youcantwrite wank, yippee! (And yes, I've linked everything properly to LJ, not using lj-user/comm tag.)

dr_internet at one time applied at the community, and got rejected. His rage knows no bounds, and lo, he finds a diary that happens to belong to a member of youcantwrite, prime_radiant.

Wank ensues, wherein--

dr_internet badmouths prime_radiant's writing ability

prime_radiant is going to sue him

dr_internet (re)invades youcantwrite

___timetrap badmouths youcantwrite

marstokyo implores that dr_internet thinks of the children poor prime_radiant on ethical grounds

He's gonna reapply, watch out!

AND YOU WILL ALSO BE IN THE SUING WHEN I SUE. (Personally, I find prime_radiant's membership in youcantwrite to be rather ironic.)

Small, but fun and oh-so-grudgy.

Edit to add: dr_internet partook in copious quantities of whine in his LJ.

Found this on fanthropology.

RoC gave away excerpts from Touched By Venom, by Jeanine Cross at this year's World Fantasy Conference WFC is primarily a conference for professional fantasy writers and editors. Writers, editors and reviews read it,find it hideous, and spawn impromptu readings a la Eye of Argon for the rest of the convention. Cheryl Morgan mentions this in her blog, and Ballantine/DelRay's Assistant Publicity Director Colleen Lindsay responds. She says there's no mention of "venom cock" in the book, and that WFC is just a little con full of nobodies.

A reviewer, John Joseph Adams, proves Colleen wrong. Meanwhile, other people point out WFC had 900 people, and is mostly a professional conference.

Colleen's response? Anything under 10,000 is a little con and a little con-goer sneered at my publisher, so we hates them, my precious, we hates them forever!

ETA: Moved to fandom_wank!

How I love vaginapagina wank :)

So we have post number 1 (friends-locked) telling us that the only reason that girls feel uncomfortable with themselves is because of all the pornography

People object.

Then we have post number 2 by another poster telling us that women liking porn may just be another coping mechanism. sure men think (our boyfriends, husbands, society at large)it's "hot" if we too share in their enjoyment of porn, giving us that "cool girlfriend' position/image.

People object.

Still rather small (for VP wank at least), but VP is a really wanky community, so I have high hopes :)

Over on snopes_dot_com Tuesday's update was about an email going around from a Grandmother asking for prayers for her critically ill granddaughter. (Or something. Like I actually read the link.)

Anyway, the first post (from nemesisbecoming) asks "What the hell is this?" and you just know the thread is going downhill from there.

shawny demands prayers because she wants a new car (goddammit!)

twillitts dives straight in:
"Yeah, b/c that's as equally worthy a cause... stupid twat."

And they're off!

Highlights include:

"Your icon is ugly HAHAHAHA!" "No, your icon is uglier Nya Nah Na Naaah Nahhhh!"

"You're a fundamentalist nutjob (and probably gay)."

"Can't we all get along?" "NO!"

Pneumowned!

And something that was tl;dr for me (because I'm tired), but is along the lines of "So what if it's a hoax, prayer =/= money ... move to Europe if you don't like it."
