F!S Anon Meme (the ??th!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required.
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff. If you want me to link your thread up here, drop a link in the first comment!



General:
Halloween costumes

Fandom-general:
Porn comics
F/F recs
Guilty pleasures

Fandom-specific:
Girl Meets World

Re: Hobbit movie fandom

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. I know I got distracted and wandered off into Dragon Age, but it doesn't help that even before I did, I felt like the fandom was already drifting into a stage of writing terrible stuff that misses the whole feel of Middle-Earth.

I failed to return to Elf-shipping when I returned to the fandom, and even back in the LotR hey-day I was not really a huge fan of Legolas, so the whole apparent obsession with the Mirkwood Elves is lost on me.

And AU! You know stuff like Modern!AU and coffeeshop!AU, etc fails to interest me because... why is it even Tolkien-verse if it's not in Middle Earth? Frankly in Second World fantasy fandoms a huge part of what makes the story interesting is the world and it's cultures and politics.
This is an argument that can be applied to other fandoms likes Dragon Age and maybe even Game of Thrones, though I'm not really into GoT.

I love fic that has a feeling like any moment it could pull out a long deep discussion about the Finwion family feud and it's lingering effects in Third Age Middle-Earth.
