Thought I'd wondered onto one of the "other" forums I visit when I saw that title...

I wish I was! It must have been before I joined. I didn't know fandom wank was THIS big. All the links and discussions. It's easy to laugh at some of the crazy ish.

Ah, now this is some goooood wank. It's supposed to be a rainy week from here on out, so I shall make myself a nice cuppa and settle in for some good reading. Because there's nothing like a good rainy day and wank!

(aside: and Jennem was totally right. That last episode wank was an utter free-for-all where the nutters that still went there were totally eating their own.)

Right now, my favorite wank is the Cassie Edwards and Smart Bitches/Trashy Books wank.

ETA: A snarky roundup of the whole thing...complete with links to the big stuff.

And Anne Rice wank never ever gets old.

I know! Believe me, I've been wanking myself over at the BioWare forum about the lack of manlove.

Hell, the game the wingnuts are bitchin' about doesn't exist except in their heads but is the one I wanted to play! *cries*

Plus, I'd be curious as to how many heads would explode if I threw it out there that my 12 year old was playing his current ME round as a lesbian.

I'm not Prima but damn, that's funny. I was trying to decide which to play next, Assassin's Creed or Mass Effect. After that, I have to play ME I hope the boobies don't warp my fagile little mind.

Thank you for the explanation.
I'm a little confused. I didn't know there was people like that. :/ :°D

*sigh* I hate to see you exposed to all of this. *pets* You're so new and shiny.

Believe me, Angel is the first, last and only fandom I've ever gotten myself into. All because of the lessons learned from all of those crazies you've just been reading about. Personally I think it's a shame that people have the time to waste on it. They should be putting that time to better use. Imagine all of the productive things they could be doing!

But in the long run, I'm glad they did. That way I can waste all of MY time reading about them in all their craziness, instead of doing more productive things with my time.

Like housework.

I can't believe I come this to late to the thread and no one's brought up msscribe, whose story was told in totality by one Charlotte Lennox, aka The Duchess of Richmond. I spent DAYS reading that one, and I must say I sighed and perhaps even misted up a little when it was over. That was such an entertaining wank. And such a batshiite crazy wanker.

Those were the days...

I was thinking about bringing up msscribe, but since you mentioned it already, I'll just be a good'ole linker and link the biography.

Click to read her story...

The things that they actually thought. Crazyness.
If you scroll down a bit more, in Buffyx's comment post, one of the crazies calls S/B and C/A fans delusional. The irony, right?

Y'all know the guy, who claimed to know someone who worked for someone at WB, who said he had supper sekkrit info that told him that SMG was going to appear on the series finale of Angel and it was going to be a surprise Buffy/Angel ending? That's what had'em so riled up. They actually thought he was telling the truth. Well, the batshit ones anyway. And during that period they were merrily wanky.

ETA: I sort of find the name Cherylforba funny, because everytime I read it, my mind automatically says cherylforBAH! And the way she acts, well...

I guess that makes sense. I just can't believe people get so worked up about it. I remember once reading on this board someone saying that Cordelia/Angel shippers couldn't be friends with with a Buffy/Angel shipper; I thought it was a joke, but I guess some people really do take such things very seriously.

It sort of reminds me of the "OC" with conflicts between people who liked Ryan and Marissa, and people who liked Ryan and Taylor.
