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.

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*.

Your icon!

Once upon I time, I liked engaging in this sort of thing. Now I'd rather just sit on the sidelines and wait for May sweeps. Or for the madness to pass. Or whatever. Shouldn't these people all be off reading Remix stories or something?

HAHAHAHA!

omg. yes.

The part of that metafandom post that killed me was how I *felt* like an old fandom hag where not only was I judging the topic, but also the level of the debate! This is pathetic. I fire myself.

It's always the same arguments, over and over again. The first go round? Potentially an interesting introduction to certain concepts. But by the time somebody reinvents the wheel I'm so over it.
