May I Please Speak to the Complaints Department

So, I haven't read the Twilight books, and don't intend to, because everything I've read about them makes me think that I would dislike them.

(Not only dislike, but be offended. Both at the poor writing and the implied attitudes.)

And yet, somehow, I don't think that the author deserves to be mocked for being upset about the leak of one of her drafts. Earning millions on sparkly vampires doesn't mean that he should just smile and say "I can't be sad because I have MILLIONS OF ILL-GOTTEN DOLLARS" when something happens that would upset most normal human beings.

If I was in the same situation, I would be upset, embarrassed, and disinclined to continue as well.

Your plan, it is backfiring.

smart_blonde223 is now trying to pretend that her journal has been HACKED BY ANONYMOUS. Nevermind that I've been checking her journal periodically since I realized the sockpuppetry, and she was posting normally until after I called her out.

But anyway, since I am nothing if not helpful and considerate, I emailed the contact-able mods of her other communities with this warning:

Hi there.

I'm one of the maintainers of fanficrants. We're about to ban smart_blond223 from the community because she has been trolling herself using a sockpuppet, helena1234. The two relevant posts are here:

http://community.livejournal.com/fanficrants/7071285.html
http://community.livejournal.com/fanficrants/7129984.html

(If they're deleted by the time you get this message, I have screenshots. All you have to do is ask.)

Once she was called out, she began to spam her journal with offensive material so that she could claim to have been hacked. Now, I don't believe for one moment that she has actually been hacked (you can see my reasoning on the second post I linked you to).

However, if it's true that she's been hacked, then the person that is in control of her account now likes to post massive amounts of pornography and nazi spam, and might start posting it to her communities next. I thought you guys deserved a warning.

An update to my previous post:

icedmaple is complaining about it in her journal (two posts) and it's hilarious. She's calling me, among other things, "one of the most childish, arrogant, and petty people I've ever met on the internet." And also "a total headcase."

This is the same person who accused me of not deleting her comments because I wanted to show off how I'm much more rational than she is. And who honestly, truly believes that she’s psychic.

(I'm just going to ignore how she completely missed my point about religion, because that's actually a bit annoying. Let’s just hope she’s put off enough by the “complete fucking imbecile” modding the community to leave it.)

Where have I read this story before?

2008-07-27T19:12:19Z

I love this post on little_details for reasons too numerous to mention, but I see bad things on the horizon. I hope that the wi-fi at work is up so I can keep an eye on it.

(My favorite part is how she thought it was relevant that the younger twin is still a virgin.)

Who here lives in a country with free healthcare and would like to marry me? D:

I will cook, clean, and take care of your cats. I might also take care of your kids, depending on if they are crate trained.

WRYYYYY

Someone didn't get the memo that fandom is broke up with this question for being a sexist dickwad years ago.

when I do think about [yaoi] I'm usually mystified as to the why. I mean, it's not exactly something you watch to get aroused for, the way guys look at lesbians porning out. this.

... uh-huh. It's definitely not.

There are harmless morons who you almost enjoy seeing because of their entertainment value, and then there are offensive, racist morons who should just drop off of the face of the earth.

If she's not banned (and isn't banned after this reveal), then it's important to keep the two straight, so the level of condemnation and shunning remains appropriately high.

I AM SO EXCITED

2008-04-30T02:43:04Z

We spotted "it was a social experiment" in our very own backyard! It was even of the beautiful "for psych class" variety.

I'm not sure that we should be interacting with it, but it's such a compelling creature that it's hard to resist.

Here.

The background story is basically that maiyri posted to fanficrants congratulating herself for flaming a twelve-year-old author. Then after being criticized, she posted again, breaking the fanficrants rule about extending drama into new posts. That's why she was banned. The posts are linked from the recent posts in ffrantsrants.

Holy anonymous comment spam!

2008-04-18T20:25:13Z

Why is it that JF has such a problem with anonymous comment spam, versus LJ? I just spent way too much time deleting anonymous spam on both of my JF accounts.

So sadly, I have to go to no-anonymous commenting. I don't like to do that because it's not as if getting a JF account is effortless, but that was just ridiculous.

Please don't delete. Please don't delete. Please don't delete.

jewelia13 just posted this on ffrantsrants, the community where fanficrants members bitch about each other.

Hey, all! New member here, and I just wanted to say a few things. (Yes, I am a member of fanficrants as well... I wanted to see how the other side thought. You know, and get the whole perspective on the concept.)

1. Hee. This is one of the snarkiest pages I have come across in a *long* while. Kudos to you all for not just sitting back and taking it!

2. That being said, we sometimes do have valid points. (Even though I will admit to being a grammar and spelling nazi. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, but I edit my mother's newspaper articles and it's sort of a habit now. And yes, I miss things. Sometimes several things.)

3. I discovered this site as part of a nasty post on fanficrants. I thought it would be awful with vicious, baseless attacks (something like, "Well, you suck 'cause you're fat!"). That just goes to show what I know!

Anyways... hi!

She apparently managed to bypass the whole, you know, point.

I had fun today.

2008-04-02T02:41:07Z

Here. My favorite part is when not_quite_queen still didn't get it even after being rickroll'd. Twice.

My second favorite part is from eleanorb, who has some sort of time zone rage. She complained in the post (screened), but the best part is from her personal journal:

You know what I hate? People posting April Fool's jokes on international communities. Assuming everyone follows the 'lunch time rule' our jokes aren't funny to the Aussies and New Zealanders and the Yanks jokes aren't funny for us.

Stop it already!!!

TIME ZONES ARE SERIOUS, GUYS.

I CAN HAS BANNINGS NAO

This is going to be fun.

I'm obviously getting tired of all of the rape rants on fanficrants. On the latest "rape is srs bizness!" post, I almost replied, IT WASN'T SERIOUS WHEN I RAPED YOUR MOM.

Foof is a bad influence.

I didn't do it, because it would be horribly offensive. And the sad thing is that I agree with most of these rants. It's just PLEASE STOP POSTING ABOUT IT. I KNOW. WE GET IT.

HALP

2008-01-13T09:35:18Z

Someone asked me for a link to that horrible Domlijah manip, and I can't for the life of me remember where I last saw it. Does anyone have it bookmarked?

ladybirdsleeps @ 2007-12-18T23:31:00

2007-12-19T05:31:39Z

Hay, is this possible grudgewank on our weepingcock? I know, I know, that's too good to be true; it's probably just some twit missing the point. Again.

I've discovered a line that I won't cross.

2007-12-17T08:17:32Z

Usually, I'll follow a good author into the depths of hell. There's very little that I won't read, if I recognize and respect the name attached to it.

But I just saw something I hadn't even realized was one of my squicks:

Zuko/Iroh

This hadn't even occured to me. I would rather it never have occured to me; for some reason Avatar turns all of the things that I just go "eh" about when in other fandoms (like adult/child incest) into "omg no."

And I was so happy to see that she had written Avatar fic, too.

HEY ASHENMOTE

2007-12-06T23:55:26Z

... ;_;

There's an idiot on fanficrants who is saying that blackmailing a woman into sex isn't rape; that violence or the threat of violence is required. The idiot is German and made a vague reference to German law being different.

Do you know anything about what German law says regarding rape and consent? All I can find (being limited to English and lacking in Google fu) is that Germany has the crime of "sexual coercion", which doesn't require proof of force or resistance, that can be aggravated to rape if intercourse occurs.

2007-12-06T04:38:11Z

I'm seriously considering posting pics of my boobs on fanficrants just to prove a point. But I can't find my pictures of my boobs.*

I wish I had a Wacoal bra for every post made by someone who apparently doesn't understand the relationship between band and cup size.

* I once modeled poses in underwear and bra for an artist friend. They aren't sexy pictures, but they do give an awesome view of my stegosaurus backbone. These are the only pictures of my boobs I have. =(

My original comment was: "I'm honestly surprised that you didn't know how to make whipped cream, kind of like I'm surprised that there are people who don't know hamburger comes from cows. Except you can form coherent sentences, and I'm sure they probably can't.'

I'm glad I didn't post that one.

Too many logarithms make me bitchy.

His previous work has included a story where a teenaged girl had a missile fired into her vagina and was turned on by it.

WTF.

Did teh_no really write a story like that? That's what this anonymouse says on little_details. (scroll down) I'm not in comics fandom or willing to sort through his fanfic to find it, but I'm morbidly curious now.

ladybirdsleeps @ 2007-11-20T19:21:00

Whoops.

My God, who do I have to blow to get some good Eroica porn?

~~Put your hand down, you pervert. It was a rhetorical question.~~

It seems like all of the porn -- even the recommended porn -- has the same problem: As soon as Dorian and Klaus tumble into bed, they turn into completely different people. I have to wonder, who is this sensitive, tolerant person named Klaus who's calling Dorian things like "my love"?

Now, this may seem like a naive complaint; don't all fandoms have this problem?

Well, yes, but either I have bad luck or Eroica is especially bad. And it's weird because of how swift the turn-around is. It's as though Klaus's prostrate is an on-button for touchy-feelyness. Press once, he stops calling you a faggot! Press twice, he'll say he loves you! Press three times, and you're married!

Ugh.

The recs journal

2007-10-08T03:19:00Z

Here is the page:

bettugi

I also have a mirror on LJ (same username), but I won't be reposting all of the recs there. I'm kind of attached to my many LJ accounts and don't want to be suspended for boyporn.

Yes, it's under a pseudonym. I HAVE MY REASONS.

There are no recs up yet, because I spent my time polishing up my IRC tutorial instead.

How do I create account?

2007-10-07T18:42:31Z

Well, damn!

I decided that since LJ seems to have certain issues with high school boys getting boned by their teachers, JF is probably the best home for my new BL recs page.

Now, I know that free account creation is turned off, so I planned to buy the account when I got home today. (It's about time I start supporting JF anyway.) Except the Paid Accounts link is MIA, and I'm not a paid user so I don't know where the sekrit priority support area is.

Someone tell me what to do.
