More GAFF Wank

My first time reporting wank. Apologies if I did anything wrong.

Over at GAFF, I_Lam_Edhellen posts an LOTR fanfic by caffinebunny. But instead of the normal snarking that is going on, she explains about the author doing her own brand of snarking.

A reviewer by the name of I.H.N posts a long review to the story. Rabid author immediately strikes back with this author note:

-1The real chapter 9! I put the wrong title on the last chapter, but I just changed it. Now, I don’t know who’s noticed it, but one of my reviewers has posted an essay in a review. And it’s pretty patronising stuff. My rebuttal/comments/down-right rudeness about are on my LJ, as the person who posted it didn’t even leave an e-mail address to reply to. It’s not really a flame. It seems more like the person who wrote it chickened out of putting anything harsher… (Egads, I hope whoever it is reads this!).

She then invites people over to her journal to witness her rebuttal of the 'essay'.

Meanwhile, over at GAFF, member are falling  over the wonder that is I.H.N's concrit amongst other things. There are also random calls of 'must not phantom link' and random comments that goes on and on.

Over on the author's LJ, GAFF members like blackpearl500 and other anonymice gather at her first LJ entry.

While I.H.N follows up with another review, GAFF members decided to jump on the bandwagon with their own comments. And then finally, the author was phantom linked... twice.

At GAFF, members are rejoicing and waiting anxiously for the author to show up and calls of racist and troll abound while caffinebunny decides to post yet another LJ post snarking I.H.N's second review. More smackdown happening in the author's own journal about how I.H.N's feet should be kissed... repeatedly.

The author goes on about not caring and then makes yet another post on this same issue.

And another....

And another...

Something tells me this will go on forever.

ETA: GAFF has found us out... OH NOES!!! Once again, we have been called immature, unable to recognise sarcasm and the OP was wrong!! Wrong!!! We didn't take it to the author's review board.

Oh, and the 'racist' comment was properly explained.

Last but not least, we are nothing but 'rolleyes'.

... I can't believe I read all of that.

... I also can't believe how hard I laughed. I may require a new keyboard, as this one is sticky with Mountain Dew.

My god, that is a stupidly vain creature. I wish I could have one for a pet, just to make fun of it. My mean side.

This "people-baiting" thing is a really really good game. Also, I can't BELIEVE that a group of people have so MUCH time on their hands, and are really SOOOO bothered about my opinions that they are taking their time to actually read my stuff. After all, all feedback shows up as a review, and every hit on my fic is counted.

"HA HA HA! See, YOU people are losers for CARING! I am totally NOT a loser because I DON'T CARE even though I've made multiple posts about this in MY OWN PERSONAL LJ which I can do because IT'S MY SPACE AND MY OPINION."

On a side note, wow, I actually got on GAFF without that stupid error message.

I just realised that this is a LotR and Stargate crossover.

... NO, please, no. Not both my fandoms!

No. Just... NO. You do not write LotR/Stargate. I am tempted to try to do a version that actually works, but I could never see it happening and most likely will never do it.

... And ...

Too tired to read the whole wank, but I second all the people at GAFF who said how they would kill for feedback like that. Seriously. One review like that is worth a thousand "OMG ur story rocks POST MORE PLZ!!!" any day. That was some great constructive criticism right there. Fanbrats need to learn the definition of "flame."

I love caffinebunny's definition of Women's Lib (the capitals make the diference!) as being about the women showing how ditzy they really are. She's not a bright one, is she?

HAHAHAHAHA, that's one way to keep the GAFF board members' attention. There was a thread that asked something to this effect: "What would you do if one of your stories ended up in the New Releases section of the board?". I said I'd ignore it because with a board like GAFF, members have the attention span of lemmings on acid. Defending your fic is a no-no. Posting "I don't care" means you do care and some GAFF members are like those people who like to poke the Lycos Penguin. The more you react the more likely they will poke at you.

*review review GAFF*

ZOMG SO NOT RIGHTZ!

WTF? You be all overs with the stupids! I'd die for a review like that! *hides fics*

*snort* I DUN CARE! I'M LAUGHING! LAUGHING I SAY! HA HA HA! HA HA HA! ZOMGPUSSYCATDOLLS! o.O;

HA! We don't care that you don't care because you obviously do care since you keep posting about it! Unlike us, we DON'T care! See us not caring? Ha hahahahahahaaa! *foams*

*Rabbit's brain turns to Spaghetti-Os and, in a fit of stomach gurgling, she eats it. Thus explaining the above and her tomato mustache*

Remember children. When you offer a review of any kind, the author MUST hold your advice to be ALL KNOWLEDABLE AND POWERFUL. And should they decide, as some will do, to completely ignore your review and call it shite, you must immediately become a rabid, incoherent mass of mob fantality to defend the virtues of all opinions but those of the person you wank against! THAT'LL SHOW 'EM!

I declare that everyone needs a cookie, a hug, and for those of age, some good hard sex.

Extra hard for the creature putting my namesake to shame. BAD BUNNY! NO MAN SEXXORS FOR YOU! *Takes the LotR cast and runs*

The French aren't a race. They're a nationality. Caffeinebunny is stupid twenty-seven ways from Tuesday, but she's not actually racist. (At least, not in this wank.) I don't know what the proper term is, but I do think there should be a law for overeager playing of the "racist!" card.

The fact that the author is a fucking moron is a given, however, I.H.N is pretty damn stupid too.

(And no, Elrond is not half Elf, by the way). (This is in the second review btw.)

Excuse me... What?! I guess Tolkien was misinformed by giving him the title of: Elrond Half-elven (or Peredhil if you like Tolkien's cracked out languages). And the GAFFers are singing this idiot's praises? Well, okay, I.H.N, had some good points but supplying incorrect information at the same time kinda kills the point of concrit (whether it's accepted or not).

But I suppose that makes the wank quite well rounded. Everybody's wanking their self-importance, so you get spooge from every direction.

You wouldn’t want me to be offended. Really.

"Don't make me angry, Mr McGee. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

caffeinebunny swells up, turns green, clothes fall off, eyeballs glow, exit Bill Bixby stage right, enter Lou Ferrigno in artfully ripped shirt and trousers that fit like a coat of paint.
