	The only thing it's missing is the tinhattery we get to see with the DomLijah! crowd. ;_; And I miss the tinhattery, too. Darn you, woman! I'm seriously considering making a sockpuppet account to hop in there and stoke the fires by planting suggestions of conspiracy and evilness in their narrow little minds just so you can get your tinhattery.

Oh, wait! it does have tinhattery!

Look here

Comments from the ~~author~~ hack:
"i dont need ur help...i can write my own fuckin stories...and my own plots....if u dont like it fuck off!"
"i dont care...its my plot and if i want them to swear then they do...and no1 will stop me MWAHAHAHA and bout elisa...shes no mary-whats-her-name shes my own creation and shes my leadin lady ...."

Now go down a bit to this lovely entry. We're supposed to be nice and fluffy and cuddly because she's DYING! We're mean people for picking on a sick, dying girl.

She's a living embodiment of a Mary Sue. Tragic deaths to garner sympathy!

	I dunno if that qualifies for tinhattery or not, though. O_o Is tinhattery limited to bizarre conspiracy theories, or does it extend to include 'pity-whoring by way of terminal illness'? ^^ And, yeah - typical Suevian hyjinks! XD (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I dunno. In the hands of a Master, this could be crafted into tinhattery. The evil denizens of MarySues aren't going to be just satisfied with driving poor, young, harmless authors away from the 'net, we have to KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Like a friend of mine on the Broken Wings mailing list has for a tag line: "We tend to scorn and laugh at those who write really awful fan fiction. But we
can't murder them, and this is what annoys me."

Yes, actually - now that you've mentioned it, I went and looked it up. Here is the original, in all its glory. I feel really dumb for having missed that, but, honestly...

...you can't say this isn't good enough to recieve a second go-round. ^^ Is it any wonder it got posted twice by mistake? *me and

aruru have been talking about posting it for about two weeks now, but I've been too lazy to do it till this second*

Think I'll leave it up, anyway, so the Johnny-come-lately's who might have missed it can boggle at the stupidity, and everyone else can reminisce.

Was on the MSR at the time, but not JF. Just have to say that that was quite possibly the most bizarrely entertaining thing I've ever seen on that comm. The badficcers don't drop by nearly often enough. It's so much more fun if they fight back. ;)

(Okay, it's best if they wise up; second best if they fight back; worst if they pull their stories and whine about how the big bad bitches have crushed their widdle dreams.)

	Same here. looks I was even in that wank. XD Woohoo! Yeah, I wish they'd come in whining and ranting more often. ^^ It makes me feel warm and squishy inside. Especially when they keep threatening to die on us. By the by, I wonder if that Dragonhart girl is dead yet? Ahhh, well, her wank still lives on behind her. ^_^ (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Case-in-point, the ~~hack~~ "authoress" who wrote a Nazi MS over on fictionpress that got mentioned in the MSR AND the TWS communities, then posted a whiny, immature little paragraph that reeked of heavy pouting. It's gone, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I do'nt know...I think it's from another--fucked-up--dimension. Apparently the MS was in a concentration camp, and not only was she admired for her "spunk" (spunk which, if this had taken place in the real world, would have gotten her an instant bullet in the head) but she also fell in love with a Nazi soldier named "Adolf." *shudder*

And, just to make this all even more horrifying, she claims to love history. o.O

	Oh they'll never wise up. As one set of Mary Sue authors grow up and realise the error of their ways, a new set will come to replace them. I think Mary Sue writers are a bit like the Hydra; very difficult to kill. So, I think we should just sit back and enjoy the snark. munches popcorn (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh, of course. But once in a while I hope an individual MSer can metamorphose into a decent writer. It's a vain hope, but sniff I can't help it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	This really does has everything, and you can survey its impressive sweep, happily, just by reading the subject lines. The terminal illness is definitely top notch stuff, but I always enjoy seeing people on the high moral ground discussing "grammer". It makes me all warm in the tummy. (Reply to this)

	Wow . . . I must've spent over an hour going through all the replies on that one. It was the True Wank, yea and verily. Funny how they all turn out to be terminally ill - if only it were true, and writers of bad fanfic were wiped out. sigh Rather proud of myself for going through the whole thing without participating, though;) (Reply to this)(Thread)
