Akin to writer's block except that writer' wank is the opposite problem: an overabundance of inspiration. The term wank in this context describes when a fiction writer uses their narrative to promote their own beliefs, even when it is inappropriate and well outside the scope of the story. The implication behind the term is that the author is merely committing self-gratification without regard as to how it will affect the plot.
Some genres of fiction that are especially susceptible to this are science fiction, romance, and alternate history. While all writers are encouraged to imbue their work with a strong underlying message, projects that fall victim to a wank attack are notorious for yielding one-dimensional, cliched, and heavily biased material that readers with differing opinions will have difficulty enjoying.

Hey, check out this New York Times Bestseller. It's about how socialism saves Europe from brink of World War II and then successfully defeats those mouth-breathing Yanks when they come looking for oil. Neat-o! Although I think $6.99 is a little pricey to let some frustrated socilogy professor writer's wank all over me.

Get the wank mug.
Get the wankasaurus mug.The Drive-By-Wank (DBW) was first seen in Shoreditch in 2002 and has slowly been gaining a reputation as the ultimate dare!!
The DBW is notoriously difficult to pull off due to many variables but in essence one is required to find a woman with a low-cut top on or a backless top, either way exposing a good amount of flesh.
The DBW'er is required to get himself ready by fiddling with himself so he's just on the brink of shooting his load (extremely difficult to even get to this stage in a crowded bar without getting arrested!). He then blatently runs past her wanking madly and shooting his flith paste all over her exposed flesh and then legging it before he gets lynched!!

Get the Drive-By-Wank mug.To wank, or be wanked, in a particularly aggressive or over-enthusiastic manner. Usually involves an element of discomfort on the part of the person whose penis is being so manipulated.
Origins disputed, though commonly thought to stem from the mastubatory practices of Slovakian men, who, too used to driving tractors with rusty or stiff gear sticks, would manipulate their penises in a similarly vigorous fashion.
The style then spread to the gay community, where the virile masculinity of the Slovakian form worker was fetishised by the new intelligentsia and middle-classes. They therefore adopted the wanking style as a way of being more "masculine".
Nowadays if you are being wanked in such a fashion it is unlikely that the man wanking you is a genuine Slovakian tractor driver.
