grumpy tiems
I have a lot of ~feelings right now about fandom in general--namely bandom and Inception. Part of it is that I have had a super stressful week and had like three hours of sleep last night and then my alarm didn't go off this morning and I was LATE TO WORK, but these are also things I've been mulling over.
As far as bandom goes, I'll just say it: Panic without Jon holds absolutely no appeal for me. Period. Zack's dickbag attitude toward fans asking about the new album release date just seals it for me. I may listen to the new music (whenever that is), but as far as being fannish about them, nope, no more. Also, Jon DOES NOT WANT BACK IN SIMPLY BECAUSE HE'S LISTENING TO PRETTY ODD AGAIN. Can the dude not listen to the music he wrote without everyone thinking he's "made a mistake"? Please give this guy more credit. And as irrational as it sounds, I have never liked Dallon. Ever.
Inception fandom, please keep this in mind: a fandom is only as active as YOU want it to be. All this doom and gloom about the fandom dying is not productive, especially considering that by "normal" fandom standards, this fandom is STILL FREAKING INSANE. There's absolutely no way any fandom, large or small, could sustain the amount of hyperdrive, warp speed momentum that was going on back in August and September. Everything slows down eventually, and frankly, I'm relieve things are starting to be manageable now, dear god. Yes, movie fandoms are notorious for being short-lived, but that doesn't mean they go away entirely. It's been pointed out on several occasions that Inception is not a normal fandom, that the canon is so open-ended and freer than the typical one-shot movie plot. Yes, there won't be anymore "new" canon being produced in the foreseeable future. Yes, the kink meme is slowing down considerably. But you know what? There are THOUSANDS of unfilled prompts. There are so many undiscovered ways to write these characters. There is still someone out there who needs to write the Pride and Prejudice AU.
I, for one, will continue to write stupid stories about stupid boys with dubious moral intentions for a while to come. If I'm the only one around to do it, then so be it. Although I will be very lonely and be forced to spam everyone with porn. :(
You know what, let's try this:
Leave a comment telling me what you love about Inception fandom. It can be your favorite writer, a favorite fluffy fic, or even just a general loving observation full of hearts.
I'll start: This fandom introduced me to the epic ridiculousness that is Tom Hardy. I don't think I'll ever recover from that.
