#112 - A little bit of this, a little bit of that...
News from Clairvoyant Wank! Over in Stargate Atlantis fandom, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nightspring is well-hated well-known for posting a lot of short SGA fics or short updates to an on-going fic rather frequently in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mckay_sheppard. And by short, I mean less than 100 word.
The people voice their dissatisfaction! Sonightspring agrees to stop posting...posting updates to that one fic, that is. Everything else is still fair game!
But the most brilliant part of the story - and the reason why I'm posting about this - is the series of parody fics that have popped up in response to this wankery. The fics and the subsequent feedback threads mock everything about fic posting from author's notes that are longer than the story to common squee responses to overblown lit crit on the part of the author and the reviewers. I'm not anywhere near Stargate fandom, but I lol'd more than once reading through these parodies. Might not have you roffling, but it'll get you sniggling, that's for sure.

A slightly older entry that I just found in I Wank: OP discusses a wedding in which she wants to stage a mock duel between the bride's party and the groom's party, inspired by Firefly, Asian culture, and love of weird tech. Not technically wanking on the part of the OP, which is what the I Wank community is for, but I got distracted by the sheer awesomeness of the wedding plans. To hell with traditional weddings! If I ever were to get married (big "if"), I would totally do something like this, except mine would be riddled with video game references up the wazoo.
So let's see here. I could wear Peach's SSBM dress, and my groom could wear a tuxedo in red and blue with a matching cap; we'd have at it with the Master Sword on the groom's part and Zelda's Twilight Princess Sword on my part; the bride and groom figure on top of the six-tiered wedding cake would be surrounded by a minefield of tiny little sugar bombs instead of the pink sugar roses. The ceremony itself would be held in Sol Sanctum, and the reception would be held in Grand Chokmah.
GUYZ, I WANNA GET MARRIED RITE NAO.

EDIT: Also, insert obligatory lulz about Intarwebs Court: Anonymous Vs. Scientology.
