Jan. 12th, 2007 04:38 amThe other day,
khfanficrants demonstrated, in a nutshell, every reason why I love it.
As those who don't already know might guess, it's a comm to rant about KH fandom stuff. Specifically, it's a
fanficrants spinoff created when the KH rants started overtaking the comm, so we could take our toys and go play somewhere where we weren't stomping all over the other fandoms and getting in their space. XD
Now, with beginnings like that, you might expect we'd be exceptionally wanky. We're not. For a rant comm, we're actually very nice.Our maintainer is a friendly hippie chick. Coincidence?
Case in point! The other day, a rant was posted that... didn't seem to have a point, and was largely just about what pairings the poster didn't like, and why, put forth in a non-constructive way.
How this might have gone down at
fanficrants:
OP: *posts*
FFR member 1: What the hell is your POINT?
FFR member 2: *insulting macro*
FFR members 3-7: *jokes about the oncoming wank*
FFR member 8: OMG, THAT'S MY FAVORITE PAIRING! Raaaaar!
FFR member 9: YOU ARE STUPID, THIS IS NOT A RANT, THIS IS JUST BASHING
FFR member 10: You fail.
Thread: *wanks for 3 pages*
OP: *hurt and shamed!*

OP: *posts*
Comm as a whole: Um, we're not seeing a point here, and it's just a lot of unhelpful pairing bashing. Have some helpful and calm rebuttals as we all attempt to steer you gently away from the Dark Side.
OP: Holy crap, you guys are right. I'm so sorry. I'm going to back off and quietly reconsider.
Comm as a whole: Hey, no harm done!
It gives me a cuddly feeling inside. ♥
