*groan*
I just got off the phone with lowbatterie who agreed that I haven't been posting enough. This was after she was done laughing at the situation. Not that a blame her. I'm sure when I look back this will be hilarious. Right now I kind of want to put a bag over my head and cry.
Here's what happened.
For the last few months I've been practically living on fanficrants It's pretty funny what some people consider to correct biology and grammar. Anyway, it's a pretty big time community, so I've been nervous about posting and commenting. I finally worked up the courage to start commenting, and then on Nov. 5th I made my first post.
*Spoilers for Romeo x Juliet*
The post was about an Anime version of Romeo and Juliet. I fell in love with the characters and ended up praying that they got a better ending. While an episode was loading, I wanted to get an idea of how big the fandom was, so I decided to check out the summaries for the fic at ff.net. A summary gave away the ending.
I was pretty pissed. I think that spoilers shouldn't be in summaries. So I posted it as a rant. Here it is. I thought that it would be cool if I got a few comments along the lines of LULZ. But wow.
It exploded. Over 170 comments of heated debate over what constitutes a spoiler. *facepalm* People were getting really nasty toward each other so I decided to just let them have it out. I made five comments along the lines of, "My bad, calm down." and just watched the debate fizzle out. There, over.
Then, guess what I found today?
I GOT WANKED. HARD.
D8 You have to fuck up pretty bad to get on fandom_wank
Over 400 comments on that one so far. Some of which are:
"spoiled by reading the summary of a fanfic? A fanfic of something you plan on reading or watching? Avoid the damn fanfic until you're all caught up with the canon! This isn't difficult! *uses one of her "Extreme Disapproval" icons for good measure*"
"I think it bears mentioning that the anime series that Auburnmaven is complaining about having spoiled for her? Is Romeo x Juliet.
Because really, that's amazing."
...
;_;
I honestly have no idea what to say. Ouch. My face is the same shade as my hair. I think I'm just going to back away slowly and whimper in the corner.
