Mudane Fandomness

I unsubbed from all but substanceandstyle, Obscurus Fics,Riddlefics and ClarkLexFic. There's just so little in the way of interesting discussion occuring on Yahoo!. I've finally given up on Snape Slash entirely and leave it dead and buried.

A few weeks ago I recieved an email regarding Respire. The sender was evidently upset by the story and informed me that I should be more careful with my warnings. For those who asked, here is my response:

Warning that it was a death story would have spoiled the plot and ruined the effect of the story. Neither Level3 nor the SSA to warn for death and I therefore my choice not to do so was well within my rights. It's terribly unfortunate that I assumed most to have enough maturity to handle the theme. In future I'll make sure to warn for the lowest common denominator. "Warning, this story may have some kind of unspecified emotional impact. Do not read if you prefer general numbness."

I've also finally waded through all the begging for sequels to this story, more of that one. I've had hundreds of these messages in the course of one year - you know the ones, three words, perhaps a hex and some punctuation. Why do people insist on begging for stories? The fuck did fandom dignity go? Oh... no wait. There's never been dignity in fandom.

It got worse, too, but I'm not posting that one. ;)

My badge of dignity was confiscated at the Fandom border patrol, sadly.

Now all I can do is bounce around and scream, "Blair is still the prettiest! *Gigglegigglegiggle*"

*Buries head in hands* I am so ashamed!

Tsk. Did you fight? I went kicking and screaming, figuring that saccrificing dignity for the sake of dignity, ridiculous enough to make some kind of fannish sense. I've managed to refrain from squeeing, but I run around calling myself schmevil... you do the math, there. :|

You should be ashamed. We all should. *stabs self*
