F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


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 recaptchas 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!

(Today's post is below.)

Ugh Self-Righteous BNF

(Anonymous) 2014-04-13 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a BNF in my fandom ship that was like THE go-to for fics, and then one day she decides she hates the fandom, the ship, and all her fic so she takes all her fic down. That's cool, it's her prerogative, whatever. She asks people not to share her fics if they have them saved. Again that's cool, and I thought the person blatantly going against her wishes deserved to be called out.

But at the same time the BNF is just SO high-handed, it's ridiculous. I've witnessed her and another member of fandom start a petty fight with yet another member of fandom and the whole thing was ridiculously juvenile. BNF's outlook on the fandom and its characters (particularly the main one) isn't the end-all be-all and acting like it is is insulting to everyone else who still actually likes the ship. The worst part is she's convinced another prominent member of fandom (who I thought was my friend) of the same thing and it really rubs me the wrong way.

I haven't said anything b/c I don't want to start the drama that BNF and all her acolytes will bring, but sometimes I just want to yell GET OVER YOURSELF!

Okay, glad to get that off my chest.

Is your fandom big enough to get away with naming names in an anon meme?

No, it's fairly small. Sorry. I think I've said enough as it is.

It's a very small subset of MCU.

I know exactly who this is about. I agree.

If you do actually know who I'm talking about then I'm glad I'm not the only one. It seems like everyone else in the fandom worships the ground she walks on.
