I can and will NEVER understand Fandom Wank Really I can't.
I've tried to sit here, occasionally and once in a blue moon, to try and grasp and see the point of it, I've tried reading a few entries and just go shake my head.
That place is "wankier" than the shit they are complaining about.. moreover... WHO FUCKING CARES?
Leave idiots alone, ignore them you don't have to listen... really. It's like picking a scab, why do you do it if it hurts?
Yes, there are sucky fics out there, remember the first few fics YOU WROTE? Guess what THEY SUCKED TOO! (I know mine certainly did and still DO! But you know what, I ENJOY MYSELF! That's the whole POINT)
Give new writers a fucking break already, let them enjoy their Mary Sues on ice, and go find yourself a bloody slash fic fuck fest-o-rama you like by an author you like.
I'll not get into the real peoplestalkers fans calling themselves fans, people Orlando Bloom will not suddenly notice your tirades on his new girlfriend and leave and find John Rhys-Davies to shag because he reads it and gasps "HEY I AM GAY! supernekoprincessarwyn is RIGHT!!!! HERE GIMLI HERE ARAGORN!!!!"

I remember why I never visit that place it's full of the BITCHY crazy crowd.

Damn.
YOu can keep the Holier than Thou witch hunts thank you VERY much.
Yes, so you don't like it?
There are a million others who DO.
Leave them alone and whine in private, it hurts far less feelings that way.
What gets me is the LINKS to crap, INVITING people to go lynch mob an innocent person who *WAS* only whining in their own private space...
It's like people purposefully seek out other people to torment, and it escapes me, it really truly does.
I thought the Marquis de Sade was DEAD

Original response:
I've been limiting myself to just fic-only communities. I steer clear of those that encourage ridicule, rants, etc. Sure, I understand the need to let off steam, but you've got your personal journals for that. I don't see a reason why people would gather, en masse, around a campfire to spit collectively at a given fan(s). It only perpetuates bad blood between people and not to mention legitimizes intolerance toward individual quirks, which, the last time I checked, we have a right to. Certain fans/fannish behavior might annoy us to kingdom come, but who's to say that we're any better than they are?
^_^
...and boy, did that sound a lot more bitter than I meant it to. ^^;;
The Hilton Sisters of Fandom
Hope my icons didn't start this, I didn't make them as a support for all those wankers, more as a joke/statement about how I'd like to make them go away; that kerfluffle caused by the fic had blue, windsor and I really rolling our eyes. I don't like what F_W does, either, they're just downright *mean*.
On the other hand - we would miss so much fun in boring classes. ^_~ There's a certain entertainment in reading out loud the flames you get. Friend of mine and me made kind of a sport out of it. 'Who get's the best flames'
Sadly, she's leading in points right now. Somebody complained, how she could dare, to draw Youjis eyes in light green ... @_@
Off to classes, enjoying my life ^_^
But if it's ranting about someone's fic -- I generally skim through the main post and then leave, if I even bother getting that far. I think there's too much negativity in the world already. There's no need to add to it with all the criticism/nitpicking/whatever expressed in the threads. (Which is why I don't visit that Ficbitches place either. ::wrinkles nose::)
Thinking about it, it's a wonder new writers grow and thrive and work their way out of the Mary Sue phase (because it might be a necessary part of growth for some writers, at least), the way we have all these armchair critics intoning their almighty opinions.
Instead, I just say this.
Yes. Fandom_Wank is the only community to ever perpetuate ripping, hatred, wank and whine in a community setting.
Once... just once... I'd like to go through a week without being reminded of fandom politics and that people are free to post stuff without being bludgeoned or burned in effigy by others. But I might as well just hope for a million-dollar inheritance.
I've been able to hold my opinions back till now in an effort to keep my journal as stress-free as I could (there's enough crap I have to put up with in RL... when I hang out with friends online, I hope for a sanctuary).
This would be the last time I'll do it.
I can think of several more worthy things to heap my ire upon IRL than to totally thrash a fic writer or single individual period for that matter in such an open forum where unless the person being ripped to shreds is present they have no hope in hell of defending themselves or offering a PRO to the CON
I've never heard of nor read the F_W person, but I can pity and empathise (being in the same position she is in before myself) the HUMAN BEING who's being ridiculed.
THat was my point.
It apparently was missed entirely here. Fandom Wank was the single example of far too many places like it and used as said example because of it's over exposure on lj f-lists I happen to see on occasion.
Chill pills anyone? Last I looked I wasn't thrashing anyone here or intending too.
It was just my own single opinion on too much bad karma.
I don't need a chill pill, I was just pointing out that no matter how bad fandom_wank is, and it can be pretty bad I've never denied it, there are far more places out there that are much much worse. That was all. And since you can be quite passionate in your LJ at times...nevermind.
^_^
sorry, lost in translation.
