[info]notjo
I have to admit, I don't even know how to sum this up.

Bride - or should I say, former Bride - reveals her theory that Brides are the Center of the Universe

After opening with her credentials to be advising Bridesmaids, she says:

And yes, my dear ladies, being in a bridal party is a job, and I am going to tell you what to do, thus this letter. I am advocate for the Bride in your life.

And then she goes on. And on. And on. With numbering, for easy reference. And then more numbering.

The comments are a fascinating mix of "OMG! you are so right!!!" and "OMG! You are so CRAZY".

The whole thing makes me glad I eloped.

So this one time, in [info]fictionwriters, [info]eggie1978 came in and posted an ad (ETA: all comments deleted, but what's this? Google Cache?) for her Official Author Website. Fictionwriters readers quickly zeroed in on the words 'fanfiction' and 'self-published' on the website, and author quickly started using the delete button on comments.

Luckily, some of the choicer parts have been saved for your amusement.

Also, it turns out, it's okay to be rude if you're British. It's just part of your culture. And it makes Eggie1978 want to sex you. )

You'd think that'd be the end of it. But oh, you'd be wrong. After the bahleetion and subsequent edit on the fictionwriters post, [info]eggie1978 thinks she just hasn't beat that horse enough yet. ETA: All locked, oh BB!

Eggie1978 posts what she's learned about being self-published, and somehow still intends it to be sarcastic )

[info]lytrigian tries to reason with her, but [info]eggie1978 is not having it, refusing advice from anyone who will not disclose the title of their own published book.

There's many more lols to be had when digging through the comment threads, so have at it!

ETA Random Bonus Lol: [info]eggie1978 gets pissy at someone over Jacob in Twilight ETA: Also locked! and says:
So, the hardcover copy of my book I was sending her is going to someone else.

NOOOOOES!

ETA2: ILU BB XOXOXOXO! Man, I went to a hockey game and missed all this fun :( (ETA again: Getting confused yet? Me too. This was edited from the original (so to speak, anyway. From winterfox, you sexy capper you!) to further vilify me this (thanks [info]cazrolime!), and then locked. Can we make a drinking game out of this yet?)

ETA3: Another cap from winterfox. We are such obsessed haters. Drinking our hater-aid with rude Brits and obsessing like obsessing things.
Another screencap duo (dialup beware!) of the same post, but some extra comments, courtesy of iwanttobeasleep.

Tag wank!

[info]wankaholic
LJ tags are SRS BUSINESS, apparently. SRS ENOUGH that [info]readysteadystop has HAD ENOUGH and is calling out the rival community, [info]piercing, on stealing her community, [info]bodymod's tagging system.

Accusations of outright theft and TL;DR!

Suggestions that [info]readysteadystop should put on her big girl panties!

"You only want to be made a "tagging mod" so you have mod privileges!"

An accusation that the community only attracts idiots!

TAGGING WANK: HIGH DRAMA.

Keeping track of checks is for old people and losers with low credit scores

[info]llama_treats
Over in bad_service, beccaweccavt makes a post about some "bad service" she receives from a mechanic who charges her less than they should have but OMG doesn't cash her check immediately! The denizens of bad_service are confused. beccaweccavt then proceeds to let the community know that she's unable to keep track of her written checks because she's a bookkeeper for a large corporation and has a credit score of 800.

Keep on truckin', beccaweccavt. Keep on truckin'.
