[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

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?

Re: Has RPF always had a stigma?

I think the problem some people have is how accessible some celebrities are now with things like facebook and twitter. I've heard people say they get bad second hand embarrassment being apart of a fandom that openly links and sends RPF to that celebrity or people connected to them.

Yeah, exactly. It's not that there's that much of a stigma, I think most sane fans just REALLY want a line drawn clearly between fandom and the people themselves. And the fact that a lot of people are idiots who don't understand that it's awkward and NOT OKAY to link people to RPF stories on Twitter or go "omg do you love @Y, @X?" on Twitter, or email or Facebook or whatever at them.

I know my RPF fandom has tried to self-isolate which sucks because it decreases the amount of new people joining in on the fun, but it's to protect us a bit so that even if we do this on the great wide internet, the people we gush over won't run into it by accident. (But if any fellow fan wants to google "___ fanfiction", they can find us.)

yup, this

there has always been RPF in some way in another, but now that everyone and their grandma has a facebook/twitter/tumblr etc., you don't have to like send letters (and hope they make it to the person) or physically stalk a celebrity to get them to see your stories of them
