101. Don't feel so guilty. His performance was great and is being overlooked by many, which sucks but is understandable given the circumstances.

103. Heh, true. I also tend to say "bodka" now instead of vodka. Y'know. For gits and shiggles.

107. You can't write for your OTP on the side? Stop caving in to external pressure or start writing for yourself first.

112. "Introverted freaks [. . .] destruction" actually describes a good part of fandom. Some people really HAVEN'T thought about the concepts in The Dark Knight, and those people usually don't crawl around in fandom too often.

118. This article seems a little quick to generalize, no? I can speak for myself, so I will: I think I know the difference between good writing on the Internets and bad, and I tend to gravitate towards the good. I've read novel-length fanfic and learned so much from it--about writing, about relationships, about human emotions and how complex everything is. Nadia in the article cannot be used to represent everyone who reads fic. It's a disgrace to those who read and write better work.

Bah. Fuck negative opinions of fanfiction. Clearly they read the wrong fic. While your secret and the article has a point, definitely, it leaves those of us who don't read badfic (I'm certainly not the only one) in the cold.

135. Seriously? HP fandom is slowing down?

... aw. I kind of thought it'd be around forever.

139. Replace the guest with Stephen and yes. Please. I want at least one crossover episode, and I'm not talking Midterm Midtacular (though that was quite fun). They don't even do tosses anymore...

148. I like them if they're especially horrible. It's like loving a trainwreck--something about how horrible it is, and I'm just like wow, really? You're THIS bad? MOAR!!

158. You mean there's no crackfic in a fandom where the villain was not just A joker, but THE Joker?

BLASPHEMY.

165. That was a really good movie, though. WATCH IT. Skip that scene if you must.

167. I have that shirt Zachary is wearing.

169. Me too.

176. So doing that for the next chapter, which I still have to read!

Well, for a while, maybe.

118 OP

I actually didn't take the article to be generalizing-- it just seemed to me to represent a disturbing trend in, if not the majority (and certainly not all) then at least a significant portion of fandom. Honestly, the number of well-phrased and intelligent responses I've seen to the secret so far have done a lot to reassure me. (Three cheers for good fic; may the lost and grammarless find it!)
