Sometimes I feel guilty for being one of those fans.

My experience with FFVII should be a fandom secret, but I'm such a non-secretive person that if I could post this un-anon, I would. (My internet name is skibalovesya. Hello.)

I got into FFVII in August of 2010. I knew what it was before but never played it because of a stupid insistence of playing all the FFs in order, which was broken a year prior to that when my then-boyfriend shoved FFX into my hands and told me to play.

Over the course of a week, a then-friend proceeded to explain all of the game canon to me, excluding a chunk of DoC and all of BC because she didn't know much about BC at the time. I started playing Crisis Core first, but I'd been spoiled for everything beforehand. (Doesn't matter, I am a spoiler whore.)

I fell in love with Crisis Core, for the most part. Ignoring Genesis/Gackt (I hate Gackt, and I hate canon!Gen, but I'm totally okay with fandom!Gen), the game is amazing. I got sucked into this giant vortex and started churning out fic and headcanon and RPs and nonsense. It's so much fun. I love it more than anything.

But I really don't like the fandom for the most part. I hate the fanon so much. I insist that Sephiroth isn't a general, and that SOLDIER isn't military, and BC doesn't exist except for some parts that aren't stupid. I have the strictest headcanon ever and I want to convert everyone to my ideal so I can enjoy things more. But I can still enjoy the fandom with some fandom friends who have agreed to follow my stupid mind-rules. They're awesome like that.

I only acknowledge the first game, 90% of Crisis Core, and Advent Children, plus a little bit of the novels, as canon. Everything else, in my view, isn't canon.

I just about single-handedly reignited the kink meme for a while by filling about sixteen prompts, until LJ changed its rules and no one posts anymore because the kink meme's starter is out of commission for some reason.

FFVII means so much to me I'm borderline otakukin. It kind of scares me. I was afraid it would happen.

But I agree with you. I kind of don't like the compilation. BC and DoC are stupid. Crisis Core, for the most part, is lovely. But the original game, which I thoroughly thrashed (everyone level 99 with perfect stats, breeding the perfect gold chocobo, destroyed the WEAPONs, all limit breaks acquired), is just... yes.

I just can't read most of the fic in the fandom.

There are fics I love but they're so few and far between. There are people in the fandom I despise and just ignore their existences, but... I have a lovely relationship with it in my head. I feel like one of those weird shut-in people, despite having a job and a life, but... it makes me so happy. Zack is my favorite character and I feel like discovering CC and him was like discovering a part of my heart I didn't know was missing.

Thank you, FFVII, for completing me.
