Damn girl

that's a compliment I swear. WoWP is honestly the only show on Disney I like anymore and one of the reasons was the relationship between Justin and Alex. The chemistry David and Selena have is off the charts and it's almost a shame the show can't be on another network or something or like a soap opera cause maybe then they could become legit canon. But I'm quite content with the fanon and this manifesto explains perfectly why. You've really done your homework with all the fandom links much appreciated

[campfiredreams]

Thank you! We worked really hard on this (there were like 6 of us working together). The fandom links in particular is definitely a result of being overinvested in this pairing and wanting to find everything about them on the internet, so. :P

A great manifest with a good choice of pictures. Also your recs are amazing. :)

Fans who want to check out more fics could also look through this tag in crack_van. In december I drove the van for this fandom and recced lots of Jalex fics.

[campfiredreams]

Omg, that tag is amazing! I dunno how I totally missed that. Also, I like how you basically wrote a ship manifesto of your own for the first post of it. :P

[lillian_raven]

Haha, I wished but I need to be neutral and show also Mason/Alex as an available pairing which was... hard. I can't stand the pairing. :s

Hope you find some great fics. :)

[campfiredreams]

Don't worry, you don't need to apologize for hating Alex/Mason. That pairing (by which I mean Mason) deserves every amount of haterade poured onto it. Mason is a creepy stalker with anger issues who doesn't respect Alex or her boundaries, and that shit's not okay, even if the show bizarrely tries to portray it as okay. There are plenty of ships that you're perfectly right to be neutral on (Justin/Juliet for example) but Mason/Alex is not one of them.

Well. I'm interested now.

Wow. Spectacular and convincing manifesto with an awesome balance of words and visuals (also of Doylist and Watsonian perspectives). I really enjoyed reading it!

[knuckles313]

when talking about this show you kind of have to speak and bounce around in both perspectives, because executive meddling and actor relationships have so much involvement with how the show played out.

Wow! The manifesto is even better than I imagined, reading this made my day! The text and the pictures are put together so well and you guys who worked on this deserve a big applause. I really hope that more people start to understand Jalex now and that they check out the show if they haven't before.
