I'm becoming increasingly impatient with fandom. No matter what form of media I enter, I still become amazed at how catty people can be, and how horrible writers these people are. One of the reasons I'm glad I left fanfiction writing was because my writing (which is okay) was often being placed on a pedestal next to some downright shitty writers (yes. I said shit. I said it again. Hah).
This is what my fandoms are like:
The Lord of the Rings:
LotR Fans: Hey! _____x______ are in passionate, heart-throbbing, groin-wettening love!
Sane people: But those are two men.
LotR Fans: Yes! Gay sex!
Sane people: But they marry females.
LotR Fans: Gay. Sex.
Sane people: But they're related.
LotR Fans: GAY. SEX.
Sane people: What are you, gay or something?
LotR Fans: No. But the characters are!
Sane people: ...have you ever gotten laid?
Harry Potter:
HP Fans: Baaaaaa.
Sane People: Huh?
HP Fans: Baaaaaa.
Sane People: Are you...making sheep noises?
Avatar: The Last Airbender:
Zutarian: MY SHIP IS BEST.
Kataang...er: NUH-UH, MY SHIP IS.
Maiko..an?: MAH SHIP PWNS JOO
Zutarian: Well, Kataangers are all so immature.
Maikoan: PEEPS U B DENI'N US CANON
Kataanger: Puh-leaze. My ship is the only real canon there is.
Maikoan: SPLAIN TEH FIRST EPISODES OF SEASON 3
Zutarian: Hah! You think you're the only ones with canon? Look at this and this and this...
Kataanger: THE CREATORS HAVE--
Zutarian: --THE CREATORS DON'T KNOW--
Maikoan: Y R ALL MAH LINES IN CAPZ N AIM SLANG?
*Choreographed dance!*
Sokka: Aren't they stupid, wasting all their time on those emo-kids instead of awesome people like us.
Ty Lee: Yeah, we're the only really cool characters in town.
Sokka: Wanna make out?
Ty Lee: Like, duh!
Yuekans, Sukkans, Tukkas, Zulees, Jet Lees, Kacest, Ty Aangs, Typhs, MaiLees, Tyzulas, Sokulas, Saankkas, Jetkas, Zukas: *attack*
AND THAT IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH AVATAR FANDOM.
