1. Or one obscenely annoying fangirl ...

21. Ehehe. I love you just for your graphic alone. My mum gets irritated or annoyed when I talk about fandom or anything I really enjoy because she has no clue what I'm talking about, it makes her feel uneducated, or I won't let her watch shows I watch because I don't want to offend her. I don't want her to watch The Tudors because of all the sex and the homosexual subplot -- I almost let her watch the season finale but then I remembered it opened with Henry masturbating and that was the end of that idea. It's really sad that I know more about sex than a 50 year old woman. I hide fandom from her because she would not get it, or be offended, or find it gross. I think she and I would get along better if she would just give something a chance with an open mind instead of forcing me to deny liking things and directing her away from my interests as to keep her from being shocked or put off.

22. ... if you've never read canon I'd say you're one of the reasons fandom used to be better. You might be good at what you do, but when there are hundreds of new fans who don't want to bother with reading, watching, playing the fandom they're in ... well, it starts to suck. I used to be very heavily into the FFVII fandom and about the time all these new fans who didn't want to bother playing the game and were basing everything off fanfic and Advent Children, the fandom really began to suck ass. Not to say there wasn't bad stuff before because there was, but I can say that fandom was better years ago.

At least after AC fans knew who Zack was. I swear, I remember reading fanfiction by people who responded "who?" to mentions of Zack.

Though, I could really do without all the people who only saw AC and now write during-game fic. FFVII is one of those games that has an awful lot of things happen during it, and none of the walkthroughs really give you a good idea of how bad the translation was the events that really transpired.

I have seen people get character genders wrong because they decided to write for something they had never touched the canon of. Seriously, people. What is this bullshit.
