whoops, my rec grew an opinionated appendage.

Look what lgbtfest brought us: What A Million Girls Would Kill For, an Emily-centric The Devil Wears Prada fic by woldy! It's lovely :)

I was gone for a while. I'm back now! Just in time for huge wank in the wankiest of fandoms. I mean, wow.

Okay, first of all, WinCon is a private event, which means the organizers have every right to refuse anyone, regardless of the reason.

Second, they seem to have provided a fairly clear reason to you, o Banned One.

Third, are you seriously demanding proof that you or your actions made one person or several people feel uncomfortable? Here's all the proof you need: you have been asked not to return. If there had been no issue then, then there would be no issue now! No one would have spoken up, but someone did. That is all anyone needs to know about it, as far as I'm concerned.

Fourth, way to amplify your own wank by about 10,000%. I never would have heard about this if the person involved hadn't started posting and commenting all over the place about it.

Fifth, the lawyering claims are jaw-droppingly hilarious. Trying to salvage the reputation of your online pseudonym by relinquishing the anonymity it offers you in this case? Really? You think that's wise? Now I've really seen it all.

I mean, this is "greatest hits"-level wank. Insert popcorn gif here. Sigh.

Oooo! Thank you for the rec - I have a love for The Devil Wears Prada fic that doesn't get nurtured very often. I'm looking forth to digging in to this one. \o/

You know, I don't think that I've seen any popcorn gifs. Not that I doubt their existence, of course. The first thing I tend to think of are those animated movie intermission ads - "Let's all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat." Anyway...

What in the world is going on in SPN fandom? This is the second post on my flist that refers to epic wank and I'd love a bit of context. Danke and such. :)

A popcorn gif is kind of a silent statement of "Oh, this is gonna be good," usually used with ironic detachment in wank-filled places like ONTD comms and fandomsecrets. Just for you, my favourite one:



Names and details are pretty easy to find right now if you check out that spnpermanon meme people keep referencing. I know anonymemes aren't super healthy places, but they do tend to provide info and links to those of us who'd be lost otherwise.

Here are two of the clearest and classiest posts I've read on the subject:

Oh, I knew the reason for popcorn gifs - I just see it written as action as opposed to seeing the gifs. I also had some half-formed belief that the gifs were of TV or movie clips of people eating popcorn. *shrugs* But thank you for answering and for sharing that gif - those ears are rather mesmerizing.

I might go poke at the anonymeme, but those two posts answered my question quite well. Thank you for posting them.

I swear, I'll never understand people...

They usually are! I see a lot of Psych and Buffy ones being used, but none of them amuse me like this... gazelle thing... does :D

Oh good. I was worried I was making stuff up about the internet.

It's the combination of the ears and the sideways chewing. And if we're wanting to get vaguely meta - the chewing of cud is very much what goes on with wank. So really, this gif is pretty ideal.

The wank from that anonmeme is making SPN known as the more crazy fandom, yet again.
