Re: Old school Harry Potter fans ahoy! What exactly is the significance of this msscribe thing?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-29 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I *think* I'm just missing the context behind it: was the culture of shipping cohorts and different comms and BNFs and the divisions within the HP fandom (like Sugar Quill vs Fiction Alley) REALLY that massive and noticeable and fandom-wide? Like, was it something every HP had to deal with and were always aware of due to participation or osmosis or something?

First question: yes. Yes, the divisions between the BNFs and their associated ships were definitely unavoidable and fandomwide. About the only place that was free from that kind of BS was FF.N, because neither of the cohorts was there, obviously especially not Cassie Claire's.

It sort of depended on how deeply ingrained in fandom you were? I wound up on the Harry/Draco side of things and slash side of things for the most part, which had me firmly over in the Cassie Claire/FictionAlley corner (I remember feeling very discriminated against as a slasher over by SugarQuill, a feeling that I am unsure had any basis at the time). I was on Livejournal, FA, briefly had an account on SQ, and found this kind of drama unavoidable. However, I was never a BNF follower -- I never friended Cassie Claire or Heidi or anyone, por ejemplo, nor really commented on any of their fics -- so it took a while for this information to get to me. But I knew who the BNFs were, and their opinions had a lot of sway in my community.
