My First Wank! I feel so...proud?
Hi, first wank. Hope it's not considered too unwanky for you all, but I find that the hilarious arrogance, the out-of-nowhere bible bashing and the mod intervention add up to a bubbling cauldron of splooge.

Also, this is wank on Gaia, but I do think it fits here and not in Gaia_wank. Why? Because this is more wank about writing, not about the actual Gaian website. But I will move it if people think it is better suited to Gaia_wank.

On with the wank!

So, there is a post about how all writers should expand their horizons!

While a mod made him edit it down, the original post did contain some wanky elements. They can be seen when people quote him in the thread.

Of course, people take massive offense.

Rowan Fox is the first of many to fuel the wank, calling the post "biased and unfouonded" (sic)

Zacharra calls Rowan "an angry little teenager who feels the need to be heard."

JoeLee uses A LOT OF PUNCTUATION AND CAPS TO PROVE HER POINT!

Wank explodes in the forum! The bible is inexplicably insulted! People are hurt! People generalize!

I've heard that the Writers' Forum is the smartest, most mature forum on Gaia. :?

EDIT: Sorry about the screwed-up date.

*clenches fists* Must not explode over Kain Odium's post...must be unbiased in reply...must not call Kain Odium a flaming dickhole...

*ahem*

JoeLee: WHY THE HELL DO YOU CALL US "IDIOTS"?!?!?!?!?! not all of the guys and girls here write only one genre!!!!
I personally write - fantasies, romances, comedies, thrillers, mysteries, horrors, i have 3 plays, many poems and lyrics, autobiography, tales, myths, sci-fy, adventures, historical and one journal-like!!!!!!!!! so who here writes in only one style?!!!?!?!!?

... *snicker*

"WHY THE HELL DO YOU CALL US "IDIOTS"?!?!?!?!?!"

Well, if she's gonna type like that it certainly isn't gonna help her case. XD

Wow, that's the first time I've heard someone haul out the "you reacted, therefore it must be true" spiel on someone else's behalf. Hee.

Also, "You speak words that I am well aware of"? Kain, baby, I don't think you have any room to talk about writing.

It is my demons come back to haunt me! That could have been me, twelve years ago. Though I never used that many exclamation marks in one - and oh, never lacked both shift keys, and - not me after all! Joy!

Or me, at that age, except that I would have written it in my paper diary and hid it under my bed, or in my locked desk drawer. Because we didn't have the internet back in the late Jurassic period my day.

1st person, teenage, modern day vampire? Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. And so many others it's not even funny.

Zane Cobriana, Cobra shapeshifter, thanks the gods every day for Danica, his hawk pair bond, and the peace their union has brought to the avian and serpiente. Soon, Danica will have a child to carry on their royal line. But what should be a happy time is riddled with doubt.

I have read two of her books and think of it as Published Sueage. It frustrates me that people like her get published and I get NOTHING.

Young Adult novelist who was an actual young adult when first published. Style can be summed up as Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles: The Junior Novelizations. I probably would have liked her stuff when I was nine.

Heeeee. I had a massive hate on for her for a while, just out of pure jealousy. I'm mature enough to admit that. ;)

I dropped out of the fandom a while ago, and will continue to stay until my fanfictions there are finished, and then I'm shipping out. Too many wangsty teenagers, all of whom have issues, not to mention that they suffer from what I call the "Goth" complex (I listen to more obscure bands than you! I cut! I'm depressed! I'm TEH KEWLIEZ!).

Although the wank there was incredibly, wonderously, amusing.

He uses "guy's" as a plural. He has no room to talk.

Kain Odium's response to one of the less-wanky dissenting posts (namely, the one which points out that his "is not the only opinion that matters"):
Futile attempts to crush me.

Kain may be batshit-insane, but he likes Cake's "Frank Sinatra".

And that has to count for something, right?

I think I'm having more of a "get away from the band; you're making the band's fans look stupid" response.

I've heard that the Writers' Forum is the smartest, most mature forum on Gaia. :?

Is that really something to brag about? S'like bragging that you can pick your crayons up all by yourself.

When you're 26.

It IS?! Dear lord, that's terrifying.

I can't seem to get worked up in a frothy rage over Kain. Don't know why. He just doesn't push my buttons, I guess. He seems to be one of the least wankiest people in the thread, anyway.

Oh, JoeLee. The brilliant poster once said you could do anything you want in Sci Fi fiction, regardless of logic or common sense and that research for Sci Fi is useless. I'm mentioning this to point out that her comment in the wank isn't the stupidest thing she's ever said.

Huh. I think Kain is a massive wanker. He's an arrogant asshole. And anyone who randomly insults the bible is wankier than wank. Maybe you're in cahoots with him, you commie! Ever think of that?

Gaia's hillarious, though. It's fun to just lurk and watch the pretension meter rise, especially when you're in ED or the WF.

The splooge keeps on flowing! World class wanker Tora Hikari makes a guest appearance, Rowan Fox comes back despite saying she wouldn't, Kain is generally assholish and Zacharra wins the sockpuppet award!
