
