Eh, whenever Carlos is mentioned Cecil gushes. He isn't in every episode though so maybe? But he's at least mentioned... every three episodes? Four? Something like that I think.

Ah, so you haven't heard the podcast yourself? I would stay with your first impression. The romance is still a small part. It took a year for Carlos to even reciprocate Cecil's feelings and that was in-between episodes where he wasn't mentioned at all. I think there's only one episode solely dedicated to him and that's because it's the date episode.

I waffle about it. It's actually been up in a tab for the last two weeks so I'm probably inching closer to listening to at least a couple of episodes.

Part of the reason that I'm leery is that I loathe the wank and the apparent need of the entire fanbase to tattle about X's Non-Party Line Opinions or Y's Image of Carlos or Cecil or Whatever that doesn't *exactly* match mine. Plus, I like to write rare pairs and I always post everything I write under the same name. So yeah, if I get into WTNV I'll get figuratively stoned at some point.

Ah, well, I hope you like it but if you don't that's okay too. At least you tried it, you know?

Ah, I understand. Really, it's all about who you follow. Now, I know some people here on F!S are out of the loop because they only follow nice people who are into Night Vale. The only reason I'm in the loop is because I wade through the tags and major Night Vale blogs so I can find ALL OF THE ART. Seriously, I reblog a lot of Night Vale art, normally from the source. (Let me even check it. Yeah, I have 827 things in my Night Vale tag. Mostly art.)

So really, if you wanna avoid the nastiness in fandom, because yes, it's there, then you need to choose who you follow carefully and not venture into the tag a lot. (Or at all maybe. Set your own comfort level.)

As for writing rare-pairs... I do know that people have written Cecil/Steve Carlsberg and even done art of it. A popular headcanon is that they had a bad break up and that's why Cecil is always nasty about him on the show. I know one of the most popular fics in fandom is about a minor character and an OC. I think the only backlash you would get is if you made Cecil or Carlos straight. I think they're gay but it's also possible they're bi. But if you make them straight people will throw a fit. Hmmm, if you ever get into it and need advice on a specific pairing you can come to me if you want. I don't mind. I mean, I'm wading through the wank anyway; I might as well use this knowledge for something.

But yeah, whatever you want. If you try it, like it, and want to be in fandom I say good for you. If you need any help I'm here. If you try it and don't like it that's also a fine decision. If you never try it, well, you can do that too. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks! That's super nice of you! (And it's somewhat comforting to know that, should I get bitten by the WTNV bug, I've got a guide on hand.)

And kudos to you for going the extra mile to re-blog from art sources! I know that bothers artists and I don't blame them! I'd throw a fit if a fic of mine started making the rounds on Tumblr without my name attached to it.

[forgottenjester]

You're welcome. It's really no problem. I'm there anyway. I might as well be useful.

Yeah, I try to be conscientious of that but also, I tag almost all my art by artist so that if I like a certain style or want to check if I already reblogged something from them I can just pop their name into my tag search and see. So it's also for selfish reasons. I will admit to slipping up sometimes and forgetting to tag or tagging the wrong person but it doesn't happen too often. (But it's also what make October killer because I was unsure if I was tagging artists right since all of them were switching their urls around to make them spooky.)
