Wank and write up taken from the little mousey over at wank_report.

Tumblr user and Teen Wolf fan Heyysourwolf posts the air date for TW's third season. Unsurprisingly, she tags the post #s3 spoilers and--follow me closely, here--#teen wolf.

Sherlock fen, for no discernable reason whatever, assume that the post is regarding the air date for S3 of their show. Because no other show on TV anywhere is entering its third season, apparently. Or something.

Once they figure out that the post was not, in fact, about the return of the BBC series, Sherlock fen lose their shit.

Completely.

Sherlock fandom wants an apology RIGHT NOW, Heyysourwolf. A FORMAL apology. And we're going to berate you with misogynistic slurs and rant about how this is all your fault and how egregious it is that you should make yourself out to be the injured party and, above all, how immature you are, until we get it.

After all: "SOME OF US ARE EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE DO YOU EVEN FUCKING THINK BEFORE YOU POST? GOD I HOPE YOU GET PUNCHED IN THE TITS."*

* Probability that that particular entry is just somebody awesome trolling the shit out of the other anons with sarcasm: moderately high


EDIT: Aja has written an article about the wank for The Daily Dot.

Many thanks to the anon on wank_report for this small but delightful treat. I've used much of your wording in this post.


Sherlock, Merlin and Downton Abbey all go up for the National Television Awards.

Downton Abbey wins.

The Sherlock fandom on Tumblr goes batshit.

To 'get back' at Downton Abbey for winning, some people decide to start a mass campaign for Sherlock fans to spam the Downton Abbey hashtag, thereby pissing off the Downton fans.

Except for one problem...

They incorrectly spell Downton as 'Downtown' and instead spam the mispelled hashtag of "Downtown Abbey", a hashtag no one cares about or tracks.



It seems to be mostly over but here is a selection of links:

Many thanks to the anon on wank_report for this one; I've used almost all your wording in this post.


So, there's been a lot of general complaining on the Sherlock rant meme lately about terrible prompts on the kink meme, as well as terrible fills.

The current wank started with an offhand comment from one of the anons:

Is it wrong that I have the urge to add a 'only good writers please' note to the end of every prompt I make?

Probably why I haven't prompted anything in over a month when last time I prompted something I got a really shitty fill.

This leads to some people going to the prompt post and making (troll) prompts with just that request at the end, some of which are filled:

( Only fills from good authors, please! )

Eventually, people starting changing up the requests, asking for terrible writers only, mediocre writers only, Klingon speaking authors only, and:

One morning, Sherlock Holmes awoke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a giant penis.

Fills by wood rothers only, please.

Some anons start adding comment addendums to other prompts with the "only good writers" line while pretending to be the OP.

Meanwhile, people start to show up back at the rant post, angry about the "good writers only" prompts and unaware of how they originated. One such person, johnnypenn, makes a comment on the rant post decrying the prompts:

And the thread quickly turns into a complete wank fest, including gifs and anons quoting lines from johnnypenn's fics:

He tried to keep his mind bus by deducing the room;

He'd ordered Sherlock naked and onto the bed. Then he had chained him down and left him there to strew;

and

The fingers had found that spot which made the semen to be released.

Many thanks to the anon on wank_report for this. I’ve used your wording in this post and added a couple of things of my own.


Korean boy band SHINee announces that they're having a comeback, with a new mini-album called, for whatever reason, "Sherlock". Pictures are released.

Excited K-Pop fans take to their tumblrs! Many reblogs are made of the teaser pictures and tracks (examples here, here and here).

But lo! The Sherlock fandom is displeased! For you see, in their excitement, the Shawols have tagged their posts about obscure Korean pop bands with their tag.

Sherlockians shake their canes and yell, "Get off my lawn tag!" Shawols mostly just lol. And a tag war erupts:

Then both fandoms blink in confusion as a random troll appears and spams the Sherlock tags with gay porn:

* Thank you, penis guy, for stopping a war. But seriously, stop with the penises.

* First..the Shawols tagged everything ”Sherlock”

then the sherlockians got mad

…

but now there’s a penis

Just another day in the SHINee World

* OMGAWD! MAKE THE RANDOM PENISES STOP! I just saw one with a watch on it. o.O?

* Just so the Sherlockians know, it isn’t SHINee fans spamming penises, okay?

* lol awks when the SHINee fandom and Sherlock fandom are having a war over the Sherlock tag then some random bitch starts posting penis in the tag.

TaemintWaffle sums up the conflict pretty succinctly in GIF form here (very image heavy post).

And of course kyuhynsass does the logical thing and writes crossover porn.

And manips crop up, too.

ETA: Beware of the embedded music in many of the Tumblrs linked.

ETAx2: Great manip or greatest manip?

ETAx3: Some of the links were doubles. Sorry about that! They should all be fixed now.

ETAx4: Here, have a glorious icon (thanks, mcity!).

Thank you to the people on wank_report for this – I’m not familiar with the show or fandom, so I’m mostly using their write-up.

Rakspatel is a livejournal newbie and a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, including the recent BBC version. She likes it so much, she's set up her own comm, Mycrofting. According to its profile:

"Mycrofting is not MY community - it belongs to its members. My vision for this community is that it is run by its members for its members. All members are equal and I have set up the community so that all members can post whatever they want, whenever they want. There is no moderation in place (just as with Cumberbatchfans). I actively encourage all my members to post their own pieces direct onto the community site. I want to make everyone feel at home and able to contribute. I want to give everyone a voice. Mycrofting will therefore end up being what its members make it. Mycrofting is a co-operative enterprise."

Mycrofting, however, doesn't exactly do what it says on the tin.

Livejournal fandom is not the first place she's caused controversy. There's a wonderful collection here of stories and links to the problems she's caused elsewhere: Short version - DO NOT ENGAGE.

( ETA's 1,2,3 and 4 under the cut )

ETAx5: Raks discovered the various posts about her, banned two members and informed the community that anyone 'attacking' the mods (i.e. her) would be also be banned. And since one of the other mods turned on anon commenting, everyone came out to play. The post has been deleted but thanks to the anons on the wank_report thread (which has kind of exploded), there's a screencap of the post that includes all but one comment and a cap of the final comment before deletion.

ETAx6: I don't even know where to begin. It's probably easier if you just check page four of this post (and the soon-to-be page five if Raks keeps this up, which she probably will). Includes comment deletions, bannings, un-bannings, a new community and, of course, screencaps.

ETAx7: Raks has now been banned from four Sherlock forums, including the community she created. Detailed write-up plus caps here. And if none of that was bizarre enough for you, enjoy some more WTF here.

It was a frosty morning on the 29th of December when I was surprised to find Holmes already awake and active, pacing back and forth in a show of nervous energy before the hearth in a manner that suggested he had been waiting for me to arise for some time. Upon catching sight of me, he immediately presented me with a single piece of paper, now fraying slightly about the lines upon which it had been carefully folded.
