Wha?

Okay, HP fandom. You have some splainin' to do. Victoria Bitter? Really?

Hahaha ikr?? I guess HP just couldn't stand to have any rivals for wankiest fandom. With VB around, there's no contest.

New developments? Let me get in the tea and the chocolate digestives before plunging into this epic saga of epic wankiness...

Wait, what?

I just do not know what to make of this. Except it probably needs a panel at Infinitus.

If nothing else, he /has/ said he's trans.

Sorry. I was only at the "True Hollywood Story" bit when I made that comment.

S/he has said a LOT of things. I'm so down with transfolk, but at this point I'm not sure anyone should believe a word that comes out of this person's mouth.

http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1231688.html Yeah. I don't even know where to start with this. I'd never heard of this fanfic clearly, I'm so far out in the sticks of fandom I wouldn't have. I guess it's a het thing? Gen thing? I dunno.

Do you know who this "thanfiction" person is?

Thanks for the hints on this one. Ultimately this has demonstrated how completely out of fandom I really am. I mean, I knew I was, but...there's a BNF I've never heard of who's been in fandom for at least a couple of years, there are podcasts peopled by fandom folks I've never heard of. And a massive wank including exactly no one I know! Oi!

Is this a het fandom thing? Gen fandom?

Have you heard of this "thanfiction" person? I'm reassured that I'm not the only person who missed all this...

Nope, not a clue. I've been out in the no man's land of finishing my master's thesis and haven't been keeping tabs on fandom.

It might be time for the oldbies to come back in and stage an intervention.

Het i think, but mostly revolving around secondary characters. I find it all funny, but that might be because i never lost any money to him. I get the feeling vb likes to poach aging fandoms. Perhaps he tests the waters for conditions conducive to personality-cult formation, and then dives in when they're favorable. From an outsider perspective, Hp seems to have the right stuff, with a lot of energy as the movies end and no real focus for it; vb chose well!

Hay, email me your address if you have a chance? :D

Thanfiction wrote a gen fic about Neville during DH. I read parts of it ages ago but then sort of never got around to finishing it.

Evidently in some circles s/he went on to be a huge name fan - I've seen mention of him/her here and there but never really paid too much attention.

HP - still the wankiest fandom ever?

HP fandom needs an oldbie intervention.

It's wankiness will never die.

HAHAHA. I found out about this very recently via fake lj deaths.

God I can't even imagine. A whole panel to talk about how to avoid being scammed in fandom? Probably needed.
