Warning: Strange STD Ravages Twilight Fandom
Warning: Strange STD Ravages Twilight Fandom
by winsomewords, a guest writer
You’ve no doubt been living under a rock if you haven’t noticed the latest craze sweeping the Twilight fandom off its collective, virtual feet.
It’s invaded icons, journals, comments, and pretty much every recommendation post you can find. In fact, some users complain they can’t even open up lion_lamb anymore without seeing some odd reference to a unicorn or cookie.
That’s right, Wide Awake is like the sexually transmitted disease of the Twilight fandom and unfortunately, no one had found a cure yet.
Who, pray tell, is to blame for the irresponsible spread of this STD?
Well, readers, the origin of this craze can be traced back to what seemed at the time to be an innocent recommendation made by lion_lamb mod, _transformed. Although her flist steadfastly blames her for what is widely referred to as the ‘WA Problem’, there are extenuating circumstances which have added to the phenomenon that should be taken into consideration before we lay this all on her.
I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed, but there is a strange quality that Twilight fans seem to possess almost universally: the ability to obsess. Granted, usually this unique talent is focused more on one Robert Pattinson, but occasionally, Twilighters turn their sights towards something else and for some godforsaken reason, they’ve chosen this particular fanfiction.
If we’re being completely honest, the only thing that seems to set Wide Awake apart from other fics is its extraordinary ability to use ‘fuck’ in almost every sentence and its odd propensity for cookies and unicorns. Apparently though, this is enough for legions of Twilight fans to worship the author in every way they can. Some even want her to publish the story. Others are content with merely feeding the author’s ego to the point of ridiculousness.
Now, I’m not asking you to denounce Wide Awake as the worst thing ever written in the Twilight fandom, because clearly, we all have come across more painful things. What I am asking you, is that please for the love of all that is holy in the world, stop spamming every Twilight post you can with obscure references to this fic because believe or not, some of us in the fandom really don’t care about this fanfic nor will we ever be compelled to.
So put away your icons and keep your comments about unicorns to yourself because on behalf of the fandom who didn’t like/aren’t interested in Wide Awake, WE ARE SO SICK OF IT.
