I should have known better. I ought not use The Internets to discover the opinions of other people. It always just ends up infuriating me

Firefly has the same problem as Buffy, albeit to a smaller extent: a really annoying fanbase, complete with 'ships' and 'slash' and all that internet drama. It ends up overshadowing what a DAMN FINE SHOW Firefly is.
Same reason I avoided Azumanga Daioh for so long, I'm sad to say - the fans creeped me out.
Fans do that to most things, unfortunately. Hell, some day, I might end up discovering that, as it happened, Dragonball was actually the best show EVAR (old meme ha ha)and I missed out just because the fans were all so dreadful. I doubt it, but it is theoretically possible. ^_^
Oh, and incidentally, Mrs. Married, I will award you a SPECIAL PRIZE if you can name any media of any kind which does NOT have slashfic somewhere. I stopped trying when my friend Moira pointed out that "Lake Placid" (as in the movie) slash fics existed. DESPAIR!
I will drink a gallon of lye if there isn't some twisted fuck out there who has written a ten chapter opus where Rachel Ray and the Barefoot Contessa sodomize each other with summer squash.

:::Cai Cai cannot weigh in on this "fans ruin everything" anti-slash discussion, as she reads more remus/sirius fiction than is right or healthful. But she does quietly contribute that the most disturbing HP slash fic she's ever seen involved Madam Maxime's hypothetical daughter and the Giant Squid from the Lake:::

First of all: That is *so* out of character. Crabbe and Goyle capable of *angst*? They aren't even capable of formulating sentences. No, a good (and I obviously use the term in a way heretofore unheard of) Crabbe/Goyle fic would be NC17 S and M all the way. With lots of blood, and...bleeding.
Secondarily: Specialists in the mental health field would probably quantify that amount as "pert near zero." Specialists in other fields would no doubt agree. Which is why I don't go to those sorts of parties.
And, as an afterthought: Upon reflection it occurs to me that the Maid Maxime/Squidy fic would not be classified as "femmeslash" or "het" but rather good (that word again) old fashioned "bestiality", for which I am thankfully unaware of any cutesy fandom term or acronym. :)

Those dog-humping skunkfuckers (and here I hope you will indulge me in a bit of colorful language, as I cannot think of a better term) in the furry fandom prefer the less "judgemental" term "zoophilia" to "beastiality" when discussing their animal-raping proclivities.
Just so you know. Should it ever come up in a conversation, you understand. I would hate for you to have an awkward moment at Anthrocon next year, should you decide to lose your mind and attend.
Of course, if you ever want to go to a furry convention, you have one in your back yard. http://www.morphicon.org/ If you want to go some year, we can attend INCOGNITO and plaster the walls with anti-furry propeganda from THE SOMETHING AWFUL DOT COM. I think that would be a royal HOOT.
I'm glad i'm not the only person who avoided DragonBall Z out of fear of the fans. They are all rabid.
FireFly...oh where to start with how great it is. Considering I've only seen four episodes and immediately fell in love with Mal's boots and cunning, not to mention Jayne..this show is quality. Count me in for the first showing.
My favorite wrong fanfic was one that I discovered of Harry Potter being in a loving relationship with the one armed Alex Krychek from the X-Files.

One time I read a Crabbe/Goyle angst fic. Now whenever I sleep, Byakhees tear at my brain with their unwholesome talons.
