| So Transfan, I Herd U Liek Pedo Bear? |
[06 Jan 2009|12:54pm] |
Transformers comic book fandom wank.. Early this morning, it was about pedophilia.
My doppelgänger from the IDW fan forum Skwege learned that he had been accused of having sex with children by the IDW forum fantards on Transfans.net. Sprunkner is a real internet tough guy. Unfortunately, he made it quite easy to find his dox.
Skwege was not happy to find he'd been slandered as a pedo. So he calls (yes, as in calls Sprunkner's landline) to tell him to take it down. No yelling, just something along the lines of "call me whatever you want but accusing me of child fucking is not cool."
What does Spencer (Sprunkner's IRL name) do? He freaks out and hangs up!
That's right-he's a coward. So Skwege leaves him a voicemail:
"Hi Spencer :
You like to make libelous accusations about people having sex with kids? That is really grown up of you. Oh wow, you live in Washington State as well? What a coincidence! Bellingham is only an hour from here.
It's not funny! I know little punks like you think they can run around all anonymous on the internet and think nothing can bite them in their ass. However let me tell you little man, you are going to retract your statement, and then apologize. Talking shit about someone is one thing, but making a disgusting and FOUL comment like that is libelous. I have the time, money, resources, and most importantly the fucking patience to see this through so don't toy with me little man."
Then Sprunkner has his wife (yes, someone actually agreed to marry him) respond. He doesn't have the balls to answer Skwege himself-he makes his wife call him back and tell him not to call. Unfortunately, Spencer posted her phone number and email as his contact information.
Some PMs get exchanged on the IDW forum and Sprunkner accuses Skwege of threatening him (although I doubt the police consider being asked to take down a post or telling someone you're suing them for slander are violations of any particular laws). He makes an announcement on Transfans.net, crying that Skwege is harassing his family and that he called the po-po on him.
Sprunkner did call the police and they in turn contact Skwege.
The result? The police are highly pissed off-at Sprunkner. Because this is much ado about comic books.
All this name calling and wank is over whether or not the comic book series All Hail Megatron is in continuity.
The police were not too happy about being called to mediate a dispute over Starscream's alt mode.
They lecture Sprunkner and felt Skwege was somewhat justified. Skwege apologizes for dragging the wife into the mess because being accused of fucking children is serious business that involves the IRL banhammer.
The wank continues on Tranfan.net where Sprunkner whines some more (I guess his wife made him sleep on the couch) and Skwege threatens to post a scan of the police report.
These fine examples of male adulthood continue to fight about giant robots. I believe Sprunkner's wife summed it up succinctly in an email to Skwege: "This is a fight over made up robots-let it go."
Unfortunately, everyone ignores her.
Edit: I accept this is total fail. Need more recipes and fail macros, please.

I'm just C&P'ing a mousie's post from wank_report. I can't pass up entitlement wank.
Crunchyroll is going legit. The site owner, Shinji, has been wheeling and dealing to have anime air subbed only days after it airs in Japan.
OK, users are pleased, the Naruto fans look on in anticipation, everything seems hunky-dory.
Then, Shinji introduces Anime memberships for the site. Did not read all of the benefits but the gist seems to be higher quality videos and quicker access to the anime from Japan.
That happened in the past few weeks. Now queue the new year!
Oops, did he just say that he was removing all fan uploaded content and getting permission from the publishers?
Queue the butthurt, angst, and I will kill for my anime!!!!Z!!!!!!ZOMG~!!!! Along with people eagerly trading links for other sites to feed their addiction.
The dramas, anime, and music sections now look like ghost towns, with the exception of stuff Shinji has wheeled and dealed for.
People are predicting the death of the site, but for now, it's fun seeing the entitlement angst going on over there.

| FIC: Coming to Life (Snape/Pansy) |
[31 Dec 2008|03:47pm] |
To: odogoddess From: Your Secret Santa
Title Coming to Life Author leni_jess Pairings Snape/Pansy, hint of Snape/Millicent Summary When Slytherin females decide to do a Slytherin male a favour, it's possible they all think too hard about what that means. Rating NC-17 Warnings Smut. Slytherins. No squicks. Word length 5,435 words Author's notes odogoddess, you asked for "a clueless Snape/seductress Pansy moment", and "Slytherin motivations". I hope Snape is sufficiently clueless, here! The motivations (real or imagined) are thick on the ground. You should find a few other things you asked for. I hope it pleases you. Thank you to my beta reader S and her good eye for significant detail, and to smutty_claus moderator r_becca, whose patience is unearthly.

| At the intersection of FFVII and FFR... |
[30 Dec 2008|04:02pm] |
When shezoo reposts hir Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children fanfic, "Flower Face", to ffvii_yaoi (locked, comm is open membership), the response is seemingly underwhelming - that is until eternalwings posts to fanficrants about the story.
The first few comments are pretty tame and agreeable, until some of the author's friends and the author hirself show up.
It's called AU, twit.
Apparently, the story title comes from Welsh mythology, something renos_rude AND screamersgirl explain in the comments using the exact same text (with a tiny error likely because the entire lump wouldn't fit in AIM).
And then the author appears, complete with capslock, insults and exclamation point abuse.
AND YOUR RUINING THE PRETEND!
Not to mention the entire thread devolving into something to do with coconut.
All's well that wanks well, right? Except that a quick check back to see when "Flower Face" was originally posted reveals that shezoo is sepherotica is ssgallery is annataria (that Annataria), because ze changes usernames as often as ze changes URLS. And while some of those journals have been deleted, Annataria's is still there, listing many of the 'random' defenders (including the one so taken by the story) on FFR as friends. ...whoops?

Does anyone remember this wank from awhile back? http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1157179.html
I know Taral Wayne from the above article, personally, and while it took awhile for him to get around to seeing the article, he did finally see it. He felt it was well-written, as factual as could be, and had few problems with it. He did feel people might like to hear more directly from him, so provided me with a brief article. I'll include it below.
