And yeah, yeah, but that's so shallow, blah blah. Fandom is a fun hobby for fuck's sake. If people are just there for the hot porn and don't give a damn for the deep character analysis, I happen to think that's just fine.
Now, personally I will read some femslash if a friend strongly recs it, or something about the summary intrigues me...but since I don't tend to go looking through more general fic comms or archives, that doesn't happen very often. I'm open to it in my fandoms from the perspective of, "reading good, interesting fics." But I don't usually find it hot, and I don't seek it out.
I generally relate best to the male characters in my fandoms. FANfiction is about other people's established characters - if I don't care about the characters that much in the first place, I sure don't want to read lots of fic about them.
The best fiction I've read about lesbian couples - stuff I actually really liked and could sometimes even find hot - has ALL been original fiction. That might be a matter of the difference between the way women can be written about in books, and the way they can be portrayed on television. I don't know.
But really, most femslash bores me.
151. This secret is so obnoxious.
You know a lot of people have gotten into Classic Who through the new series, right? Yeah, David Tennant is pretty; but I don't have a single friend in Who fandom who doesn't find much more to it than that.
If Trek fandom is ruined (hah, yeah right), the consolation will be that it pisses off people who say things like, "We're geeks, we don't need the pretty."
Sorry, forgot that being geeky means living in a bubble of sex-repellent. Won't do THAT again.
no subject
Maybe your friends have enough sense when getting into a new fandom, to be civil with the existing fans and look around a while before running off at the mouth about what's wrong with the old shows and how the new ones are OMG SO MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT YOU OLD 'TARDS THOUGHT?
(Sorry, I can see the reason for the OP's worry. I have both "old skool" and "new skool" fans on my f-list for more than one rehashed series/movie. I too have been the new kid in a very old fandom before, and while some of the "oldies" are old farts who won't listen to reason by anyone who hasn't watched for 30 years, most like new ideas but simply don't want their squee harshed; they really don't seem to hate the "newbies" so much as the attitude a small but loud percentage of them bring along. If that makes sense.)
no subject
:( Well, that attitude sucks.
And no, I don't think anyone I know personally is like that. If anything, I feel that the Classic fans whine a lot more about the show being ruined, not the same, etc. I know some people really don't like the Classic Who stuff, but I also got the impression that they feel like they're made out to be Bad Fans for that.
It could be my corner, though. I wouldn't be surprised if there were people bashing the old show elsewhere.
But honestly, Trek? Gosh, I can't imagine any new thing really denting that fandom. From an outside perspective.
no subject
And yeah, Trek fandom is HUGE. I've often thought it's so big that it's like the newest major religion (except I'd probably get eviscerated for making the comparison, so I've resisted up 'til now *G*).
