Sexy Like Pumping Water!: RPS Badfic Wank
On the LJ community [info]badfic_mainline, [info]restriction makes a post mocking some "bad Franz Ferdinand fic." Everyone points and laughs, and that's it, right?


WRONG.

First [info]muddyasblood, a fanpoodle of the author defender of the English language, butts in:

Ever heard of an oxymoron? Why don't you try reading some Shakespeare - Romeo &Juliet, for example - or perhaps any other good writer and you'll see oxymorons are used excessively as a means of figurative description. People who don't understand the basic practices of writing should not criticise other people's.

This is hot wank and wondrous strange spooge!

Then the fic's author, [info]helvissa, shows up, and all heck breaks loose:

Seeing as you took so much time, and glee, to pick apart my fic, I thought I would take 5 minutes to respond.

I write smut. Because it's fun, and because I'm a perv. So there.

If you don't like smut or RPS, why go to slacken_ties? Oh, I know, it's RPS is 'bad'. Well, I like reading it and writing it, as do lots of other people.

*cringes* it's bad enough when they write purely franz slash. why do they have to drag other bands into it?
It's a challenge fic - and the challenge was to write a member of Franz, plus someone else. If you're going to be insulting, at least be informed.

how about apologising to the rest of us for the EYE-BLEEDINGLY BAD writing in general? if you'd done that, i might've thought a little more kindly towards you... might have... thought... a little more... kindly......
'eye-bleedingly bad'? Hahaha, I've had my writing called lots of things, but never that. I'm impressed you read the whole thing, despite having blood pouring down your face. And yeah, so I'm plugging my Ebay stuff, because I'm selling stuff that Franz fans would like. i.e. skinny ties.

And the rentboy/Moz fic? Well, I wrote the first part in the summer, and according to an article on a Canadian website, Alex Kapranos himself read it and liked it. Yes, Alex Kapranos, whose opinion I respect far more than some random, anonymous bitching from someone who writes fic about the Olympics. Hilarious!

i have to admit, the way sam styles his hair? i gotta wonder how running your fingers through your hair from back to front could in any way be considered OMG TEH HAWT!!!1
The man's hot. Fact.

*has images of alex churning butter with his hips* wtf??
If your stomach can churn, why not hips too? An alternative to the word 'grind'.

because i'm 12... teehee! y-fronts!
Look at the way Alex dresses - Mr Retro. He'd look hilariously hot in Y-fronts. At least in my pervy mind, anyway.

words that should never be used in smutfic: HELMET
I recently was on Canal Street in Manchester's gay village, and a large group of gay men begged me to use the word 'helmet' - they find it a very hot word. I would imagine, being gay, that they're quite the experts when it comes to words to describe bits of the male anatomy. Also, 'pump' is another word they recommended.

sam's cock: *beating little fists against denim* lemme out!! lemme ouuut, ya cunts!!
When was the last time you saw an erection straining against a pair of trousers?

'something for the weekend'? is this some kind of newfangled slang that i just don't get?
It's actually very old slang. Men would buy condoms from the barbers, and the barber would ask "Something for the weekend, sir?" Hence the song by The Divine Comedy, "Something for the Weekend" on the Casanova album.... Once again, be informed before being insulting.

AHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHA. oh man, first vodka as lube (seriously, WTF?), and then alex's arse opening because he breathed out...
I don't believe I stated the vodka was lube.

Also, you say you're a writer. I call myself that as well. Sadly, I often come across people who call themselves a writer, who take an obscene amount of joy in belittling other people's work. No matter how terrible a fic is, I always encourage people to write, and point out the best bits. I really hate communities like this, where people go round slagging off other people for their own self-aggrandisement. No doubt you'll have lots of fun picking apart this post, because people like you have to be the best - the loudest at parties, the one who everyone fancies... and yet the loudest noise of all is that abyss in your heart where your twisted soul has decomposed.#

But thanks for reading, anyway.



Uh... okay!

Others show up, including f_w's own [info]esorlehcar, [info]sorchar, and [info]eljuno, and then the party really begins.

Good times, good times.

Um, I may be missing something here, but since when does mocking someone else's writing mean you're not a writer yourself? Seems Dorothy Parker wouldn't have had much of a career if that were true...

I'm furiously beating off to your craziness right now. Straining. Pulsating. Churning like a stomach full of chili! God, that's fucking hot. Talk dirty to me. Say "alimentary canal." Oh baby.

Ohhhh...ohhhh...

If your stomach can churn, why not hips too?

Or your eyeballs? Or kneecaps? Or hairpiece? In fact, why can't *any* part of the body wholly unrelated to the stomach just start churnin' away?

Because it is stupid, that's why.

Someone posts a shirt for the Sims2 game. It has a hammer and sickle on it, so of course wank ensues (http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=56160). My personal favorite moment is this exchange:
Blem: 'communism is respondsable for 150+ Million people killed by artificial famin and other brutal communist goverments, I find this skin offensive to the highest degree, I demand it to be taken down.'
Tug: 'That's called "Population Control"'

oh man, that was a fun fun day. my favourite is either "MY FRIENDS CALL ME THE QUEEN OF SLASH!!11" or her bizarre conclusion-drawing which leads to her accusing me of not knowing who alex kapranos is.

so now i'll just be sitting over here throwing rocks into the cold, cold abyss in my heart where my twisted soul has decomposed. anyone want to join in?

If I had a buck everytime a writer says "Who are you to judge!?!?", I'd be able to swim in money like Scrooge McDuck. Seriously.

If they're gonna discount a bad reviewer because they can't judge, then they'd have to discount their good reviews, and WHAT THEN?

Wow! Franz get mentioned on f_w! And slacken_ties, to boot. I... I never thought this day would come so soon... e-excuse me... *wipes away a tear*

I admit to being a member of slacken_ties. But I come for the hilarious photomanips and conversations about hair more than the slash. Even though Alex said he didn't mind it, some of it is just too much sometimes. I can only read it if it's humourous and not afraid to poke a little bit of fun at itself. When it starts taking itself way too seriously and starts getting overdramatic and angsty... bah.

I feel kind of slighted, now. Why did a Franz fan have to kick up such a fuss? Stop being on my side, etc. Come on, we're much too stylish for this sort of whinging.

Her reply to [info]sorchar's suggestion that the gay men who encouraged her to use the word "helmet" might have been taking the piss is kind of sad, really:

"Hell no... they enjoyed my writing and adopted me!"

Because you just know those boys were making fun of the little fag hag. And she just doesn't get it.

My first thought was, "Why the hell are people writing slash about Archduke Franz Ferdinand? Who are they slashing him with?!" I'm actually not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed that this all has nothing to do with the Archduke.

And yes, I don't pay much attention to the music scene, obviously.

I've often thought about how I'd react if my fic was mocked. Looking back on a lot of the stuff on my old FFnet account, though, I would just laugh at it, I think. Because most of that crap is so awful I've considered deleting multiple times. 2002 was the badfic year for me, clearly.

I think this chick just showed me how not to react. I read the fic and it, well, wasn't good. Her attitude is so pretentious and "holier-than-thou" it almost hurts.

Dear wanky author,

Just because your friends call you something, it doesn't make you anything. My friends call me a Gnome, a Jew* and a sandwich. I, surprisingly enough, am not any of those things.

Love, Mug

PS. Have your friends actually read your fanfiction?

* In a humorous way. Because I like small hats. Sometimes on the top of my head. Which apparently makes me look like a Jewish man.
That was so not my friend's most creative moment. Obviously.
