3 STUPIDS

Macro war- Linkin Park vs RUBBER GLUE MAN Bad fanfic makes me wanna rape. BABY FACTORIES! And the daily fail.

You got guts, I'll give you that.

Dear plagiarist , While I reported you for stealing my fic (along with half a dozen other people's fics), I made no attempt to contact you because I'd really rather not have anything to do with someone who stole something I wrote. And because I'd rather not get in the way of the good people over at stop_plagiarism who were handling my case. No sense in making the issue more complicated...

And this goes practically uncontested for almost a day? You've got to be kidding, dear FFR. I'll accept that abortion is bad the day all the baby factories out there stop opening their fucking legs. //Pun very intended.

Dear fanficrants mods, Maybe you've been busy playing WoW . Or you're trying to discourage wank. Or you're just plain bored . But I miss the mod tags :( (They don't always have to be negative!) Sadly, Rose Cat

Namecalling in Fanficrants

... concrit them or something, I could see your point but, in the majority of cases it's just: "Look! A fanbrat wrote about a twelve foot penis! Aren't they dumb?

Original caps of the drama from house_wilson are here . Caps of the shitstorm in fanficrants are here and here . She started name-calling in some of the comments. Awesome. ETA: Borked HTML fixed.

Have ficcers read Gender Theory? And their moms are feminists! Transwank. That's a bit serious, for me. Yes, yes, LOLZ, fanfic. . More transwank If this keeps up, I'll have to write about Akito in a naked apron, and no one wants to think about that!

..., n.: the weird, interesting, and/or fun stuff I find via my ever-behindness in my LJ flist, from Twitter, emails, going back through friends' LJs, and elsewhere. From metaquotes , a fanficrants member quips about pansexuality and assumptions about it : "as soon as I say, "Well, gender's not really a factor," I'm apparently up for having sex with my toaster. I do not ...

... "glow" - the correct word for that is "glowed". Now I do not profess to being an expert of grammar, but I know enough to know these and suspect there are plenty of other mistakes of a similar nature that regularly happen. I beg the fanfic world to try to remember these examples and heed any similar cases - or find a beta reader who understands them. Cross-posted to fanficrants .

Meta: Beta Resources List

I made a Writing and Fandom Resources post on idolmeta a while back, and at that point I promised a beta version. So here it is! A (kind of small) list of how-tos on beta reading and being beta read.
