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.

Something*Positive: where no one comes out smelling like roses. Moved from clairvoyantwank.

One of the main rules of LJ's Something*Positive feed is that you do not point out typos or other mistakes in the feed itself. It annoys the artist (Randy) to no end—he would prefer that you e-mail him mistakes instead.

Of course, not everyone knows this. Some people are jerks about it; Randy, in particular, gets pissed.

Pissed enough to post to the feed about it. Reactions are mixed, at first—the usual, "Please don't delete the feed!" and whatnot.

Then someone makes a comparison to Anne Rice, and suddenly, it's okay to criticize.

Accusations of having a "diva" attitude, of being told to grow the fuck up, and other plesantries abound, until both sides manage to make themselves look like complete idiots. Fun all around!

Something Positive, everyone's favourite webcomic featuring boneless, extra-huggable kitties, looks to be shaping up for a nasty surprise. The main character, Davan, is heading home, and his roommate PeeJee expresses a niggling sense of impending doom. The title of today's (well...as close to today as the author can get) comic is entitled "PeeJee as Cassandra", adding another level of uh-oh to the proceedings.

You'd think the members of the LJ feed would be able to keep wank to the plot, no?

...Well...

The very first comment, as well as including a lovely "first" line, asks simply, "Who's Cassandra?" Other comm members feel the need to deliver some thwappage. OP snarks "Well, what do you know, I happen to have fifteen [Greek mythology books] right behind me. I understand the concept of Cassandra the frustrated oracle, lets please keep in mind that Cassandra is a more contemporary name than Agamemmnon, and is not simply assumed to be a reference to the fall of Troy.

If that's all right with you."

Commenters call asshole. OP is quiet yet, but I don't doubt zhe'll be unable to handle such stinging insults in quiet...

Over at someposifeed, the lastest three pages of Something Positive are posted. Davan's mom is shown dead, having went peacefully in her sleep, on the last page.

The local dumbass, jassa, replies "BOOBIES!!" (Apparently, there's a running joke about this that I just don't get.)

So far, over a hundred replies, ranging from "STFU" to "make me!" Small, but amusing.
