wank wank wank and a contest

Just curious... can anyone tell me how something can be FANDOM wank, if it's my original work? Or am I seriously misunderstanding what the word fandom implies? "In Shadowside" is my original novel. It's not some bit of fanfiction. I created that world from scratch. Wouldn't you be upset if you had created something and someone else was listed as doing so? Even if it was only in an attempt to do (steal) something else?

Damn, if I bother people that much, no one's making them read here. Sh*t. It's not like I'm propping eyelids open with toothpicks and strapping people to their computer chairs so I can force the words of my livejournal into their brains. You seriously DO NOT have to read my livejournal if you don't wanna. For real. I can tell ya for damn sure I don't go reading at the LJs of folks who tick me off. If I annoy you so bad, defriend me. Don't click on the link. Resist the urge to fall victim to my wanking! I only have friended the LJs I read. That's why I rarely lock posts. I'm not going to be upset if you remove me from your flist because you think I'm a whining bitch. Perhaps at times I am. I have never claimed perfection. I can deal with it. The question is... if YOU can't deal with it, why do you try?

eta: CHALLENGE! Goddess, I have offically be accused of the wank. This tremendous occasion calls for an icon. The person who provides me with the 'wank' icon I like best gets a fic consisting of at least 5000 words with the pairing or lead character of their choice... provided it's something I *CAN* write. Anyhow... if you're the winner, we'll hash it out over emails. Be creative. Be ironic. And "Resist the urge to fall victim to my wanking!" is an excellent quote if you need a starting point.

So... ready... set... show me the wank!

Is it just me, or is it a bit screwed up to mislabel something when you think the net's all about communication (yes, yay me, I looked at the userinfo. doodah, doodah.)

Meanwhile, there hasn't been wank, has there? Wank = lots of people spouting high-and-mighty opinions and/or screeching invective and/or getting worked up over something idiotic?

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

See, I was thinking that. How could it be fandom wank? Wouldn't it be original wank? And now I'm wanking about my wanking. I'm such a wanker. Wank if you love Harry Potter. LOL. I'm all bumper sticker-y tonight. I wank for Draco.

I don't know if there's been wank or not. Furthermore... who gives a sh*t? I just want to be allowed to bitch. I don't think I'm wrong in believing that I should be allowed to bitch about any old sh*t I wanna in my livejournal, wanky or not, but you know what they say... One man's trash (wank) is another man's treasure (rant).

Thank you though. Good to know the dictionary that exists in my mind is still full correct information.

Who doesn't wank for Draco? ;)

If this person thinks it's idiodic for you to get worked up over someone stealing your story (in any form) they obviously aren't a writer of original thoughts. Just my opinion. It just doesn't seem like someone who genuinely writes their own stuff would think this way. But who knows.

Not that those people who write in fandom have any less of a complaint. When someone tried to lift "Drop" I was so on the minion list at that party. I still have my flying monkey suit with that chicks blood all over it. :D I hang it on my wall next to a shelf that will contain my personal autographed copy of In Shadowside (--all I want for Christmas is Liz's sig...lol).

Anyway...I don't understand this persons mindframe, but I don't have to. I agree that journals are for spouting off when you want to and no one has to read them if they don't want. Of course, I'm semi-addicted to your spouting off, as I rush to read it...lol.

*snicker* Giles is so perfect for any manner of "wank". *brow furrows* Now why does that sound naughty?

Re: Wank Icon

[camperx.livejournal.com]

*chuckle*

Because of the real definition of wank, maybe?

Re: Wank Icon

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. *smirk*

and since I'm in a giles-ish mood, here's another:

I have officially taken this one... with credit of course.

Wank Icon

[brendanm720.livejournal.com]

How does this one strike you?

Re: Wank Icon

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

Some things shouldn't be allowed to be together because of the naughty imagery involved. Like Spike and the word wank. LOL.

Re: Wank Icon

[brendanm720.livejournal.com]

Hey, now...

That is entirely between you and Spike.

;-)

Re: Wank Icon

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

Actually in a semi-perfect world, there'd be nothing between myself and Spike.

This might be a TMI, but it had me laughing my ass off.

TMI, Echo.

TMI.

Hey the link doen't work. Do you think we scared her? :Inocent look:

The person locked the post. But I'm on their flist, so I can still read it. This was added to the post...

Just to clarify: What's Wank about that entry isn't the entry itself, but the 5 dozen comments by self-named "Minions" vowing vengeance on echo's behalf. Also see the comments below.

To which I felt the need to reply with...

That would have been nice to know... so you know, I wouldn't think I was getting grief for bitching in my own journal. Actually, if you go back a look more closely, most of the commentors were just expressing horror at the situation... not vowing action. Only a few of them did that. But that's neither here nor there. No one made you read it. Also, if we're still gonna call it wank, can we specify that it's original wank, not fandom. Can I wank about my own wank? Is that allowed?

[tsorriana.livejournal.com]

wow. Wait, sorry that wasn't right.....OHHHHHH. WOOOOOW. There that's better. But then If you lock a post, I guess she's not "about conmunication" is she. :shakes head: sigh.

Well I'm a bad girl. Slap my hand. I didn't even vow vengeance on any one. :hangs a lip: I guess I should get back to work and mind my own business. :perks up: Hey! There is some FDA auditors coming...:points at slightly disturbed men in suits: I'll go pick at them. Maybe I can make one of them cry over 21 CFR part 11 regs. That will be fun.


I think someone gave me real sugar chocolates....

By the way, that would be "he". And the friendslocking thing (which was deliberate in that it did include echo -- I didn't want to hide *too* far away) was mainly a response to the third comment there, which seemed to be threats from a creepy woman who thinks she is a vampire or some such thing. That kinda freaked me out.

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

Vampire woman? Whaaaa? Ok, I'm sorry if no one else finds this as amusing as I do. This is just getting WAY too entertaining for me.

*goes to look at creepy woman post*

[corruptedjasper.livejournal.com]

Like you've pointed out, this *is* your journal. You should feel free to do whatever entertains you (and hell, it entertains me too, frankly). I may be wrong about the vampire woman thing, from a quick look at her journal she appears to be a college student (there's a 'dorms' reference) who doesn't post all that often, but it was all I could associate to being repeatedly called "kinder", as a noun. Some asinine word (via German kinder, children) like "chylde" or whatever[1].


[1] Incidentally, that's probably just me, but I always get the heebie-jeebies when I see that sort of thing. In a lesser way I get the same heebiejeebies from 'womyn' (YOU EVIL CHAUVINIST PIG!). At least 'sire' is a gen-u-wine English word that's just used in an unconventional way, instead of being spelled weird as well.

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

Actually that journal isn't maintained by only one person. I'll let them correct you on their vampire status if they so choose.

So as you're doing 14 fics for V-day, I did 14 icons. *facepalms* And YES, they are all wank icons. Let me know if you want me to email them to you or post them on my photobucket page.

[spankerella.livejournal.com]

Whatever is easiest for you. 14? Damn. And I'm finishing mini 14 right now. Should be posted ina bit.

[dream-mancer.livejournal.com]

13 are done and my 14th one is being finished. I can email then I'll load them up for my benefit.

[rosefyre.livejournal.com]

Here's one:



Enjoy!

I hope I wasn't too late for this. I e-mailed my entry icon to you this past weekend. Did you get it?
