Let it out.

Tired of people doing fandom friending memes when they're not in fandom. Makes it really hard to find new friends who actually are in fandoms.

I miss my fandom. Haven't been on Tumblr in a couple of weeks. I just haven't had the energy or time. But I miss it. My fandom is the best.

I believe 110% that anyone should have the right to express their gender however they.

I also find it ridiculous that people on tumblr are talking about "women and afab people" these days.

"women and femmes" is arguably worse but yeah

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2018-02-11 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
what is a femme and how is it different than woman?

I am so fucking irritated. My recipient has a DNW of AUs. Okay, reasonable. But, the pairing they requested never meet in canon. The only way to get them together is to make an AU. I asked for clarification about maybe having a canon-compliant AU but the recipient said no. No AUs for anything. Fuck you, recipient. You're getting shit and you earned it.

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2018-02-11 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there's a lot of confusion in how people use AU?

But they probably mean AU in the sense of transporting characters into a totally different setting, not just any story that departs from canon? I would imagine?

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2018-02-11 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I thought, which was why I checked through the mod. But, nope. No AUs at all. Not even fix-it fic or minor canon-divergence stuff that would actually get these characters together.

Hahaha. Sorry. That's fucking hilarious.
That's like ordering fries and asking them to hold the potatoes.
What a weird request.

Your recipient is freaking weird, anon.

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2018-02-11 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
How annoying! My guess is that this person is too dumb to understand what they're asking for or what an AU encompasses. If I were the mod, I'd gently (but firmly) try to point out the impossibility of their request and ask them to reconsider, or resign themselves that they're not going to get exactly what they asked for.

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2018-02-11 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Can you write something that takes place *after* canon, or do they not both survives?

I would have assumed they meant no AUs in the sense of "Don't make them all vampires who go to Hogwarts" or something but dang, I dunno!

I hate receiving feedback for fic because it reminds me of writing things in school for marking, and I just want it to be a zero pressure fun thing.
Is it rude to turn commenting off? Opinions pls.

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2018-02-11 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What kind of feedback is it? Sometimes I leave a little constructive criticism along the lines of, "I love how in-character everybody is and that was a great plot twist! Can't wait for the next chapter, but I must admit that suddenly switching from third person to first is a little distracting", but I only do that if the author specifically asks for criticism and I try to be nice about it. However, if you don't want that, it's totally fine to turn it off. You're mainly writing for yourself, after all, and you should enjoy the process.

It's totally fine to turn it off imo

It's your business if you don't want feedback.

I think if you want to turn off commenting, that's your choice and nobody's business why you want it turned off.

Barba’s exit was BULLSHIT. RAFAEL BARBA WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DO THAT. IT WAS SUCH A WTF EPISODE AND HIS CHARACTER DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER.

I don’t know what the new show runner has been smoking, but he doesn’t understand the squad and Barba at all.

I’m pretty much pretending the show went AU after Season 17.

Everyone I know is vaulting out of our current fandom to get back into Kingdom Hearts after that trailer dropped, and I wish I could get hyped for it too but I've just never cared about it. I'm really sad and I feel like I'm being left behind.

Re: Fandom Venting

Hell, I was in Kingdom Hearts and I can't imagine getting back into it now, ten years older.

I'll probably play the game, but I won't get into the fandom again.

I finally got into the show Supernatural and finished what was on Netflix. I feel a little like an impostor since I only got into the show after the 13th season had started.

Not really a vent, I guess. More of an insecurity.
