neadodsRemember when I asked "does this make me famous or does this make me fandomwank?
The answer turns out to be fandomwank.
I hope the folks mining my LJ for wankability enjoyed the boring stuff about my cold and my cats.

Date: 2005-03-22 10:29 pm (UTC)I just sat in on a panel about fanfic this past weekend, and started things off with the lovely "It's illegal. Stop arguing legal points. let's move on to morality." And still people wanted to argue the gray points of legality. How many times can I say "the courts have already spoken, and it's been ruled illegal by several different standards" before you realize I'm not just wanking you?
Don't answer that. It's too depressing.

That makes some folk just want to be contrary.
Which I totally get, having, you know, done that in the past. But it seems like they've made a booster club (or a fandom ;) out of it, which boggles me.

Surely after enough people discuss it and then fandom wank has shown their supercilious superiority by discussing them, you will be broken and crawling to beg the forgiveness of the offended fandom, and you will realize that the only way, the only good and moral thing is to admit that there is no right or wrong, there is only whatever the fandom wants to do and That's Okay By You.
Or maybe we'll both be tilting at windmills next con. Whaddaya think, should I suggest a RPF/RPS panel at Shore Leave just for the fun of the kaboom?
