Meh. The Ship Wars makes me sad (why do we have to be against one another to have fun, y'know?) so I'll just continue to lurk...and guard my squee? Lol.

Re: 141

you clearly havent been to the ship wars @ st_respect then

Re: 141

[vardoeger.livejournal.com]

From the first page: At the end of Ship Wars there will be only one ship with the right to boast and brag that it is the best and biggest

Unless I'm mistaken and this competition is meant to roll on forever I have a problem with this because 1)it presumes to speak for everyone who ships the respective pairings and 2)no matter how 'sanitary' the fight is supposed to be, there will be sore losers. I mean, you'd think a group of real fans would know better. There was an episode of ST:TOS that dealt with this...people marching into a machine to die for the sake of a 'neat' war. All this will do is further divide instead of unite, but do you. Whatever floats your boat and finds your lost remote.

Re: 141

Agreed. There's already been some minor drama, and I'd hate to see all the bitterness this is going to make in the end.

Re: 141

[vardoeger.livejournal.com]

It seems seriously pointless. Not the creative expression and creation but the competition because there are new people coming into the fandom everyday and since they weren't a part of this 'war' they won't recognise the ruling. In the end it will have accomplished nothing.

Re: 141

um. actually, if I could interject, for the minor pairing ships... it's actually brought a lot of the fandom together.

I mean, PikeOne, Chulu, Scokov, the fans for this pairing tended to be dispersed - or anon on the kinkmeme. With shipwars, everyone was brought together for a common goal.

I can understand this is not the same for larger ships, but I don't think it should be outright claimed as useless without that at least being noted :)

/hug

It's hard shipping relatively obscure pairings.

(K/S fan now, but have shipped plenty of obscure pairings in previous fandoms)

Re: 141

[vardoeger.livejournal.com]

When I say it's divisive to the fandom, I'm speaking of it as a whole. I am glad it's brought the smaller groups together but it would have been nicer if it wasn't so that they could be united against something.

Re: 141

[(Anonymous)]

To be honest, I don't think they could have been brought together any other way.

When a banner goes up saying "PROVE YOUR LOVE IS TRUE!" it tends to get the biggest response.

But it's all over in a month. One more challenge, then back to... whatever was before this.

Re: 141

[vardoeger.livejournal.com]

Maybe, maybe not. No one tried and there's no point now.

I just see the sniping as being worse than what it was before but at least one positive thing came of it.

Re: 141

[(Anonymous)]

IMO it would have been better if it was set up like a fic festival instead of a "war". The competition aspect just seems to subtly promote vicious behavior :/
