Wait, what?
Dude, when did Danny Phantom become the most (proportionately) wank-happy fandom in existence, and where was I when this started?
Srsly, I haven't had this much desire to tempt fate and/or play Devil's Advocate since I sat down to write that Avatar/Seuss crossover.
It's not like I can look to my namesake for wisdom in this case either. I mean, come on, he compared himself to a gadfly, whose purpose it was to irritate the lazy horse of Athens into wakefulness (or somesuch). At his trial, he basically called himself the gods' gift to his city-state. If I treat him as a role model here, I may as well be brewing my own hemlock.
Someone be the voice of reason for me and tell me there's a better way than to create a throwaway DA account and just start posting non-mainstream-style DP art left and right on it, while being (as a whole) non-vocal with the whole thing. Someone convince me it's a bad idea.
Because right now, it just looks like fun.
Edit: Here, have some context. Apparently, the only reason that the small subsection of my f'list that watches both DP and follows DC/MK is free of wank is because we are COMPLETELY ISOLATED from it. I don't get it either?

watch as i completely disregard what you're actually asking for
Now, see, I totally expected this to happen somewhere.
meaning it depends on whether I follow through or not.Except by "somewhere" I meant "somehow", gg me.

DO NOT FEEL BAD, I WAS ALSO COMPLETELY CLUELESS UNTIL THEN.
Yeah. I'm in the anti-phan camp. ^^;;
So you just discovered the True-Phan/Anti-Phan wank. Yeah. Known about that for a while. ^^;; I just ignore it. Most the really scary/stupid stuff happened on Hartman's forums and DeviantArt so it's fairly easy to do so.
It was brought up on
... The thing I find slightly ironic/amusing is the fic that got me to start writing/being active in the DP fandom, Running Blind (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3049214/1/) by Dejah Thoris of Mars, which is a pseudonym for Ellen Brand (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/33577/Ellen_Brand) because she didn't want to deal with the wrath of the 'True-Phans' since it's a more mature fic.
-And yes, it's the same person who's been writing the delicious 'An Unprofessional Opinion' fics on MC1T. >D Check out Outside Looking In (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2505795/1/Outside_Looking_in) for more Cade goodness. ^________^
Gonna hafta ditto that one -_-a
I'mma hafta look through that then.
XD My reading list just got that much longer.

I already thought some part of the DP fandom was crazy for going to such great lengths to petition for the return of the series (they even did AMVs and posted to youtube to advertise, what?), and rolled my eyes whenever I searched DeviantArt and came across all these Self-Insert Halfa pics but...
Okay, I lie, I think I came across this rant on (http://community.livejournal.com/fanartrants/34566.html)
If you start posting DP fanart on DA, I think I'll join you. 8D;

G-god, some of those hurt to look at, let alone try to wrap my brain around. I've never seen most of that, but maaaan.
I was completely isolated - and indifferent - until I read that thread last night XD
XDDD Very well, then! Though I would like to reinforce the idea of a sock puppet account for 'unpopular opinions'. Also, I now need to come up with ideas for stuff to draw. I think I'll start with Delilah/Danny, and then maybe move on to Danny/Sam/Tucker OT3, with a possible side order of Danny/OtherAltGirl and/or Vlad/Danny (which is scary as all hell on more than one level, but also strangely fascinating as long as I pretend Danny is of-age).

Humm... I need to catch up on the show still, dammit. 8D;;

XD Truth be told, I do too. I did watch a few more episodes this afternoon, but I appear to be missing 1x06 for some reason o_O

I'm amused to note that DC/MK as a fandom is GAINING BNF authors from other series because it is an easy-going fandom and relatively wank-free.
Really really hoping it stays that way. ^^;; *touch wood*
Wank is amusing to read, but it can really burn someone out if it's happening to them.

*rapping on everything wooden in sight*
Amen to that -_-
