Wank and the Australian Election

re: ckll, wank, dean_sam.

So long as I get to keep my "fucking disgrace to the SPN fandom" title, it's all good because I worked ... wait, no, I didn't uhm, work hard for that title at all. I just really like it. It's SHINY.

Yay and high-fives all 'round for those that wanted Howard gone

What's the wank? I saw somebody else refer to it earlier, but it's not on fandom_wank yet!

*cries*

I am hungry.

You will always be the biggest disgrace to me. ALWAYS.

I need an icon of Dean eating. Nevermind! I had one.

There's talk all over my flist if you wanted to scroll through my friends page.

I just really like it. It's SHINY. but where's your hat? Hmmm?

Or your ICON even. I am disappointed Smidge, very disappointed.

[fiddleyoumust.livejournal.com]

This will give you a pretty accurate run down of events.

I don't like hats so much, they look silly and/or stupid on me.

Hmm, I should get an icon. *nods*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you.

[wenchpixie]

Hm, I read some of it, but I'm still totally confused. Whatever.

I've been in fandom since long before the internet, and the 'net just makes it easier for people to stir things up quickly. There's always going to be weird stuff going on in fandom, many, many times due to people's ego issues. It becomes less about the fandom itself, and more about taking sides. You get the people who go, "How DARE you say anything mean about my friend," no matter what said friend might have said originally that caused offense. Then it often becomes a popularity contest, does the instigator have more friends (or friends with louder voices) than the rest. Eventually the fandom divides, not over anything Beloved Show has done, or Revered Creator has done, or Adored Actors have done. It ends up having nothing whatsoever to do with fandom, and it's all about fans sniping at other fans. Sometimes it gets so vicious that innocent bystanders decide to leave because they don't want to get hit by any flying shrapnel (or bullshit, as the case may be). Lather, rinse, repeat.

It's a shame this kind of thing happens so often, but fans are people first and foremost, and people, as Dean has observed, are crazy. I prefer to stand back and enjoy the show, the fic, whatever other creative endeavors people come up with, contribute some of my own, and stay the hell away from the politics and the wank. I'm happier here on the banks of Denial.

P.S. The infighting is STUPID, and it always ESCALATES. Can't everyone in fandom just agree, no more arguing for the next hundred miles, or days, or months? Thanks!

See, the nice thing about this fandom is that if there is wank I tend to not know it. *blissfully oblivious*

However, you may keep your title, you Fucking Disgrace (I feel it should be capitalized as though this were fandom peerage). I'm sure we wouldn't have you any other way. ;)

[fromyourashes.livejournal.com]

smidge. That's no fair. I thought we were sharing the crown.

You suck. *g*

YOUR ICON, HOWEVER, WINS EVERYTHING THAT WAS EVER CREATED EVER IN THE TIME OF EVER.

Jub-Jub can't offer approval or disapproval; he's too busy getting leftovers licked off him by certain Sasquatch...es.

SPN wank is my favorite, because it's never actually about the show, so it's easy for me to follow. <3

[jrs1980.livejournal.com]

It's up at Chairvoyant. I think it's ready for F_W proper, but I's lazy.

A warning, though, the JF server is being particularly robust lately.
