Fanficrants is at it yet again. You'd think with a name like "fanficrants", people would get used to the idea that it's a comm for snarking at bad fanfiction , and being generally bitchy and disagreeable. But apparently, [info]chaos_r is a little slow on the draw:

ZOMG STP R4NT!N N TEH R4NT COMM! UR MEEN 2 TEH CHYLDRUN DAT RITE FANFIK! ITZ JEST 4 FUUUUUUUUUUN!

Invokes Godwin's law, among others. Because ranting about fanfiction is so totally WWII.

Enjoy!

And little Jimmy learns the second lesson of the Internet: No one cares about your puny little feelings. (The first lesson is "porn.")

Isn't "porn" the third lesson too?

No, the third is, "If you don't want peoples' honest opinions, don't fucking ask for them."

So, the fourth lesson's 'porn'.

Dude, if little Jimmy's fanfic sucks, that's his fucking problem, not ours.

Yep. Totally knew that was going to end up here.

While I agree with the "don't take fanfic so damn seriously" message, chaos_r would've done a lot better not to drag the "THINK OF TEH CHILDREN" angle into it.

My take? Every time there's a full-scale screaming war over fanfiction, the internet cries. Please think of the porn internet.

Kannaophelia doesn't think Chaos_rayne paints the pity thick enough (insert sarcasm) and follows up with:

I'd be far less likely to correct someone's spelling if I knew that their Eowyn/Aragorn fic was their only way of escaping the relaity of their parents lying in their own vomit on the floor. Promise.

Watch me snicker. Kanna is the heart of gentle compassion!

We could be like the fandom ninja, stealing badfic writers away form their abusive homes and giving them nourishing food, a soft bed, kind discipline and therapy. And we could read them LOTR canon while they sleep, so their stories will improve, too!

I worship her now.

I do find it interesting that people fling the 'LOL internet is serious business' at ranters but never at the oh-so-fragile ficcers.

Maybe I'm mean, but if someone's gonna chuck themselves off a bridge because they got bad reviews at FF.net then I think they're the ones who should take the internet less seriously.

Just my opinion though.

Oh, you didn't get the memo?

Aparrently, children's feelings are so fragile that they can't be told that something they did sucks or that they're not going to get an A in all their tests. Their purity and fragility might be so crushed by knowing the truth about the standard of their work that we are not allowed to have critical opinions about it, even when it's been published in a public forum.

/sarcasm.

I totally agree with you. Fragile ficcers who wail and threaten to cut themselves over bad reviews are just as bad as the rabid purists who threaten to cut the ficcers for writing something they don't like. BOTH sides need to take a chill pill and stop getting their panties in a knot.

I'm all for starting a cult here.

*Points toward your quote*
Bwahaha!
I hadn't even seen that. Definitely in the runner for winner of teh internets, one pr. No refund. Not to be redistributed.

And yes, good point about taking it less seriously.

Although, at the risk of sounding... oh, fuck that.
More with the bridge-jumping, less with the whining! We've got serious internets business to see to here.

*Sends along some pr0n and chocolate*

Boobies anyone?!
