Re: feel free to spoil me for cote i will never watch it

[(Anonymous)]

DA here, I think using the term nutters is horrible, but what happened is some fans formed a group called Save Ianto Jones, or it may have been Save Coffee Boy, there were a couple. I was never a member of either, so didn't see what happened on their LJs, but I did read some of their public posts about the coffee. They sent coffee as part of a protest to the BBC, to try and put pressure on to get the character back.

Thing is these sorts of things worked in other fandoms, so I don't blame them for trying. The BBC just isn't really the sort of place where it would work, I think all the other fandoms were in the US, where fan pressure made a difference for commercial reasons.

I don't really think it did any harm, maybe some BBC staff got some nice coffee, and I think if you feel strongly about something why not try. I've never been into any fandom enough to go to that sort of bother, but I don't see why we should judge people for it.

Having said that, I dd judge the person who wrote the manifesto that she sent to the BBC, which was a copy and paste job from people's LJ pages, and I felt very angry that she used journals without permission, a lot had people's photos on them. Still those Save Ianto comms had over a thousand members, and I'm sure most of them were perfectly well intentioned and as horrified by that one woman as the rest of us.
