I just saw Tron and it was like a terrible terrible porntastic militaria movie made just for me. I'm going to go write about that on my new blog now.

Meanwhile, check out the new levels of appalling on the Sherlock fanfic community front: http://teleen-fiction.livejournal.com/176208.html

But the soundtrack is smashing.

AMAZING. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.

/seconded. I haven't even seen the movie, but I bought the soundtrack the day it released.

/seconded in turn (although I've seen the movie).

Who is not surprised by anything in this post? Me!

[rm.livejournal.com]

I was surprised the mods got as nasty as they did. That's pretty much even more a turnoff than their unwillingness to acknowledge the issue.

[ladyofthelog.livejournal.com]

This is no more or less nasty than the mods have been to me, just more openly and explicitly bigoted. So... yeah. I'm a bit bitter.

[rm.livejournal.com]

I'm still croggling about that although I knew that too.

I'm sorry to hear that someone else had to go through this type of thing with them, :(.

[ophymirage.livejournal.com]

Yep. Got into it with them about what constituted "spoilers" on a linked Stephen Moffatt interview, and was stunned that taking the discussion to PM to avoid public discussion/thread-hijacking netted an extremely angry reply and threat-to-ban. I've seen that authorial attitude consistently in the regular mod-posts, in replies to comments, and in what I'd call 'special warning' mod-posts.

If it didn't have the eyes, we'd quit posting our fic there in a heartbeat, but until someone comes up with a better community...

[teleens-journal.livejournal.com]

Speaking of the eyes, I'm thinking of organizing a boycott and have already gotten a couple of people to leave and/or not join.

So far, they have shown themselves to be bullies who side with the majority in all things.

I can understand wanting your stories to be seen by as many eyes as possible (queen of cross-posting here!), but given the level of fail and the way they treat their members, it may be time to consider if you prefer quality or quantity? Naturally, it's your decision, but given how upset you still are at how they treated you, it's something to consider to reduce your future anxiety.

I thought of staying because I wanted more recs for my community, but in the end I decided it wasn't worth it to continue supporting them when they treat their members in this fashion.

Just left, myself. No skin off my nose, for the most part - I don't watch the comm (and generally only ever dive into the weekly Make me a Monday or Sunday Recday posts in case I've missed anything), I watch the newsletter, and there's a sherlockbbc on Dreamwidth that I *am* following that seems to be a lot less high-pressure. Also, there is a lot of good Sherlock fic now on the AO3.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

It makes me want to scream!

[teleens-journal.livejournal.com]

Your icon is made of win and so captures how I've felt with this all. Damn. Day.

Trooooooooooooooooooooooon. TRON. Tron? Tron.

I said this already to Coyote, but I'll say it again. Was I the only person who wanted the white-clad battle-babes to break into "Bad Romance"? I can't have been the only one.

TRON.

Jumpin' Jeebus Criminy in the Berry Bushes!

Is this like being compelled to warn for "boykissing" in Torchwood fanfic?

Because, wow...if you either feel compelled to warn or insist on warnings for that in *either* the Torchwood or Sherlock ficverses?

Might be time to rethink your fandoms.

Sentences like the first one is this post are why I keep reading rm.

[coneyislandbaby]

I loved Tron! Especially Michael Sheen channelling his so not at all inner David Bowie.

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

I spend a lot of time kicking myself for not writing more fanfic, and then I see stuff like this.

*sigh*

What the jiggering fuck is wrong with people?
