dangermousieI am not locking this, either. Just like badfic, this deserves to be mocked.
Oh My God. People have petitions and letter campaigns and everything against the new recurring female character on S2 Supernatural.
Get a life, freaks! Seriously. Fictional. OK. Fictional. Character you know little about. If she hooks up with a fictional character you like, which is always a possibility, calm yourself by repeating 'these are fictional characters. Ergo I can't date them anyway.'
Ugh. UGH. I have no idea if the character will be cool or will suck, but the attitude of loathing her on principle and making petitions just because OMG, she might mack on a fictional character you like is...crazed.
It reminds me of the loonies who had a petition for Joss to change Serenity in regards to Wash.
And last but not least yes, the invention and proliferation of interactive forums, conventions etc where fans can interact with TPTB, is a cool thing. But this isn't storytelling by collective. It's still what TPTB want. If you want everything according to your plan, write fanfic. Or better yet come up with a story of your own. You might not like the direction of the story, but to demand change is bizarre.
Ugh.
Now I am off to try to write to whoever created Ouran High School Host Club and tell them that I hate Haruhi and she should be transferred to China in the next volume because Tamaki, even though clearly fictional and actually a drawn collection of very attractive lines belongs to me in my imagination. Toodles.
