You know, I should just stay away from boards; I'm far too easily irritated by other people in fandom. But I was browsing some Alias spoilers, and one of the shippy posters referred to Lauren Reed (the new Mrs. Vaughn) as Fowley 2.0.

I knew I was going to like this character. Now it's official. I haven't even seen a picture of her, and I already adore her.

Defenders of Other Women Everywhere! The scorned lover, the lonely secretary, the plot device - the Harem comes to their aid!

And yet at the same time I can't help watching the really devoted shippers wailing and moaning about the destruction of their beloved show.

Oh yeah, because the introduction of a new female is the ultimate harbinger of doom. I don't blame you - I still get fascinated by the barbieshippers who spam me for writing Diana fic. Fascinated and annoyed. It does make my head spin that they still have enough venom to move on to other fandoms and continue the insanity.

Bwahahaha! You very nearly made me laugh out loud.

I don't really think that things will get quite as vitriolic as they did over in XF, but you never know. We'll see, if I ever get my act together and write Reedfic--you know, I've never been flamed for a fic. I feel positively left out.

Yeah, in XF, it was five years in and sometimes it seems like Diana's introduction was *meant* to piss people off. I watch "The End" and can't help but think that ol' CC was a sly dog, even more so than Joss. But shippers seem to stay shippers no matter the fandom - this will be interesting to watch.

This could be your chance! Sympathetic Other Lover posted strategically practically guarantees it.

Especially if you actually show the sex. I believe it was Sophia or Jintian (probably Sophia, thinking about it) who took the plunge and wrote the first Scully/Doggett, and posted it unlabeled. Thus resulting in a fairly blistering flamewar.

I have yet to be flamed, sigh.

[vaznetti]

I still shudder when I remember this, and all the other Doggett-related flamewars. And we were so peripheral, over in Krycek-fic land!

Luckily, I'm not good at smut. Or love, now that I think about it. But it's the principle of the "we hate her for getting in the way of our preciousss ship!" thing.

Excuse me?

You're wrong. Okay?

Topic? Oh, ships and shippers, yeah. I think adultery's hot, personally. Fictionally speaking, I mean. And mothers and daughters doing the same guy, and like that. Is there a thread on TWoP for that?

I'm just sayin'.

[maidenjedi]

Someone has to brave unchartered waters, I guess. Was it really Sophia? I can't remember anymore.

I'm not brave enough for the sex, but then, I've just had to put Diana in the headers to get flames. She's like gasoline to a flame, that one.

Write Reedfic and I'll write you a massive feedback missive to go with the flames. It's a promise. If she does more than navel gaze and actually shows Vaughn physical affection, that's even better.

[vaznetti]

To really get flamed, I'd have to have Vaughn showing affection to her. After Sydney's return from the dead. I think I may have to wait until I've seen the character in action, but I really, really want to write her, just on principles.

Do it! Do it!

<--don't even know who you're talking about, but I am all for Loving Other Women and this one seems like a natural :)

I say we should get this poor woman honorary membership over at the Harem. I suspect she's gonna need it.

Damn, I knew there was a reason I was already polarizing to be *not* a Syd/Vaughn fan. Now I know why. M/S flashbacks! *G*
