F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

Love the show, hate the showrunners?

I can't be the only one who occasionally has this problem.

I CONSTANTLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH STEVEN MOFFAT.

GOD I WISH HE WOULD JUST SHUT HIS MISOGYNIST, ARROGANT, PREJUDICED MOUTH.

And I felt this way about RTJ.

Meant RTD. Typo.

I feel this way about Korra because it's like they took a really interesting premise and drove it into a ditch.

Fuck the romance bullshit, I wanted to see the characters actually working toward a reasonable solution wrt the benders-nonbenders conflict.

OP, now wondering why all her shows have this problem. (Just started Korra. Should I bother finishing? :/ Is the fandom decent, at least?)

The first four episodes are great, but then it descends into a love triangley mess, the first-season finale is a copout that handwaves a major problem encountered by the protagonist and makes a legitimate issue magically disappear by removing a major player, Bolin's character pulls like a reverse Sokka where he becomes more incompetent and only good for humor over time, and in the previews for next season we already see Korra using the Avatar state for frivolous reasons. I'm not planning on picking it back up again, at least not until/unless I hear things have improved.

There are lots of cute Bolin/Korra and Korra/Asami fanarts out there on Tumblr. Don't really hang around any general discussion areas for the fandom, though.

VAMPIRE DIARIES SEASON THREE SPOILERS.





NEXT YEAR ELENA, DAMON AND STEFAN'S LOVE TRIANGLE WILL BE SUPER INTENSE BECAUSE SHE'S A VAMPIRE!

And what's happening outside the love triangle?

AND ELENA'S GOING TO REMEMBER THAT SHE MET DAMON FIRST!

And the others?

AND THE ROMANCE WILL TAKE A NEW TURN!

Is Damon at least going to suffer after his only friend died in his arms?

LOLWHUT? NO. DAMON HAS NO FRIENDS. ELENA ELENA ELENA.

Caroline? At least tell me something about her character.

KLAUS!TYLER WILL TRY TO GET IN HER PANTS BECAUSE HE'S IN HER BOYFRIEND'S BODY NOW, HAHA!

Wait? What? No!

DID WE MENTION ELENA AND DAMON AND STEFAN'S LOVE TRIANGLE?

+1

The show would be much more interesting without the damn love triangle. Elena deserves so much better than to be fought over like an object.

Supernatural/Sera Gamble.

Not hate as in 'I think she's a horrible person and should DIAF' but 'I think she didn't really have a good handle on what she was doing and was bad for the show and I'm glad she's moved on.'

Butch Hartman

Toilet humor is not funny. Please, please, please stop shoehorning it into all your shows! Even if they're for children! Fuck, especially if they're for children!

(I've found that I liked his shows and his characters when he wasn't writing them.... HMMM)

He's probably a nice dude in his personal life, but, ugh.

BtVS/Ats.

Wished Joss Whedon would get stuck on some deserted island where there are no writing tools or internet access or anything other than the constant need to survive day to day, night to night.

I hate the little fucker.

I was this way with Heroes. Tim Kring had no business managing that kind of show and couldn't hold onto the quality writers. *whargarbl*

Yes, this. Especially by the time he was focusing on Atlantis.

OP and I agree wholly. She was who I was thinking of primarily when I made this thread (but Moffat and RTD ranked as well).

Re: Love the show, hate the showrunners?

So agreed. So glad she's gone. Newsflash, Gamble, this isn't the "focus only on Sam, Sam and Dean shouldn't have any friends but each other" show.
