Holy Hannah!

[webbgirl]

I know fandom isn't the most mentally or emotionally stable group at times. (Seriously people, you know that I'm right.) Recently though it's seemed to have gone to a whole new level of batshit.

There's one fandom with folks in angry denial about a temporary character that they've just met and who by all accounts won't be around for long. Then there's the other fandom list that has completely gone middle school with talk of cliques and hate mail and whining about pairings and people talking about the show instead of posting fics. WTF people???

Everyone needs to take about 10 deep breaths, step back and realize that this is a form of entertainment.

What fandom is this? *curious*

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

The first one is for Doctor Who and the second one is for NCIS.

[szeretni.livejournal.com]

OK; I get it, I've read the comments. :)
I loved the last episode, can't really see what's the big fuss about it. Unless they kill Donna, which they just won't. I hope. ;)

May I just say I'm glad we don't share any fandoms at the moment? ;-)

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

*hee* Like you've never had a batshit fandom though. *g*

[slb44.livejournal.com]

Never said or implied that. *g*

I'm not sure which is worse. SG-1 or House?

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

Ooo...I will say that SG-1 did a nice job of preparing me for the potential batshit in all other fandoms.

[slb44.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately it was nothing new to me by the time I latched on to SG-1.

However, the more I think about it, I'm pretty sure House has all my fandoms, past and present beat, big time for drama, wank and plain olde freak-outs.

[rainfletcher.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I'm guessing the first is Doctor Who, regarding the Important Person From The Future?

The second? Hell, could be anything.

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

Yes on the first one. The theories I'm seeing from some folks are just outrageous.

The second is a Yahoo mailing list for NCIS. They've gone a little 'round the bend.

[wadjet-theperv.livejournal.com]

Is it the slash list? I'm really glad I'm not on that anymore. It was going to pot and the fic was going down the tubes :o(

If it's DW I'm guessing it's probably Alex Kingston's character and I'm thinking it might be a future him (given that he doesn't give his screwdriver away). But at the end of the day I really don't care that much LOL

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, the slash list. I don't really read it much more but just hadn't gotten around to taking myself off the list.

On the DW one, I've even seen theories that she's really Jack with a gender and face change.

[wadjet-theperv.livejournal.com]

Good grief.

Although, this is Rusty, or rather this is Steve Moffat. Anything could happen, although I think I'd give him more credit than that!

Glad you got home safely. :o)

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm surprised I'm still awake.

I had a great time. Can't wait until I can come back again.

[szeretni.livejournal.com]

O-O

[rainfletcher.livejournal.com]

Oh, and many bonus points to you for using Holy Hannah. Always makes me happy to see old comics lines trotted out. (Like referring to an old friend as "Old Friend," which pretty much no one does in real life.)

[sffan.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. Yahoo mailing lists. Did I ever tell you about the time I was on the SG-1 mailing list that was so anti ANYTHING not Jack/Daniel that if anyone even mentioned Jonas in passing they'd pretty much be splattered with rotten tomatoes? And let's not even get started in on Sam. Oh, Yahoo, fun times. Only so not.

[wadjet-theperv.livejournal.com]

I know fandom isn't the most mentally or emotionally stable group at times.***

*nods* Uh huh.

Doesn't matter what the fandom though, there are those in it who haven't had enough *real* tragedy in their lives.

Fuckwits.

[ximeria.livejournal.com]

I'm amused with the DW fandom -- We're talking a double parter of which none of us have yet seen the 2nd one -- anything could happen there *sighs*

I don't know why they don't learn from the series itself. There's no reason for OTP when someone will live for centuries *grin*

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

I was kind of surprised (though I'm not sure why) at some of the reasons people have chosen to dislike the character.

[scarletts-awry.livejournal.com]

Speaking of, do you know what's going on with NCIS the show? (I am completely out of the loop, and I promise not to bring wank.) I mean... that whole Disbanding of the Team thing is going to be fixed, right? (I assume it is, but I am also afeared. And very very much out of the loop.)

But yes, I feel you on fandom's level of batshit, in general. Lately I've been having days where my flist annoys me so much I kinda want to do a massive cut to it.

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard anything yet on what may or may not happen next season. I've been slightly out of the loop as well.

I'm hoping one of two things happens:

1) That the team all ends up back together as they were meant to be.
2) That Tony finally gets his own team like he deserves and that they follow both of the teams for the show.

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

I tend to believe it's a hiatus, bringing out the crazy in people.

(well, okay. some fandoms have always had the crazy.)

Now I'm terribly curious, though, because I'm so out-of-the-loop on most of NCIS fandom. I can't even see the loop from here! *g*

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

The crackhead list has always had a special brand of crazy, but yeah I think the hiatus tends to heighten it a bit.

There have been about 4 or 5 days of posts on the list about cliques and people leaving and what should or shouldn't be posted, blah, blah, blah.

The part that really got me was the person complaining about the round robin going on because it's not all Tony/Gibbs and they might have to read other 'squicky' pairings like Tim/Tony. *cough*

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, cliques! Accusations of cliquery are, like, the migraine aura of Godwin's Law about to be demonstrated.

The part that really got me was the person complaining about the round robin going on because it's not all Tony/Gibbs and they might have to read other 'squicky' pairings like Tim/Tony. *cough*

Well, really. Who the hell would want to read that? *carefully picks icon*

Happy birthday on Thursday!

[webbgirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[enchantersnight.livejournal.com]

LOL OK have read comments and know you are talking about 1, DW and 2, NCIS Starting with NCIS I am still waiting for new series,the last I saw was Tony getting in a car with "the frog"

As for DW I like Alex Kingston and am just intrigued with who she is, it would be great if she was Romana (but wouldn't he have known?) who is this "peron from the future" mentioned (or is that another way of saying Alex's character? Anyway I can't wait to find out.

The only thing I will say is that I damn near slept with the light on last Saturday night and am having second thoughts about setting foot in libraries (which for a bookworm is a serious deal! ;)

[brandinsbabe.livejournal.com]

LOL at fandom= you crazy little thing.

i have no clue which ones you are referring to (i might know what the first one is actually) but it sounds like a blast. i just love to sit back and laugh at.

ps. i havent watched silence in the library yet so...yeah im trying to avoid all talk of it and dont even really know whats going on. but i can only imagine. hahah
