Ghostbusters Mary Sue Gang Wars
Years ago, Bo Holbrook, an American Ghostbusters fan, founded Nightsquad. Nightsquad is essentially a group of Ghostbusters fans who write Mary Sue fanfiction about their own crew of Ghostbusters. The regular Ghostbusters (Venkman, Egon, Ray, & Winston) work during the day, and the Nightsquad crew covers for them at night.

A couple years later (this is still years before now), Kingpin, a Ghostbusters fan from the UK, forms his own Mary Sue fanfiction crew over there after being kicked out of Nightsquad. They call themselves Graveyard Shift UK. They cover at nighttime for the UK Ghostbusters (whoever they are).

Bo is furious because he says it's a ripoff of Nightsquad. Instead of letting go and moving on, he wanks on and on about it for years.

And here we are today, witnessing YET ANOTHER BO HOLBROOK/KINGPIN CAGE MATCH. Certainly not one to take the higher ground, Bo starts off immediately by calling Kingpin's writing "atrocious," and that's why he "fired" him in the first place. Apparently he considers writing GB Gary Stu fic a profession, and he can "hire" and "fire" people from Nightsquad. He tells Kingpin to start calling Graveyard Shift Nightsquad UK instead. Also:

Bo: Nightsquad's REAL now. We don't have to write shit anymore if we don't want to. All we gotta do is hang out and eat at Denny's.

Okay!

Kingpin basically says no, he's not going to change their name, for some kinda bullshit sounding reasons (e.g. they're over in the UK and don't actually associate with the Original Ghostbusters). Bo resorts to name-calling.

My favorite retort to Kingpin's lame excuses is by TheRazorsEdge, who is one of Bo's minions:

TheRazorsEdge: I don't see how the fact that they don't share an HQ makes Nightsquad disconnected from the OGBs. In half the f*cking stories, they get their assignments directly from Ray or Janine.

PSSSST... YOU GUYS! IT'S NOT REAL!

Wow. They're not even wanking over the Ghostbusters, but shitty ripoff groups?

Wow.

Shitty ripoff groups THEY CREATED.

Seconded on the "wow". *blank stare*

Look, I miss RGB too, but this so isn't the way to remember them. ;p

Mmm. Well, thankfully, most of the fanfic community out there for RGB isn't like this...
At least it wasn't last time I checked.

No one is gonna confuse ANYTHING you ever do with ANYTHING Nightsquad ever does because YOU are lame, and NIGHTSQUAD is NOT!

A paragon of maturity, this one.

Nightsquad is essentially a group of Ghostbusters fans who write Mary Sue fanfiction about their own crew of Ghostbusters.

And if they were in the Stargate fandom, they'd have their own canon spinoff TV series by now called Ghostbusters: Atlantis Nightwankers.

Okay wait.

RGB makes fandom_wank and it's not an E/J* vs. E/P* shipper war?

How the fuck is that even possible?

* For the uninformed, E/J = Egon/Janine and E/P = Egon/Peter. And yes, it gets really really really nasty between the two groups. Personally, I prefer Egon/Dommi the latter, but I grew up rooting for the former and I'm frankly just happy when Egon gets sexed up at all. Because um Egon is hot. The end.
