insanenekoI foolishly ventured into the LJ of a rabid fan of an important but not main character in a certain series. Oh, what a mistake. I love fangirl histrionics even while wincing when it gets bad. I've done my share of rants about something or another, but the sheer DRAMA associated with the "What is the (idiot) author/artist doing to this obviously wonderful, special and perfect character??!!! Why does the creator of the character not understand him? OH WHY?? I must WITHDRAWL from the fandom if this TRAVESTY continues!" is just...yeah. Suuuure, you know better. But then, at least they are doing the worst of it in their own LJ and not subjecting any comms to their tantrum (I hope).
I also, against my better judgement (okay, it was a lapse into insanity), read an AU Loveless fic. Another mistake. First off, she was attempting to write in a particular elaborate style and was failing. Badly. Well, it was in the details...but everything's in the details. :P But beyond that, the story! The characterizations! Oh god. I think I'll stick to my policy of avoiding all Loveless fanfics...unless someone I can trust regarding their fanfic judgements recs one. And no pedophilia unless it's somehow beyond amazingly done. Unlikely, though.
