wank

[memorizingthedigitsofpi]

I'm currently on the very outer edges of wank surrounding someone who should probably be listed with the MsScribes and Cassie Clares of fandom but somehow doesn't have much of a fanlore page at all.

Four days ago, I had no idea they existed. Now, the iceberg floats by me as I try not to get sucked underwater so that I can see the rest of the story.

One more topic to add to my never-ending list of fan studies papers I'll never actually write: Parasocial Relationships and Fandom BNFs

Instead, I think I'll just work on my own version of "AO3's Terms of Service for Dummies"

I've got an idea who you're talking about and I'm sorry that wank is drifting your way, that person seems like a hell of a lot.

Delighted to see you pop over Dreamwidth again, although sorry it's because of unfortunate circumstances! Sending hugs your way if you'd like them and happy vibes. Turning that energy into something productive like a ToS guide sounds like a great plan :)

Oh, I forgot I saw your name involved in that! I’ve just been rubbernecking on FFA, lol.

Fandom wank... we'll never grasp how people can get so... intense. 😅

I but vaguely saw the shadow of that wank passing by me, but I'm very sorry people are trying to rope you into it.

How is "the rules apply to everyone" such a difficult thing for people to grasp?

I'm not on Tumblr as much anymore but I heard about the wank through FFA, like a few people above me said, and I'm sorry you got dragged into it.
