( the worst part about the MCU is pretty much the fandom )
And, finally, because it doesn't have to be all about the bitchery:
The Odd Couple - Chapter 4: It is a truth universally acknowledged that with great battles come great mess.
I'm trying to decide exactly how this ends up and whether I can get it done by the end of Captain Hill week on Tumblr.

andveryginger is here and we have had many highly enjoyable discussions about life, fandom, the universe, and the Miss Fisher Mysteries.

I know what I'm doing. I really really do. You don't have to interrupt my conversations with other people to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
Really.
I may not be totally on the ball, sharp as a tack, and poised to leap, sir, leap into action, but DAMMIT I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! And I don't appreciate being instructed on how to do things that I already know how to do, especially when I haven't asked for your input.
extremely disgruntled,
S.

"Some concerns" ≠ "never ever write this"
Being asked to be thoughtful is not censoring free speech, harshing squee, or pissing in the sandbox.
It is not more oppressive to be asked to be considerate of others than it is to be the subject of systemic oppression.
Write whatever the fuck you like. But write it with thoughtfulness and respect for those for whom your "fictional situation" is a fact of daily life.
If you don't write it with thoughtfulness and respect, expect to get called on it.
Getting called on your lack of respect is far from the worst thing in the world that will ever happen to you.
Embarrassment and regret are not terminal. Nor is apologising.

Okay, other than the fact that your three attempts over two years at getting this system live FAILED like a big flaily faily thing.

Yanno, I freely admit to being a bitch, having certain prejudicial opinions about fandom and fanbrats and all that.
But I'm really not liking the fandom 'players' in my preferred 'ship leanings. They're acting like teenaged twerps although I'm pretty sure some have children, and others claim to be over forty. Moral twerpitude, mayhaps?
Also, why is it that romance promptly causes a person's brain to dribble out their ears? Why can there be no stories featuring staid, sensible characters, who wouldn't make a declaration of love if their lives depended on it (and even then, perhaps only with a za'tarc machine in the wings)? The romance genre is about gushy, mushy twu wuv, but when we're talking about fanfic, it's also about keeping the twu wuv in character context.
I'm tempted - seriously tempted - to try write a fanfic for every ship and slash in the fandom featuring in character depictions of the characters. I want to be able to look at the stories I've written and the characters I've shown and be able to say, "Yep, that's the Sheppard/Weir/McKay/Teyla/Ford/Bates/Zelenka/Whoever from the show, and they're actually attracted to this other character!"
Of course, then comes the issue that I don't know if I could. I'd like to believe that I could write that many variations and keep them true to the characters on the show, but that might just be the ego speaking.
Oh yeah, and to certain persons in the fandom? Oy! You! Outta my fandom! You're making my pairing look bad!
