• Huh?

    What is this place?

    I think it’s important that we all review our fandom rules now because, honestly, from where I’m sitting, a lot of you seem to be making it up as you go. Therefore, I'm going to do us all a big favor, and list off the rules, one per day, until we're all back to where we need to be. kthnxbai

  • Everyone agrees with your opinion.  Those six people that tweeted you about it are representative of the entire fandom, and now that you have an army behind you, things will actually change.  Take a moment to sit back and bask in the feeling of power.  It really is all about you.
    If it is tweeted, it must be true.  Don’t bother checking your facts first.  Gang up on the site or person who has committed the heinous crime named in the tweet.  Hurry! You’re wasting precious time!
    Whining does not sound whiny.  At all.  If someone upsets you, make sure you whine in author's notes, on Twitter, and on your blog.  If you can afford one of those planes that will write it in the sky, do that, too.  Whining impresses people, makes them see your side of things, and never annoys them.  Ever.
    The First Amendment applies to everything. Sure, the constitution says the government can’t make laws infringing on the freedom of speech, but what it means is that privately owned websites are required to let you post anything you want.  You should sue those sites.  
    Your fic is amazing because your reviewers say it is. They are NOT fourteen year olds who have stayed up past their bedtimes. They are professional book critics, and they have discovered your genius.
    Grammar and syntax are not important to the story.  If someone points out an error or suggests you get a new beta, they are clearly sent by the devil.  The only way to send them back to hell is by ranting about them to others.
    The “popular girls” are out to get you. They are not popular because people like them, but because people fear them. They even have secret meetings where they laugh at your attempts to bring them down. I know. I snuck into one.
    Tanya is a nasty, stupid skank. If you write her character any other way, you are not only breaking fandom law, but also breaking the hearts of clumsy, doe-eyed, brown-haired girls everywhere. Yes, you are a big, fat meanie.
    "Rated M for a reason” is all the warning your readers need. They understand your secret code and will immediately know what that reason is. Do not waste your words on anything except writing the story content that will send them back to therapy.
