Brendon needs an adult, and so do I
In the most recent update at Fandom Wank, the OP says:
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the Pötterdämmerung is sending wanks ahead of it, paving the way for its coming. And then it will descend upon a fandom ripe with paranoia and ready to go up at the smallest spark.
And hahahahahaha, oh God, it's kind of true. *cries* Last week, my roommate asked if I was going to go watch the House season finale, and I just GROANED, because - hiatus is only just beginning, y'all! School is letting out! The last HP book is being released! And that's coming after FanLib, the Mary Jane maquette, and Strikethrough '07. This is going to be an interesting summer to be a (LJ-based, slash, media) fangirl, I have a feeling. In the "interesting times" sense of the word.
Remember a while back when I said I wrote a long-ass meta post and LJ ate it? Well, I'm not going to retype it, because a) I'm lazy, and b) I have a feeling it might have been slightly inflammatory, and I'm not really interested in that nonsense. Everything I write lately comes out clumsy, which is probably a result of finals. But here's the link I would have ended it with: metabib. Because Due South is an old fandom - in terms of age of fandom, age of participants, and participants' level of fannish experience - and because bandslash isn't, and because that adjustment has been a little weird for me. It seems to be a lot of people's first fandoms, actually, or at least their first outside of HP, which is not a very rooted community. And hey, I believe in knowing your history.
Also, GIP. I love gandolforf's icons THISMUCH.
Uhhhhm what else is new. Let's see. My absolute favorite thing in this world is really well-written fic with a wretched, clichéd premise, but THAT'S not news. See: Take Center Stage And Step Up to Save The Last Dance (He Was A Sk8er Boi). GOD, YES. I want all the fic in the WORLD that is based on awful teen movies and romance novels! I could read well-executed clichéfic for the rest of my life, exclusively, and I'm not even ashamed.
OH HMMM MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE I'M EXCITED ABOUT, BUT IDK WHAT IT IS. HUH. SOMETHING - THAT IS HAPPENING IN LESS THAN A WEEK? SOMETHING INVOLVING INTERNET FRIENDS AND EMO BOYS AND SHENANIGANS? IT IS ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE HONESTLY, PERHAPS I WILL REMEMBER LATER.
