1:33p | Dear project manager, You're a friend of mine, and you know that. And I know you have it rough these days. However, that is not going to stop me from pointing out all the bs you've managed to come up with. Yes, I do realize people have real lives (I have a job! I KNOW!) and that shit happens. And I know bugging people after a deadline is due is tough. But dude. WE'VE BEEN DELAYED FOR THREE MONTHS, and our project has been ongoing since November of LAST YEAR, and it's supposed to be due in MAY. If you're just going to let everyone slide, why even bother with a fucking deadline? And as the leader, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE DOING ALL THIS SHIT ON TIME. Don't fucking extend the deadline because you suddenly can't make it when the only reason you have is ~*~procrastination~*~ when some of us did manage to finish on time even with school and jobs, when you... didn't have those. And don't you think it's just a little embarrassing that we had to delay the release date when we already had PAID pre-orders? "But it's just fandom! We're only supposed to be doing this for fun!" I agree, it's supposed to be for fun. But does that mean we don't need deadlines anymore? Not even when you've already been given several months to work on it? And don't you think things change, even a little, when you get a lot of people involved? It's a huge, ambitious first project. I know. But a little perspective, here? I offered help several times. I was denied all those times. Then it turned out you can't make it in time, after all. Did you ask for help? No. I asked repeatedly if the most important part of the project was done yet a month ago. You avoided the question, avoided me, then asked one of the members to do it less than a week before the final deadline. Seriously, what? What if she had refused? Then we'll have to delay it even MORE, and that's just. Ugh. So now, I'm the bitch because I should be GRATEFUL!!ichi!1niisan!1!! that it's done, instead of being irritated since we could have organized this a lot better. I AM glad it's done. However, if you're starting another project, I am definitely not joining unless if you manage to straighten yourself out, or if you find someone else who's willing to straighten YOU out. Love, Me.

1:33a | Remember Warner Brothers' lawyers? They're back! Bollywood's 'Hari Puttar' film sparks lawsuit By RAMOLA TALWAR BADAM, Associated Press Writer MUMBAI, India - Let's see Hari Puttar get out of this one. Bollywood producers set to release a film called "Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors" are working to fend off a lawsuit filed by Warner Bros. that claims the movie title hews too closely to their mega-famous boy wizard franchise. At least they're not suing preteens for running fansites. Current Mood: *thud* |

9:37p | Tired of Steph Meyer's wank yet? Once upon a time in the magical land of YouTube, there was a Scottish Youtuber who got bored one night . Turning on her camera and pressing the record button, she sat on her arse to praise the latest work of the almighty Stephenie Meyer, the next best thing since JK Rowling. She was rather stout with a squared jaw and rectangular shaped eyes. Her hair was a silky brown in colour, straight and thin, shining under her lantern's light. After a few seconds of nasty glares and emo stares, our Scottish Youtuber goes on to make her announcement of just how disappointed she is with fans; going on to patronise the whole fanbase on just how pathetic they really are, not realising the irony of her statements. Quoth she in a patronising tone while staring closely into the camera: "How can you act like this? After reading that amaaaaaaazing book, not shit! not boring! not glorified fanfiction, A-MAAZING BOOK! I'ma say it real clear: A-MA-ZING BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK! You've been waiting for what? A year? And you've been thinking of how wonderful it's going to be, and DYING to get your hands on it, cause it's going to be soooo good! And then you complain about it? Because it's not what you wanted? She briefly blew a small gust of wind into her hair, so as to keep her bangs from falling further into her eyes. "Since when do you get what you want by complaining, you ungrateful little turd?" she enquires with a tone of anger in her voice "Yeah, I'm talking to you! You who is watching this! If you have ever complained about Breaking Dawn because it wasn't what you wanted it to be: I'ma just go this real slow for you, because your brain obviously isn't working right now, because you're being STUPID thinking that its not very good anyway, okay? "Number One: Stephenie Meyer is a GENIUS! Ya-HA, Ya-HA, okay? She rocks! She wrote Twilight, she wrote New Moon, she wrote Eclipse and you loved them!" Not even going halfway through her video, her fellow viewers stopped and said: "Fat FAT FAT FAT You are fat." Another said: "Please tell me, why all the Twilight fans are stupid, fat girls?" And another: "I think YOU'RE overreacting. You couldn't pay me to read that shit again. Maybe one day you'll develop literary taste and you'll realize how godawful Breaking Dawn was -- no, how godawful EVERY book after Twilight was, and that srs bsns people like you have been acting as Stephenie Meyer's cash cows for the past 3 years. Smeyer's sun tanning on her yacht right now that YOU helped pay for, laughing her ass off at the teenies who believe whatever bullshit she spoonfeeds them." But best of all. one said: "THIS. ISN'T. SPARRRRTAAAAA! You're allowed to have your opinion. The 'haters' are allowed to have theirs. Deal with it. Stop being so insane over a book. Y SO SRS BSNS? " But fortunately to her support one kind soul said: "I personally loved the book! Although I do think that weather people loved it or hated it they should be able to share their opinions, I do have a problem with people who take it to ridiculous extreems. I hope that after a while things will cool down and everyone can just get over all this drama. I loved all the books and will just try to ignore all the negative feedback. Also, coming from an American I would just like to say that Fuckwit is the most awesome swear word I have ever heard.lol!" Like the broken clock that used to tick next to me, the vast majority of commentors just went "wankity-wank, wankity-wank, wankity-wank-wank" and occasionally one with a high enough level of oestrogen would go "squee-squee-squee, squeekity sqee! with joy! at the girl who defended Stephie and her literary classics!" This goes on for a while as tradition has it, and then along came an anonymouse to report the wankage at ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif){kind=small} wank_reportI'm ready for my award now for best break-through narrative of 2008. [EDIT]:Oh yes, I forgot to point out that like the big bad wolf, this one also huffs and puffs, but didn't succeed in blowing down the house. But she did however manage to have a sadgasm somewhere in between her huffing and her acid trip when Renessme(sp?) supposedly gave her "visions". She also stated that "real vampires poop and wee on you", assuming of course she has come across real ones in her lifetime, and they didn't actually pop out of Stephenie Meyer's books during her state of emotional high. Thank you anonymous! |

8:33p | Disney Revamping Powers, Activate! After doing a little archive hunting, I didn't see this posted anywhere in the comm, so as a bit of apology for my downer of a last post, I thought I'd bring something a little more interesting and hopefully less depressing (though your mileage may vary). Set to air in October, Studio Madhouse has started an anime retelling of the popular Lilo and Stitch franchise at Disney's commissioning called Stitch!, in which the titular character crash lands on a fictional island off of Okinawa instead of Hawaii and befriends a Japanese girl named Yuna. The Official Site (there's a preview/promo video the fourth link down). Personally, I think Lilo's overall design is cuter, but I'll likely be watching this anyway 'cause I want to see how it comes out. |

3:07p | This is possibly a crazy question, but... Are there any sane fans of ALW's Phantom of the Opera out there? I've been dying to find someone who is a) willing to chat with me about the London/Canadian version of the play, b) willing to take the play less seriously than most, and c) not batshit insane about either the Phantom or Raoul. Bonus points to those who don't go off into a tear about how Sarah Brightman sucks as Christine or how one stage adaption is better than the other.

10:59p | I MUST have REASONABLE reason to hate someone's favorite character? Well, from my POV; those topic of "Who you like/hate and reason why you like/hate him/her?" should be dropped or banned from discussion. Because it causes more problems than actives the decent discussion without wank of people get defensive "OMG HOW DARE U LIKE/HATE HIM/HER". Yes, I replied the topic that I hate a female character A. Reason? To me she is annoying. And many of fic that turn her sue horrify me. Comment replied of what I said; "She is annoying isn't reasonable reason of why you hate her. It's unfair to hate her base on bad fic." I go WUT? After reading reply 3 times. 1. Because of she is your favorite doesn't mean she is not in my hate list. And not all people must like her as you like. 2. Like, dislike, hate is kinda personal feeling. Like taste people have different of taste. I hate pink, do I have to tell you why and must be reasonable at all? 3. As I said, first that character annoys me. The sue fic just make me more dislike her. I don't base all my hate on bad fic in the first place. 4. Please don't try to convince me to like her. Because it'll turn to opposite result if you annoy me enough. I won't magically turn 180 degrees to like her suddenly for the "reasonable reason" either. |

Death announcements are hereby cornfielded to deathwatch.Death notices for fannish figures famous enough that you could expect to have a conversation about how tragic it is with a random person at the bus stop are still permitted. (Heath Ledger: yes. Third elf from the left in Rivendell: no.) Existing death posts may stay, but in the future, take it to deathwatch. |

11:26a | Tod takes up the family business Tod, the cool Goldberg, has published a tie-in novel. Enticed to this ignoble pursuit by brother Lee, no less! In the LA Times yesterday, Tod recounts the experience of writing a "Burn Notice" novel. And despite whatever claims of "emotional investment" that Lee may have expressed, it sure sounds like Tod took a lot more joy the job than his self-loathing brother. C'mon, Tod, if you can't find the Partridge Family rights-holders, then write the story anyway and post it to the Internet. You know you wanna! |

10:43a | Twilight, for serious business Is anyone interested in having a serious discussion in regards to Twilight? I kind of want to get my think on. For example, I wondered whether there were any major black characters, or, more specifically, I wondered whether there were any black vampires, considering they're always described as pale and whatever. I haven't read the books and don't want to, but my twinno's plodding through, and of the first eighty pages, she says Also, I don't really consider myself a postcolonialist, but all the frickin' whiteness in this novel is bugging me. I understand it takes place in a town with very little sun, but it describes everyone as either "pale" or "porcelain" or "chalky." And it really bothers me that the whitest people of all (the vampires) are also the most beautiful of all. I really really really hope that that was unintentional, and not at all supposed to be correlative.Also I want to talk about how the pro-abstinence message appeals to parents, yet they completely miss the "leave your parents forever to be with the boy you love!" bit, though I guess the totally-happy-ending in Breaking Dawn renders that null and void anyway. |

1:16p | Stargat Atlantis RIP I'm surprised nobody has picked up this wank from wank_report. I don't really know the fandom so I'm just going by what I could find in the links given. Stargate Atlantis has been canceled. Queue the wank from the fans over the announcement which can be found in the comments over at GateWorld and Joe Mallozzi's blog (a writer/executive producer for the series). They include such gems like: ( Am I high? Did they just cancel SGA? Why???? ) And of course what fan reaction to the cancelation of a series would be complete without the 'bring back our show' petition, which can be seen here. And now there's even a LJ community dedicated to bringing back Stargate Atlantis. But Stargate fans don't have too much time to come to terms about SGA's cancellation as it is then announced that a new Stargate series has been green-lit for production, Stargate Universe. In the announcement they mention that this series will be geared towards a younger audience and will have a 'young vibe' to it. Not all Stargate fans take to the announcement in good graces, for example: ( I'm going to hurl, seriously. ) |

11:01p | Freaking great. Yes, I know I promise to upload the EP up after I can get it subbed by subbing team. (Who are very friendly to me <3) Yes, I fucking know and download the said release already. But you know what? 1. I'm not the member of sub team. 2. I have life other than watching and uploading anime. Work 40+hours/week + 5 hours of Japanese class. Ya know. And with the ridiculous deadline coming, I can't focus over anime and fandom for sure. 3. My network is PITA. DL and UL rate turn to 0.0 kb/s after 9 PM. Which is the most of time I'm in front of my com. I'll do it as fast as I can but since you are NOT asking me nicely, maybe next month or month after it if I have a good mood and TIME to do. *go and take chill pills* MOAR RANT: Dear Ms./Mr. doujinshi thief, Sorry to burst your ball. But you STOLE the scans from another website and the actual scaner who donated it to the said website CALLED you for it. Deleting LJ entries and comments does not make you magically not being called for STEALING. And now you are whining on your site (which full of stuffs you stole). You are blood fail as that girl who fucking plagiarized a fic by just renaming all name with another and being caught red hand. Then went the lame of "I got permission". Current Mood: Bitch Slapped |

7:40p | The Story of Thursdaywench & Co. (This got a little stale over in clairvoyantwank, but I'm hoping I can bring a FRESH take on it, hurr hurr hurr. Screencapped entries were formerly public, now flocked.)Now, this is a story all about how My trip got flipped, turned upside down And I 'd like to take a minute I know this seems random I'll tell you how I became a wanker in the SPN fandom I went on a trip with my SPN chums To Vancouver, where Supernatural comes from Chillin' out, maxin,' relaxin', you bet And conning my way as PA onto the set When an actual employee Who was up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got just a little caught and thrown out of the workplace I couldn't believe the way they embarrassed my face Later on my friends and I tried to get back there To try and see the actors (with their gorgeous hair) Jensen and Jared, both of whom I'd like to boff And can you believe it? They totes blew us off! I ranted on my eljay and when other fans came near They said angry things, made me want to disappear I wanted to stay public, cuz that's how I rock, But I thought, nah forget it, it's time for friendslock! I was angry and entitled, so I had lashed out (But maybe Jensen and Jared would find me cute with a pout?) I looked at my journal I have all you to thank For crowning me Queen of SuperStalkery Wank.

5:27p | So, recently I caught up on Heroes, and am quite liking it, and now I'm looking for some decent silly crackfic, because it's got a lot of crack/humour/silliness potential. I've no idea who's good and who isn't, and there're quite a lot of fic communities, so, recs plz? I haven't really got strong character preferences, so long as the fic is amusing. |

8:50p | O_O Okay, so right now, I'm reading Lois McMaster Bujold's "Ethan of Athos," the first book in her long-ass series, "The Vorkosigan Saga." I got it purely because of a spoiler I read at the Tropes Wiki and an icon I saw on Fandom_Wank. Now that I'm actually reading the book, I gotta ask... WHY ISN'T THIS FANDOM MORE POPULAR?! Sci-fi, divine writing, clever technobabble, feminist examination of a literal man's world, complete with canon slash and pseudocest? And this is all in the first two chapters! So. Fucking. Awesome. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to my book. :-) Let me just say real quick, though: Happy birthday, [Bad username: cooterfawx6195682]! (AKA, my baby sister.) Eighteen. Wow. You grew up while I wasn't looking. I'm still taller than you, though. :-D Love you, darlin'. Current Mood:  excited |
