Not exactly ten unpopular fannish opinions, but i'm very, very, very bored. I do not mean the normal bored where ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
svmadelyn defensively pastes badfic into my Trillian window to shut me up, either. That way lies fic where someone gives someone an assbaby and later some people become hermits to avoid seeing anything like that again. Sometimes, we plot revenge against them, long-term and slow over a period of years that they will never see coming. Then with surgical precision we will close the trap around them when they least expect it and then, only then, will they understand how you couldn't crawl out from under your desk for a week and still can't gaze at your own ass without horror.
Ten true public statements we all believe with all our hearts--or do we??????
Notice the excessive use of question marks.
1.) You are perfectly okay with constructive criticism.
LIE: You want to hear good things. Those that do not tell you good things are tasteless barbarians and destined for hell.
2.) You are *fine* with being unfriended and do not take it personally.
LIE: You plot revenge, ask all your fifty closest friends what you did wrong, get despondent, and write goth poetry to your pain. Please. I've seen your notebook.
3.) You are good with everyone else's other pairings.
LIE: Other people's pairings that you don't share are stupid. Logic? What logic? They just *are*.
4.) You never tell friends about controversial locked posts they can't see that you can.
LIE: You totally copy the entire thing, post it in word, and send it to her and all your closest friends. All five hundred of them.
5.) You are above kerfluffles and do not read them.
LIE: You read them, you take sides, you sockpuppet, then you email all your friends and tell them to help out.
6.) You are mature and responsible when you get flames.
LIE: You post it to your LJ and mock the writer, invite others to do so, then compose long entries on their genealogy.
7.) You never mock badfic in private or in private locked LJ posts only shared with a few close friends.
LIE: Oh please. Your entire AIM buddy list, your aunt Margaret, and your best friend from kindergarten have been pasted pieces of this monstrosity so you can share the trauma.
8.) In all fannish arguments, you are the voice of cool, calm logic and reason. You respect other people's right to believe things you do not.
LIE: Are you kidding me? You kerfluffle at the drop of an adjective. People who don't agree with you are stupid. They need to be taught a lesson. And you, with your five hundred closest friends, will administer the spanking!
9.) You do not bother with stat counters on your webpage except to assure you don't go over bandwidth and to make sure that no one is hotlinking.
LIE: You totally check to see what is being read, where they are linking from, and what they're saying about you.
10.) You are fine when there is a locked post by someone you know that you can't see.
LIE: Oh my God, the lie. You find out who this person has friended, whine until they show you, and talk about how much you dislike filters, silently plotting revenge for being excluded.
I STILL DON'T FEEL INSPIRED TO WRITE PORN. GOD WHAT KIND OF A WORLD DO WE LIVE IN WHERE PORN IS SO HARD? COCK ASS BLOWJOB IT IS NOT HARD.

From:2) Mmmm - sometimes.
3) "Good with" 90% of the time. Seriously. But don't talk to me about Due South. Still painful after all these years.
4) I don't think I've ever divulged locked post info to anyone, but I could be wrong. However, that doesn't mean that I'm some paragon of virtue, though I'm trying harder and harder not to be someone who, uh, "shares". ;)
5) OMG I am so not above kerfuffles. I even go to kerfuffles sometimes where I don't know the owner of the lj and I don't even care about the subject JUST TO TELL THEM THEY ARE WRONG.
6) I think I've been flamed maybe three times in my whole internet life, as I a) don't write fanfiction and b) don't often post anything controversial. I must not be working hard enough.
7) AHAHHAHAHAHA - mock mock mockity mock mock mock!!!
8) I... it... No. I have rarely been the voice of cool, calm logic and reason. When I *have* been, I'm always kinda surprised at myself.
9) Nope, I have no counters anywhere and I don't look at bandwidth or check who might be linking to me. I probably should.
10) Hm. How do you know there's a locked post by someone you know if it's locked and you're not on the filter? I think I'd probably react anxiously, but (I hope) I wouldn't pressure someone into telling me. If I find myself doing that, I will now consciously stop myself.
So... let's say I am good with about 4.5 out of 10, counting #1 and 2 as half each, and # 10 as a maybe?
Interesting post...

From:LIE: Other people's pairings that you don't share are stupid. Logic? What logic? They just *are*.
This is me. All other pairings are silly, except the pairing I love, which of course, no matter what the fandom, is THE ONE TRUE PAIRING GODDAMNIT. For example, McKay/Dex? Seriously, Rodney would open his mouth, and after two minutes, Ronon would either be on the run again, or would have killed McKay, or both. And Sheppard/Beckett - PLEEEAAASEEEE - god, John can't even tolerate listening to Carson go on about his baby turtles, and also anyone with eyes can see that John is totally hot for Rodney Rodney AND ONLY RODNEY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE DO THEY NOT HAVE EYES AND WATCH THE SAME SHOW OHMYGOD...

From:Actually, I am most of the time. My betas will tell you that occasionally I dig in my heels about something, but they give me a few minutes to a few hours and then I'll discuss it rationally with them. *g*
2.) You are *fine* with being unfriended and do not take it personally.
I don't even know who has me friended. Well, with obvious exceptions of really close friends. I suppose if someone I considered a close friend unfriended me I might wonder why, but afaik that hasn't happened.
3.) You are good with everyone else's other pairings.
Like
4.) You never tell friends about controversial locked posts they can't see that you can.
Hmmm. I don't think I have. I'm so very much not about the drama.
5.) You are above kerfluffles and do not read them.
Not above them, but ninety-nine percent of the time they're more irritating than they're worth, so I make a point of staying away; I'm all about the Zen.
6.) You are mature and responsible when you get flames.
I...don't think I've ever gotten a flame.
Oh, wait! I did get an email once from a guy who said that my slash fic disgusted him and that I was going to be responsible for him killing himself. That was kind of WTF.
7.) You never mock badfic in private or in private locked LJ posts only shared with a few close friends.
Um. Guilty as charged.
8.) In all fannish arguments, you are the voice of cool, calm logic and reason. You respect other people's right to believe things you do not.
Well, I try not to get involved in fannish arguments anymore. I was never the voice of logic in the past, and when I get drawn into them nowadays I try to be cool and calm, but whether or not I succeed.... *g*
9.) You do not bother with stat counters on your webpage except to assure you don't go over bandwidth and to make sure that no one is hotlinking.
Don't have stat counters on my webpages. I do look at the "read" count on Wraithbait, but mostly so I can see what's most popular and get an idea of what works for readers. I've never looked at referrer stats or anything like that on my fic site.
10.) You are fine when there is a locked post by someone you know that you can't see.
See above, re: not about the drama.

2.) You are *fine* with being unfriended and do not take it personally.
Um, so much with the no.
3.) You are good with everyone else's other pairings.
Depends on the fandom. Sometimes yes, sometimes way the hell no.
5.) You are above kerfluffles and do not read them.
Bwa-ha-ha! *cough* Um. I may not take part, but boy do I point and laugh.
7.) You never mock badfic in private or in private locked LJ posts only shared with a few close friends.
*giggles* Nope, so not me.
10.) You are fine when there is a locked post by someone you know that you can't see.
Um, sometimes? Because I know that 90% of my locked posts are actually private locked notes only to myself, and so I figure other people do this too. But sometimes? When I see someone linking to a post in comments and that post is locked? I sooooo want to see it.

From:However, number 3 is my big lie. Intelluctually, I can see where many shippers of pairings I don't like come from, emotionally, I range from thinking they're weird to thinking they're completely insane. It also varies in intensity from fandom to fandom and sometimes even from parts of the same fandom.
In SGA I read both het and slash. On the het side, while I OTC Rodney, there are a few other pairings I will read if the mood hits me and I can handle any other pairing as a side pairing.
The slash side is a whole other story. I OTP John/Rodney hardcore. Pairings without John or Rodney I read only as side pairings. Pairings with John or Rodney paired with someone else I dislike on a scale that goes from Rodney/Crossover to John/Ronon.
There are times I feel like the only person in the fandom who finds John/Ronon to be the most boring and unsexy pairing possible and that includes Kavanagh pairings. I also think John would become bored with Ronon and Ronon would become frustrated with John in three months or less if they were ever to attempt a serious, long-term relationship.

From:Abso-bloody-lutely! It's not hot, it's not likely and it defies logic for exactly the reasons you state! I know this may sound weird in someone who has been reading slash pretty much exlusively for the entirety of her 6 years in fandom, but my pairings are *logical*, they really are. The only partner that makes sense for either John or Rodney is either John or Rodney (you know what I mean). I don't OTP them because it's hot, but simply because what I see on the screen (and going with the subtextual thing) makes any other pairing headscratchingly, mindbogglingly implausible. I find Ronon fascinating as a character and I can see how hot he might be deemed in some eyes, but I just do not get that vibe from him and more importantly I just don't get it from John. They like and admire each other, sure, but there's something there - or rather not there - that I personally believe creates a bit of a barrier between them. Long-term relationship? Never going to happen. And I can see why people want to go there, but I need a little more than hotness and *potential* to pair the two. I could go into all the ways John/Rodney works, but I don't need to, do I? Suffice to say that I hardcore OTP because I'm at heart a very logical person...*G*
