Just a Quick, Fun Share · 11:59pm Sep 11th, 2014

So I'm flipping through my facebook feed while not writing (bad author!) and I stumble across this.

After I got done laughing, I decided that someone on The Onion definitely must have run across FimFic's various review groups and their standards at some point, because this article pretty much takes how they hold various styles of English they all hold sacrosanct and brings it to it's logical conclusion.

Literati gang violence? The Onion most certainly paints a dark future for all of FimFiction, doesn't it? The time to prepare is upon us. I shall arm myself with verb-grenades and noun-rifles, and stockpile my bunker with "impure" literature such as Harry Potter and The Icarus Hunt to subsist upon. When the violence erupts, I'll be sheltered behind the thick, concrete and steel walls of analogy, protected from the inkshed above me. And at last, when the various factions have destroyed themselves in futile flame wars, the dead moved on to the Valhalla's of 4Chan or r/writing, I shall emerge from my refuge with my freedom and sanity intact, to write once more and rebuild the shattered webscape.

Hope you're all having a fun afternoon! :pinkiesmile:

That was hilarious. :rainbowlaugh:

Still, I suppose it's better than Grammar Nazis.

Fortunately enough, during the last great World Wide Web War of the 90s which saw almost the entire web topple to the ground, most of the world's grammar Nazi's were wiped out along with the conflict. As the internet rebuilt from the shattered ruins of the dot-com bubble, surging forward with a newfound freedom and purpose as the ruin of the old world was repaired, the nations of the internet saw grammar nazis for what they were and solemnly agreed to forever watch for their rise lest it happen again. Small groups of them can still be found in the dark corners of the web even today, touting the superiority of their way, but the wiser generation of the world knows what they represent.

Of course, we have our own problems, but still. :raritywink:

Good lord that was a great laugh to read. And a great note to end the day on. :rainbowlaugh:
