The tale of the C2 of Doom continues...

[misscam]

Part the First

A review here suggested she was breaking ff.net rules herself, so I peeked around and oh yes, she is

Restrictions:

Each registered user can create and manage one C2 community.

All communities are public.

C2 community is to be used to promote and showcase recommended stories only and is not be used to highlight negative aspects of entries.

Dear oh dear. Here she was making a point out of not breaking site TOS and all. Tut, tut. And oh yes, she seems to have poked about here after all:
A big thank you to "SC" and "RE" for their kind words and for telling me there is an author who was so angry I added her horrible story to my C2 that she posted a huge rant on her LiveJournal. Obviously hearing an honest negative opinion was too much for her ego. (If I had added her story to a "good stories" comm, I bet you fifty quid she wouldn't have remarked on that at all.) Also thank you to the several mature authors who contacted me and admitted that their stories were bad, or asked for advice, or simply politely disagreed with me.
There's always room for improvement, which is something certain other authors on this site also ought to keep in mind. I have deleted a few of my lesser stories and am editing the others to fix mistakes and to generally improve them.

Oooh! Insults! Trying to stir trouble by not quite naming names! Though I think she might've confused "angry" with "amused", but she got the first letter right and that ain't bad, right?

So what shall be the next step? More insults? More editing of her bio with cryptic notes? Trolling? Revelation of socks? Other motivations coming to light? Involvement of the ff.net mods? Removal of C2? Banning? Involvement of GAFF? More deletions of her own fics? Will Doctor Who fandom bend to her obviously superior knowledge of good and bad fic? Are the mysterious RE and SC real and will we ever know? Will I finally remember where I know her name from? (I see she's got EbonyBeach on her favourite list, though. She a friend of yours, ebonybeach, or just a fan?)

Accurate predictions will be rewarded. Trolling will not be.

Stayed tuned, more fun is bound to come. Granted, it's no Cassie Claire debacle, but few could match that one. (You have been reading that one, right?) The mind boggles.

Fandom is fucking funny, yo.

Aw, would you look at the poor ickle darling. *pets*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Did you bring any treats?

Guh, could a person be any more obnoxious?

Also, thanks for the link to the Cassie Claire debacle!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No one should miss that debacle - that is bound to stir a shitload of wank. HP fandom always was one for the grand wanks.

OHNOES MY EGO. IT IS CRUSHED.

Or, you know, not. My editors have told me harsher things and they weren't doing it in such wanky ways. (Well, mostly.) Journalism is a hard profession on one's ego, at least when you start out.

[dreams-of-him.livejournal.com]

I have been reading you wankness posts for a long time. They make me smile and shake my head at the way people behave when they are off their nut.

To see you as the object of wankness is just...I don't know...too funny. Good thing you've got your Obsidian Wank-Repelling Armor on :)

I don't usually comment to your wank post because, honestly, I am speechless most of the time. THIS deserves a comment!

Keep the Faith, misscam. You are a beacon in the wankness forest.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's karma, perhaps. I point to the wank long enough that it comes to me. Ah well, that's life for you, a rather wicked sense of humour.

But it is funny, yes. I'm always glad to entertain ;)

[denara.livejournal.com]

Her C2 inspired me to start my own post-Doomsday fic in the hope it may also be honored by her community. Alas, three sentences in I remembered that writing is hard... But I do now have a renewed respect for authors like you who do it so damn well!

Sad, since the plot bunny I had I kinda liked. =(

Thanks for the Cassie Claire wank link! If it wasn't 5am, and I wasn't hoping to get to sleep before the sun rises... I'd be all over that. Guess itll have to wait until this afternoon which is probably when abouts I will be waking up, lol.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

So is going on a bike the first time ;) You get a certain practice after a while. But yeah, can be tricky. And you can always inflict your bunny on others.

I'm sure the wank will be there tomorrow - and with more parts to it as well, perhaps. I know I am impatient for more.

I think I know...

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

...who "SC" and "RE" are.

This little miss is going for maximum wankage. She wants to be on f_w and be internet famous, I bet you. I think she's targeting you deliberately because you are a BNF and have a huge flist who would be willing to leap to your defence.

Anyway, bear with me. I think "SC" is sc_angel72, for starters. Not sure about "RE", but I was thinking maybe regala_electra (she had originally written R_E, but has obviously taken out the underscore since)

Now, I don't actually think either of those two had any contact with her; I think she was watching your LJ for a reaction and picked two commenters to "name". Again, for maximum wanky reaction. I think she picked them because their reactions were the most "outraged" (although, not really--but the closest in a post full amused and confused people.)

I think she's hoping someone will figure out who her "informers" are from her oh-so-complicated code, thus causing dissention in the ranks of your flist.

Either way, she's wanking her little arse off in a plaintive plea for attention. I would laugh at her, but it feels a bit unsporting.

Interested to hear opinions on my theory, though. ;)

Re: I think I know...

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Well, my one comment to this theory: Cam, want to put an IP log on some of your entries? I can pass the instructions on to you, it's not hard.

But yeah, someone looks to be trying to stir trouble. I'm just trying to work out if they have an LJ, too, under another name or not.

There seems to be a lot of that going around right now...

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Oooh, this is getting more interesting every minute. *grabs some popcorn*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Share!

[oddlyfamiliar.livejournal.com]

Is it sad that I'm actually looking forward to whatever happens next?

I feel like I should have some popcorn or something...

*wanders off in search of snacks*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Snacks are good. We need more snacks.

I can't wait myself :P

[yattara.livejournal.com]

*boggles.*

This is just too precious. Quite apart from my highly biased opinion that your fic isn't badfic ;), I never got the feeling you were angry.

Me, I'd laugh my ass off if ti ever happened to me.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I find it funny more than anything else. It's just.... Trying so very hard, the little thing. Awww.

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

Obviously hearing an honest negative opinion was too much for her ego.
Obviously being too much of an asshat is just. Seriously, when did fics become serious business? I thought most of the wankery belonged to icons and CSI?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, HP and LotR takes a large chunk of wankery too - DW obviously wants in. Wank envy, see.

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

And on it goes. How sad am I that I am kinda looking forward to where this wanky road will lead us.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

So am I :) I hope it doesn't end too soon.

I made a contribution! Go Me!

*Air Guitar*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm sure this is a proud moment of your life.

[specialagentr-c.livejournal.com]

This person needs to get laid.

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

I totally informed on you. ;-)

Next, I'm going to hire an internet lawyer and inform Cassandra Claire that you totally plagiarized her in your last fic, ZOMG.

And then, for my next trick, I will drink this glass of water while juggling socks filled with sockpuppetry.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

U TRAITOR OMG!

You'll have to do a very fine balancing act if you expect forgiveness ;)

[ladyiapetus]

She's trying too hard to make herself look like the good guy in this.

I can't wait for it to blow up in her face.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

There's been Devolpments.

[princess-spygal.livejournal.com]

How is your ego these days? :P If its any comfort to you in my opinion your fic is brilliantly written :)

Stayed tuned, more fun is bound to come.
Someone pass the popcorn...and can I have a bit of chocolate iPod? Hehe!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh, thanks. I think my ego will manage quite well, truthfully.

And have some chocolate iPod - there's been more fun!

well, since she seems to be tracking this blog...

[evilstorm.livejournal.com]

LADY, IF YOU'RE READING THIS, UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE, PRONTO.

Or, you know, just have a good screaming orgasm. Seriously, it's more fun than stirring up wank. Honestly. Would I lie to you?

*uh, yes, is bored*

Re: well, since she seems to be tracking this blog...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Boredom is so sad.

[adele-leah.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. I HAVE been reading the Cassie Claire debacle and as you say... the mind boggles.

As for this? Hee. She's just so cute!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Cute and widdle and blaming it on her sister.

[kitness.livejournal.com]

CAM!!! SHe's deleted here whole forum and blamed it on her sister! I'm serious!!!!

This is so freaking hysterical I could pee.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

What, it wasn't the nanny?

[vaskalcorp.livejournal.com]

Wait... I have a question. What's a C2?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Basically a way of collecting story links on ff.net.

[wendymr.livejournal.com]

OMG I am sooo sorry, my sister found my password and did all these horrible things with my account while I was at my friend's house this weekend! She even deleted some of my stories and left bad reviews for other people. I swear I didn't know what she was doing! I deleted the archive she made and want to apologise to everyone.

Yeah, right. If she hadn't thought of claiming a sister, do you think she'd blame the cat?

*is giggling hysterically*

[aelie-baby.livejournal.com]

Mriaow. I wouldn't put it past her.

[aelie-baby.livejournal.com]

I have only one thing to say to this... well, two actually.

1) Fandom is my anti-drug. Who needs heroin when you can watch idiots making arses of themselves for free and with no detrimental health effects (unless you can sprain your eyes rolling them too much...)?

2)

[boz4pm.livejournal.com]

Ha! So you agree with me that whole comment was likely directed at/about you? Good grief, how hysterical! Hysterical if only because it shows she CANNOT even READ, since you are about as far from 'angry' as it's possible to be. Good grief - declaring herself Queen Champion of Goodfic and she can't even suss out basic emotions at their glaringly obvious. My, are the trolls getting thicker by the month.

Pff! What a momumental prat.

*realise I don't have a 'ROFLMAO' icon, so I'm going for one that I think describes our wank-seeking trollette to a tee* :D

[juliejordan.livejournal.com]

Why is the Doctor Who fandom suddenly filled with more badfic than good and batshit crazy idiots and annoying teenybopper fans? It's sad to watch it keep spiralling out of control when it seemed like such a nice fandom when I first found it last summer.
