WTF Fandom... and ZOMG Fandom!!!

[hiddencait]

So yesterday was a rollercoaster fandom wise for me. Like ridiculously so, frankly.

So I babbled about The Cape the other day right? You know the one with the Aussie who ends up shirtless every other ep? Yeah him. Anyway, so I did was I always do after getting mini-obsessed with a show - I went looking for fanfiction. As I was afraid of, there's not much over at FFN, and I couldn't find ANY here on LJ thus far. Twas sad, and of the amount at ffn, most of it was only eh in quality. Then I found an author with a couple decently written fics, and they responded to my reviews and I was thinking cool - here's someone to talk up the show with.

And we did for a few PMs, until I shit you not - they started telling me how I should write reviews and then told me I should write for the fandom as long as I DIDN'T WRITE SMUT IN HER FANDOM. W...T...F. I responded and managed to politely tell her to that I would do whatever the hell I wanted in my fic, and she backtracked saying she'd try "anything except for say.. Drarry or Draco/Hermione cuz *shudder.*" 

...have I mentioned I'd written Draco/Hermione as well? *growls* So I tell her, and I'm super short and I figured that would just end the fucking coversation, but NO! She messaged me again this morning, and it's even longer then the last few... and once again she was telling me I was "wrong" about my opinon regarding reviews.

I'm not responding to this one. I'm just not. She'll continue to piss me the fuck off, and I don't need that kind of fandom drama. It just sucks, cuz it's already telling me I'm not going to enjoy the community in The Cape fandom, and that's just sad.

*shakes it off*

ANYWAY! On to the freaking awesome and made me squee like a lunatic news!  irony_rocks recced "From the Last to the First" over at het_reccers!  Dude I have NEVER had a story recced before. Never ever, and it makes me freaking happy. Just bouncing off the walls over here!!!

Ugh. People! Why must people be so...exclusionary and bitchy? One of the things I appreciate about Trek is that for the most part I don't see any of the crap I hear about in other fandoms.

Yay for being recced! It's the greatest feeling, right? One of my McCoy/Chapel fics got recced there once and I think I beamed for like a whole week. Plus I love that comm - I can always find good new stuff to read.

Stupid author is stupid! I like how thing thinks she can claim a fandom. That's preeeeettty egotistical. You'd think she'd rejoice at the idea that another author is finally going to write smut for her to read? Blah. What the fuck ever.

Congrats on the fic rec! Definitely makes an annoying fandom situation better!

And just cause I can- I shall see you soooooooon! *bounces*
