[ Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

I wish I could say I was shocked that the whole Smashed/Wrecked kerfluffle ended up on wank_report*, and that someone suggested that he lies about his past to get sympathy/more readers.

But honestly?

Let him hang. All this did was give me another reason to not sign on for his bullshit.

wow

I saw a few of his reads of harry potter thought they were "okay" and then forgot about him

so glad I didn't keep visiting his blog

He was fun back when he was still in the midst of reviewing the Twilight series (a little too preachy sometimes, but whatever. Sometimes those books required preachiness), but now...damn. The fuck?

JfC, that site sounds like a cesspool of sycophantic assholes. I've heard the thing about Mark's word and interpretation being the only thing allowed to be 'discussed,' but when his interpretation (especially of the scene in 'Smashed') is so obviously wrong in many cases, I can't imagine how he found enough trogs agree that his word the only word. Sure, your opinion is your opinion, but an opinion can be wrong and should be allowed to be countered.

mild cult like behavior, as you see in many internet and irl circles

people starved for recognition, a sense of belonging, etc. will latch on to strange things and people
