Maybe it's a locality thing.
Because when I google, the fanwank refs that match my less-used definition are Doctor Who fandom stuff.
Which was, I realise, my proto-fandom.
God, I'm old and geeky.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, you know, it could be that the Dr. Who PTB are much more... friendly with the fans, know what I mean, nudge nudge, wink wink. Cause they'll wank the fans for them...

Given that I met one of the Dr. Who PTB, yes.
Given that I was underage at the time, HELL NO.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
suela just made me go to the bad place.

Thanks for all the fish.
Can anyone remind me how I turn off the stupid curly quotes in Word?
Because they'll fuck me over when I try to post on BFA, right?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Version?
It should be in your autoformat options, no matter the version.
Format > AutoFormat > Options, clear the Smart Quotes box.

Done. Will curly quotes screw me when I post to BFA?

Curly quotes are not your friend in fic posting, I have found. Sometimes they show up as little boxes or something.

IIRC, yes.
Do a search and replace (CTRL + H) for " and ', replacing them with themselves, save out as text, and you should be golden.

Tried that, said there was nothing to replace.... I'll try again.
