Questions Post #6

[lettered]

So, since it's a holiday, I'm reducing my normal fare to two questions.

1.What's one thing you really hated about fandom last year?

A fight, a wank, a post, a trend in fic, a trend in meta, a fic, a friend, a person, that time when you weren't getting your lj notices, Joyce Summers, a 'ship, the sock puppet phenomenon, anything.

Whine, bitch, moan, complain, get your hate on, sign out and be anonymous, sign out and be wanky, sign out and flame me. Because fandom is like a piñata. It's fun to bash.

2.What's one thing you really loved about fandom last year?

A rec, a meta, a breakthrough in fic writing, a fandom experience, meeting a fandom someone in rl, lj's extra userpics, joining a new fandom, seeing a movie/reading a book etc that you will fangirl/boy about, anything.

Love, gush, hug, squish, slather me with goo and lick it off, put coffee liquer on Spike's cock and make Angel lick it off. Because fandom is like a piñata. You can bash it as much as you want but there's still good stuff to be had. Stuff that's fun to suck on. Like Spike's...er. Um. See? Fandom is love.

1. Bad slash fic. With accompanying artwork. I name no names. Sweeping generalizations in the form of "essays" regarding other people's motivations for what they write. I name no names. The drift out of Jossverse fandom now that canon is closed.

2. Good slash fic. Like yours, and Germaine Pet's. The trip to NYC to see VK NAKEDOMG. The immense support from fandom when my family struggled with health and money issues. The mere existance of gorgeous, smart, funny women who read LJ.

Spike IS a Ken doll. Except he's anatomically correct, so he gets points.

I name no names.

Come to cogitate on it, you don't really need to.

Like yours, and Germaine Pet's

Thanks. And! Iirc, it was a rec of yours that led me to Angels and Insects, and started me on a S/A A/C A/C/S downward slope of love. Plus, germain_pet. Just...special. So, thanks!

The trip to NYC to see VK NAKEDOMG

I skimmed your post about Slag Heap when you posted your year in review, but somehow I missed the NAKED, OMG. Lucky you. I'm going to go reread your post and drool second hand.

The mere existance of gorgeous, smart, funny women who read LJ.

Ain't it grand? I've already admit I'm the cheesiest of cheese, so it won't hurt my image to say that every day, it surprises me.

Spike IS a Ken doll.

You're looking for wee!doll!Spike with which Angel plays to get his big massive cock off, aren't you? *waits for the manip of Angel's big massive cock wearing wee!doll!Spike's leather jacket*

I linked to the VK Slag Heap post. You should read ros_fod's posts about it for maximum squeeage though. She's his No. One Fan 4Eva OMG. And yea, we were front row, he was naked, and uh. We may call him a boy, but parts of him are all MAN I tell you. *cough*

*waits for the manip of Angel's big massive cock wearing wee!doll!Spike's leather jacket*

Alas, I'm sure it already exists somewhere.

I'm proud to have contributed to your downfall. Please fill my name in on the form, so I can redeem my points for the free porn toaster oven.

She's his No. One Fan 4Eva OMG.

Yep. Before I knew ros_fod, I knew that. It just shines through her ;o) Definitely will read.

We may call him a boy, but parts of him are all MAN I tell you.

Glad to hear he is anatomically correct as well.

Oh, definitely. You and germaine_pet deserve the biggest, porniest toaster ovens they have in stock. And I think you get a complimentary tea cozie for being one of my biggest inspirations in fic. I don't necessarily know what a tea cozie is, but I bet you want one.

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

OMG Tea Cozy! It's like you can read my soul.

VK's penis and I salute you.

I am tempted to name names (re: bad slash fic and accoompanying art), but my mom would reach down out of heaven and smack me one for unneccesary rudeness.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Except my mom is in the other room and if I typed something unnecessarily rude, she'd probably...I dunno, hear it, and I dunno, be disappointed, which would just make me so guilty.

But my dad would be cheering me on.

Sweeping generalizations in the form of "essays" regarding other people's motivations

Dude, but that insane "people write slash because Joss traumatized them" generated some very special replies...

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

It sure as shit did.

I'll have to go back. I couldn't stomach scrolling through the whole essay to get to the replies.
