Round 85, Hour 17

[xandromedovna]

One of my favourite things about academia is how surprisingly petty it is. Like, my Master's thesis was 150 pages of me bitching about the lack of trans inclusion in classical music. I love when articles are very clearly putting someone on blast but like with pages of sources it gives me life.

Anyway, I've decided my new project is to relearn how to be a Wikipedia editor so I can be petty and fix LGBT-related articles. What are y'all up to?

I want to finish my wincest rbb and maybe a few random fills off of tables|bingo cards when I need a break from it.

As well as my normal day to day housework and chores. :)

Good luck with figuring out Wikipedia.

I love how relevant your pic is to your plight

Thanks. I never could be a single fandom person. Unicorns are love <3

I had a go at Wikipedia for a while, but I couldn't deal with the pettiness -- even minor edit wars turned me off. Now I just sneak in and quietly fix typos and grammar, etc., without bothering to log in.

[xandromedovna]

yeah that's usually my strategy, just typos and formatting errors, apparently Wiki editing has gotten super rarified since the last time I ran around there

Academia is the pettiest! Also nothing like it for the sheer level of passive aggressiveness...

I only wrote 326 words, but they were the last 326 words of a fic that I've been stuck on since...actually since the last rush! That and a bit of editing of said fic. Now I can post the darn thing! *dances joyfully*

Wonderful! *throws glowsticks like confetti* *dodges raining glowsticks*

[glinda]

*ducks the shower of glowsticks* Thank you! :D

[lolmac]

YAYYY

Oh man, I used to write anime and manga articles for Wikipedia but I couldn't deal with the pettiness. Godspeed to you.

I finished writing up those news stories. I just put my head down and barrelled through. Sometimes that way is best.

Now I'm gonna take an anime break. Be back in an hour or two!

Many thanks, may Neptune have mercy on my soul.

Happy viewing!
