Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So I went to Anime Expo, visited the Gaia booth, hung out with some very special people you all know who you are, got a free item from the Wheel of Gaia (and saved 7k on the item I got off it), some free gold, and lots of free stuff from our favorite IRL coordinator DJHelsing, who is pettably adorable.

I was having so much fun with LunarNinja13 and dreamsk, the two I went to the con with, I almost forgot all about WAAS. Almost.

I'm making a thread for WAAS in the forums. I want to remind all of you about the policy.

WAAS STAFF
Shiranui_Genkigami: Writer, story collector, overlord

Shiranui_Genkigami is the only one who works on WAAS. So if anyone else says they do and asks you for items or gold to fund it, tell them to die in a fire.

WAAS (WORST AVATAR ARENA STORIES) POLICIES

1. Stories will be posted AFTER the current competition is over. That way the entries cannot be tracked.

2. I do not condone harassment. So if someone comes after you after your story is featured I didn't tell them to go do anything. The user targeting you is responsible for their own stupidity.

3. Speaking of harassment, if a user complains about being harassed after being featured, I'll turn around and mock the person doing the harassing so you look like a moron.

FAQ

Q: What is WAAS?
A: Worst Avatar Arena Stories (Or WAAS for short) is a weekly feature on Shiranui's Wan Wan. I pick God awful descriptions (and by "descriptions" I mean "long convoluted stories about abused schoolgirls and vampires" wink and mock them. Refer to the earlier WAAS entries for a better idea.

Q: What gave you the idea for WAAS?
A: I was reading some of the descriptions and going "God damn these suck. If only there was someone willing to stomp some balls and get s**t done about it..." Viola.

Q: What usually ends up on WAAS?
A: Usually stupid bullshit about being abused, parents dying, having no friends, blah blah blah. Basically anything out of a Mary-Sue fic because I hate those with the fire of a million suns.

Q: b mai frend?
A: If you cannot type in recognizable English, no.

Q: OMG I SAW YOU AT A CON.
A: Okay...? I see lots of people at cons, you'll have to jog my memory, I can't remember most things. Hell I don't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning.

Q: Feature me!
A: Features on WAAS is the Gaia equivalent of surprise buttsex. You don't expect it and every time it's referenced you laugh nervously, take a sip of something to buy some time, and change the subject. So no, I don't do WAAS on request.

Q: Can I help?
A: Yes and no. You can send me entries you think are bad, but no you can't be on permanent staff here.

Q: Someone asked me for items/Gold to fund WAAS. Was it you?
A: Why the hell would I need Gold or items to fund WAAS? It's free. You click a link and you're there. I don't pay any Gold to get to the arenas, to find a shitty entry, or to post the shitty entry and mock it, you don't owe me anything.

Q: Well if you don't want items or Gold, is there anything I can do to help WAAS?
A: Link to it, promote it, paint my name on your neighbor's cat (but I don't recommend it), just get the word out about WAAS. Together, we can make this final sentence super corny.

That's about it. Enjoy!
