If FandomWank is like Jesus, is the Smallville Fandom kinda like Satan?
So. Fic author Henry Jones, Jr., also known as Sabershadowkat on LJ, who is actually not a man, posted this Clark/Lex fic entitled "Of Legend" with Clark explicity as Jesus Christ and Lex as... well, I wouldn't want to ruin this for you. *cough*

Naturally no one in the Smallville fandom can so much as post a fic without 400 other people getting completely hysterical about it, so within 2 days' time, we've got

Penelope Z chiming in that You might call what I'm doing now flaming, and yes, that's it probably. ... I find the story a badfic, a cheap gimmick to shock, especially as it appears in the archive with not the smallest warning.

And then there's
Olympia M, who wants to clarify that it's not JUST that it's BibleSlash, it's that it's RILLY BAD Bibleslash and has Clark Kent and Lex Luthor that bugged us.

*scratches head*

Rosenho asks the always-pertinent (and sensitive!) question, Who gives a rat's asshole, you self-important shits?. Only phrased slightly prettier.

JacynRebekah wants us to remember that just because you're paranoid doesn't mean 1273846128 Smallville fans aren't out to get you

and

Shadowstorn shrugs the whole thing off by letting us know that it was in perfectly good taste for those of us who piss on your stupid fucking religion anyway.

ETA:

SugarRush has recently more or less settled the matter by proclaiming that calling someone a useless hack just because you disagree with them makes you a... um. useless hack!

That's what I love about the SV fandom: its unwaivering devotion to logic.

	Nah, I was up my own ass as usual. Made too much fuss over something, too much fuss was made over my fuss, more fuss more fuss, here comes the avalanche. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ehhh, I don't blame you for being upset, but the fic was... yeah, not worth it. Rosesmove actually had some truly balanced and good things to say about the whole kerfluffle, but it was decidedly and irrevocably nonwanky, so I felt gauche posting it in the OP. (Reply to this)(Parent)

*snort*

Man, that was priceless. Over-analyzing, much?

It was a bad story. Nothing more, nothing less. And considering it was for a fanfiction challenge, the author was *probably* just trying to get attention by using two such controversial figures to cast Lex and Clark as.

...unless he/she was *really* just that uncreative, that the only historical characters they could think of were those two. Jeez, that fic blew. He/She could've used Ceasar and Brutus in almost the same way. *rolls eyes*

Too much wank over sub-par fanfiction, that's what this is. ^^

(Going through old wank...)

I get the feeling that Baby Jesus is somewhere in that mess, crying because he has a diaper rash. ^_~

You know, that fascinates me. I mean, Jesus was a baby, right? He grew up. I'm sure he went through puberty, since he had a beard. I would imagine that pointing such things out to someone who considered themselves devout would be a bad idea, and would probably get me yelled at. n.n;;

	May I layeth with thee this night? Your bosom is like a herd of wild camels and your hair is soft like milk and honey. Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of celibacy I will fear no evil... Clark: that's one hell of a rod. Lex: Thanks. I'm so inspired. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Didn't read the fic, but I've been enjoying the wank on various LJs thoroughly. So much ado over nothing. Everybody knows that God love slash; that's why he gave us Karl Urban. (Reply to this)

So, if calling somebody a useless hack because they disagree with you makes you a useless hack, does that mean that if you call somebody a useless hack for calling somebody a useless hack because they disagreed with someone make YOU a useless hack?

And if I'm insinuating that the person who called somebody a useless hack for calling somebody who disagreed with them a useless hack is a useless hack, does this make ME a useless hack for alling somebody a useless hack for calling somebody a useless hack for calling somebody a useless hack?

What if somebody calls ME a useless hack, now? Do THEY become a useless hack?
