Characters' fandom personas
Stolede off Nos:
Name some characters and speculate about their fannish activity.
-The Doctor writes very silly and very puerile porn that's in no way realistic. His metaphors are appalling (there are lots of quivering petals and straining shafts) and it basically looks like he co-wrote it with Terrance Dicks. His companions look up to him with adoration and he's the most clever being in the entire universe who always saves the day and has witty quips to spare. Has written 459 Handy/Rose fics on Teaspoon and has had every single page illustrated by fangirls with sugary manga. Has only a passing acquaintance with apostrophes, thinks vaginas can be shaved and ends every sentence with an ellipsis and a plea of "pls reviev or ill not wriet a sequal lol ^__^".
-Avon tries to write badass action adventure with Byronic heroes, evil whores and pump-action shotguns. He holds the world record for the number of Mary Sues he's tried to pass off under different names. This fic is loved by adoring housewives and gets a huge number of hits because he's a BNF. Doesn't believe in the internet or democracy and distributes his fanfic through arcane, hugely expensive print zines.
-The Master writes about dashing anti-heroes who seduce and dominate their way across the universe and always win in the end. His plots make absolutely no sense and often end in confusing ways, but if anyone tries to beta for him or give concrit, he kills them instantly. His sex scenes are ridiculous and feature too much squicky torture to be actually arousing (pointy sharp things stabbed into rectums, genital mutilation, that sort of thing) and then he wonders why he doesn't get much feedback. He goes on Livejournal to cry about it and threatens people into commenting, even though most readers end up committing suicide after reading. If you've ever read a fic that was bad and squicked the living shit out of you and had a creepily intense tone to it, chances are that he wrote it. Has a secret sockpuppet identity under which he writes oldskool romance novel mush with horror themes. In them, he is the innocent, 19-year old girl who gets ravished by an immortal alien being who goes under the name Imminent Thunder and they hold hands a lot.
-Vila writes highly intelligent, witty and funny and touching fic but you'd never know it was by him because it's mostly gen. He's developed a fantastic sockpuppet identity on LJ and pretends to be a cat-loving ginger woman from New Zealand.
-Blake is the sort of BNF who organises fanclubs and conventions, runs major fan sites and who is slightly intimidating and scary. You don't say no to him. He hardly writes fic these days, but he's got his fingers in lots of pies. Had a bad falling-out with Avon, after which fandom split into two factions. They still meet secretly in dodgy hotel rooms and have hot, angsty hatesex that's more epic than any fanfic ever published.
-Donna will give you concrit. She will not take any shit. The majority of fandom think she's an evil bitch for a) pointing out typos b) being over 30 c) not liking the same episodes you did d) being smart and bitchy and able to put her opinions into words e) multishipping. Consistently produces the best, funniest, wittiest, hottest fanfic in the fandom but doesn't get enough recognition because her pairings are more obscure. Has left fandom in a huff a few times but keeps coming back because you can't keep a talented girl down.
-Romana is the academic. She did her thesis on fanfic and online interactions and often takes part in convention panels and is incredibly level-headed and always makes the conversations interesting. Will engage you for hours discussing the radical feminist interpretations of Leela's knife habit and after a few pints, waxes lyrical over the sexiness of long stripey scarves and their use in bondage scenes. Writes novel-length, highly intellectual, stunning Time Lord/Time Lord porn that leaves you thinking for days.
-The Monk is only here for the booze and the girls. One of the few people in fandom with no social awkwardness whatsoever, guaranteed to be swinging from chandeliers at convention parties.
AAAH, STOP ME, OR I WILL GO ON FOREVER.
