Crazy people rant
Jul. 17th, 2006 10:03 pmI 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.

Date: 2006-07-18 03:01 am (UTC)Does this sound good? (I suck at posting. I always write really long posts and delete them right before I post them/right after I post them. I'm bad at it)
I was wondering, what are people's reasons for hating the season2 spoilers other than that their marriages to fictional characters are ruined? I mean actual, in depth, logical reasons about the brother's relationship or just how you feel about the show. Because, lets face it, none of us are ever going to marry Sam or Dean, and some of you must have actual reasons why you dislike the idea of a love interest for Dean in next season.

Date: 2006-07-18 03:07 am (UTC)Okay, a lot of times I'm shamed for my fandom, but this is a more extreme case. I still cannot conceive why these spoilers have caused such a violent fuss. The irony is half of these people have WRITTEN this character at some point in time in their fanfic.
If she's done well I wouldn't mind an OTP for Dean at all (since he seems to be the one everyone is thinking Alex is going to sink her evil female claws into). Let's face it, I LIKE OTPs. Yes, but what about the brotherly chemistry. Well, the last time I checked she wasn't riding in the back seat of the car. Sheesh.

And of course appropriate spoiler cuts and what not.

Let's face it, I LIKE OTPs.
Me too. It has potential for drama and conflict and that's always good.

Date: 2006-07-18 04:21 am (UTC)This is why their is fanfic. If you don't like a new character, write her out of the show. Kill her off in various entertaining ways that allow you to pair yourself up with your character of choice in the process. Completely ignore her existence. But get over it.
Mockingly, Me
I wouldn't be surprised if the new characters suck, since Supernatural isn't exactly the most amazingly well-written show in the world, but it's kind of ridiculous to go to these lengths to avoid them even being on the show. People are crazy...
