OK. I had a busy week, I admit it. I haven't been paying as much attention to livejournal as I might have. But I just looked at this week's edition of

metafandom, and wow. Was it a slow week for television or something? Where did all the wank come from? Women shouldn't write from a male pov? Or should we? Are we really about to have slash vs. het again, complete with witty observations like, "Well, it seems to me that het fic isn't very good. Of course, I don't read much of it," and decent het writers with an attachment to fandom being classified as "atypical"? And we haven't even finished talking about whether slash is gay or not!

Please tell me that there will lots and lots of new television next week, so that we will all be backing away from the stupidity.

Ah, I think I love you.

It was a desperately slow week for television. And I'm boggled by the wank myself.

Oh, my God, I could go the REST of my natural LIFE without a return to the slash/het debate. Ye gods and little fishes.

Oh, as usual, dear.

Seriously! I feel like I've been sideswiped by a cement truck just reading the list of links. Ow, fandom, what the hell?

Wow, people are dumb.

It hurts me in my soul, man.

Also, hey, let's keep in mind that's "boyslash vs. het" because whenever someone says "slash is better than het" they sure as hell DO NOT mean femslash. That just doesn't even exist because there is no sex without cocks or penetration. *smiles* See, I have LEARNED things from fandom. Like that.

Also that Bill Adama completes Laura Roslin's soul and having his baby would make her pause about her pro-choice stance.

Why did you make me go read those?! *stabs eyes out*

ARGH. The slash vs. het debate. How I loathe that one...

Hopefully with March Madness about to wrap up, we'll have lots more TV to argue over soon. I hope!

Oh ye gods they didn't resurrect the old 'women shouldn't write from a male pov' *AGAIN*?! I got told that one (specifically that I couldn't write Blair Sandburg accurately because I was a woman ten years or so younger than him. *eyeroll*) going on ten years ago. Oy.

Remember when I used to defend meta-discussion as a valid form of participation in fandom?

Well, okay. I still think it's *valid*. But now I think it's *valid* and *boring*.

::goes, read list of links, blinks. rereads. backs away quickly, gets a beer in lieu of brain-bleach:: Holy fuck. Yeah, fandom hit some critical limit and went spare en masse.

Oh, well. ::amused:: If I only wrote from personal experience, my stories would be much more boring. And I'm not sure what a feminist is these days, and I doubt I ever was one. (I'm all in favor of people getting to do what they're competent at and like, though, regardless of gender, race, age, and/or species. Where does that put me, do you think?)

Here, though, have <a href="http://www.dueslash.com/archive/1183.html>link to a due South/Twin Peaks crossover</a> which I am, so far, greatly enjoying. {{hugs}}

the amount of pretension and sanctamoneous garbage floating around right now made me lower myself to their level.!!!

God, save us all from failed gender theorists.

Dude, I've been mostly AWOL on spring break, and I just. keep. banging my head on the wall. For the first time ever I refused to even look at

metafandom's post until it all blows over.

Are they all, like, nineteen or something? Or is there a two-year fandom watermark at which you are required to have the same idiot "ephianies"? And does this make us -- *gasp* -- Bitter Old You-Know-Whats? *g*

Check out

stoney321's LJ for a hilarious look at wank and kerfuffles in the Buffyverse.

upsy_daisy just informed me about this - I must have missed it - and dear lord, it's like some freaky clip show episode of The Internet: The Series. All we need is a good 1980's pop song to round out the full wank theme montage effect.
