Oh fair and forgiving denizens of fandom wank, it has come time for us to choose a new champion. Or a new mod, at least. You may have noticed us fading away, like beautiful unicorns. But no more!

Before you are the tasks three that must be completed for consideration:

1. You must locate a truly funny wank. It may be in our archives.
2. A golden apple. You may be creative.
3. Ten disney icons (edit: This can also be Pixar). Sep wants disney icons.

Those that complete this task will be brought before the oracle of Phosfate to hear their fate!




There will be prizes for participation, although they are best described as 'crappy'. Oh, and the mod prize.

AND WE'RE DONE. PRIZES IN NEXT POST

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.

Grabbed this from wank_report, with only some minor editing.

Finally, the expected adultfanfiction.net wank is breaking out.

Little history, in short: owner of AFF went AWOL. Four head mods take over. Owner returns, after six months of incommunicado, and takes back the archive. Four head mods quit. Owner Jaxxy complains site has been 'hijacked' by them. Surprisingly, all stays quiet (relative non-wankiness apparently helped by owner's delete button and friendslocks on LJ).

You may remember this from a fandom_lounge post.
You will be seeing some angry posts and claims from perhaps many people in the near future -- even rumors that AdultFanFiction.net is moving or being mass-abandoned by Members! I know this because a few attacks have already been deleted from this very site (even the News Post area, here).

Rest assured that I and your remaining faithful Staff am going to do everything to ensure the site's health that we always have. Please do not let the current rash of mayhem ruin your visits to AdultFanFiction.net, or fear for its future. After all, we've re-secured all this for the (presently) 64,528 Authors and Members of this site -- not ourselves. As ugly as this job is on this day, I personally cannot let the softness of my heart subject AdultFanFiction.net's members to potentially illegal actions by its Staff.

( But now the other shoe has dropped )

ETA: Is anyone still here? Anyway, here's a journal chronicling the events, and with a full list of resignations.

Over at wranglers, one of LJ's Brokeback Mountain communities, supersolenoids posts about creating a fic archive for the fandom. Seems simple enough, right?

WRONG.

The kerfuffle also continues here.

ladyoneill wants all you archivists to know that using an automated archive system is lazy.

"That may sound bitchy, but if you run an archive shouldn't that mean you should do the work?"
