... Same xD

Ganted my first anime crushes were the fellow in your Icon and Piccolo respectivly, so... yeah xD

[identity profile] elenauial.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Awww, I love that!!

Mine is named Galileo, not after the astronomer, but as a fandom reference. :)

(+1000 points if anyone gets it. It's rather obscure.)

I was basically driven out of a fandom too...and it is exactly that...the FANDOM...meaning more than one person.

I'm not OP, but I have the same issue as losing a love for a certain series because of the fandom...I couldn't stand to look at anything of said series or read into it, because the FANDOM was just so horrible about it...not just one person.

You have to be stupid not know that people follow examples of strong voices...and if that strong voice happens to be an obnoxious bitch about everything, then the rest of the fandom will think it's okay to be an obnoxious bitch about everything that is not of their (the original decider) tastes.

Someone brings this up every time there's an unmarked spoiler, but I don't get how it's supposed to help. Do you seriously expect anyone to avoid the ENTIRE COMM until they've finished every book/movie/game/whatever they might potentially ever want to finish?

[identity profile] torayakari.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
I wanna read it! Please please please let me read it OP! :'D

"What the smegging smeg does he smegging think he's smegging doing??"

(That's a canon line of dialogue. So if lines like this are written in my fandom's fic, yeah, there's a chance they'd fit right in to parts of the characters and show. *G*)

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2010-06-27 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, uh, those two things are completely NOT on the same level. I don't care, OP. I don't know you, I just have an opinion, and that is neither the same thing as an "argument," nor is it the same thing as what your saying in your secret. It takes someone all of 5 minutes to respond to f!s. On the other hand you're admitting to carrying this drama around for extended periods of time enough to want to resort to physical violence. How is that at all healthy?

And if it was really because someone didn't like what you "ship", I'm sorry but that makes even less sense then your secret. So they don't like your "ship" - Why not just go play with the pairings YOU like and ignore them? They wouldn't be reading your shit anyway, right?

Perspective. You needs it. And maybe an ice cream cone and some Disney movies or something.

THIS.

(Anonymous) 2010-06-27 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
i think there was an old donald duck cartoon that had that in it, actually.

(Anonymous) 2010-06-27 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Meh, I guess I just don't see why anyone would get themselves that invested. If the drama overshadows the love for whatever the fandom is for in the first place, I think you're probably more involved than is healthy, anyway. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

THIS SECRET WINS SO HARD.

(Um, me too, OP, me too. "Mike Dexter is a blond vampire doctor now! This is awesome!")

They're all from the same original stock, right? The Gethenians and everyone else in the Ekumen are all descendants of some Old Earthican diaspora? And the Gethenians have been genetically modified to eliminate the sexes, but not in any other way. So it should work, in theory. I hadn't actually got as far as trying to figure out what the baby would be like - I guess I was thinking more that Estraven would die anyway, while pregnant, and then there would be OMG ANGST for everyone. Well, mostly for Ai.

I think sterile androgyne for the child seems most likely. Actually, come to think of it, is androgyne even the right word? Doesn't that technically mean having characteristic of both sexes? Really, a Gethenian outside of kemmer has characteristics of neither gender...

Also, I had to send a business letter at work last week to someone with the surname "Kemmerer" and I felt like I was telling a dirty joke. That no-one else in the world would appreciate. EXCEPT MAYBE YOU.

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. The creators of the show I do fandom for went so far as to make up their own swear words to replace the really big ones so that the characters could "swear" but it would get past the censors.

OP

(Anonymous) 2010-06-27 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
You people have ho idea how much you've helped me. I'd never thought so many people've been there.
I do need to get out. Perhaps a part of me was reluctant to do so because I remember the good times we had together, that and the fact she'd make a very dangerous enemy.
Good thing we're only at the beginning, I think I'll still be able to remove all the plot points and characters created by her. Her ideas are rather entertaining, but I'm sure I can do without them.

I'm not going to give up on the comic. After all, she's only a guest in my realm, excuse my unnecessary pathos.
Again, you people are amazing. A few words from internet strangers may not save rain forests, but can surely save one writer. ❤

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh honey, we had LOADS of that OTP on the A-Team Yahoo group years ago. I bet you could find lots of those fics using the Wayback machine or Google-fu ...

OP

(Anonymous) 2010-06-27 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh god, you had it worse than me. I'm sorry anon. Thankfully I'm not sharing a room with her, and there's mostly only emotional abuse involved. But I'm not going to let her interfere with my life.

Good luck, anon, I hope you follow dreams ❤

OP

(Anonymous) 2010-06-27 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's horrible! I know exactly how you feel. No physical abuse can measure up to the feeling of being slowly erased from your social life. The worst thing is that when we met, she was really shy and reserved and showered me with praise and admirtion. When I helped her gain the confidence, she just started to imitate everything I do, and did things I was too shy to do. The end result? Some people believing I'm the one being secondary.

Good luck to you too, I'm glad that you are over it.

lol being able to name a car is the best. mine has the name of Curtis because that's what was on the ignition key. it isn't even referred to as a car anymore! instead of "let's go in your car!" it's "let's take a ride in Curtis!" my own father even warmed up to the name after insisting before that cars are always girls.

OP

(Anonymous) 2010-06-27 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
You're right. People tend to say that. But I suppose at the time I was so shocked to believe what's happening I could not react properly. It is a first time I've ever been hit, as I was lucky enough to grow up in a loving family. I don't even know how I got into this relationship in the first place.

[identity profile] gethenian.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
They're all from the same original stock, right? The Gethenians and everyone else in the Ekumen are all descendants of some Old Earthican diaspora? And the Gethenians have been genetically modified to eliminate the sexes, but not in any other way.

That was my understanding, yes. They don't explicitly explain what happened, only that they BELIEVE the Gethenians were an abandoned genetic experiment planted on their planet by ancient Hainish people, whoever they were.

And yeah, Estraven would die anyway and lead to AnGsT but I still think about a lot of shit like that, especially when I like to toss the characters into other worlds and timelines and that sort of thing becomes possible. >.>


I think sterile androgyne for the child seems most likely. Actually, come to think of it, is androgyne even the right word? Doesn't that technically mean having characteristic of both sexes? Really, a Gethenian outside of kemmer has characteristics of neither gender...

It means both, or neither, which is correct in either case when applied to Gethenians. ^_^

BWAHAHAHAHA

Oh, for fuck's sake. You again? Piss off.

[identity profile] callmejude.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
I've been in fandoms that get past the censors that way, too. I find it amusing.
