[ Anon Meme ]

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?

It makes me so sad that my friends don't get multishipping.
So if one ships A/B and the other A/C everything's fine; they politely agree to disagree. But if I ship both A/B and A/C and maybe A/D too and a dash of A/B/C then I'm an awful traitor to all pairings.

Alphabet orgies are the funnest, your friends don't know what they're missing.

I hate that. I multi-ship like whoa (partly due to the fact my fandom has multiple canons) and people tend to be exclusive this/that and aaaah.

multishipping is such the best! i think it's pretty silly to say that if if you ship one pairing, you can't ship any members of that pairing with anyone else. especially when (i'm going out on a limb here) a hefty majority of ships aren't canon pairings, and are even often in conflict with the canon romances! it might be a bit ridiculous to have a single au where everyone is shipped with everyone else in a myriad different configurations, but there's no reason that you can't just think people would be awesome together in different ways at different times.

basically, people take their otp way to seriously sometimes. =T

For some reason, when I have a favourite ship in a fandom, I tend to want to ship one half of it with everyone (or at least a whole bunch of other people) and the other half only in that pairing. IDK why, but I also don't have fits at other people who disagree, so *shrug*. Basically, though, yeah, multishipping is great, and I wish more people were at least open to the possibility.

I'm exactly the same way. Personally, I think it's because I've gotten attached to one character, the one I multi-ship, and seeing the other character shipped elsewhere gives me a weird retroactive jealousy.
