Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 11-15 April 2011 (1901-1905)

That's not an appearance, that's a drive-by fly-by.

Just a little more histoire, for those who are relatively new;
The shit storm happened not just because of the breakup, but the breakup coincided with a repair of the signup engine on the forum, which had been broken for over a year. Not only was there an emotional arc going on, but there was literally a flood of pent-up new forumites, some who'd been lurking for ages, who had a lot to say and no practice saying it.
Until that time, all moderators on the forum pretty much ignored the comic discussion part of the forum (including Jeph, who hates to see his work dissected, as do most artists). They instead lived in the other sections, the ones about music, art and other pastimes in the lower part of the big list of topics. They got flooded with a horde of new people hitting the "report to moderator" button over insults both real and imagined, screaming about each other. The old ones stepped in with a fairly heavy hand, locking and even trashing the worst of the threads (the WCDT that week was about 40 pages of diatribes, and will never be seen again).
Several of us suggested that new, local mods should be added, taken from the ranks of the comic discussion forumites, to try and keep things civil and running in a way that would not require the interventions of the ancients (for those who think that term is trite, note that the moderators before pwhodges and IsItColdInHere all date back to the founding of the boards).
So yeah, the way things go in here is sometimes a matter of testing the waters, and the mods are really trying to feel their way through this. At times it leads to a bit of the "Oooh, don't go there!" attitude, but generally it works.
Well, it's better than it was.
And will continue to improve with age!

I honestly was not aware that people like that actually existed.

Existed? You probably know one.

Oh, wow.
You may wish to brace yourself because, frankly, Harry with Draco is merely the tip of the creepy, creepy iceberg. Pretty sure every combination of any two (or three) even vaguely prominent characters in the novels has been ficced at least once, even ones that ought to be physically impossible and/or are independently squicky in their own right (beyond being perversions of established characters).
And that's just HP fanfics.
It's virtually guaranteed that every prominent fiction will 'acquire' a tenuous cometary tail of slashficcers. regardless of genre, content, or style.

hilarious... funny.. sad.. such a great scale of emotions in one week..
When lookin at this week's comics, while some of em seem to have a bit sadder undertone (neglected Hanners is quite sad :-(, I think Raoulleferes comment on her parents was quite accurate.. a bit harsh, but accurate), the dynamic between Hanners and Marten has been quite nice to watch. They seem to bring the best out of each other.
One thing that has been totally confirmed (though it wasn't that suprising news to anyone, now was it?) is that our lil' indie protagonists berserk button seems to be messing with his friends. Mess with him, meh, he might respond (or not), but mess with his friends and there's gonna be hell to pay..
