I really liked Voltron. It glossed over some things I wish it didn't (like Keith telling everyone what he'd discovered about himself! And Keith's own reaction to learning it) and I was really not a fan of the cliffhanger ending, but it was a very enjoyable watch. If only the fandom wasn't so batshit insane.
i need to find a cadre of sane people to squee about. I almost feel bad for my chocolate box request as it will probably expose the author to some of those fandom crazies if it gets written -_-
There's been some decent(ish) discussions on http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/ that I've seen, but it moves very fast at times so isn't really ideal for me, anyway. (I peeked around the tumblr tags *once* before backing away very, very fast. Wow, there's a lot of hate there)
Did you ask for Shiro/Keith? Or Allura/someone? Or insist on Pidge being a girl who uses female pronouns? Those all seem to incite certain corners of the fandom.
I asked for Shiro/Sendak with the possibility of dirtybadwrong things! There are so many things that set ppl off in this fandom... Darkfic is bad because omg do you support rape :V Shipping Shiro with a paladin is bad because eww adult + minor and also power dynamics and just... What? *Shakes my head* I get that these things are not endorsable in real life but... Man.
