Remember them? They were awful. Maybe I'm just a wimp, but I remember cringing at how mean most of the posts were.

Bunch of weaksauce SJWs last I saw.

Are they still around? I thought both communities were long-abandoned.

Fanficrants is still around. Fandom Wank is not.

AFAIK fandomwank has been dead for practically forever. Fanficrants is still trucking on producing its usual excrement, unfortunately.

I don't know about Fandom Wank, but I've poked into fanficrants on occasion and there's still one to two (maybe three) new posts being made every other week or so.

I wasn't a member of either community, though. I only just stumbled across them through hearing about them elsewhere within the last year or so, and occasionally have gone back and looked at some of the older posts for the hell of it. There was some entertaining stuff, but I will also agree that some of the things being mocked or complained about seemed a little much at times, too.

Agreed. I'm so embarrassed that I posted a few times on fanficrants, but when I finally realized how nasty it really was, I got the fuck out. I think I only ranted about trends rather than specific fics but I may have joined in the laughing and mocking at other's posts and that's just as bad. What a mean community. Mod was awful there, too. Kind of funny when the place went all SJW, considering the nature of the community.

I'm sure you're right, but some of them genuinely made me laugh.

Same tbh

Nah, I thought they were pretty mean too. People can get ridiculous about fandom and the right way to fanfic.

Oh man, I fucking loved fandom wank. That was my main place to go when Harry Potter fandom was big. I loved it so much.

Harry Potter fandom was crazy.

Laptopgate, the Harmoanians, Snapewives, Bartending in the Dark...

I miss the old-time fandom wank like that! It used to be really fun and ridiculous, like the Snapewives and MY HED IS PASTEDE ON YEY stuff, but now fandom wank is always about who is the worst scumbag EVAR and it's just mean-spirited and slightly frightening now :(

Boo, fandom wank was great in it's heyday. It's the only place where I think it's actually been ruined by social justice advocates. FW was mean, but in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way; and its way of calling out people by making fun of them is certainly better than Tumblr's way of doxxing.

Fanficrants was always hit-or-miss but around the time of theo's appointment as mod the SJWs started to take over and it became a circlejerk where the same three people ranted about the same three things. All its greatest moments happened in the past; check out the mod tags if you want to have a laugh.

Ditto to everything you said. I loved FandomWank back in the day, and FFRants to a lesser degree. But FandomWank slowly died, and FFRants got so toxic I went away from it. But FandomWank brought us Ms Scribe, Snapewives, the Ware-Ackles, and goth bartenders (in the dark). It was a wonderful thing in its prime!

The other place I loved to frequent was MetaFandom, where you could find all sorts of interesting fandom discussions. Sadly, I think all the discussions went underground at first, into locked posts, and then vanished with the decline of LJ.

I love that one fanficrants post about Draco Malfoy's 42-inch penis.

I still laugh about that once! IIRC it also had Ron all sad because he was "only" 32 inches.

I read fanfic rants way back in the day before the SJW invasion. I understand the desire for such a community. Even now I read descriptions for some fic and I'm like "really?" But I don't feel ranty like I used to, more amused and bemused for the most part. I think publicly making fun of fic is mean, where I used to have virtually no problem with it (remember sporking?). I'm glad that style of mockery, and mockery of fic in general has fallen out of style.

Edited 2015-09-18 00:02 (UTC)

I was never one for fanficrants, mostly because I didn't see the point in publicly making fun of a fic or author, but I kind of enjoyed fandom wank for the sheer wtf-ery that was documented there.

Yeah, they could be pretty 2edgy4me and their jokes just make me cringe now.

And I know it's fandom but there's only so much pedantic whining I can take and fanficrants has that in spades.

They pretty much had to since ranting about anything else brings the risk of people jumping on you for any perceived slight. They're some of the few people I'd be willing to call SJW if the term wasn't so watered down it's basically useless.

I miss GAFF. Much more gloriously snarky.

Oh, I remember GAFF. Fun place! No angry rants, just funny commentary. I remember they went after published works, too.

ohmygosh I always loved it when someone answered that question seriously
