Fail mods are failing

[info]sepiamagpie
Dearest, beloved, Fandom Wank.

I know you were looking forward to great excitement today. Some of you said words to me that indicated you anticipated fiery 'judgement' upon those who remained fresh and dewey white, those you call n00bs.

Anyway, you got today instead.

Stop anticipating things, we'll just break your hearts.


Sincerely,

Sepia P. Magpie, Esq.



PS: Use this post to reflect on how you could be better people. Or just fuck around in the comments.

Hmmm, what's the date again?

[info]snacky
As you all know, we've had a lot of n00bs join [info]fandom_wank recently, and we've been suffering some growing pains. Once again, we urge you to read our user info and learn about the rules and how to contact the mods and all the non-fun business.

Since we have so many new baby wankas, we need some help gently reminding the young ones (and some not so young ones) of the rules. We want you to be the FW Nannies, and help us guide our sweet n00bs through this harsh, wanky world. So, if you see any of the following things:

thoughts on yaoi
out of control boobie trains
excessive posting of recipes
unfunny macros
wank reenactment in the comments
trolling, trollbaiting, trollbiting, trip-trapping across my bridge
any random breaking of actual rules

please, feel free to use the comments of this post to tattle report to us. We've set up a new community for our baby wankas, [info]fw_timeout to spend some time, if they are caught. Make sure you join!

Remember, this will make us a stronger community!

Women Who Hate Dean Hating Women Hating... wait.

[info]themadscientist
Let's see if I can do this properly.

Hiatus in the Supernatural fandom officially started last Friday, and already fans are getting a little stir-crazy.
There have been small-time rumblings from various corners of LJ this season over gender issues and many of these rumblings have involved Dean Winchester, one of the two stars of Supernatural.

There are spoilers about the finale of course.
( Here )
eta: and for added FAIL, the poster of this wank has not figured out auto-formatting. Would anyone be kind enough to link me to the FAQ that deals with LJ-tags? When I try to use the search function I keep running into a page about harassment. Maybe it is a sign?

Joss Whedon and a rant about Firefly

[info]inconceivable
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a LiveJournal user called _allecto_ who hated Joss Whedon and his so called feminist reputation, and was determined to expose him for what he was.

To that end, she posted a rant on her LiveJournal which, to be quite frank, has to be read to be believed.

Here.

Highlights:
Zoe calls Mal 'sir' (thereby proving that Joss hates women).

Mal threatens to duct-tape Kaylee's mouth and lock her in the hold (thereby proving that _allecto_ would not recognise humour if it bit her on the butt while wearing a Groucho Marx disguise...oh, and Joss hates women).

The best bit?

On the strength of Joss' work on Firefly and interviews she has seen, _allecto_ alleges that:

I feel awful for Joss Whedon's wife. From what I've read about him and the interviews I've watched, I'm fairly certain that he rapes his wife and abuses her in various other ways.

Because _allecto_ appears to be screening comments (can't imagine why) or deleting any she doesn't like (ditto), disagreeing comments can be found in another LJ:

here.

ETA: Whedonesque reacts.

Screencaps of Whedonesque before it's gone can be found here.

Laundrygate continues!

Adam Hughes, the artist behind the infamous Mary Jane statue, says that we're interrogating it from the wrong perspective.

Woe unto the Scribes and the Hypocrites: Fic Critique Wank

[info]narcissam
Thanks to the mouse on [info]wank_report. ETA. Have found some more information since posting. Have changed report to include this.

[info]rageprufrock writes fanfic. I knew her slightly in HP fandom. In fact, we belonged to a certain community... but I'm getting ahead of myself here.

Anyway, she wrote a fic called Hindsight in the SGA fandom, and [info]the_moonmoth "analyzed" her fanfic, in a post on a community called 'The Cutting Board' which is devoted to critical analysis of SGA fics.

This made [info]rageprufrock feel hurt.

A *lot* of her friends then post about how evil it is to say critical things about other people's fanfic.

But it's revealed that [info]rageprufrock belongs to the community, Badficsupport, which is devoted to mocking badfics. I belong myself, but hadn't looked at it for a long, long time. So nice to see it featuring in a wank.

Meanwhile, back at 'The Cutting Board', there's a response.

NM

ETA 2. [info]rageprufrock has unsubbed from Badficsupport.

To quote rhiannonhero from LJ: "Anne Rice wouldn't last a day in fandom, yo."

[info]fictionbya
Apparently Anne Rice is upset about some of the reviewers at amazon.com for they have strained her Dickensean principles to the max!

(Scroll about halfway down. You are looking for reviewer "Anne Obrien Rice" and a paragraph that never ends.)

ETA: You will now have to click on "Next" under the customer reviews to locate the "Anne Obrien Rice" review. Just click and scroll down. It's hard to miss.

Also, iconage has happened at [info]fwank_icons.

Son of ETA: Amazon.com seems to have deleted the Anne Obrien Rice review (and the crop of reviews that came after it). Fortunately, some things which are posted on the internet have a way of ( being preserved forever. )

Tolkien is not only racist, but -- this is the Very Very Original Part -- also fascist. Apparently, the idea that Aragorn is the only legitimate ruler of Gondor is the "Fuhrer principle," whatever that means. Also, Denethor is a metaphor for capitalism, and Theoden's possession by Saruman means that the fascist pigs spit upon your constitutional monarchies. Or something. Anyway, lots of fun here.

Mild Pottersues Wank

[info]isntitironic
Last night's feature on Pottersues was Miss Jessica Kayes, one of those particularly pointless Sues who simply takes Harry's place in a universe where 'The Boy Who Lived' doesn't exist. There are surprisingly many of them. How is this wanky?

Well, for one thing, the author has written seven stories about her Sue's years at Hogwarts, totalling (according to Pottersues) seven hundred thousand words, and as yet unfinished.

For another, said author also devotes an entire web page to explaining why her character is not a Mary-Sue. It's mighty entertaining to watch her try to wiggle out of answering 'yes' through any possible loophole. This young lady would make a hell of a lawyer.

At least the folks at Pottersues are having fun.

And we can't forget the Which Jessicaverse Character Are You? quiz. This author actually thinks her Suefic is that important and that popular.
