Personally, one of the things I like MOST about fandom is that it gives you a chance to consider dozens of different interpretations of a character, or how the characters would act in innumerable situations the canon will never feature. And if you're in a fandom like Doctor Who, there's about a million side characters for people to go back and mess with a little.
That doesn't mean I don't cringe a bit when I see, "this is a bit of an experiment..." in the author's notes. That's almost NEVER good.
Consider the idea that what a lot of fics gain in originality, they lose in the utter FAIL of execution.
109. I was just at a loss when I saw this one. I had to wonder what the movie was about. Like, did it feature people in wheelchairs wheeling after able-bodied people while wielding axes, or what?
So I looked up the plot summary on Wikipedia, and yikes. I can see how that might seriously traumatize a nine-year-old. I saw one of the Ghostbusters movies when I was three, and didn't really get over it until I was 16 or so, and that was far less frightening than this movie sounds.
That being said, the movie you saw was a work of fiction. (And clearly has a point beyond, "side-show performers hack somebody up.") Perhaps it would help to watch it again? Seeing it again with the distance of several years might give you a different perspective on the film as a whole (and therefore your reaction to it).
Beyond that...see a therapist who works with phobias?
129. No shit.
130. AAAH IT'S A SMUTFIC GET IN THE CAR. Um, smut can be smart, in-character and revealing. Genre snobbery is fail.
151. You should hook up with 130, you guys could sneer at fandom together for having an interest in sex.
1) How is "objectification," not a moral grey area to begin with? I have yet to find someone who can explain to me why sexual objectification is automatically evil.
2) Maybe YOU would be bothered. Personally, given how intrusive fame is, I can't see too many pluses to it beyond large numbers of people thinking you're hot and wanting to fuck you.
168. I'd feel bad about how much I grinned over her swipes at Rose...
And then I remember the whole period between, "Runaway Bride," and "Partners in Crime," where the vast majority of Whofic which even MENTIONED Donna (other than in fix-it fics) portrayed her as an indescribably shallow, mindless, petty screeching harpy who the Doctor just has on board so he's not too lonely.
And then I don't feel very guilty anymore.
