...Fangirlism...

...and the worst parody ever. I'm serious. Ignore the writing, the writing is crap, the concept is what matters.



She wasn't always evil. There was some good in her, once. That's the tragedy of it.

Stacey sits in class, fiddling with her pencil. English bores her. She's thinking now of something that doesn't bore her: Lord of the Rings, and how hot Legolas is. And he's perceptive, too. Everything a teenage girl could want in a boyfriend.

She's never written a fanfic in her life. Never heard the word before. But suddenly, out of the blue, it hits her. She should write a story about Legolas! He needs a girlfriend. Someone perfect and special, who will love him as he deserves to be loved. She takes a blank page from her notebook and starts writing.

Bang.

Hannah never considered male pregnancy. On the other hand, the babies would just be so cute! They'd have Mulder's eyes! The idea forms in her head, unbidden.

Bang.

Ursula only reads het. Ever. She thinks Robin/Starfire is just adorable. But she stumbled across the site during a google search, and something about the warning intrigued her. It sounded so revolting, so kinky... and now she scans the screen, enthralled, as Slade has his way with Robin's helpless body.

Bang.

Michelle writes a fic involving a love triangle between the reader, Ryoma, and Tezuka-sempai. When fanfiction.net removes it, she cries and then uploads it to aff.net. She'll just have to add a lemon scene.

Bang.

Stephanie thought she'd only write one. It was a warning to perverts and innocent young girls who are threatened by them. But she's written one, and another, and another, and something about it is so exciting that just the thought sends her into shivers. She can't stop writing Linsey Lohan rapefics.

Bang.

Jessica giggles out loud as Cloud tells Aeris just how stupid a bitch she really is.

Bang.

Kelly writes non-con inc ped m/m. The abbreviations make her feel safe. If someone looks over her shoulder, they won't even know.

Bang.

She wasn't always evil. It was the snowstorm that did it. An accident of God that took away what mattered most to her: the contents of her harddrive and the complete set of Buffy Season Five DVDs. She wanted only one thing: revenge. Fandom_Wank spit her back out for being so damn hateful she nearly gave it cockblock. Now she cannot be controlled, and the good men of the world fear her very name.

The Saint of Fangirls blows the smoke from her sparkly wand. She is needed elsewhere.

...You know, thinking about it, fandom is like that Chick Tract about Dungeons and Dragons. You start out liking some characters or maybe a couple or two, then somebody introduces you to slash, then you read your entire way through a smut fic archive in a few hours, then you start writing your own fanfiction. Before you know it, you're trapped in a hive of scum and villainy. And you like it that way. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be fangirls!

(Was going to write out the unabridged Yaoi/Slash Fangirl as Feminist Sex Symbol argument, but I'm too lazy. Just think Sexy Librarian, except instead of taking off her glasses and becoming a slut, she takes them off to write stories about your childhood heroes having gay sex. It's the perfect topic for a hip-hop/trace collab. album! ...Says I.)

writing, fandom, fanwork
