So, remember this entry? I had just forgotten about it myself -- but it rises from the ashes like some drunk-dancing, gray-haired phoenix!

Taylor Made Soul (TMS) is closed. Adora the webmaster says:

"We are certainly not as active as we once were, many people have lost interest or moved on to other things and those who are still enthusiastic fans are in limbo, waiting for things that Taylor has planned for them in the future. As myself and many staff members are also drained and ready to move onto other things, it seems that now, when things are slow and it will cause as little disruption as possible is the best time to go."

Makes sense, right? Surely everything is on the up and up with this, and therefore no cause for drama, right?

Right.

A blog crops up called True Feelings On The Closing of TMS. Accusations fly about various things, such as...

Mods posting as Taylor Hicks!

Mods being JELLIS HATERZ!

PM screenshots!

And, of course, mods being blamed for TMS Moles, which brings us back to our former wank. The Circle of Wank, guys. It moves us all.

Old mods (who were banned by Adora for whatever reason) pop up to defend themselves, here, here and here. There are more from them in the comments.

Oh, and F_W is mentioned.

I don't understand what's going on anymore, so let's play Kick A Former Mod instead. (Thanks to this post. I guess.)

ETA: And, randomly, pictures of the mods have been posted.

As a lot of you must know by now, the first 12 Chapters of Midnight Sun, Smeyer's addition to her Uh-may-zing boooookes was leaked on the internet several days ago, and this has chagrined her dazzle verily.

From her official website:

August 28, 2008 (part II)

As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.

I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.

I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.

So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.

I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this message on the Midnight Sun page). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place.

I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.

--Stephenie

I don't think I need to add much more than that.  Lol.  This is so bloody beautiful...Oh Smeyer...please to be going over there to cry upon your pile of ill-begotten millions.  We all know that that book is going to be finished and published eventually so that you can add to your dragon hoard of booty. 

Who else thinks that she's just waaaaahing for the sympathy and threatening to not provide any more crack so that everyone can forget about the epic fail that was Breaking Dawn and start kissing her ass again? *raises hand*

Edit:

And we get reactions from the Amazon Boards and the ♥ TwiMoms ♥. The ONTD comm weighs in on the situation.

And the NuttyMadam reacts. Though sorry, there's no vid this time since she took it down. But here, have a transcription of the lost vid, courtesy of aegflota

We are all a bunch of meanies hiding away in this little club house of ours.

Smeyer Ego stroking.

Bonus Snack: The Twimoms just cannot leave the poor boy alone!. There's wankiness in the second link, as the TwiMom in the picture appears and asks for her photo to be taken down. Also, Here is a step by step instruction manual on how to go about your Pretty Vampire Actors stalking, for you n00bs who have no idea how to go about it. It is illustrated and everything. The TwiMoms are nothing, if not thorough.

OH NOES YOU GUISE! They be calling the FBI on us!!! WHAT DO WE DO? WHAT DO WE DO?

Twilight is going to save our country from the evil lesbians so you'd better all stop dissing it!

Cleolinda Midnight Sun Commentary! Yay. Lol.

ETA:How do you gain respect for your much derided favorite author? Why, by starting an online petition for it, of course!

EDIT: In light of the more recent wank involving FH and Laura, the links to her site have been removed.

Secret post that started it all. Specifically Secret 130.

It's an attack! But, don't worry about taking it down - I'll just try to divert attention to Michela instead. Looks like someone's never forgiven FanHistory either, and lays all the blame on Michela even though it seems other moderators there were involved.

ataniell93: There's no reason for you to know about me - that's why I repeatedly posted in this topic while signed in

SO RIGHT.

Leave Britney ataniell93 alone!

Here we finally see the truth: F_W hates me because I'm better than them!

Fail. The main reason F_W dislikes me is that I used to be part of F_W because some of my friends liked it, and then I saw that what F_W does is wrong, and instead of slinking quietly off into the dark and trying to forget it, I denounced the community. Period. I will never be forgiven for that, but I don't care, because it's not like I'm forgiving F_W next week. I still think who some of my friends are is part of the issue, but the main issue is that you all resent me for eating the red pill and waking up to what we were doing.

I guess we're all still in the Matrix.


And a personal note: Can one really be a part of F_W? It's not like we're Anonymous or anything.

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.

So! There is a bandom specific anonymous mocking comm over here on JF that is called bandflesh. It's all flashing text and caplock lulz and stupid anon shenanigans... until certain people decide that it's all too much for them. To the point of: Quite a few of the defriendings were people I have met IRL, care about a lot, a couple of them I even consider good friends.

Mmhmmm.

I wasn't sure if this was quite wanky enough for F_W itself, even though I got some lulz out of it.

[ETA]: Oh dear: South Part and Fandom Wank paved the way to a world where being a giant fuckwit is admirable and hilarious. And it makes me feel so vulnerable and unhappy and lonely, because how can I trust anyone?

:(.

Sequel to the big pureblood racism wank ahoy! Ishtar79 blames Fandom Wank. Other posters agree. Apparently, we're intolerant of any meta that mentions "WWII, racist organizations, and Lucius Malfoy" (unless we write it),FW members can get away with anything in HP fandom, and we break Snacky's Law on a regular basis, but snacky is a hypocrite and lets us do it.

Damn, harryandmione63. Just damn.

First off you say it's totally gay that people disagree with you. That's cool, that's fine, you say that as though it's now enticing to disagree with you, because if one of the perks I get is to be gay then fuck me down: that's a mighty fine offer.

But now Ron/Luna represents classism and 'raceism'?

Well, to your credit, you did spell racism correctly this time.

I love you, I really do. You're like this bountiful provider of wank, like mother nature and vaseline. You invite us all to frolick in your meadows of splooge and to walk among you in the serene fields of wadded tissues.

Can I keep you? For plz? I would feed you carrots and a fresh bowl of water every day and I would ensure that your cage is always lined with tissues clean hay. Of course, you might have to witness my partner abusing me, because I am a lowly R/Hr fan who cannot pick a good man if I tried, but I will try to be a good owner.



eta: Oh, and she would be totally forgetful if she didn't remind us of her new anti-FW community. And she did. Which is lucky, because I would have forgotten, because she hasn't linked it to a million different places yet.

darynthe decides to show Fandom Wank who rules on the lj comm. hmsgetalife. Please, please stop it. She shows her complete unawareness of FW history by saying that 900 comments on the last Harmonian thread must be a record. Someone needs to tell her about Crystalwank.

Then she pastes in lyrics to a song called 'Get a Life' for the benefit of FW members.

All sorts of hilarity in the comments including "We are trying to get you to stop the hatred and bad natured stupidity of sites such as FW.", a parable about Buddhist monks, and an alleged quote from the late John Paul II: "Even stupidity is a gift of God, but you should know how to use it." which I judge to be about as authentic as Karl Marx yelling "CAPITALISM ROCKS!"

Remember this wank, about little_needle and the Deathmatch o' Deathmatches?

Of course you do. Well, malfoypatriarch was not amused.

"Fuck you, F_W. Go make fun of your asshats and your Elijah/Dom shippers, and your bullshit trolls that only exist to stir up a wank. You haven't produced anything funny in months! Come back when you actually have a wank!"

JF apparently exists solely to host F_W. Well, that's news to me.

little_needle shows up: "Who the fuck would let a bunch of people talk about them and have nothing to say back? If they were going to try and fuck me, I was going to fuck them back just as hard. I think it got so big (there was nearly 200 posts the last time I looked) because they couldn't believe I (and oddly, so many other people) were telling them to fuck right off and aim their pissing cocks elsewhere (nice, I know =P). If only they understood how many people were laughing right back at them, including me. My favourite wank of all? I'll never forget it. Someone told me to fuck off before "they got out their ruler". My reply had to be, of course, "Promise?". What the fuck were they thinking? *choke* Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I was thinking "Oh look. A moron."

Then bitching about f_w, and how it can't take a joke.

All very rich, coming from someone who is an antiplebe, as my sekrit anonymous source for this wank has informed me.

ETA: It has come to my attention that Malfoypatriarch has been trolling this thread as Anon 6.7 and Anon 9.0. *points and laughs* What was that she said about Fandom_wank being all trolls again? *snorfle*

Since psychoaddict has opted to turn off comments to her announcement -- a complete wank hat trick, I'm impressed!-- I'm creating a new post specifically for comments and mockery of her little stunt here.

Enjoy.

*grinbounces*

RL obligations have kept me away from the computer this afternoon, but man, what a time I missed!

Have locked down community, which means that no-one but the wankas can post, and no-one can join without mod approval.

Once again and as I predicted and attempted to halt, SF wanked. But really, that's what this community is about. If we didn't have people with insane insecurity/paranoid complexes lusting after the mear mention of their names and appointing themselves as "FWs Mortal Enemy" then where would we be?

FW has finally made itself more fun than dl_anon for an afternoon or so. Kudos.

As promised, here's the wanktastic response from cuntface the alleged philosopher.

> Having stumbled across your timewasters anonymous piece,

Oh, I very much doubt that. I rather think that you lot are obsessively fuming over it - aren't I correct? Be honest now; I *know* the truth, after all, the numbers are there.

You say you can't stand idiots on your ffnet page - so how do you put up with yourself, eh? I came across your name several times while researching the FW, and not once did your posts impress me with any measure of intelligence. If you've got it, you're doing a good job of hiding it, along with any writing talents. Your canon-free, er, "humour" stories are at best dull and clunky, and in some places the sentences are completely ungrammatical and incoherent. And by associating yourself with a community that exists only for the purpose of mocking others, *you* made yourself a legitimate target.

But keep on screeching, do - it only demonstrates what I set out to prove: that FW can't *take* what it dishes out, oh no, and that all this "have a sense of humour else be mocked" is something none of you is prepared to accept for yourselves. (And that you're a bunch of self-important buffoons whose opinions no one should take seriously.) The more you all shout and stamp, and make wild conspiracy claims and projections, the more you prove yourselves to be the fools I named you.

P@L

--Oh, and do get a beta reader to help with those tricky bits like singular vs. plural and phrases that terminate meaninglessly in adjectives, at least. Such as:

"One of these was a tendency of gravitating towards attractive younger female."

If you were trying for a dry witty tone, you could have written "towards the attractive younger female" (though that would require reworking the rest of the prose to match) but ordinarily the plural should take an "s" at the end in English.

"He drummed his fingers on the arm of his throne, a the click of his fingernails against the bony resonating in the empty hall."

Is it "a click" or "the click" now?

And against the bony resonating *what* exactly? Or was there supposed to be a noun between "bony" and "resonating" instead? True, "resonating" *can* be used as a subject or object, (i.e., "the resonating of the gong gave him a headache") but not in this situation.

--Er, what exactly was I supposed to be respecting you for, now? It isn't like there was any perceptible *point* to the stories any more than to your posts, after all.

>I'd like to inform you that you're exceptionally misguided. Us down at Fandom wank take the piss out of nitty picky stuff, but I think that all of us are willing to admit that we ourselves are all aware that we're a fairly wanky lot ourselves. You claim to be above all this, yet you've clearly gone through a lot of time and effort to construct a rather offensive and judgemental piece of crap which I can see no other reason for other than as a tool of attention seeking whinginess.

Let me preface the following with two disclaimers:

1) I do not believe I have ever actually posted here. This link was handed to me on IM by a friend who knows I hang out here. If it's deliberate wankbait, WTF -- I'll take it and see what happens.(1)

2) I am NOT posting this because it is an attack on FW. I am posting it because it is without a doubt one of the most puffed-up piles of steaming self-importance I have seen in some time. Let's start with just a taste...
