Well, I happened to be bumming around Wikipedia and I noticed that apparently no one had ever gotten around to adding anything to the Fandom Wank entry, so I scribbled a couple of paragraphs. It's not the bestest thing every by any means, but at least it looks a bit more like an encyclopedia article. Other people should add stuff! It just takes a little clicking and learning the weird markup!
Er ... pass the Doritos? ;) |

I have an anonymous troll! Yay!
My anonymous troll sucks! Boo!
I don't even know how to provoke my anonymous troll. Do I watch the Spider-Man 2 trailer again, so I can complain about Tobey Maguire some more? Or do I describe how I saw Cats last night? (Season tickets, yo.)
Help me, anonymouse! |

Great quote from Slashdot:
"Good luck finding foil made from tin. Sheesh, even checking at www.allfoils.com, it's not even in their "other exotic metals" list. You should try Aluminum foil. It's MUCH easier to find and much cheaper. Why, it can be bought in pretty much any grocery store.
It should have all the radio mind control wave blocking properties that tinfoil would have. Since the resistance of aluminum is only 26.5 nanoOhms*meter, and tin is 115 nanoOhms*meter, it would actually work better!" |

And the answer is, no. But hey. |

This is nowhere near up to fandom_wank standards, although maybe if al_riddle keeps it up it will go all wanky on us later.
I even posted a civil message and got a civil reply and everything, but ... you can't very well put something (complaints/musings about friending, classing wank material) in your post and then maintain that your post is not "about that" when people respond to it.
Rather off-putting, at least to my personal sensibilities, is this from her profile:
My birthday is coming up, and I would love a nice present from someone. Only four things, not a big deal, right? Although that number is subject to change.
*A Livejournal Paid Account - Because having no icon space bites.
*A Harry/Draco fanart in which they are kissing, preferably on a bed or against a wall.
*A cute, Harry/Draco first-kiss fic. Nothing above PG-13.
*More Livejournal friends - If you are a random person reading this profile, it'd be nice to have you as a friend. :)
Yes, we know you desire greatly for people to friend you, which, if a tinch unhealthy, is all very well and good in the scheme of things, I guess. I'm a bit boggled by the other demands, however. Eh, whatever.
She has the eeny-weeny-narrow-column-of-text-over-a-background-with-more-text LJ layout too ... I was rather amused by it, anyway ... |

On Friday and Saturday evenings I went out with my dad to see things that demanded I be arsed to care which, among a number of [horses, trains], was the fastest. Which is something, as you might have gathered, that I am not naturally inclined to care about. So [it, he] is faster! Big fucking deal! But I digress.

Thanks to sajasma for the pretty screencaps.
There is no good Gandalf/Pippin slash. The nearest thing I have found is this, which I quite liked, but you know. Rated G. |

| Inexplicable Peter Pan drabble |
[Jul. 21st, 2003|06:55 pm] |
So I watched the trailer for Peter Pan. I have never actually read any of the original Barrie material (neither the play, which came first, nor any of the books), although I should do. I have never seen the Disney movie, nor any other movies. Nor have I ever written a drabble.
And yet, here is this thing.
Not movie-canon, not book-canon, not trailer-canon, not anything-canon. Wildly AU. Or something.

...when you start with a story, hearing the voices of the characters in your head (where applicable, of course, TV/movie fandoms) and you get further in and realize that you cannot, no matter how hard you try, hear them saying anything you're reading.
But you keep reading anyway.
That's a bad, bad, thing. |

Well, once you're watching five hours of X-Files a day, you know that a.) it's summer and b.) you're a fan. Jeez, that's practically a part-time job, except for the fact that it doesn't, you know, pay.
Where is the X-Fic that doesn't suck? |

| my great and t00by love for Sherlock Holmes |

Back when I was 13 or so, I discovered Sherlock Holmes, academic writing, and slash, all in one. Admittedly, I was ickle and naïve and didn't really know what slash was, but in retrospect there was a perfectly good reason that The Adventure of the Three Garridebs was my favorite story.
I printed out the entirety of A Study In Scarlet on our dot matrix printer, and thereafter decided that I should probably try the library in the future. I had the good fortune to stumble directly across William Baring-Gould's lovely two volumes of The Annotated Sherlock Holmes, with all its notes and its essays and references to an entire fandom in printed form. There were scholarly types playing the Game (I annoyed my dad and little brother for some time by insisting that Sherlock Holmes was real. No imagination, they had), all sorts of fic, generally either humorous or serious (parodies and pastiches), crossovers, flamewars, Big Name Fans, arguments about illustrators and film adaptations.
And this was just the stuff in print! In spite of having primitive, limited internet access, and looking up quantities of information, I didn't actually discover online fandom-type stuff until rather later with Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings. Derivative, fannish stuff concerning Sherlock Holmes seems to have fared better, maybe because most of it escaped lengthy copyright extension and could more readily be published in print for a profit.
Having discovered the joys of slash, and the wonderful and expansive world of fandom, it wasn't all that long before I found Holmes/Watson slash, and my life was complete. Well, no, not really, but it gives me warm fuzzies and stuff. Hence my much-beloved default icon.
Courtesy of a gift certificate to my friendly local mystery bookstore (we haven't got an ordinary bookstore, but we do have a mystery bookstore that serves tea, no less) I now have my own copy of The Annotated Sherlock Holmes. I should break that out... |
