107 Just say, "I'll probably watch X and be fangirly about that!" If you don't get embarrassed about even good natured teasing, it isn't as much fun for the teaser. And besides, it's true!

125 A LOT of Remus-fans agree with you. Don't presume that portion of the fandom who are all-or-nothing about HP, or think that JKR is god, are the entire fandom. Plenty of us who really loved the books really hated the way it all ended, for a lot of reasons.

133 Oh music snobs. I just hope you have more reason for being into that band than rubbing her nose in it!

134 It's not a total thing, more like a percentage average; there's a higher proportion of badfic in het than slash. And it used to be because there were more really young kids writing fic and not taking it all that seriously in het fandom. But believe me, they've started to make their way into slash, so I bet femslash/yuri will be the only place to get away from annoying fangirls and their bad porn.

153 I so cannot take him seriously since Joel started doing such a good take on him on The Soup.

167 You make me feel better just about my own single-fandom AU!

169 Wow, talk about your rare fandoms. But a friend of mine was watching Hello Dolly and slashing that, and French sailors have to be gayer than anything in 1890s Yonkers. That's what Yuletide is for, man!

There's been a lot of drama and extremists on both sides, which is kind of the problem...? I don't want people to jump to the conclusion that I'm a crazy 'nothing' fan. I guess I'm worrying too much about what hypothetical people think of me but... there's been a lot of wank expended already, I don't wanna get caught up in more.

Well, really? People jump to conclusions all the time, and if they're going to be like that, whatever. A lot of the wank has died down because people have opinions, they've expressed them, and now folks are just settling down to writing fic for a closed canon, rather than fighting over said canon.

I saw in your comments elsewhere that you were a Remus/Sirius person and I want to say, lots of folks like to blame dislike of canon on a shipper not getting their ship, which is really frustrating. I was a H/Hr shipper (fanon, not canon) and while H/G in particular wasn't a trope I particularly like, I wanted JKR to sell me on it, and she really didn't. I have good friends who were all about the H/G and couldn't wait for it who were bitterly disappointed. In the end, I was glad that I didn't like many of the canon ships, because JKR can't write romance at all. There are a lot of reasons to not be down with the Remus/Tonks that aren't "because Remus/Sirius didn't happen." After all, they aren't mutually exclusive—he didn't get with Tonks until Sirius died!

Jump into that remus sirius comm you were linked to, have some fun with likeminded people, and don't worry about someone thinking you're one of the "crazy ones." That's just the view from outside, and could be said about pretty much any fandom.

That sounds like pretty good advice really, all of it.
