R/K shippers can't get away with murder according to Summit.

[info]vitalitat
Delaneyg84 is a well known crazy Rob/Kristen shipper who reports on the personal lives of this amazing duo as if she's BFFs with them. Because of her amazing reporting skills she's gained a large following of fans online. In the past she has claimed that her husband works for Summit. This must be the way she gets her R/K hot-off-the-press info. Like this, her first exclusive )

But I digress, because recently she leaked several photos of the upcoming Eclipse movie (ty for the links, and here and here too, linking to suspended twitpic accout), declaring that if she were to go out she might as well go out with a bang and make it good. Shit talking about Summit right after that probably didn't help anything at all because Summit is suing Miss Delaney. And for good measure, here is the filing on Justia.

As said before, she has many, many fans, who already have her back and are offering up financial services in her time of need (however, I should add that she's declined the offer).


All links, sources, and whatnot was collected from the posts about this made by the lovely ladies at ontd_twatlight.

ETA:

Look like Summit was planning on selling the images as movie promo cards for $20 a piece!

Reasoned and reasonable literary criticism, Kradam-style

[info]urpletastic
First attempt at posting, although I've been barracking from the sidelines for about a millennium now ...

[info]astolat posts A Matter Of Inconvenience, which is American Idol slashfic (Kris/Adam) with a 'Regency' setting. At least, that's the general idea, and harmless enough you would have thought - assuming that AI AU RPS is your thing. (Alphabet soup!)

[info]zvi, however, takes exception. Amongst other objections, A Matter of Inconvenience is not about race, thoughtlessly invokes colonial issues, and just doesn't put up any warning flags for those who are about to read it. Also, apparently, this is a thing Astolat fucked up. Everybody, please to endeavor not to fuck up like that with your next happy fun sexytimes historical.

What starts off as moderately polite discussion about historicity in slash fanfiction is, however, quickly derailed by [info]willow who offers the following reasoned evaluation: In the middle of the cuppa tea, the empire waist dresses and the ass-sex of your AU Regency - please to be remembering the hydra heads of colonialism and imperialism and what that means for and about your whitey white penis salt lick fan thought of the moment.

[info]liviapenn tries to calm things down a bit with some entertaining stuff about plumbers and blow jobs but this only serves to upset [info]willow further. Why is it that everytime I see you lately, you're happily shoving your foot into your mouth via your hindquarters? ... You keep claiming to understand your privilege and say you're reflecting on it and then you start chomping that feces encrusted shoe leather again. [info]willow's User Info states "'M brown and I have an attitude." No kidding.

[info]astolat's attempt to explain herself gets stomped on, and the desirability of historical accuracy in a Kris/Adam Regency alternate universe is lathered, rinsed and repeated for those who missed it the first time.

Small, but strangely vitriolic given the subject matter. It's difficult to imagine why people are getting quite so over-excited about one piece of costumed fluff in a universe of lesbian cars and tentacle porn, but it may keep us entertained while we're waiting for next incarnation of VB.

ETA: Okay, I get the message, I got it wrong - or maybe I just don't have a sense of humour? Either way, it was obviously a bad call. Lesson learned.

Supernatural Fandom: THE AWFUL TRUTH...Is You're Deluding Yourself

[info]_goblin_
Thanks to a mousie on wank_report for this tip!

Even though they might be the same asshat!mousie who has linked the wankers to the wank_report already. This has happened before, so I suspect we have a repeat-offender moron!mouse on the loose.

(Update: reporter!mousie says no; the fink ain't hir. Many apologies to our intrepid reporter!mouse for the libel.)


Also, before we start, I humbly dedicate the following post to the presumably-different and very amusing outraged!mousie who continues to snipe in any and all posts on wank_report that feature [info]spn_gossip. Everyone loves a bonus wank!

This wank involves a nice long thread on [info]spn_gossip, but before we can get to that, you're going to need some definitions and facts:

Danneel Harris has short fingernails and is therefore lesbian. )

I love Supernatural. One of these days, I'm going to have to actually sit down and watch the show.

"How DARE you suggest her J2 fic is anything LESS than a masterpiece?"

[info]snacky
Just a little wank over how MEAN it is to give unsolicited (for, um, a certain definition of "unsolicited"), anonymous concrit.

Welcome, friends, to
THE ANONYMOUS WRITING FEEDBACK MEME


It's one of those memes where people post their names and other people comment anonymously, in this case, telling what they think of their writing.

Let's look at the rules, shall we?

1. If you’re a writer, comment to this post with your username.
2. Commenters, no drama please. Play like adults. And writers, be prepared for any comment.
3. Pimp the meme out by posting the above code into your journal.
4. Be honest.


(emphasis mine!)

So, we're clear on how this works, right? Writers put their names in themselves, voluntarily. They should expect any kind of feedback, and it will be honest. And as long as there is no drama, any kind of comment is allowed.

Unfortunately, not everyone is prepared for anonymous comments or honesty... )

Courtesy of this post on roleplaysecrets.

Hey guys, did you know? self-posts and shooped secrets are SERIOUS BUSINESS!

Anons in the post keep trying to show how they know it's a self-post, but crush_world prefers to believe it's a photoshop. And then ketsuban interrogates the text from a different perspective, and the anons go crazy over it.


Also, grammar is serious business too.

EDIT: a link to the secret in question.

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.

It's not plagiarism, it's *homage*!

[info]pyratejenni
Over on LJ, [info]caras_galadhon posts about a case of plagiarism in LoTRips fandom and why isn't anyone saying anything? Turns out not only did the author -- one [info]namarie120 plagiarize Jane Eyre for LotRips fandom, she also published it professionally.

In response, [info]koulagirl666 makes some interesting statements, including "The plagiarism standards in fandom are obviously markedly lower than IRL, else none of the movie-based fics or book-based fics would exist."

[info]caras_galadhon rebuts her argument, [info]koolagirl666 insists that no, no, it's differently, really! And that people have approached [info]namarie120 privately, so no one should say anything. (Never mind that the private approaches didn't work). [info]readgeekeasy rushes into ask so why are you being sooo MEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN????????!1111


And finally, [info]belle_lestrange wants us to leave great writers alone

ETA: More about this on [info]telesilla's LJ post.

ETA 2.1 : [info]namarie120 has deleted flocked posts on her LJ.

ETA 3: She'll never write again and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!

ETA 4: Caveat emptor.

Grab your tinhats!

[info]lasha
Alfredjkwak makes a post  in PadacklesRPS LJ community:

"So I've been really nervous about somethin for these christmas weeks and I will be till new year is over... 'cos what if Jared propose Sandy or somethin'... I'm just afraid...

Sandy is maybe a nice girl and all... (I don't like her) but if Jared propose her it means that there isn't any hope for J2... God I'm horrible person. 

Oh and I was just thinkin... does anyone else think about this?? <3 

Ms. Kwak 

EDIT: Oh I just wanted to add that I know Jared and Jensen are not maybe gay and they have girlfriends and all... but it is just... If I know Jared is married there isn't any hope left for J2 and then I can't read it any more 'cos my mind can't proceed it... Sorry <3

And I like Jensen's girlfriend thay are good together... but Sandy just said some thing in this one video I watched... that I got bad impression about her..." 

Jensen/Jared (J2) fans come and voice their opinions. 

Some agree with Alfredjkwak, here and here. A few don't.

Some think the OP needs psychological help. Another fan tries Earth logic and reminds people that J2 are fictional characters

However, most people think the post is a great opportunity to voice their true opinions about Jared's girlfriend, Sandy and Jensen's supposed girlfriend, Danneel.  But one person decides that Sandy's fashion sense needs some work.

And this special fan thinks we should just lay off the OP. You all are a bunch of meanies!

Quote: "Where the hell do you get off dissing someone so badly for their opinion? Like wtf? Are you stoopid? Dumdb? Allergic to politeness?"

SPN fandom - still bringing the crazy, this time with Tin Hats.

ETA: Wait, wait, there is now fic written for the wank!

ETA #2: It was all an experiment!

"I didn't make up AIDS!!!"

[info]charmian
'Plagiarism' kerfluffle in Korean boyband RPS fandom.

A few days ago, Ravenlock_3 posts a fic in which one of the characters is dying of AIDS, and later, quix_esque also postsa fic where one of the characters has AIDS.

Well, Ravenlock_3 is as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. She also claims that Quix_esque stole her deafness fic idea.

Look, I don't care about outright plagiarism because, I'll admit it, I'm not the best writer, but I'm good enough to deserve an "Inspired by this fic..." WHEN YOU STEAL MY IDEA. Copy my stuff straight out and I won't care, but I like my ideas. They are MINE.

Quix_esque, on the other hand, insists that she did not read Ravelock_3's fic, and defends herself against the accusations.

It looks like we had all better get down our claims fast, before we get accused of plagiarism. Dibs on cholera.

I'm Being Persecuted!

[info]ladyrogue
Moved from CW.

Meet [info]thevelvetsun. He has a beef with LJ admin, namely they bahleeted his character from a celeb RPG. The reason? It's against the TOS to impersonate anyone. Even in RPGs. Along comes [info]clawfoot who says that it was impersonation basically. TVS explains that he had a disclaimer, but as the TOS said, that doesn't matter. From there, TVS gets annoyed: Yeah, people have always been afraid of creepy and weird stuff. I guess that's why gay marriage hasn't been legalized yet, and people are still going around calling other people fag**ts and beating them to death. Just because they think it's creepy and weird doesn't mean we should be shut down with no warning. Yeah, this doesn't go over well.

TVS isn't done yet though, and posts again about how he was attacked in comments and that people are "judging" him for his type of RP. Wank unsurprisingly occurs. Small right now, but still has potential.

"Your type of storytelling needs to be regulated out of existence"

[info]favyan
In case anyone has forgotten that RPF is serious fucking business, here's a refresher course.

Over on the [info]house_wilson community, karaokegal posts the latest chapter in her Hugh Laurie/Robert Sean Leonard RPS fic.

People immediately begin flipping their shit, but the real fun doesn't start until a few brave souls attempt a little crowd control.

Guest appearances by The Internet Psychologist ("Your storie indicate a level of pathology that I have only seen referenced in clinical and criminal psych journals.") and The Fandom Optimist ("Why can't we all just get along?").

Small, but amusing.

"she said 'I know what it's like to be dead'"

[info]telesilla
Over on LJ Twinkledru posts a bit of a rant about the current round of the eternal RPS debate. Without naming any names at all, she mentions that somewhere along the line at some unstated point in time, someone compared RPS to the Holocaust.

All well and good, but if it stopped there, we wouldn't have wank and that would make [info]babyjesus cry. Fortunately, we get wank when Ginmar shows up demanding an apology for...well to be honest that's unclear, given that no one had even mentioned her name up to that point. She brings Twinkldru's girlfriend into it;. Twinkledru replies with a "who with the what now?" answer, and they're off.

ETA: WitcheryBitchery pointed out that Ginmar's explained why it's all about her.

Call me... Ms Normally-I-Hate-RPS

[info]pupsocket
From a mousie in [info]wank_report:

Once upon a time there was a wacky LJ chick called [info]brooklinegirl. She loved Garret Maggart (Blair from The Sentinel), and who can blame her? Being a wacky chick she thought up the Garretverse, the most off the wall and obviously fake Real Person World since the National Enquirer published that story about Elvis and the alien ass babies. The world turned, the number of laptops filled with Sprite increased slightly, there was much tongue-in-cheek hilarity and Funyun-bashing.

http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=brooklinegirl&keyword=GarettVerse&filter=all

And then [info]patk noticed:
http://patk.livejournal.com/17459.html
http://patk.livejournal.com/17812.html

I love how it's like the whole RPS is WRONG!!!/RPS is HOT!!! debates of the last couple of years have never happened, and this is all new. And how surprised she is, considering the fact that one episode of The Sentinel contains as much slash as the entire first season of Smallville.

ETA:

This all started when Starry Constellation Magazine interviewed Garett, BLG proceeded to lovingly mock, the interviewer did a trackback and was amused, but the RPS-wanker was not.

And alas, one of [info]patk's friends, [info]_suziq_ is so aghast at WOE GARETTVERSE that she won't play in the ficathon [ETA3: retrolocked!] that [info]brooklinegirl is running with [info]estrella30 that incidentally has Garretverse prompts...

ETA2: [info]patk loses, under Godwin's Law. Thanks for playing!

ETA3 OMG MEAN High school girls SUCK! sez [info]alyburns.

ETA4: And the crazy continues.

Gorillazslash animated icon wankage

[info]jrandomlurker
Wow. Don't even really know WHERE to begin with this one, but it's definitely wankage. Thanks to a friend on AIM for the link.

So [info]rivalstaq apparently had some art used and animated into icons without her permission. She posts a vitriolic rant about this to [info]gorillazslash:

http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/255093.html

Shit-flinging accusations of homophobia, image macros, shit-flinging accusations of internet-lawyering, metacommentary about the nature of copyright and how ZOMG the band wouldn't approve, and so on immediately ensue. Fun for all!

Some choice bits )

And, ever so helpfully, the mod adds in another post:

STOP ALL THE GOD DAMN DRAMA OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU.

This will certainly end well!

Prince of Tennis musical wank: with a taste of Godwin and pretty boys

[info]shylu
From [info]wank_report:

People on the tutixnagayan comm, a community for RPS between two Japanese stage actors who played in musical versions of Prince of Tennis and Bleach, got a little carried away, finding 'clues' about their relationship as seen at the Bleach musical, basically making things up. Hinoai, also a community member (see edit below), was also at the event and tells them half the stuff posted didnt happen at all--perhaps not the smartest move, but apparently the girl values truth over fangirling. Big mistake as all RPSers turn out rabid and ZOMGDONTUDARESAYTHEIRLOVEISNOTREAL!!111 Hinoai is attacked by at least 20 people, who tell her she's an elitist wh0r, a fandom nazi and should go commit suicide. Original post about this sadly deleted, but I actually felt sorry for hinoai as they were REALLY extraordinarily nasty - some of these people knew her well enough to get really personal.

Hinoai runs a community with picture scans of magazines and photosets featuring the actors. It's a closed community, though everyone can join freely, for a valid reason as can be read at the userinfo. She did however go and ban everyone who attacked her personally and told her to go commit suicide etc. Not that unfair--why share her scans and things with people who obviously prefer her dead? The banning spree apparently applied to the Bleach myu comm as well, and probably involved bystanders who just happen to be a member of tutixnagayan. cavechan felt she did no wrong and contacted hinoai, who said she "Even though... missed my post, you still wanted to congratulate for everyone coming together to bash me". She has since been reinstated as member of tenimyuenorondo.

koneko_desu, also banned, took all the pictures and posted them openly on her own journal. She called it 'retaliation'. Sane people got disgusted. koneko_desu went batshit.

AM I PRAISING MYSELF? NO! )

Hinoai wrote a general response in her own journal, which also has a lot of the deleted comments from the original post.

Koneko_desu then made a post asking for everyone in the tenimyu community to tell her if she's ruining things for them. If she gets half the fandom to do so she'll delete and apologize. So basically? She's asking about 1000 people to comment on her journal. Attention whore much?

Edit: And behold, a new Bleach myu community created because "There comes a time in every young LJer's life when she feels she has to split off from those who've coddled her thus far and stake out a place of her own, a place to fangirl with others where she can mod herself." Honourable mention of F_W on its userinfo.

Prince of Edit: We welcome an anti-hinoai mouse and hinoai herself in this thread with some clarification from both sides. (Or is it grudgewank?)

King of Edit: Screencaps from another mouse! (not the original tutixnagayan post, but congratulatory posts among themselves) And kooriyoukai laments on fandom, love and RPS!

The Last Edit: Read page 2 of comments with more guest appearances from hinoai, kooriyoukai, the bleach_myu mod and lots of mice. We finally get the missing piece of the puzzle here: Backup of the original comments in TxN, where hinoai is... well, actually wanky. And see how my original post is full of plotholes!

RPS Wank: Destroying my hope for humanity, one idiot at a time.

[info]walkingundine
This is an entry in Leadensky's LJ. And lo, it is a wanky entry. Leadensky felt the need to share hir views regarding RPS with the world. Ze doesn't like RPS, oh no precious, though it should be noted that ze has no such qualms regarding FPS/FPF.

Snipped below are some choice bits of rhetoric, for those who don't feel like wading through the entire entry. )

So, it's entirely possible that I'm misinterpreting, but the tone of the entry appears to imply that while chanslash/pedophiliafic/twincest in HP etc. are morally wrong, there is something... Extra-loathesome about RPS/RPF. I don't want to answer one moral judgement with another. I'm just here for the drinks, the boobies, and of course, the massive allburning war that inevitably will erupt in comments.
The preceding link represents Round One of this RPS Argument. A couple of our own- [info]shoiryu and [info]eljuno- step in with what looks to me like a relatively amiable response to an inflammatory subject. The OP then makes the mistake of invoking Fandom_Wank- always happy to oblige, by the way- and informs [info]eljuno that he can 'tell his buds' that 'this LJ is *NOT* going to become a battleground'.

Little bit too late, there. The rest of that thread continues civilly enough, which may have something to do with people going to sleep and waking up with less vitriol. Subsequent threads, however, show that the orouboros is far from finished.

Here, se_parsons brings up the tinhats as exemplars of the wrongness of RPS.

And here, purplepopple wants Shoiryu to name names!

In this thread, sa_parsons continues her discussion.

This goes on and on. For twoish pages of comments. People come and go, and some are more coherent and some are less. There are obligatory anonymice, and some gratuitous mudslinging.

I leave the rest, gentle readers, to you.

RPS/RPF + Ginmar = Wank

[info]wanktastic
[info]neadods makes a "RPS/RPF is bad, mmmkay?" entry here. As expected, wank follows.

Look for the inevitable "It's just like rape!" "Uh...not even close." argument, complete with Ginmar spooging all over the place and making personal attacks.

There's also the "Plz stop presenting your opinion as the RIGHT opinion kthx." "That's not what she said. P.S. You're wrong." debate. Again, many charming contributions from Ginmar.

This thread comparing RPS/RPF defenders to NAMBLA hasn't reached epic wank proportions but I expect it to explode before too long.

Finally, here the OP proves that she doesn't know the difference between slash and porn.

Good times.

ETA: Bonus "Think about the chirrun!" mini-wank here.

Son of ETA: The OP whines about being wanked and also compares the Terry Schiavo case to RPF. No, really.

Mm... Est Wank...

[info]cruel_illusion
I never post here, damn me for succumbing. But.. but it's [info]establishment wank. C'mon, someone even pulled out the Kettle to call it black!

you have officially been persecuted

I'd post some witty play by play here and links to everything everywhere, but frankly I can't be arsed to as Est wank seems to propagate itself at rates of speed which would astonish even Stephen Hawking. Go, and gaze in wonder as the laws of physics fall to the power of the wank. Faster than the speed of light, I tell ya.

Wank ensues, but there's a very good comment from our own Esorlehcar, for which I want to fangirl her for. Enjoy!
