Hey, you heard what they said. What we do is sick and wrong. Of course we are exempt from the rules of fandom. Plus, we're all blathering idiots, and everyone in every other slash fandom ever is articulate and intelligent. Did you miss that memo or something?

There are not enough dead fish in an oil slick to handle some of these people :/

You know, I know that you're probably used to arguing with people who maintain that it's "sick and wrong" for some vague reason, but I've never even alluded to thinking that. If you'd like to argue against a strawman, can you do it somewhere else?

Oh, she's not saying we're sick and wrong, from what I say. Just that we are either in it for the sex or the lulz. Admittedly, we do have sex & lulz (like most awesome fandoms), but hey, we know we're more than that, and that's all that matters.

Personally, I'm happy just with all the awesome people we've got in our fandom. <3

Out of curiousity, what more are you than that? And you are aware that you present as being in it for the sex and the lulz, right?

Okay, apparently I was not clear. For me, fandom is not two disparate parts (sex & lulz). There is sex, yes, and there is the lulz, the latter of which I can appreciate more than the former, but there is also writing (and more) that addresses more than that.

For instance, I've used it to explore the media, news cycles, and culpability. There are explorations of power dynamics, personal v. political, oneself and ones desires v. the greater good, the personal as political and the political as personal, the subsuming of individuality under greater mantels carried, and simpler things like love and friendship and the tiny steps we take to hell. In this fandom alone I've explored religion, the continued issues we as a society have with homosexuality, and other issues that are incredibly important to me. Sure, I write original things, too, but fandom and fan fiction is a lens I can use to put up yet another view of that around me.

So, while I'm not about to say that no, I'm not for lulz in fandom, I will also disagree if you say that we can't be and are not currently more than that.

I said this downthread, but I'm actually quite stunned to learn that people ship them unironically and I can't really comment on it without getting into the RPS debate.

There's nothing wrong with disliking RPF. Personally, I view fandom/writing about them as writing them as characters. I don't any more assume what I write or read actually pertains to them and their actual reality anymore than Josh Lyman really is Rahm Emanuel. I can see, though, where some people would disagree (including some close friends of mine) and not make that distinction. It's one of those things where you agree to disagree and walk away.
