okay, we totally lose for life

[seperis]

Anyone else on stupid_free and sf_drama?

Because seriously, fandom is officially the most mundane place on the internet when we can't do shit like this.

People? Take notes. This is awesome. This is--the pinnacle of what the snark/wank communities should be. This is beautiful.

*reading, enchanted*

...Oh my God it's like a whole world just opened up to me. @_@

*wipes tear* I found the snark comms in November and realized my life had no meaning before.

It's so beautiful. I am so glad I am here to see this moment.

*holds hands with you*

Oh, girlfriend. Someday when I stop sucking at this writing thing, I will dedicate some prime smut to you, just for this.

They are debating the banning in cf_debate. I have never been this happy in my life.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Why can't fandom be this dramatically grudgewanky? The--just--*eyes fill with tears*. Will we ever be able to achieve anything like this?

[tropes.livejournal.com]

Amazing.

[tropes.livejournal.com]

Dude. Clearly our experiences of fandom are not the same. =))

Hey, I totally watched fandom wank since it started (and what the hell is up this last month?) And clarivoyant. And some other ones maybe in their own special folder.

Just--this. Just. I would just love it so much more if I knew the people involved because then I get to take sides and it's not as much fun without that edge of righteous indignation.

*sad*

You know, the last few days I've been terribly tempted to post snarky/wanky things. I've been very good the past year and a half since I joined fandom, and it seems like it's about my time to start up some huge fandom drama. So as to improve my chances of making it to BNFdom someday.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Should I pre-emptively come out on your side or instantly turn against you? Ooh, the possibilities.

[tropes.livejournal.com]

What's going on this last month? I haven't watched regularly in ages. *curious*

[cottontail.livejournal.com]

Which ever way will bring in the most attention.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*sulks* Not much. Not much. I can't tell if fandom is being less wanky (which is like, breaking a law of fannish physics right there) or what. And two of teh bigger things to hit my flist never made it there at all. It is deeply disconcerting.

You should gather minions quickly. As I have said in my ESSAY ON HOW TO BE AN BNF (available at amazon in the future, trufax!), you can't go wrong in getting minions.

[tropes.livejournal.com]

Is it...

Could it be...

Is f_w officially out of the loop??????

My god. It may even be... passé.

D:

[cottontail.livejournal.com]

I've read that essay. I remember that starting a wanky war was one of the objectives to accomplish on the road to BNFdom. I don't remember how you obtain minions though. I must read it again.

A good bulletin board and a sockpuppet are critical.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*twitch*

I feel like an era is ending.

(Seriously. The entire spn thing with the conversations and banned from their own community? OMG THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLASSIC. Instead? Nothing. So depressing.)

[tropes.livejournal.com]

(Dude there were so many insanely long and petty wanks at the Milliways Back Room back in the day, and we never made it on there, thank God. Every time we mods would make a post clarifying the FAQ or policy, five or six players would start shit. For like a year there were like four separate locked wank communities connected to the game. It got to the point that I WANTED it all to blow up so everyone could learn a damn lesson.)

*takes notes*
Sockpuppet... this would be useful in posting the initial bitchy thing I want to say and then later I give a subtle clue that I'm the sockpuppet. I see now how it works.

You've been very helpful. :)

*dies laughing*

The only really huge thing I ever participated in was pre-lj and during mailing list, though it still follows us sometimes in the form of grudge.

...I keep thinking, wistfully, what that would have been like in the era of transparency in fandom. Because wow.

(Also could not puppet to save my life. too freaking paranoid)

Re: puppeting...

>.>

Let's just say I'm no stranger. But it's well in the past.

Yeah, I feel like I've been in a lot of wanks. I definitely started some shit at Milliways a few times. I have a terrible temper when people are stupid. XD

Tell you a secret, I used to be fairly Big Shit in the CF Communities. Then, one day I committed the most heinous of sins and...and... changed my mind. I had a moment of clarity and stepped back after an episode of Le Grande Wank and went. "Huh. Wow. These people are utterly bug-shit insane. My association has by extension affected my own sanity...mayhap I should consider this little love affair with a little more clarity."

I did, and lo! I discovered that it was time to cut my losses and run for them thar hills, and ever after, I have managed to keep my ass from getting lit on fire by the flames of the butthurt. Watching this? reminds me of all the reasons I cut my losses and fled.

[ellixis.livejournal.com]

pst, if you let us know about 'em, we'll be happy to post 'em up for everyone's enjoyment!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I seriously never knew some of these communities existed before I started reading s-f.

And can I say I love the evolution of the use of butthurt? I am trying to add it to my active vocabulary as quickly as possible.
