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*

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

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

The second? Hell, could be anything.

*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.

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*

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.

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*

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! ;)
