I have been reading metafandom and I have been reading fandom_wank and now I want an icon that says "HP fandom: a plague on both all your houses." I can't believe someone hasn't made one of those yet.

Anyone wants me I'll be in this corner writing dragon smut. And for every major wank I shall add yet another sex scene. The sorry state of fandom is indicated by the fact that there are now three lengthy sexual encounters in a story that began life as irreproachable gen. I may take them out because they're more or less gratuitous but then again, maybe I won't.

Only posting so I can use my pissed!Goujun icon. "I hope you assholes realize you've got *all* of Heaven against you now."




And in the midst of the chaos, happily a happy birthday to the effulgent luxetumbra.

That's rather brilliant. If no one icons it first, I know what I'm doing with my lunch break. XD

Ahahhahaha! Awesome icon idea.
I make a concious effort not to get drawn into fandoms.

yanno, once i stuck a toe in HP fandom, and it was promptly bitten off. only a quick retreat saved me from a lifetime of teetering around on 3" heels on one foot and a pegleg on the other. >.>;

I miss that toe.

Do you think HP is the worst of them all- by size and (lack of) sanity?

It's definitely easier to enjoy those books/movies if you stay out of the fan politics. ^^; Although it's educational about how out there people can be.

I'm so very glad I never got into the HP fandom.

I've been thinking about both the current kerfuffle (what I've seen of it, which is fairly peripheral) and your reaction to it. My feeling is that everyone had valid points and that everyone badly overreacted and made idiots of themselves.

To me, HP fandom is like a never-ending family gathering, one of those ginormous families that have zillions of branches with ancient and inexplicable-to-outsiders rivalries and partnerships and grudges. I don't have the foggiest idea of what's going on in Harry/Hermione or Ron/Hermione or Harry/Ginny fandom, but I know they're huge. I don't even know what's going on in Harry/Draco fandom, and they're practically second cousins to my own branch. I'm just hiding with all the Snape/Harry fans under the table, and everyone else thinks we're psycho child molesters with greasy hair fetishes anyway.

But we're all still part of the same fandom, and like any family, we'll gang together and scratch out the eyes of HP naysayers.

*prays for HP wank*

Go HP Fandom, go!

And thank you for the birthday wishes! :D
