Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

Ones that try and share art/fic/whatever with actors/creators. Stop. STOP. STOP.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

Ooh, yeah, I'll agree with this one, too. And if they are going to insist on doing it (because some celebrities do accept that stuff/like it), they need to learn the right time and place to do so.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[nanslice]

YES THIS. I really miss when fandom was much more closed off. I mean damn.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[eleganceliberty]

Eh, I agree for the most part.

I print out my own art and get it autographed at conventions, half because it's sometimes cheaper to bring your own item (I know Michael Rooker is usually priced like that, and I figure with all the Merle action figures and Funko Pops he's given to sign, well...), and half because I think it can be a good conversation starter. XP (Though I stick with milquetoast/bland/gen stuff)

Now showing them smut art of their characters...? Yeah, that's where I draw the line.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[kaijinscendre]

Yeah, smut or sexual pics/fic is what I was thinking of.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[morieris]

Mostly agree. Depends on the art, a bust shot I'd be okay with getting, but please do not show unsuspecting people your hentai of their character.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[kaijinscendre]

Yeah, I was going more with porny stuff. Hell, even just characters making out would be a something I would consider a no go.

At least ask first if they mind seeing it before springing it on them. Some creators don't mind even the kinky stuff, and some hate it like fire burns. And there are folks at every point in between. Do a little digging, check out official fan site FAQs and try and see what your Original Content Creator's policy is on fanworks.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[kaijinscendre]

Yeah, that'd at least help. Then again, even when actors express being uncomfortable with that kind of stuff, some fans just don't care. :(

I wanna know why "being a nerd" is considered carte blanche to indulge every antisocial whim that enters peoples head's, and to blatantly ignore boundaries. If someone pulls them up on that, then they just go "but I'm a nerd" as if that absolves them of blame. I know a lot of the old school nerds could be a bit socially tone deaf, but at least most of them genuinely tried and were suitably penitent when called on it.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[dethtoll]

Occasionally you get someone like RDJ finding slash of Tony and whoever and finding it fucking hilarious, though. So... silver lining?

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[kaijinscendre]

If they hunt it down themselves, cool. I know some web personalities who do that.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[nightscale]

I'm okay with general fan art, because that's nothing innapropriate, usually just a single character or a group shot. Porny art though? Uh guys, don't do that.

Re: Peeves about nerds, geeks, and our own ilk

[kallanda_lee]

OH MY GOD THIS.

The ones who share RPF with the actors, and are stunned when the actors aren't grateful to lay down their intolerable burdens of secrecy and admit their undying love for their coworkers at last.

There's a few in my current fandom who insist an actress's new baby is the spitting image of the costar who plays her love interest. Of course, they badmouth her boyfriend and demonize his wife, too, sometimes directly to them. And people wonder why the actors involved have distanced themselves from each other. Of course, for the loony fringe, the distancing is because they don't want anyone to know of the depth of their passion for each other...

Guys, divorce is a thing. Also, not telling the whole fucking world about their private lives is a thing. I give no shits if their supposed big secret is that they're all lizard-people from Planet X wearing human-skin suits, or that the actor and actress and their respective spouses are actually a happy foursome, or the actor and actress's secret is that they're both rivals for the love of Ed the cameraman. They don't have to share their private lives with their fans.
