The 10(wan)K Commotion!
Short time viewer, first time poster...
I read a webcomic called "The 10K Commotion". What can I say; the art's cute if nothing else. Recently it was featured at the Train Wreck Support Community. The artist of said comic was not amused:

Highlights include attempts at passive-agressive snark, the fact the main character is based on the artist's boyfriend, and being all too serious.
I can understand why she might be annoyed; I might be too if my comic was put up at such a place. It's only natural to be a little protective of one's "baby", but she seemed to be understand by the end of it, and there were attempts by some TWS'ers to make up. In her defense, the original unedited first post wasn't that clear, and the current one may or may not be much better.
However, when I was randomly checking to see if part 3 had started, I saw this little comic about the experience:
http://10kcommotion.com/theTENKAYcomic/2-5thSTAGE/2-5thSTAGE.shtml?1
Highlights include lines like "they're probably 5 years younger than [them], sitting on their parents computers eating poptarts and being jealous" and "they wanna hate on anyone doing something cooler than that". (Because making webcomics makes you cool by default. *beat* Wait, what am I complaining about; that makes me cool too! Yay, I'm cool! ^_^)
Guess she didn't get it after all. Oh well, it's more amusing this way to each their own.
