Adapting to fandom and other thoughts

[misscam]

Life. Blah. I shan't bore you with details, but BLAH I say. Blah!

First package of Who merchandise has arrived though, so yay. And customs didn't tax me after all, so thank you, state of Norway. Wee Ten is now mine, as well as the books (signed, not bad). Course, what I really want are the audio books, which are read by David Tennant, but not out till early July. BBC is such a mean tease.

Meanwhile, a question for you Brits - I have heard good things about Life on Mars, and it is very soon out on DVD - so should I fork over yet more money to the BBC and get it? Any other recs while at it?

And the answer to how far you can push the line in Supernatural fandom is... Not that far.

Doctor Who fandom - at least my corner of it - hasn't really had anything much in that vein, though there was a bit of a rapefic bruhahaha at GAFF. Humhum. I have noticed that my own lines have shifted a bit, though. Years ago I was all "RPF is wrooooong!", now I'm all "eh" and find it creepy at times, but mostly just whatever floats one's boat (or as I said to vaskalcorp today, "let he who is without kink throw the first stone"). Does fandom adapt you, I wonder?

So apparently Bush snubbed the Norwegian PM

*eyeroll* Always nice to be reminded how wee we really are. Of course, watch the US tell us we should increase oil output again next week. Then we're suddenly important. Hah. Bite me, Bush. I'll give you socialism germs.

And finally, for today's meme: In your fandom(s) of choice, what is the line you think most of the fandom would react badly to being crossed and why? Or has it already occured? I am curious.

RPF squicks me. I think Sue RPF I don't have a problem with (one of the only times Sues don't) since that's pure 'if I could meet them and have Teh Hawt Smex', which is fair enough and in many ways a darn sight more honest and easier to cope with than bampfing themselves into Rivendell so they can snog Legolas (or whatever).

It's the RPF stuff that involves 'interaction' between actors that gets me. Probably cos I've been in the business and know how freaked I'd be if that was done to me. I'd be pretty freaked by the Sue stuff too, but I would understand it on some level.

Oh, and re. your meme: I think just about anything and everything has happened in LOTR, and not all in jest, sad to say. I could think of so many things that have 'crossed the line' - Nazgul porn and Legolas shagging orcs being top among them.

Nazgul porn

Hey, I resemble that remark. :D

Why aren't more people doing it?

Nah, this is a Nazgul in tropical Rohan with a Sue: click at own risk - the rudeness (and the badfic) lie in wait

The author said it was meant to be humourous, but the 'sexual humour' tag only got slapped on once critical reviews came in. This was my first MST - Eomer will never forgive me for it, poor man. He got horribly, horribly drunk.

Eh. RPF tends to wigg me out when it touches on families of actors and such, people who are not in the public eye much. Like fics where Orlando Bloom is abused as a child or what-not. Depends a bit what I find to be the author's intent with it all as well, with me.

Ewwww! Okay, you win. That's worse.
