107, 117, 135

107. *watches everyone from femslash corner* I sometimes feel left out when the slashers and het-shippers start raging at each other. Don't get me wrong, I could wank pretty heavily myself if someone tried to pick a fight. But I don't care who Phoenix ends up with, which excludes me from a hefty proportion of ship wank.

Right now it seems like GS fandom is on some crazy pendulum between super-fun and super-wanky.

117. I have a similar relationship with my brother -- not so touchy-feely, but we're really close and have been mistaken for bf/gf before. The thought of sex with him makes me curl into a little ball, shuddering. But I like reading incest pairings in fandom. The thrill of the forbidden, and such.

135. The responses to this are kind of ridiculous. It's as disconcerting to see an American character say "mum" as it is to see a British character talk about their apartment. Or something. I'm not really active in any British or Australian fandoms.

I wish the people who are annoyed with this secret would use something other than Harry Potter as a reference. The books were localized for America, so it's less obvious to potential authors that it might be necessary to adapt their language. That doesn't make it right, it just makes Harry Potter a less than stellar example.

Less obvious? What, they removed all references to Surrey and Scotland and such places? Or do some people seriously think Surrey is in North Carolina or whatever?

No, no, not like that... Well, I don't have the books handy, but little things like changing "lemon sherbet" to "lemon drop," along with more common phrases. It seemed pretty extensive, given that when I'm reading a book by a British author I tend to take notice of the differences frequently, and I don't think that ever happened when I was reading Harry Potter.

I mean, it's less obvious to people that, oh right, British folks wouldn't say that/call an X a Y. It's less obvious that the language we use should be modified because in our release of the books they use the terms we'd use.

This might give you some idea of the way things were changed:
