	Yeah, some fandoms may have some batshit that rivals the Snapewives, some might even have something on the level of msscribe, but only one has both. HP fandom: refining crazy to an art form since 1997 (Reply to this)

	Can I get a corollary for comparing batshit shippers to Harmonians? It's becoming the Godwin's of ship wars... any time a ship war in a fandom other than HP gets heated, someone inevitably compares the opposing side to Harmonians. Anyone who invokes this law shall be sentenced to reading hp_cornfield in its entirety. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That is a hellish fate. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I think that already exists. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It does? Ahh, must've missed that then. My bad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One of the resident H/Hr shippers wrote it I think, maybe Napalmacy(sp)? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah. I had a nut attack over it. It happens sometimes. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Thank you. It annoys me as both a lover of good comedy and a Harry/Hermione shipper. I don't mind people taking the miss out of my fandom, but at least be creative about it, ya know? Wears a big nose and shouts "KEEP THAT MAN AWAY FROM MY COCAINE!" (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I love me some Twilight wank, but... yeah. Harry Potter's got a scope, variety and stamina that will take any fandom a long, long time to match. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Because in most fandoms, there isn't a 7-month-long wank over an encyclopedia, right? ;) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	scifantasy 2008-08-09 03:05 pm UTC (link)
	Most fandoms don't even have encyclopediae, at least not on the scale of HP. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	AND astral marriages AND book rewrites AND epic sockpuppetry AND shipper civil war AND actor tinhatting AND sorting community wank AND plagiarism AND fic archive meltdowns AND... So--let's see, Twilight has its own Carpet Book, its own website meltdown, and its own book rewrite. I'm not seeing any msscribing or astral marriage or anything. TRY HARDER, TWILIGHT.

	Regarding the astral marriage. Who is there to be married to? Aren't all the characters already paired up with their true love? (Haven't read the books and don't plan to) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The actors, of course! At the very least, they should start tinhatting Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, with a vocal minority insisting that she should go out with the kid who plays Jacob instead. And surely someone can start insisting she (the fan) is actually the reincarnation of Bella and that means she and Edward are having vampire miracle babies on the astral plane. If Victoria Bitter can claim to be 1) a hobbit and 2) the reincarnation of someone who isn't even dead yet, the Twilighters can try harder.

	Fandoms wank, but very few fandoms can wank with style. is oddly proud (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cleolinda 2008-08-09 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	I remember when we were all like, "Man, HP will never be able to touch LOTR and the Victoria Bitter thing." Oh, we were so innocent then. And hey, Twilight could catch up. I mean, I guess. If there's a fandom left after this. It's just going to have to put in years of hard ~~wank~~ work and commit a lot more fraud before it can overtake Harry Potter. (Reply to this)(Parent)
