Normally I'd agree with you, but here's where it gets tricky with Watchmen. I am not against new fans in general. In fact, I have personally placed Watchmen in the hands of 10 new readers, all of whom have loved it. I'm proud to have done that and am happy to have shared a work I love with others who now appreciate it.

However, Watchmen is also a work that, for the past 20-odd years, has been treated by fans with the utmost dignity and respect; it has engendered deep, philosophical and ideological debate; its plotting, writing, and artwork has been analyzed to a nigh-Shakespearean degree. In short, Watchmen is SRS BSNS.

What I am not looking forward to: fangirls lusting after the Comedian (DOING IT RONG), Rorschach becoming everybody's woobie who was totally right in everything he did (MISSING THE POINT), misogynistic fanfic blaming Laurie for keeping Dan and Rorschach from proclaiming their EPIC TRU WUV, "I did it 35 minutes ago" becoming a meme and making it lose all of its impact in context, and the inevitable wank, wank, WANK.

I guess my point is I'm not against new fans, I just dread the new fandom.

"I did it 35 minutes ago" becoming a meme
Already happened. I don't know about the others, though I'm sure those will/have already happened.

Re: 108

They've already started, I just fear it becoming widespread and unavoidable.

Someone turning "I did it 35 minutes ago" into a meme? I did it 35 minutes ago.

I agree. And I'm a 'new fan'.
I haven't read Watchmen yet, [I decided to read it only after seeing the film, because I don't want to be disappointed by the film.] but I know enough to realize that for once, fandom is srs bsns.
And I don't want to see Rorschach becoming everybody's woobie and Dan and Rorschach proclaiming their EPIC TRU WUV complete with personality transplants and a new and improved ending [I don't know exactly, or want to before seeing it, how it ends, but I understand dying is involved.], but there is going to be that. A lot. Do not want.

Right-- the problem isn't "new fans", it's "new fans who come in and act like they own the place." I don't care how old or new or lulzy or srs bsns a fandom is, new fans who lurk at first and get a feel for How Things Work Around Here will always be more welcome than the new fans who come in and spam the place with their OOC fic and furry art.
