Missed 20/06/2006, but not the wanking

[slumber]

Can I help it if I'm just so utterly curious that I wonder what delawarean's two updates last June 19 were all about? This is hardly any of my business, and of course what stays under friends-lock should remain friends-locked, but what I wouldn't give for a third-party omniscient perspective at this moment, if only so I know how everything's unfolding.

Do you honestly believe this beats Limeywank, though? I mean, hmm, the expose was quite impressively executed, no small thanks in part to charlottelenox's flair for exposition, but is the actual wank content superior to faking death for the emo kids? Or any other wank, for that matter?

I know all the meta right now is about what revelations like Sockpuppetgate (or is it Scribewank?) mean for all of us, and I could go on about what I think in all those issues, but I am primarily an observer of the second degree, and that's why I choose to meta the meta.

[Poll #752243]

If it isn't there, then it's probably because it never reached a fandom country girl like me, which means it's likely not big enough. That, or I'd forgotten it. No ticky boxes for the kiddies because I don't like them. :|

There goes two nights' distraction. Hm. I suppose I could always just play with ice cubes or something.

ETA: gmth asks what we've gained and lost in fandom and allow me to deviate a bit from the friends answer (although I HAVE gained plenty of dearly loved ones), because in light of all the wanking and drama, I realised that were it not for fandom, I'd never really, fully know what it's like to be in what Hollywood purports as a typical high school. My high school was so much tamer than this jungle. ♥♥♥

Limeywank - you mean limeybean? 'Cause, yeah, that was pretty explosive.

But I have another reason for commenting. See, Minty and I started this community called youddoitbetter, born out of our complete mutual insecurity, where you post ideas that you think other people would write better. And other people, er, write them. If they want. The point is the writers have to actually be good, because otherwise it's useless, so we decided we'd start off by inviting people we KNEW were good. And you might not believe this, but we both thought of you before anyone else. So, er, you don't have to join the community, but we'd love to have you and we're inviting you to skip the application process completely so you don't have to deal with that. Just let us know.

Oh, wow, seriously? Hee, to be honest my first thought, which was "They're kidding. Eeee.", was followed quickly by "OH NOES NOW PEOPLE WILL THINK I HAVE SOCKPUPPETS!"

Haha, irrelevant. :| But yay, I would be honoured! :*

Man, thinking of yourself as s sockpuppet is like one of those terrible "What if someone is just dreaming my life?" questions.

Eee, I'm glaaaaaad!

Eeeeeeeee Cillian! Mmmm. Sorry. :|

Ahahaha, existentialism. Gotta love it. :P

Me too! :D

Cillian is hot smex.

So if you could just give us a list of your fandoms, that would be awesome.

Mmmmyes. :D

Ooh, um. Harry Potter's the only one I've really written for. There were a few attempts at Queer as Folk but mostly it's HP, I've not branched out significantly although I suspect I'd do Good Omens and House, given proper motivation.

Great, thanks! ♥
