Monday October 5 [ Dearest little wankahs, what makes a perfect wank? I'm not asking this because I'm trying to perfect a Get Wank Quick scheme*, though. Honest. *Voodoo, not trolling.

[ snatched from "Someone" posts a secret (#114 now bahleeted--caps?) on Responses are mostly of the "Oh, snap!" variety except for the "What am I? Chopped liver?" one. It's really a very mild response though ( She doesn't overreact at all: ) eta: F_W is not your therapist. If you can't lol at a wank maybe you need to go for a walk. I thought this was funny. lol sociopath.

[ Alright people, there's been a long streak of unfunny and fail around here and it's getting bothersome. We need to get back to basics with a short & sweet wank from an old, reliable source. Thank heaven for FFR. Picked this up via a mouse in the currently be-spamalated Anyways, the short version is that "What in the hell is so automatically horrible about dropping the word 'Childe' in a fic?" By and large, people are pretty civil about it, noting that it's more of an Anne Rice/White Wolf term than a Buffy term. A few reasonable souls note that it's generally associated with badfic and therefore not looked upon kindly. And then there's ETA: Oh, I forgot to mention, use of the words "cunty" and "cuntishness". The English language is such a wonderfully flexible thing.

Monday September 28 [ Inglourious Basterds is the latest Quentin Tarantino movie. Oh No They Didn't, is a gossip site based on LJ that is big enough it's actually taken LJ severs out more than once all on its lonesome (I think the last time was when Michael Jackson died, but don't quote me). Eli Roth is the guy who plays Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz in Inglourious Basterds (he also wrote/directed Cabin Fever and Hostel and its apparently awful sequel. That guy). It all started when Eli Roth discovered the Inglourious Basterds Kink Meme. Surprisingly, not via a fangirl breaking the sacred rule of Though Shalt Not Force Porn On The People In It AFAIK, but all on his lonesome. He was pretty much amused and also decided to show it to and discuss it with Quentin Tarantino (who apparently agreed with him the Donny would be a top), and also Christoph Waltz (who played Landa in IB) and apparently his parents, because he's that kind of classy. This garnered many facepalms from fangirls in places like 100_scalps, but shockingly, very little wank. This resulted in a lot of twittering porn at him and his discovery of ONTD. He made a I <3 ONTD sign. Something a fair few celebs have done in the past. After that it kind of got out of control, progressing from ONTD changing his Wiki page to say he was their Official Boyfriend to him twittering he would think about all of ONTD when he jerked off the night, then posting a picture of a very used looking tissue, then to a very candid interview with questions from a lot of people at ONTD*, to-- and here's where the wank really started, pun utterly and completely intended-- having cyber sex with various ONTD'ers on his MySpace. The Eli Roth tag on ONTD contains basically every screen cap and citation, so I'm not linking to everything individually. Scroll on down. Then it came out that some of said cyber sexin' ONTD'ers sent him pictures of their boobs. ONTD proceeds to have a 5000 comment long flamewar consisting of the brilliant arguments (paraphrased, but I assure you all quite accurate as you will see if you click this link): YOU'RE SLUTS. NO WE'RE NOT. YES YOU ARE. NO WE'RE NOT. YES YOU ARE. NO WE'RE NOT. YES YOU ARE. I think, in conclusion, I would like to say that despite what you may think of Mr. Roth, he certainly knows how to make a girl laugh. *This is the only thing that is locked, however, you only have to join ONTD to see it. It's... worth it. [ETA]: Omar Doom answered a similar fangirl written survey for ONTD, said he wouldn't be at all opposed to seeing some fangirl boobs, and the wank goes ever on and on in the comments.

Saturday September 19 [ Thanks to a mousie on wank_report for this tip! Even though they might be the same asshat!mousie who has linked the wankers to the wank_report already. This has happened before, so I suspect we have a repeat-offender moron!mouse on the loose. (Update: reporter!mousie says no; the fink ain't hir. Many apologies to our intrepid reporter!mouse for the libel.) Also, before we start, I humbly dedicate the following post to the presumably-different and very amusing outraged!mousie who continues to snipe in any and all posts on wank_report that feature This wank involves a nice long thread on ( Danneel Harris has short fingernails and is therefore lesbian. ) I love Supernatural. One of these days, I'm going to have to actually sit down and watch the show.

Wednesday September 16 [ A Slytherfan ( Read more ) The essay provokes a chorus of "I agree"s and complaints about JKR's treatment of Snape: This is brilliant, Terri! And absolutely consistent. You know, my sister and I went to hear Rowling, Irving and King in NYC, and we both liked John Irving (reading from Owen Meany) best. Now the reason is clear. Rowling is actually a horror writer, like King, and I do not like horror. Still less do I like horror disguised as a children's fantasy quest. Irving, on the other hand, was writing in the great tradition of picaresque novels - a tragicomedy with a moral core. But what I still wonder is: did (and does) Rowling know that she has actually written a dystopion/horror story? Somehow I don't think she realizes this. I second the 'brilliant' comment. And I highly doubt Rowling is aware of what she has actually written. She is too utterly blind to the reasons we like Severus, for example, to have any clue that she may have written something different from what her perfect picture of her work in her head is. I'm sure she thinks we're just getting it 'wrong.' So if Severus Snape actually survived Nagini's bite, returned to the Muggle world and became some kind of counselor to delinquent youth or someone who runs an anti-bullying program (by working both with victims and perpetrators) he would be a hero with a rather protracted but complete journey? Starting out as the victim of neighborhood bullies (I doubt Petunia was the only one who knew that the strangely dressed kid was the Snape boy from Spinner's End) who must have dreamed that magic would solve his problems, learned that magic simply gave bullies more dangerous/'interesting' ways to hurt people, played a key role in getting rid of the biggest bully in the magical playground and came home to use non-magical ways against bullies? *** bohemian_spirit has some fics in that general direction - in her 'Light Between the Cracks' series Severus Snape of canon years was secretly married to a Muggle school teacher and while at his Muggle home watched over the neighborhood children. And in her 'Professor Grunge' Severus immigrates to the US instead of joining the Death Eaters. He studies at a wizarding university and becomes a teacher who fights bullying and uses music to assist in magical healing. But the real fun starts when 'Hermione exiling her parents to Australia' She did that because she was terrified (with good reason) of the DEs coming after them: Voldemort was taking over the government, had already ordered several public mass-Muggle-killings, and anyone remotely connected to Harry was a potential target. According to Jo, Hermione reversed the spell ASAP once the threat was over. For that matter, is it ever outright stated that she didn't sit down and discuss it with them first? That doesn't go well. ( Hermione is teh ebil! )

Thursday September 3 [ We ask, and wank_report provides. Team Fortress 2 is an online FPS game in which two teams made up of nine different classes attempt to blast each other into comical bloody oblivion. TV Tropes says it best: "Two corporations erect fortresses 10 yards from each other and then send waves of men to kill each other to steal a briefcase out of the opposing fort's basement." Now add hats, equipable items that were introduced earlier in the year that change the appearance of a character and serve no other purpose whatsoever. But they're rare drops, man -- you could be on for hours and not see hide nor hair of a precious, precious hat. ( Do you smell what The Rock is cooking? ) In conclusion: hats!

Thursday August 27 [ Thanks to the mousie at wank_report! Remember this wank? Which involved this guy? Well, if you're wondering what that rattling noise you hear is, it's the sound of head-desking over at TV Tropes, and it's all thanks to him. Notes on the Source Material: There were 14 pages of comments, and just after I finished documenting the hijinks on page 12, everything got bahleeted. I snagged screencaps of pages 2-11 (which is more than Google cache got) but the most comprehensive record of this wank comes from my raw notes. Below the cut, you'll find a summary of the wank with links so you can bamf around and read the just interesting bits of the raw notes. The screencaps can be found here. ( Cosmetor Saves the Internet ) These two comments, made shortly before the bahleetion, are rather telling: (15021) Dire Sloth: So... that Fan Dumb thread... it's kind of dumb. (15022) Tzetze: I don't want to hear about that thread again. ETA the 001: (Thanks to ( Cosmetor Has Saved the Internet Before ) ETA the 010: (Thanks to Internet Does Not Want to be Saved, Banninates Cosmetor 2; Fast Eddie: After review ... People tried to reason with him. This is the second time he's been around, spreading chaos. He didn't really break any rules, but being around him is a pain in the ass. Block installed. 7; Fighteer: Whew, thanks. That Fan Dumb argument felt like it was sucking the brain from my skull. 9; Some Sort of Troper: It feels wrong to me that the thread was deleted, it should have a more fitting end. Something like the house at the end of Poltergeist, it should have imploded and been sucked into hell.

Shamone_MJ is community created for fans of Michael Jackson who supported each other in the aftermath of his sudden death. What a gentle, benevolent place--surely no one would disturb its peace? But wait! ( Do you hear a capslock key being clicked? )

Saturday August 22 [ Say you're a member of ontd_ai and you're getting a bit tired of the fanfic posts, the idol appreciation posts, the way a particular mod runs things, and anything else you feel doesn't fit the ~true spirit~ of the community. There's only one thing to do! Start a super-secret elite comm where you and 26 of your friends (including some ontd_ai mods) can plan the upheaval of the 5000-member community, including abrupt fanfic banning and gif trolling of appreciation posts and anyone who objects, or course! This involved heavily trolling an appreciation post for Megan, one of the AI competitors from the latest season, with gifs and insults. EDIT2: Found it! There are pockets of drama all over the place, but the big stuff is on page six here. ( this is getting long, so i'm cutting it )

Tuesday August 11 [ I picked this one up off of twitter, but for once it wasn't So, Rob Liefeld. Not the most likeable guy in the world, for sure. Old, familiar face around here, definitely. For once, he's not the wanker here. In fact, his only role in the wank is to be present. Some enterprising comic fan at WizardWorld decided to present him with a self-signed copy of "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" and posted the adventure online. Basically he acted like an asshole to Liefeld and felt very self-righteous about doing so. Whether you think the fan is an entitled twat or that Liefeld deserved it (or both, both is also acceptable), the fun really starts in the comments. The gentleman in question has his share of supporters, certainly, but there's also dissent. Quite a bit of dissent, really. The supporters aren't always particularly clever, either. Really, as with all good wanks, there is no right side. A man was a dick to another man who is also a dick, and it got put on the internet. Needless to say, once a critical mass of dicks has been reached, fapping ensues. Enjoy, kids. Edited for egregious typos. ETA: ETA 2: Additional coverage courtesy of ETA 3: An apology of sorts, discovered by a mouse on my journal. ETA The Next One: For fuck's sake. Peter David adds his two cents. From

Sunday August 9 [ I'm sure most of you know about Second Life thanks to the My Ponies Hate You incident. So here's a sample of SL drama that, for a change, has nothing to do with furries or pixelsex. One of the draws of Second Life is the ability to create content that can be bought and sold for Linden Dollars (L$) which can, in turn, be bought and sold for actual cash. Clothing design is a large enough industry to merit an entire network of Second Life fashion blogs such as Shopping Cart Disco. And, face it, where there are fashionistas, even virtual ones, there's going to be drama. Meet Brinks Lemmon. [WARNING! Embedded music player--switch off speakers or scroll down to the bottom to shut the damn thing off if you click that link.] She introduces herself thusly: Hey guys my name is Jessica, but I go by Brinks Lemmon in secondlife. I started this blog since I love fashion in secondlife and I am always trying to create that " cute " or " hot " outfit. I started this so I can post outfits that I have created, for the secondlife public to enjoy. I will be posting all different styles of outfits since I shop at many different stores, so I hope you enjoy what I will be posting! P.S. I would very much appreciate your feedback on the outfits that I post! Note she's not even talking about clothing that she's created herself, but 'outfits' composed of other people's designs. No biggie. Lots of SL fashion bloggers do that. Some even acquire 'review copies' from designers looking for exposure. However, begging designers for review copies is pretty bad form. And when somebody calls you out on it on SLSecret (Secret #5), you know you're starting to piss people off. Then Ms. Lemmon goes from begging for free clothes to begging for free money. Shopping Cart Disco posts a teal dear chat transcript with someone she hit up for Lindens and never paid back. (The name of the lender has been redacted to "Avatar.") [2008/06/14 11:52] Brinks Lemmon: My CC isnt working, and the bank is insisting that there is a malfunction on the card.. * what ever that means.. * so I cant pay my tier, etc.. without my car so I was wondering if you could loan me 4000L$-5000L$ just until I can pay you back in like 2-3 days [L$5000 is about $20 USD] [2008/06/14 11:52] Avatar: i will on this one occasion, OK? [2008/06/14 11:53] Avatar: but i obviously will need the money back [2008/06/14 11:53] Brinks Lemmon: You are a life saver.. [2008/06/14 11:53] Brinks Lemmon: I have had some RL problems lately, my mother is in the hospital she just got into a car accident and stuff [2008/06/14 11:53] Brinks Lemmon: SO I am running around trying to get things done and stuff [2008/06/14 11:53] Brinks Lemmon: Really hectic atm [2008/06/14 11:54] Avatar: ok, np [2008/06/14 11:54] Brinks Lemmon: You are such a life saver Avatar, tysm [2008/06/14 11:55] Avatar: it’s OK [2008/06/14 11:56] Avatar: pay me back in a week or so when your card is working ;) [2008/06/14 11:57] Brinks Lemmon: Definitley, thanks again! And, as we could safely predict, our Miss Brinks The day after SCD posted the chat transcript, Miss Brinks posted a tearstained apology [SAME WARNING AS BEFORE!] which also mentions something about her selling gift cards for Sugarcube which may have been hacked, and which resulted in the designer shutting down the store to fix whatever glitch that entailed. (I'm pretty sure the designer in question is Japanese, and thus her blog isn't too clear on the details.) The comments in the SCD post let slip one interesting bit of information . . . Well, here is where I can tell you all something that myself and a friend decided to keep quiet because it’s their choice but NOW screw that! She is not a she, she is a he. A he who doesn’t know that their voice thinga ma jig wasn’t working and was totally exposed. He continued on with the I’m a girl thing so we just went along, then we figured it out that he thought his voice was still being disguised. Then even goes as far to tell me he is preggo in RL. I thought wow this guy is pretty hard into the fantasy but ya know whatever flips your switch. I was nice, helpful, giving to this person as I will be with the next because that is me, but don’t mistake it for stupidity, naive a bit probably but that is slowly being chiseled away. But then I read all this, and all these people he has taken advantage of, lied to, stolen from and dammit I am pissed. F U BRINKS DO NOT EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN. AND YOUR NOT A GIRL GET OVER IT Second Life has voice chat--not everybody uses it--and people can use filters if their voice doesn't match their avatar of choice very well. But, apparently, it doesn't always work. Guys with female avies (or, for that matter, gals with male avies) are nothing unusual, but guys with female avies who claim to be pregnant in real life? That's . . . extra-special. So, not a huge drama, but all the classic wank elements in a single lemony slice for ya.

Thursday August 6 [ This wank brought to you by wank_report. A bit of context: The Mammoth Book of Mindblowing SF is the next installment in the Mammoth Book anthology series edited by Mike Ashley. Recently, its table of contents, which lists the twenty-one stories and authors that will be included in the book, was posted on the SF Signal website. Almost immediately, there is some grousing from the peanut gallery -- it seems that not one of the authors included in the lineup are (a)women, or (b)nonwhite. Commenters proceed to point this out, mostly keeping it down to a few sentences and seemingly content to speak up and move on. Luckily, Paul Di Filippo, one of the authors featured in the anthology, arrives on the scene, CAPS LOCK AT THE READY AND BRIMMING WITH RAGE. ( IF MAKING BAFFLING POTATO METAPHORS IS WRONG, I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT! )

Though I kind of like Posters have started invading the question poser's single journal post with gems like You are actually Jameth! etc... Obvious troll, is obvious, but still pretty funny.

Monday August 3 [ Somehow, Warhammer-adjacent wank just ends up funnier than the fans' own wank. It's like a rare and delicate flower by comparison. This one's vintage, aged one year (like cheap yet delicious wine) and doubles as an early shower of TV Tropes naming wank, foreshadowing the great renaming splooge-hurricane to come. The story begins in a magical place called "You Know, That Thing Where..."-land, where young tropes are born. Unfortunately, the parents can't decide on a name for their newest trope. "Bullet Barrage" was suggested first, but then "More Dakka" gains supporters. One added: 2008-07-02 13:19:35 by Cosmetor The dramatis personae introduced, the wank begins in earnest. (For those who don't have two hours to lose to the Site That Will Eat Your Mind, quotes:) Working Title: More Dakka: From YKTTW |
