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...

Re: Fandom Wank/Fanficrants

[nanslice]

Yes, it was so much fun. What a terrible, fantastic fandom. I miss it.

Bartending in the Dark? Dare I ask? This is one I haven't heard of.

DA

It's too bad the FW wiki is long gone because I can't do justice to how funny it was, but as I remember it:

Back in the hayday, hogwarts-elite was THE lj community for house sorting. You posted your application and members sorted you based on the answers. I've heard it's a lot more laid-back nowadays but back then? Serious Business! ahoy Any bias towards any of the houses got you Squibbed - that is, not sorted and booted from applying again - quickly and painlessly.

Back then people were very picky about any perceived bias, but for this guy it wasn't really needed. I can't remember how obvious it was in his application - I think some sorted him as Hufflepuff at first? But either way the guy got super pissed and ranted about how Slytherin was obviously the best place for him.

Said rant included how he sometimes was so dark he scared his girlfriend and was SO goth that he worked at a goth club.

Bartending.

In the dark.

This line took off like wildfire and saw some use even outside of the HP fandom for anyone who took their goth image too seriously. It probably fell out of use because the goth style isn't as big a deal nowadays.

... as a goth myself, after reading that I literally put my head in my hands. FFS.

I see other goths around but most of them are around my age -- late 20s, early 30s. (I'm 30.) Any of us that were That Serious when we were teens and are still goths grew the fuck out of it. Dear gods. Even me at 17 would have been rolling my eyes so hard.

what is the young un equivalents do u know? i assume the need to be "dark" is still there.

i'm an older former goth, still wear a lot of black as my base colour, attracted to strega fashion and black metal these days.

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 :(

Re: Fandom Wank/Fanficrants

[nanslice]

Huh, I was on right before journalfen died and I didn't really notice anything more mean-spirited than usual. Granted, it was also pretty dead and I didn't have the patience to check anything out but. :\a

Re: Fandom Wank/Fanficrants

[leikomgwtfbbq]

I mean nowadays, on Tumblr and such. Fandom wank always seems to be "WELL THIS PERSON IS A COMPLETE DEGENERATE SCUMBAG HERE IS FIVE YEARS' WORTH OF PROOF I HAVE COLLECTED AND ARRANGED FOR YOUR PERUSAL (AND SOME STUFF I MIGHT HAVE JUST MADE UP OR HEARD RUMORS ABOUT), SHUN THEM" nowadays.

I miss really silly stuff being taken way too seriously or just getting plain old bizarre. Like the Snapewives or BARTENDING IN THE DARK and such.

Re: Fandom Wank/Fanficrants

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. The worst is that now with both journalfen.net and the wiki gone, we can't even re-read those wanks.

Re: Fandom Wank/Fanficrants

I think a big difference is that FW had the strict policy against featuring anyone under 18. Kids or teenagers doing something silly? Eh. A 40-year old all up in arms about a kid winning a Harry Potter cosplay contest during a book relase? Priceless!
