Hello

[arrmaitee]

I know - it has been ages since I've posted on my LJ. Heck, I still haven't even posted my thoughts on JK outing Dumbledore... *shudders*

Anyway, I hope all is well in the fandom since I went on hiatus a few months back. Anyone care to fill me in on what's going on?

Actually there was a lot of wank over gay Dumbledore. And Steve Vander Ark was an even bigger ass than he had previously demonstrated himself to be.

Here are my posts about DumbleGAYte (I totally just thought of that!):
Brief, initial reaction, before I knew there'd be a big controversy

My response to all the people claiming that it wasn't appropriate on the grounds that JKR didn't reveal any other character's orientation. Seriously.

And one more from me.

Here are posts by other people that also make very good points:

Then Steve Vander Ark is an ass, which people started out saying with the qualifier that it was an unpopular opinion in fandom but I'm pretty sure absolutely everybody agreed with it.

And I posted these awesome pictures of my cat. Now you are back up to speed on the internets.

(Gah, edited to fix html typo)

Thanks for the update. I love the fact that Dumbledore is gay is the subject of massive wank. As for Steve Vander Ark, he's a total ass. He should have gotten the rights to publish the book. The last thing we need is J.K. shutting down the fandom to protect her copyright and trademark rights.

Is Equus going to NY?

BTW - the pics of your cat are great!

Good to hear from you. I've tried to avoid teh wank. It only varied in terms of its vileness.

[arrmaitee]

So how have you been?

[kitzen_kat]

Busy busy busy. I have theatre reviews to write by next Monday and I've only written one so far.

I... I have some news, Arrie! But it's from a totally different perspective than the other people have been giving and I don't want you to get offended. It's not exactly wank, but it's just... different is all.

May I, my friend?
