Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

What is even happening?

Evil twin! A "son" who is actually a bird!

SHUT UP. I had missed that update. The last bit I saw was where the "son" was a bird.

Right? I mean I have to say though, the bird thing just pales next to the Evil Twin claim. This is truly the wank that keeps on giving. Here's a direct link to the source of the "Evil Twin" intel. [link] That link has been edited onto the latest fandomwank entry, as well.

shrift, I searched the thread for "Victoria Bitter" before I posted this, because although I hadn't seen it mentioned in the past 100 posts, I thought I could have missed something. I found your original post where you mention meeting VB at a con.

eta...

Have any of our Harry Potter fic readers read this DAYD fic or come into contact with Andrew Blake/Thanfiction through the Potterverse?

What is even happening?

From my original post:

The latest is that Player is claiming that he really is Adam Player and Amy Player is his Actual Evil Twin.

Adam should read Andrew. Sorry about that. I keep thinking he was an Adam somewhere along the way and then mixing that up with Andrew. It's Andrew Blake aka Andrew Player.

Unrelated to the fandomwank brouhaha, can someone explain what "female characters getting fridged" means for me please?

It refers to female characters being killed in order to advance a male character's storyline. Usually to give him angst and stuff.

Thanks Dana. I had noticed that plot element overused way too often before, but I hadn't realized it has a handy title.

I am occasionally entertained at how often these discussions in teh blogosphere end up using a link to TVTropes.com. And I remember being one of the first tropers.

Huh.

I can't quite believe that the site is also the focus of a lot of the Victoria Bitter wank.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I always feel the same way when tvtropes comes up -- even more so when it happens in real life (my ex-boss discovered the site the other day and a half a dozen people immediately twittered "see you in a few months!" and the like) (as did I, but also thought "hey, I was there before it was even a domain!")

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I always feel kind of skeeved when it comes up.

(Hell, Sean and I, we were ADMINS in the first days! Ahahaha.)

Well, yeah, that too. Mostly, it's a "Let me splain... no, is too much. Let me sum up... no, even that is no fucking way going to fit into a tweet."
