I love seeing wanky rumours shot down.

Context: One of the results of the original GitF-wank was this batshit rumour that all the GitF used for Moffat bashing. Namely, that Moffat had called the people who disliked it "emotional retards". Or something on those lines. And this got repeated over and over. And over.

And now it comes out that no-one can find an actual source for it. Certainly not the OG (since about the time the wank went down I was involved in certain "experiments", and been reading his posts quite avidly, I knew this, but many TWoPers aren't members), and it's not something that would ever make print media.

But, it sort of amuses me that for months the TWoPers have been bitching about something that never happened. And am vaguely annoyed on Moffat's behalf, too. Getting hated on for a lie.

Still, it's funny how rumours like this can spread in fannish locations. Rather like spoiler speculation...

Huh. There's yet another Reinette bashing fic up.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have the urge to write a fic in which Rose is the evil one, and Reinette is the saintly victim, just to see how the batshit fanbrats would react?

However, if one wants some more amusing badfic, I'd check this out. Not only does it contain the least subtle moralising ever, but it has the Doctor being a graffiti artist, spray painting a satellite dish with the words "Heaven is a half-pipe." In Gallifreyan.

Christ, the bashing fics... are breeding.

Bashing!fics: Like Dementors, in a way.

Um, I started writing up some seriously cracked out Doctor Who meta-type stuff (I blame Nos for the idea behind it) but, um, I got bored and stopped. Maybe I'll try again after Army of Ghosts shows?

But it was seriously cracked meta, yo. I was looking up Bible quotes and everything.

On the subject of meta, I have come across someone who read my POV meta and managed to completely miss one of the points I was going for with it, which was that S2 has shown a POV shift away from Rose, and that seeing GitF from her POV? Not what the writers were aiming for. Getting your ickle feelings hurt because you over-identify with a character is your own damn fault.

Also, I have successfully managed to squick myself out terribly when reading a Nine/Rose fic. I can never read Nine/Rose ever again.

I HATE MY BRAIN!

Someone entertain me, plz. *looks pitiful*

Stupid slow downloads! *shakes fist*

Come on, I can see there is wank about the new ep already, I want to see the damn thing so I know what they are all wanking about already. And the quickest one I could find is only at 10%, and will be over another hour away.

*sighs*

To kill time: Doctor Who hits fandom_wank. Again. And yes, that was me who reported it.

It's a prequel to Wank de Pompadour, you see...

ETA (11:42am): Episode at 74%, with 25 minutes remaining. Wank seems a success - several people have been convinced to watch the show. I am currently pointing in the direction of certain comms, and advising on episodes.
