Ew, Dana. Just... ew. Please tell me this writer isn't popular?

Oh, and what's going on in the viddingdom? There's a sudden plethora of "Elite Vidding Bitch Cabal" icons, which generally indicates a kerfuffle somewhere. Not that I'm not in favor of elite bitch cabals, but I like to be informed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Please tell me this writer isn't popular?

t shrug She's got a group of followers. Don't ask me why.

It sounds like viddingdom had a list-related meltdown, from what I gathered. Critique was said to be a mean thing to do or something.

Meanwhile, half the people on my FL appear to have stopped talking to each other over... something (thinking about it gives me whiplash), BBF just settled down, Smallville's on F-H, and, oh yeah--Fandom Wank's been deleted by its own mods. Or one of them. We're uncertain WTF is up with that.

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

Poor delicate flowers.

This is why I've decided they're all crazy people and I'm'a go on just talking to, you know, sane people I like.

Holy cow, really? Wow. That's... pretty impressive.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Ooh! My very first fanfic list did that! One day it was there, and the next... poof!

Mind you, it did turn out to be one of those, you know, many-heads-sprouting things.

Most of the time, I wouldn't have worried that a story might feature our heroine being molested by monkeys, but this time, I was worried.

I'm... having a post-traumatic flashback to that one story with Nikita and the Doberman.

Thank you shrift, now I'm having a flash to that one with Blair and the... shudder

Dobermans, however, don't much bother me. Anais Nin kind of desensitized me.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Holy cow, really? Wow. That's... pretty impressive.

Isn't that fabulous? I mean, tell me that's not completely appropriate as a way to go. (I don't suppose it'll actually go go, but still.)

Yeah, the vidding kerfuffle was list-based--Nummy Treat, apparently. Sisabet posted about it. Then there was a big argument about the politics of othering that I think branched off of the fanfic_hate thing, but none of it happened on my flist, so, you know, I'm a little unclear. And then something about academic usage of words that may or may not be racist? And then a bunch of posts were deleted?

You know how it is. *shrug*
