What is wrong with people?

Sep 24, 2018 12:31

I am no strange to the batshit craziness that fandoms can create. Some guy married his stuffed Twilight Sparkle plushie. forums have been shut down due to shipper fights. I think it's been at least a year that people want Dreamworks and Disney to make a crossover movie to put characters from Guardians, Frozen, and How to Train Your Dragon ( Read more... )

I think I already told you about this one batshit nuts Harry Potter fan (adult) whom I had to unfollow because she started claiming to have actual magic powers and calling people "muggle trash". backing away slowly....

At least she wasn't telling people how to write or denying the last several decades of how fanfiction terms work or how fanfiction itself works.

People like that crack me up. THEY don't know what they're talking about. The whole point of fan fiction is that it's just that; FICTION written by the FANS. It's completely open to interpretation. When a show/series ends, the fans sometimes like to write "what-if" continuation stories to keep the show alive. (Myself included) There's NOTHING wrong with that. If people stuck to canon, it would be pretty boring, IMO.

Fans have been writing 'What-If stories' since the 80's (at least). Plus, this comment came from fans of a series that often wries What-Ifs for itself. It often deals with alternate timelines and realities. Why a fan would say 'don't do what the show does' is beyond me, especially when they want to lecture someone about it.' they also compared it to art, which makes no sense either. the only person who would complain if you made the USS Enterprise, but in rainbow colors would be Janeway.
