And in the category of the sun revolves around the earth…

I wasted the past weekend at Revelcon. As with most cons, I’m sure there were great gobs of wank allover the place. And I’m sure I would have heard more of it had I been the least bit more sociable. Instead, I mostly read while (occasionally) helping at Mysti’s table. Still, I have a lovely piece of wank to report….

It was at a panel on LiveJournal. The topic was fanfic posted to LJ. A person piped up that she thought posting fanfic to LJ was an abuse of LJ and not the purpose of it. Okay. Even though the panel was making the point that an online journal could be anything you wanted. The person made some confused statement about how she wouldn’t read fanfic in LJ because she didn’t like that you couldn’t leave comments on LJ fanfic. Uh? Then, here’s the best:

Person: I won’t read fanfic on LJ. You’re depriving me of fanfic by posting to LJ.
Me: Uh, actually, you’re depriving yourself.
Person (bombastically): Well, I DON’T agree.
Okay.

Lemone: *sits and reads post*

Wanker Logic: ZOOM! *goes over the head of Lemone*

I suppose it's all for the best.

For some reason, I keep wanting to make the lemon in your icon into a spaceship.

Spaceship? Ummmm....

Well, you're welcome to if you want, I guess.

Who's the sad little girl in your icon, and what series is she from?

Thanks.

She's Cornet Espoir, and she's from Rhapsody, a PSX "Musical RPG" (it's about as cheesy as it sounds, but cute).

My only guess - and it's just a guess because she didn't say anything beyond "I can't leave comments" was that she hit a journal that banned anonymous posts since it was clear that she didn't have an LJ account. Which makes her sound like a troll who's pissed that she couldn't leave her nastiness there.

Damn straight! And the wank is always so wonderfully surreal and inexplicable. "I'd buy it...but I'd feel funny having a picture of a woman on my wall" will never get old.

Where was this con? I'm trying to figure out if this was the same one another LJ friend went to, although she didn't mention an LJ panel.

It was in Houston.

*points to icon* I used it since you seem to be another fan of the snarky priest.

Of course I forgot to mention that it must be a different con, since I'm fairly sure the LJ friend lives in CA and said nothing about airplane rides. But at least I get to use another icon of the snarky priest.

I still can't get over one I heard a little while ago, that went something like:

Random Fan 1, Who Is Not A Con Organizer: What are you doing here?
Random Fan 2: Going to a con.
RF1WINACO: You're not supposed to be here. You're leaving the country right after this, right?
RF2: Yes.
RF1WINACO: Good.

*blink*

*blink*

Yeah. Apparently I'm the only one to WTF at that. I guess "There ain't enough room in the fandom fer both of us, pardner!" declarations are commonplace, or something.
