NOBODY EXPECTS IT.

[info]faultypremise
With apologies to Monty Python.

Jaina: Trouble at Fanficrants.
Kutsuwamushi: Oh no - what kind of trouble?
Jaina: Ona trlls 's rilin' up the 'mmunity.
Kutsuwamushi: Pardon?
Jaina: Ona trolls 's rilin' up the 'mmunity.
Kutsuwamushi: I don't understand what you're saying.
Jaina: [irritated] One of the trolls is riling up the community.
Kutsuwamushi: Well what on earth does that mean?
Jaina: *I* don't know - Theo Harrison just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at Fanficrants, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Wankish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The door flies open and Wanker Izzanami enters, flanked by two junior wankers, Jinxy-sama and Ravyn Skye]

NOBODY EXPECTS THE WANKISH INQUISITION! )

ETA!

Izzanami: Wankers, we are being mocked!
Jinxy-sama: What?! No one mocks the Wankish Inquisition!
Izzanami: Ha! Ha! Ha! I have the perfect plan.... Wankers, fetch... the EMPTY THREATS OF DOOMY DOOMINESS!

[JARRING CHORD]

ETA 2:

We have contact. Always happy to entertain, thank you for the compliment.

NSFW Webcomic Artist Throwdown

[info]sadisticferret
NSFW NSFW NSFW

Questionable Content's Jeph Jacques and Shortpacked!'s Dave Willis have a little crossover going today, which leads to Willis posting this drawing of himself as the creator of QC in his LiveJournal. So far, so good.

In response, Jacques posts a VERY NSFW drawing of Willis being fucked by a dog and sucking a guy's cock. Without an LJ-cut. There is now an ETA stating (bolding his):

dear everyone bitching about how I should've put this behind a cut because bawwww I look at LJ at work and almost got in trouble waaaawwwwww

Maybe you shouldn't be looking at livejournal at work


And lo and behold, there are indeed many comments requesting a cut, and just as many making fun of those who did.

Willis responds with an equally NSFW drawing of Jacques eating poo right from the source. And it all goes downhill from there.

There is bonus discussion in the comments on Jacques' incorrect use of terminology, as he states that Willis is a dogfucker, but he's clearly being depicted as being fucked by a dog.

Also, beware of guro macros in the comments.

Banned from Octocon!

[info]dhole
Before I get started, a disclaimer: The closest connection I have to Irish fandom is that I've flown over bits of Ireland from time to time. And, when I was a kid, I saw a lot of commercials for Lucky Charms. So I'm probably going to be missing a few subtleties. Also, this is something that happened recently, and recently . . . recently isn't really the decade that I'm best at.

With that said, it seems that there's a guy named Pádraig Ó Méalóid. Who's active in Irish con-going fandom. Or at least, he's active in large parts of Irish con-going fandom. But not Octocon, the Irish National Convention, which is going to be held next weekend. You see Pádraig got a letter the other day, that went a little something like this:


Hello,

I'm writing on behalf of the 2009 Octocon Committee. I am the Co-Chair.

Due to your behaviour at the convention some time ago and your online behaviour earlier this year we have come to the unfortunate decision to ban you from this convention. We believe that your attitude towards us has been far to aggressive both online and in the past at the convention.

This matter is not open for discussion and we will not enter into any online discussion regarding this nor will we discuss this with any other persons. This decision is final.

We are deeply saddened by this as this is the first time a committee has had to ban someone. We will of course will refund your money; if you reply to me with your address I will forward this onto you as soon as possible.

Regards,

Nichola Hannigan


Now, if you're like me, you look at a letter like that, and think "she probably meant 'far too aggressive'." Also, you'd find that third paragraph amusingly repetitive. (I have to warn you, if that was actually your reaction, you're going to want to lay some tarp around your work area, as one of the links that comes later is going to make your head explode. And that's hard to clean up.)

And, if you're someone like Pádraig, you'll go ahead and post the letter to your livejournal. I mean, I'd have done that as well, but with far more mockery.

But Pádraig wasn't the only place in which this news was broken. Cheryl Morgan happened to mention it as well. To quote the seemingly innocuous paragraph:


In less good news my email is currently buzzing with the news that my good friend Pádraig Ó Méalóid has apparently been banned from the convention. I know that Pádraig has been rather critical of the Octocon committee this year, and perhaps rather more aggressive about it than he should have been, but I know my fan history well enough to remember that banning people from conventions rarely ends well. The right way to deal with one’s critics is to prove them wrong by running a great event.


Comment 3 is by one James Brophy, who was, at that point, on the Octocon committee. And he's there to link to the convention's Code of Conduct, and defend the committee's decision. Against all challengers.

The first one he takes on is Pádraig. To his protestations of "I don't know what the hell they're talking about," James replies with "You turned your ignorance of your own actions into a press release." Zing!

Then there's another challenger. Gary Farber replies in his own, inimitable fashion. And at great length. And other people agree with him. Also, Chris O'Shea points out that the code of conduct in question wasn't actually put up on the web last week, which is apparently after whatever happened that made them kick Pádraig out of the convention. It also is in the realm of possibility that the code went up after they sent the letter.

Chris concludes with:

Octocon’s PR has the ears of the world at the moment, it would be a good time to explain what is going on, because in the absence of such, things will only get worse.


James isn't going to take that lying down! In the next comment, he announces his resignation from the con committee, and comprehensively flips his shit. This is where the grammar induced head-explosions are going to start, by the way, as his language skills seem to go at the same time as his temper.

I'm not a hundred percent capable of parsing the claims in the post, but as I understand them, they more or less go as follows: a) Pádraig is a mean guy. b) Also, he says mean things, both to people, and about people. c) One time, he took some prints from a photographer that he shouldn't have.

Rather than do a play-by-play for the rest of the thread, I'll summarize. Gary makes fun of James's difficulties both with the English language and with logic. James explains that one of the lurkers who supports him isn't speaking up, because he's a writer, and fears that Cheryl Morgan will ruin his career. Cheryl gets upset at that, and bans James from her blog, until she's contacted by the guy in question. Which, rather surprisingly, she is, so she un-bans him. Various other members of the committee show up, not so much to explain their actions, as to explain that they wanted this to be kept private, and they are saddened that Pádraig has put his own interests above those of a convention which he's not allowed to attend.

As one might expect, there's some discussion about there elsewhere on the internet; the one bit that jumped out at me as providing useful data was a comment on lj which suggested that one of Pádraig's major sins was founding a convention that's been more successful than Octocon over the last decade or so.

And that's all I've got.

This wank is like an absurdist comedy

bigi
Thanks to the mousie who posted this on [info]wank_report.

[info]r_becca starts the Harry/Ginny fic exchange [info]takingitinturns. Things go well for the most part, despite a small kerfluffle during the exchange over reviews.*

As it turns out, that would not be the last review wank this exchange would see.

[info]almond_joyz posts When You Figure Out You, Come Back to Me as a gift to another participant. The fic receives positive reviews until [info]deadwoodpecker adds her two cents in a rather patronizing manner.

Highlights include her telling the author that their fic - a dramatic story - was an absolutely hilarious "absurdist comedy" and then finishing with this:

And that "ending"! To be honest, I've gotten lazy about endings as well. After writing 30 chapters of Yellow Submarine, I pretty much threw in the towel and said "no more." I think that in another month or two - when you aren't so burnt out - you'll probably find that your little story needs a resolution.


[info]almond_joyz responds in a calm fashion, explaining it was not a comedy and that she is happy with the fic as is.

Then three of [info]deadwoodpecker's friends decided to add their critical reviews, one after another, each pointing out the same flaws in the story. [info]birlan even goes so far as to delete a prior positive review to the fic and repost his review pointing out the same flaws his friends did.

Another of [info]deadwoodpecker's friends, [info]mhersheybar, coincidentally decides to post a rant about the right to leave concrit before anyone reacts. In this post, [info]deadwoodpecker decides it would be a good idea to mock the story and [info]almond_joyz shows up to tell her off. Sadly, [info]mhersheybar decided to disable comments but if anyone has a screencap, it would be much appreciated. IIRC it involved [info]deadwoodpecker showing up just to post *gives erotic massage to paralyzed girl* and LOLing about it.

Elsewhere on the internets, Deadwoodpecker and friends are called assholes, [info]almond_joyz flips her shit and [info]deadwoodpecker decides to mock the author and [info]r_becca some more while gearing up for a flounce.

Finally, Deadwoodpecker tries to explain herself. She was just being honest, you guys. And the old guard in H/G is oppressing the newbs.

* I mention the early kerfluffle because [info]deadwoodpecker was suspected of being behind the review, according to her. Edit: Or because it was a rumor going around!

ETA: The plot thickens...?

ETA II: More history! A while back, after [info]deadwoodpecker and her friends swept the H/G awards, [info]almond_joyz decided to hold her own awards.

And thanks to [info]mariem_1 for the files of [info]deadwoodpecker mocking the fic.

ETA III: More history still! [info]deadwoodpecker had a discussion with [info]loony4lupin during the [info]hp_porninthesun fest. This was over the fest rules which [info]deadwoodpecker assumed singled her out personally. [info]loony4lupin is also the person whose fic was mentioned above as having been trashed by an anonymous reviewer with [info]deadwoodpecker being the suspect.

Thanks, mice!

Someone criticizing your fic on your personal journal? Call a mod!

[info]jkefka
Here's a very small but absolutely delightful fic wank courtesy of the mousies of [info]wank_report. I will say now that, to the best of my knowledge, all involved are 18+, though not all of them had ages posted so I can't be sure.

[info]ravenette2506 is am member of the small Alex Rider fandom (Alex Rider is apparently some teen spy book series I'd never heard of, but the wank is good anyways) and the yassen_alex community. She posts a fic of this pairing in her personal journal. [info]frayer shows up to give some constructive criticism (or "concrit," apparently? You kids and your crazy portmanteaus). To paraphrase: "your fandom tends to do a lot worse but this isn't bad, oh and this line bugged me." A little harsh, perhaps, but not overly nasty. But it's on a personal journal, right? If the author objects they can just deal, delete, screen, whatever.

Or not.

'The Mod Signal! Quick Boy Fapper, to the wankmobile!' )

ETA: Bahleetion! Luckily, [info]harumph has provided a cap for your entertainment. Also whoever linked them here is FAIL.

ETA deuce: OH NOES TEH HAXORS

ETA god my poor thesis: More cappage courtesy of [info]_goblin_! And may I repeat: mousie who trolled the wank, you are a failure among failures. (Now with the original "concrit" courtesy of [info]killer_gopher and [info]sisterelwood)(AND MORE!)

ETA FOR FUCK'S SAKE IT'S ONLY BEEN LIKE TEN MINUTES SINCE THE LAST ONE: Not content to rank among the mousies, SuperMod has appeared to slaughter us all with his/her/its passive-aggressive smilies! :)

ETA of genuine interest: This shit's getting weird. OK, so, we had bahleetion, then some helpful mouse showed up with a link to a cap which turned out to be capped by Yaseanne and was promptly deleted. The twist?

The "helpful mouse's" IP

abrandnewboom's IP

Yaseanne's IP

So...either these two are in collusion to both keep the wank alive and try to act all superior about it being trolled or we've got some crazy-ass sockpuppetry and IP hiding going on. Yeah. I don't even fucking know.

ETA FTW: And this, ladies and gentlemen, is good modding. *salutes*

Buffy wank on Twisting the Hellmouth.

[info]bacon_lover
Twisting the Hellmouth is a Buffy fan-fic site mostly for crossover stories. Awards are given by popular demand in different categories.

JoeHundredair, who is apparently a moderator on this site, decided a winning story written by mrmiklos contained too many grammatical errors and spelling mistakes… that the story was “sufficiently bad to prevent the majority of readers in enjoying the story”, and so quarantined it.
The reasoning:
After reading the start of 'Sunnydale Berserker' by MrMiklos, I sent him a review suggesting he acquire a beta because as an award winner, I felt his story should reflect a far higher quality of work than it did. In other words, we voted it the best, so it should be better than other stories on the site... right?

Upon further review, JoeHundredair and other moderators say ‘just kidding’ and decide the grammar/writing isn’t really that bad. However, the story was not properly classified as a ‘multiple crossover story’ when it was submitted to the site, and awards are not given to “multiple crossover” stories. So TtH removed the award from MrMiklos; a second author, Marcus Rowland, also has his award stripped for the same reason.

Marcus Rowland handles this with some grace.


mrmiklos does not, and flounces off.


Only he doesn't fully flounce off, but sticks around to fight some more.

JoeHundredair continues to comment back, with CAPSLOCK to EMPHASIZE some POINTS.
Abuses of power and vedetta abound.
Ignotus, a commentator, tries to keep perspective:
You know, this reminds me of something that I saw happen at my local library the other day. That situation was resolved quite easily... the mother took the kid home.

Wank continues.

Edited to make links work, hopefully.

At the intersection of FFVII and FFR...

[info]kalloway
When [info]shezoo reposts hir Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children fanfic, "Flower Face", to [info]ffvii_yaoi (locked, comm is open membership), the response is seemingly underwhelming - that is until [info]eternalwings posts to [info]fanficrants about the story.

The first few comments are pretty tame and agreeable, until some of the author's friends and the author hirself show up.

It's called AU, twit.

Apparently, the story title comes from Welsh mythology, something [info]renos_rude AND [info]screamersgirl explain in the comments using the exact same text (with a tiny error likely because the entire lump wouldn't fit in AIM).

And then the author appears, complete with capslock, insults and exclamation point abuse.

AND YOUR RUINING THE PRETEND!

Not to mention the entire thread devolving into something to do with coconut.

All's well that wanks well, right? Except that a quick check back to see when "Flower Face" was originally posted reveals that [info]shezoo is [info]sepherotica is [info]ssgallery is [info]annataria (that Annataria), because ze changes usernames as often as ze changes URLS. And while some of those journals have been deleted, Annataria's is still there, listing many of the 'random' defenders (including the one so taken by the story) on FFR as friends. ...whoops?

And the Twilight Wank Saga continues with an author flounce...

[info]ilya
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 [info]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!

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.

bandom_wank

[info]jar
So! There is a bandom specific anonymous mocking comm over here on JF that is called [info]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?

:(.

Knightus Maximus doesn't equal chivalry

[info]dqbunny
There are those in the Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou fandom that pride themselves on being a small, relatively wank-free fandom.

Then along comes Knightus Maximus, otherwise known as Knightus Detective Conan.

Once upon a time, Knightus and MagicBulletGirl used to date and work on translating Detective Conan manga scans together. This fairytale was not to last as MagicBulletGirl broke up with Knightus both personally and professionally early in 2007 and started doing scans on her own. He hasn't handled this well. Knightus accused MagicBulletGirl of stealing his scans and asked Icka! M. Chif, a BNF that fandom, to look into it. Icka determined that MagicBulletGirl was acting as a distro, so she didn't do anything. She did provide a handy summary of the wank to December 2007.

Yes, it's still going. So what happened?

Knightus responded to Icka!'s post by claiming, "She started it first!" and decides to steal MagicBulletGirl's scans of the latest Conan chapter. He apologised, said he fix it and never did. He proceeds to have a nostalgic dream about the past, then Knightus' close friends and fans rally behind him and proceed to her attack on his c-box (read from the bottom up.)

Being the benevolent soul that he is, Knightus and friends suggest that MagicBulletGirl stop doing manga scans because everyone knows competition is a bad thing. And what wank would be complete without some good old translator harassment?

Now, in addition to his normal duties, Knightus is also a moderator at the Detective Conan forums, where he proceeds to use his all-mighty moderator privileges to freeze the forum thread for English Manga Scans so no one but him can post to it. Despite complaints, the mods take two days to respond. 'Industrial Red State' is JD aka Kaizou, who runs Kaizou Subs. He started Kaizou with the purpose of running Kaze no Koe out of business, then 'retired' from Detective Conan anime subs when he succeeded. He and Knightus used to sub together. 'magicaldreams' is MagicBulletGirl's RL sister

Meanwhile, a friend of Knightus' begins to threaten MagicBulletGirl via IM and someone hacks into her site and starts deleting files away. Though Knightus claims to have an epiphany, his "father" suddenly jumps into the melee begins to threaten her on his son's behalf. Meanwhile, more files are deleted from MagicBulletGirl's site that are not related to Detective Conan, though MagicBulletGirl has specifically - and repeatedly - stated that she wants to simply be left alone.

Let me state for the record that Knightus is old enough to be taking the LSAT. In other words, he's in his mid-to-late 20s at the least. And yet, if this is his father, he goes and fights his fights for him - and urges people to vote for Obama while they're at it.

ETA 1: Knightus claims that "Daddy" doesn't belong to him. Is he really his father? You be the judge...

ETA 2: Knightus's anonymouses come out to play wank, resulting in the anonymous commenting being turned off. Meanwhile, 'Industrial Red State' comes out of retirement just for this wank!

Brand new ETA 3: Knightus: "I don't believe anything is posted on "F_W" for the purpose of being blown over or resolved."

A Flight of Bontlings

[info]dhole
Another late 90s wank. Sorry about that; it's been harder than I anticipated getting good primary sources online for some of the epically hilarious earlier stuff. But this one's got a certain amount of meat on its bones.

Anyhow, someone said something about a "new VB", and while I realize that they were probably referring to Victoria Bitter, as that would make sense in context and all, it reminded me of another VB. A VB whose name is seldom spoken, for reasons concealed herein )

New Rule: Non-Consensual =/= Rape

[info]missandrony
Short but sticky Inuyasha wank.

InuGrrrl writes your average, everyday, typical violent rape fic (with "i luv u"s exchanged after the fact to signal to the reader that It's All Good) and initially makes no note of this in her summary.

It's the typical kissing ass until 'distressed' points out that a disclaimer might be nice, among other things.

Brief Excerpt )

Heavy-handed, but not incorrect. That, however, inspires InuGrrrl to remove the fic from AFF (no great loss), much to the dismay of a few rabid squirrely fangirls.

Highlights from the Reviews )

'distressed' replies again and tries to correct a few misconceptions about her review, which don't seem to stick in anyone's brain. Finally InuGrrrl reposts the story with a tl;dr comment of her own in the reviews where she whines about how she did not glorify rape, and throws this gem into her new author's notes:

I have decided to repost my story. Enough people have requested it and I think it's fair. I have also added N/C and OOC to my summary but I will NOT add rape. It wasn't a rape and I won't say it was to please others.

Because just because it's non-consensual, that doesn't make it rape! There's also a note from her beta reader about this topic, revealing that this story, which focuses on how Kagome is 'beta' to Inuyasha's 'alpha' and must be put in her place, was a gift for the beta reader.

I don't know about anyone else, but if the person I betaed for wrote a fic about raping a 'beta' as a present to me, I would run for the Internet Hills.

ETA: Looks like the author got wind of things and the story/reviews came down with it. I, being a good little veteran of FW, have saved the story, the beta's note, and the original reviews.

Also, check out the entertaining wanking going on in this very post right here!

wee cute fanfiction rant

[info]dwarfjen
(From [info]wank_report, and I know nothing about the fandom but some things are universal.)

A fanfic is posted on a community dedicated to some anime pairing or other. It contains gay pr0n and a lot of descriptions like 'Pondering violet found playful emerald' and 'Satiated violet found burning emerald'.

Nobody has a problem with the gay pr0n, but a few people take exception to the writing.

The first thread is actually fairly cordial, if long-winded. We do learn that the author has 'a very stylist way of writing.'

The second thread, which continues here, heats up a bit, especially when chaosd jumps back in:

Violet eyes opened and shifted between seas of emerald.
It's very good you included this sentence in your example, as everything else in the two paras pales before it. I'll try to explain, being honest.

Sane reader's reaction would be between "disregarding" and "grabbing for an ice pack", depending on the overall fic quality and number of times the ficauthor brought it up before. Because over the years anime!fandomness exists, this turn of language's been used for everything, floor-wiping included. It's been parodied so much that a sufficiently uncaffeinated author out of his/her pre-teens won't ever think of using it in a somewhat serious piece.

And the author explains herself, sort of... )

The author actually manages to keep things fairly civil, but don't worry, her 'friends' jump in to inform everybody that everybody critiquing the story is just jealous, and also that she has more fangirls than the other people and therefore is right.

Small and cute, like a tempest in a (violet) teacup.

Since Slayers is a fandom...

[info]tarahime
I bring to you all my first wank report, courtesy of the lovely wankers at DeviantART.

It all starts out at the fanart gallery of a person called animecartist, a Copy Artist, whose choice of art style is to basically recopy original official art from several different anime series. However, it is not limited to just that as she has also taken the liberty to copy someone else's fanart.

I can smell the wank already )

This just in: fandom fucking funny, fandom_wank NOT fucking funny

[info]ipomoea
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*

So, upon the advice of my Evil Overlord, [info]lulinda, I came upon this gem of a community on LiveJournal, that, incidently, Undone is a member of:

So much wank.

Uber Wank.

But props for more Hetero!CatBoy musings.

And look who it is!

Supa Dupa Anime wank!
