11. I agree with your overall sentiments about fat-bashing in fandom, but.... is it okay if I make a snide remark about the costume sucking for other reasons? Seriously, if that's supposed to be James, they have the outfit wrong and the hair looks terrible. If they're supposed to be Jesse, the hair still looks terrible and it's not even close to the right color. The person in the picture could have the body of a supermodel and I'd still call this a cosplay disaster.
17. I'm sorry about the potential future death of a character you like, and I'm hoping he doesn't die either... but as someone who's only seen a handful of episodes, my main reaction is to completely and utterly crack up every time I get to the "Adventures in Liverland" line. Thanks anon, you made my day.
23. That's.. oddly adorable.
31. I actually LIKED Rose and I think that the gratuitous romance in S2 did nothing good for the Doctor's characterization. (Or Rose's, for that matter.) Here's hoping that S4 will manage to give some kind of closure so that everyone (in canon and fandom alike) can let go and move on.
33. From what I know, it's easier to break into the field as an author than a screenwriter. Besides, if your novel is popular enough, you can always sell the rights to a screenplay later.
36. Aggghhhh. The objectification and infantilization dripping from the kink meme request are making me so angry I could punch kittens. And the fact that you find the whole thing humorous is not really helping, anon. Sometimes I just really wish fandom as a whole would react to people with hinky ableism issues with even a fraction of the intensity that we tend to for people with hinky racism issues.
47. Not as funny as 17's Liverland, but this still made me smile.
48. There are plenty of asexual fans out there, and plenty of non-asexual fans who like gen fic. And at least some of us feel the same way you do. You may not get as many readers as those who are in it purely for the porn, but people who are reading for actual quality will read it whether there's sex or not. Fandom needs more good gen. Please don't deprive us of it even more by letting people pressure you into writing stories that aren't what you want to write.
63. The only reason Rukia can get away with that weight at that height is because she's dead. And you will be, too, if you try and get your weight down that low unless you're about four feet tall or something. Please try to find a healthier goal for yourself, anon.
64. I can kind of see how it might be creepy for people with a doll phobia or something, but I have to agree with you. The ride is way too lovely to deserve the bashing it gets.

65. I'm pretty sure that this is a repeat.
NS!3 Pretty sure that this is a repeat, too.
