Figured it was about time we had one. You know what to do. (:
(and if you don't, there's always google.)

I still don't understand what this meme was about.
I googled "anon", but it didn't help.

Post anon, with any thing you want to say, like you would do with a normal fandomsecret. It's just without the pictures, basically.
West Side Story is my favorite version of Romeo and Juliet, followed by Baz Luhrmann's version.
It's a secret 'cause apparently it's blasphemy for Shakespeare nerds who don't dislike R&J (I love it, for heaven's sake, and NOT because it's a melodramatic young lurrrrve tragedy) to like anything better than Franco Zeferelli's version. =P

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW THERE'S TOO MANY SECRETS OF "_________________________" BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW
GUESS WHAT? IS FANDOM SECRETS NOT VARIETY TALKSHOW SECRETS.

I love fluffy, slice of life, moeblob anime. :( It's a guilty pleasure.

I fucking hate BNFs.
Not people specifically (well, one or two), but so many people kiss their fandom BNFs asses that it's a truly pathetic sight.
Related tangent: And god forbid you have a dissenting opinion from them; you're ostracized from that fandom. "HOW COULD YOU DISAGREE WITH MEEE" and then 20 of their 'friends' appear from nowhere to complain about someone not agreeing with the herd.
Try thinking for yourselves instead of sucking up to some asshole on the internet, shitdicks.

I'm FtM, but fandom (yaoi fandom in particular) makes me terrified of being anything but stealth online.
Sorry, crazed yaoi fangirls. I'm nothing like you.

Fandom's obsession with yaoi and slash annoys me SFM. Viewing gay men as pretty boys having buttsecks so that desperate losers glued to their computer screen can mutually get themselves off is degradading. And there is nothing in the world that will ever convince me that people who cannot enjoy any form of mainstream entertainment without turning every single male friendship or bond into "ZOMG OTP 4EVA!!!!" are not all fat, bored, middle-aged women who aren't getting any (and possibly never have).
Oh yeah, and slash isn't more edgy or subversive or intellectual than het. Since it all comes down to porn, let's stop pretending we're actually giving this some thought.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

Lies. There's also fat, bored teenagers and fat, bored college students.
Okay, so I know that the S/P fandom is supposed to be great and everything? But they kind of piss me off. It feels like half of them popped over from the Zutara fandom, so they've got their 'we're totally gonna be canon' delusions being brought over. And they take it so seriously.
I ship it too, but half the posts are 'people are saying we're crazy, let's argue with them!' I want fic and art and glee, not canon-validity debating.
Especially when it's exactly the same argument every time oh god you guys enough is enough.

The Zutara "WE MUST PREEMPTIVE STRIKE ANYONE WHO DARES OPPOSE US" bitches are almost as annoying as the Heath Ledger "I NEVER HEARD OF HIM BEFORE TDK BUT I'D SO HIT THAT AS THE JOKER OH WAIT RORSCHACH WATCHMEN FTW" bitches.
I start to hate anything with that flighty mob mentality. I don't even hate Zutara that much, but when I hate the fans, they go "OMG U DONT UNDERSTAND BITCH WE'RE NOT ALL CRAZY"
I'm sorry, S/P fandom, that you must deal with them now. m(_ _)m

The fandom's reaction to Megupoid's design being released literally pissed me off.
Especially since everyone was like "WANT MORE MALES, WANT MORE MALES". stfu sexist vocaloid fandom.

I like her design.
I just wish her box art wasn't so ugly though. Ugh, and that vacant look.

I think I finally found the Mulder to my Scully. Good old platonic love-friendship, how I desired you.
My best friend hates RPF/RPS but I love writing it. I have a bunch written but I'm afraid if she saw me posting it, she would never speak to me again. Maybe I should get an account at Dreamwidth and post it there.
Fandom made me realize not that I'm racist (I'm not), but that I'm sexist against men.

I skip a lot of stuff in f!s 'cause it's geting boring.
Me too. A lot of times I end up skipping the sex scenes... because they don't move the plot along anymore than the fact that they had sex.
How is politics fandom? Why can't cookies be a fandom then?
I still have no idea what RaceFail is.
I miss the days of "I agree with Raito" secrets.

I'm logged in right now, and yet LJ keeps making me prove I'm a human every time I post a anon comment to this meme.
I'M LOGGED IN YOU ASSHOLE.

That's how anon commenting works.
I logged out because I was sick of "click 'reply' > more options > anonymous > post comment > type captcha > post comment".

I don't read or write fanfic (not much, anyway, and especially not publically), I don't make icons or fanart, I don't do meta posts or lead discussions and I'm not majorly involved in any fandom-related communites. YET I consider myself part of fandom. Am I alone in this?
Good News Week should never have come back. I wish it had stayed dead.
it's embarrassing how bad it is, compared to the epicness of the original
Seeing all the "I wish I was BNF" posts made me think of one thing: Why? And how would one even go about that? It's not like there's some special BNF juju to drink or is there?
People crave fame, even the virtually anonymous kind.
The author of the Leandros series comes off as a pretentious asshole to me.
Her writing isn't stellar either. I'm only reading it for the slash.

I found her LJ the day I bought Nightlife, read it for about two seconds, then hit the back button and never returned.
But I enjoy the books.

Hating something popular doesn't make you a unique and special snowflake. Get the fuck over yourself.
I hate that people judge BNFs by their simpering fans. It's not like they asked for them. Unless they purposely do gather their own fans, in which case they're attention whores
IKR? I became a BNF in a smallish fandom kind of by accident and the fawning is really uncomfortable, especially because I am generally not as involved in the socializing aspects of fandom.
fandom made my dislike of white women rise about 300%. christ you are crazy.
How do you know someone is white on the internet? Or female? I mean I know most fic and wank is created by girls, but really, we're not all crazy, that's just how we go when we go crazy, you know?
I. Hate. Non-canon.
Not because I am homophobic, or it conflicts with my OTP or I am closed minded or some bullshit. I don't care who you ship, what fandom, whatever. I don't care if you write shitty time-warp AU self-insert noncon BDSM incest furry fic with Angela Lansbury.
It's just that for most of the non-canon pairings (there are exceptions) in order to have your crazy slash ship work, everyone has to be completely out of character. Because there is no way that ____, an innocent high school student, would suddenly have an insatiable desire to hook up with your Mary Sue, or their mortal enemy, or a bear. And that is why "TT___TT where's the fandom? every1 h8s my ot3"
It just shows that you don't understand the character, or you watched the show with your eyes closed.

omg, like fanfic writers just throw characters together without any build up or anything-- oh wait.
tired of canon purists wanking about how they know canon better than anyone who dares write anything other than what the producers/writer/author dictates. THEY KNOW. Jesus fucking Christ.
