Talk:PETJA

Should be renamed to PETJA. --Kyuuketsukirui 14:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree. My bad.Sherrold 18:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

\o/ Theoret to the rescue! Now I can strike 'research PETJA article' off my to-do list ;D It only needs a few more links or quotes. --lian 01:34, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I was a member of capslock_spn when PETJA was first conceived, so I have some familiarity with it beyond just the wank (I also have some deeply biased views on how the situation went down, but I tried not to let that show in the article *g*). Tracking down quotes from anywhere other than the fandom_wank entry might be difficult though, as a lot of PETJA-related information is now deleted or flocked. --Theoret 02:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

oh, yes, sure. I just remember reading the 'skeptical' vs. 'solidarity' posts, so one could link to those, I don't know. I'd love to hear your deeply biased views -- as long as you don't frame them as Teh Truth, that's a-ok! --lian 03:19, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I would love to see screen shots, frankly.--Sherrold 03:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

My biased views pretty much just boil down to me being very firmly in the 'there was a C&D letter' camp, despite not being privvy to any of the details. The founder of the website only discussed the details with a handful of people, but I have some of those people on my flist, and based on how they handled the situation... well. I am familiar with how those people behave when capslock_spn is orchestrating dumb pranks, and, personally, I am 100% certain this was not a case of that happening. There was also quite a bit of less prominent fallout after the wank, featuring several people whose squee was very, very harshed by the incident, and I believe the atmosphere would have been completely different if it was a case of 'fandom successfully duped' rather than 'my methods of fangirling have just been condemned by the object of my squee'. I can definitely see why a lot of people are skeptical, but I do tend to think that's because their knowledge of PETJA is limited to just how it ended. --Theoret 04:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I think it would be fantastic to have this on the page, as a part of a -- I don't know, solidarity vs skepticism, or controvery, section, or how would you call it? And someone else from the other side of the argument could then fill in their POV. I believe the result would be much more rewarding than trying to steer clear of subjectivity and making it wishy-washy and less insightful in the process. What do you think? --lian 18:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
