I will say, though, that the sort of appropriating behavior s/he talks about is utterly endemic to Harry Potter fandom in a way that SGA doesn't even begin to approach.

Oh, certainly, SGA is on the relatively small scale compared with HP, but then, HP has become the defining infanity for all fandoms.

There's a part of me that sympathises with people who prefer their own fanon conception to canon, and there's a part of me that wants to smack them and tell them "bloody well get over it, you idiot!"

And it's not as if I've never done some back-end fanwanking of my own, but at least I recognize what I'm doing.

There's reaction posts - that I get. Reaction is something that few people can control, and in such a spooge-able environment as LJ, blowups are more common than in face-to-face.

And then there are campaigns to make a show fail, or people who insist that nothing beyond one's happy place exists, or who claim that one's own version of the canon is superior simply because it happens the way the fan wants it to happen...
