When RL and fandom collide

[likeaglass]

You know what's really strange? When you find out that a girl, whom you don't like, is in fandom, and you don't like her there, either. Well, no, okay, she's not in fandom enough to dislike her personally in fandom. Um, if that makes sense. But her fic is there, and it is bad. It is bad, bad Remus/Sirius fic, and it makes me think of Fun with

Oh, I have a semi-similar experience. A girl I don't like but who I have to play nice with because one of my best friends really likes her friended me on lj, and I noticed that she has someone in fandom friended. Every lj entry she makes is so horribly pretentious that I kind of wish she'd write fic just so I could laugh at. Because it would be horrible.

Wait, no, I think I remember this? Um, I could be getting people mixed up cause it was when I'd first gotten an lj, but is this the chick who dressed up as Ginny and wrote crap like "Fall is like a man in a coat. I want to hang on to the tails. Don't go!"? Cause, yeah, that was bad, and she should definitely write fic to amuse us.

Yours is definitely worse than mine, though, cause I can totally just ignore her lj/horrible, horrible fic, but if your girl's got you friended, ugh. That sucks, cause then you can't politely pretend she doesn't exist in your fandom.

yes, that's the one! I filter her out of all of my posts and reading, but I still have to see her irl all the time. it sort of sucks. a lot.

[likeaglass]

I feel your pain D:

Is she that pretentious in real life? I don't think I could keep a straight face if she was.

I don't want *me* reading your necro. Please tell me that this is NOT a side-story to Undertaker!Snape.

[likeaglass]

Ahahaha! No, it's not. It was a drabble (Harry/Ginny, wtf?) for queerditch I did awhile ago. *pets* No necro for you, got it.

[likeaglass]

:D

I'm afraid every time I see her she'd just be thinking "crazy necro lady". Of course, as I don't like her, perhaps she'd go away 'cause of it, which would improve our relationship considerably :)

I shiver at the concept of fandom meeting the real world ... Not good. That's why I don't go round advertising my fics. Harry/Fenrir is for established fandomers only, not RL bints that might stumble in.

[likeaglass]

Oh, definitely, Harry/Fenrir is something that one must work their way up to :D

I just try to keep my mouth shut about fandom outside of lj, so if anyone I know in rl finds the journal, they'll just think it's coincidence. (Which actually sounds really stupid, now that I think about it, cause really, how many Acadias are there? Hmm.)

oh man i hate when people i dislike are in my fandoms. they don't deserve to be in it. alas...
