SEEN ON MY F-LIST #005

Wondering, what this is about? Read.

INTERESTING STUFF:

"Internets: 95 % porn, 4 % Dark Knight, and 1% Fanboys $#@%^ over teaser trailers": The internet has turned film fans into drooling junkies, trawling the ether for ten second snippets of yet-to-be-released pictures. Interesting post about trailers, fans and money. Read more. (Source: ohnotheydidnt on LJ.)

Batman Unmasked - The Psychology Of The Dark Knight. Highly interesting documentation! Read more. Watch the program here. (Source: ohnotheydidnt on LJ.)

Everyone in fandom should know Minotaur's "sex tips for slash writers", but you should also consider reading faithfulreader's critique on Minotaur's guide. And while you're at it, also check out faithfulreader's Slasher’s Guide to Gay Sex. It's very interesting! (Source: baka_tenshi on LJ.)

CRACK/FUN STUFF

This happens when you have evil things in mind. :D (Source: ohnotheydidnt on LJ.)

Throw Bleach canon out of the window and make a good fic out of it. At least good for me, because I can laugh about rants like this one. (Source: fanficrants on LJ.)

"Oh, my kami" =/= "Oh, my god". An entertaining rant about Japanese fangirlism. (Source: fanficrants on LJ.)

There are certain things a body builder shouldn't do, and dancing surely is one of those things, see for yourself. (Source: ohnotheydidnt on LJ.)

The ballet!bodybuilder rocks in a disturbing way.

I know this faithfulreader guy from somewhere. But where?

I love the dancing body builder! I could watch him for hours!

I don't know where you know faithfulreader from. I didn't know him before.

Probably from fandom_wank. As the comm doesn't have a search function and the tags/subject lines are pretty much useless, I can't be arsed to find the post, but he was on there, and imho justified. Telling others how to write slash, with the justification of "I'm a gay male", with examples I don't find convincing, and then using that to gain more friends because you'll only post more under friendslock, is not the way to make me like you.

Telling others how to write slash

I found his guide interesting in comparison to Minotaur's. I didn't know he caused a lot of wank because he used his writings to gain friends.

Obviously people get different things out of his posts, and that's fine. But there's also a history of (often gay) males telling slash writers What Not To Do when writing fic that was never supposed to be gay porn or for an audience of gay males anyway, which is why I usually roll my eyes and avoid those people. (Mind you, I'm not talking about criticism along the lines of "I'm sorry, but peanut butter makes for really bad lube" or "Oh hey, don't you think when character A bleeds from his anus he might not enjoy the sex that much?" or even "Dude, character B never cries that much in canon". But, for example, using generalisations about What Men Are Like or What Men Would Never Do or It's Only A Good Story If You Write Straightforward About Fucking Sans Emotions... I'm not a fan of that.)
That's just my opinion, of course... others might find his advice useful and his way of writing appealing.

I can agree with what you say. Especially the part about a history of (often gay) males telling slash writers What Not To Do when writing fic that was never supposed to be gay porn or for an audience of gay males anyway" and "It's Only A Good Story If You Write Straightforward About Fucking Sans Emotions".

Those parts I didn't agree with either. But I think he has some good points in his guide as well, which you also mentioned.

I remember now. I read about him on fanficrants where he accused Vashtan of trolling his entries because Vashtan is from East-Germany and has it in for the Russians.

I like Vashtan's "Special Forces" fic where one protagonist is Russian, so faithfulreader's accusation was basically made out of thin air and wanky.

WTF?? Now, I'm appalled at what he says about East-Germans. Wtf is that, huh? That's really wank-worthy!

That's what made me read his fanficrants entry in the first place.

As Dingsi noted, this guy has a history of causing wank.

Oh, I didn't know faithfulreader, but I don't really like the way he writes. Is it just me or does he sound arrogant? Maybe I am just too sceptical.

Muahaha, the boy with the cat. Serves you right, boy!

Read the rants about Bleach and Japanese fangirlism yesterday and already lold.

The best part of you post though: The bodybuilder! What the hell is this? He moves like Austin Powers and Mini Me in Goldmember, when they both tried to disguise themselves and Mini Me had to carry Austin. Muahahaha!
