the ability to differentiate between fiction and reality has gone downhill these days.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. For me, the most wearisome thing about fandom interaction is having to preemptively state your moral stance before squeeing over... basically anything.

It's only going to get worse. I stumbled on a conversation between middle school teachers yesterday, and they were having to do remedial phonemics. Kids were just guessing what they thought the word was. Asking them to do any kind of literary analysis once they're in high school or college? HA.

[(Anonymous)]

My biggest frustrations with this are people saying "bad character" when they mean "character who is a bad person" and that they hate them and don't want anything to do with them in fandom because they're "a bad character." It makes those of us who enjoy the character and still use words correctly look like idiots to outsiders who don't know the fandom. "Are YOU media illiterate? Why would you like a bad character?" I don't, I like a good character who's a bad person!

it's called a well written character. Good character = good person.

[(Anonymous)]

you bozo. Learn how to word.

[(Anonymous)]

for the opposite examples, personally seen a lot of "how dare you dislike this character? they're so nice!"

yes, perhaps a character being nice does not mean they are interesting.

Three of my fandoms over the years were overtaken by fans of a new adaptation. It’s never a good a thing. I’m a firm believer that the adaptation fans belong in their own space, not the space for the source material. If someone is a fan of both that’s fine but leave the adaptation stuff out of the preexisting fan spaces. Sadly it never happens that way and either the adaptation fans overrun all the fan spaces or the source material fans are total assholes who spend years punching down on the new adaptation and its fans.

I, too, am very glad I got my books (just this past week, actually!) without advertising covers. Got them used/ex-library, and they're very nice.
I HATE it when books get adapted and all you see is the movie/tv art or photos on the covers, blech.

I'm really enjoying my re-read, but I *am* going to watch the show. I am so looking forward to the fact that they actually MADE 'Sanctuary Moon' footage, omg.

Still not sold on Skarsgård being the Murderbot. We shall see.

[(Anonymous)]

I was starting to be cautiously excited and then there was a clip with a "peepee" joke that was just a) super childish for no reason and b) fuckin weird in a canon where everyone knows what a construct is, so now I'm back to unenthused.

[dinogrrl]

Sometimes books need to just stay books, even if they are really good books.

[akacat]

Similarly I’m really glad Tor ebooks don’t have drm. My backed up copies won’t get the new covers.

I could have written this secret; the amount of times I've enjoyed a piece of media, then discovered the fandom and apparently liked the "wrong" characters or had the "wrong" headcanons and got paranoid because of it, is too numerous to count.

They both look like they are judging you, but Dedra seems far more murderous about it.

Homg, Boardwalk Empire! Loved that.
And yes - that place was fucking horrifying. How sad to imagine so many people having to survive (or not) places like that for centuries....

Same, even with fictional characters, I know I would be weird and awkward and the thought makes me cringe.

I guess the Catholic Church just admitted it had lost the battle for European recruits and converts. It has cooked its own goose on that one.
