Toby Flenderson is all that is wrong with the paper industry.

There's been massive wank in Office fandom today, and people are making oblique accusations without explaining what happened, so I thought since I am unfortunately involved, I would lay out the facts here. Sorry to clog up your friends lists with this nonsense.

( Cut for extreme length )

fandom, wank

Hahaha. Siiiiiiiiiiigh.

The wistful look in that guy's eyes says it all.

Hey Annakovsky,

Thank you for posting this. I'm out of town and missed the whole thing, so I'm glad to have had the opportunity to see what started it all.

I think your evidence pretty much speaks for itself.

annakovsky January 7 2007, 04:58:09 UTC

Thanks for reading - I just really wanted to set things straight, since it happened so fast most people didn't see it, and since there was some behind the scenes.

Y'know, I read that, and I thought something was amiss when it looked suspiciously familiar to your plotline.

(Not like it would, but just in case...please don't let it deter you from plugging ahead with warning_labels, omg. I'm in love with that series.)

I had no idea it exploded into such a huge thing, but I'm glad you can deal.

annakovsky January 7 2007, 04:59:10 UTC

Well, I'm glad you noticed it too. Man. Wank - so not thrilling.

We will totally keep going with warning_labels! I'm really glad you like it.

The scene from your icon is by far my favorite Office scene ever.

annakovsky January 7 2007, 05:29:50 UTC

RIGHT? Jim's expression of "omg she's in my bedroom" and "be cool, self, BE COOL" and "and this is as close as I will ever get" and like 300 emotions at once? Oh, Krasinski, how do you do it?

Ahh, themes are universal!

Dude, I get jocked ALL OF THE TIME and...just...what do you do? It's not exactly you original concept, but people get off so hard on your interpretation. I have no advice. Other than the internet can suck and most LJ users are douchebags.

annakovsky January 7 2007, 05:11:18 UTC

Seriously, nothing changes under the sun, especially in fandom. Saaaaadness. It sucks people take your graphics - I mean, at least with fic there aren't hotlinking problems. Haha. Ha. Haaaaa.

annakovsky January 7 2007, 05:27:18 UTC

Dude, are you SERIOUS?? That is so egregious. What is wrong with people?

I'm so sorry this blew up into a big "thing".

Thanks for the opportunity to get all the facts straight. :)
