Dear Anon ( 173.18.209.224 ),

There is so much more to life than letting some fictional characters, or people liking what you don't like, ruin your day. Isn't fandom large enough for us to be where we want to be, to think what we want to think, to love what or who we want to love?

Cheers,
L

I agree with you 100%! There's way too much hate going around...

*huggles*

That message is for myself, too. I've been letting that comment get on my nerves, and well, time to move on!

Thank you, darling Muni *HUGSHUGSHUGS*

Well said. This fandom is a scary place at times.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Live and let live, right? Heheh, I hope I didn't sound err, preachy :))

*sigh* The downsided of some (read most) fandoms is so frustrating and pointless. *sighs again*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I miss the old days when there was no internet and no fandom. Only sometimes though, because fandom has been mostly FUN!

Well said, my dear!

You know when I first got into this fandom, I was impressed there wasn't a whole lot of ship wars here like I've seen at other places. Unfortunately things are changing and getting a little out of hand lately.

Personally, I'm a firm "Dean/Sam=OTP" person, but that doesn't mean I get mad at those who writes Dean/Castiel, nor would I take issues with those who writes Sam/Ruby, Sam/Jess, etc. In fact I know some of them are mighty good writers, and have seen their works recced by numerous discerning readers.

I wish those who toot their favorite character would raise valid arguments instead of spewing nonsensical tirades. In my experience, fans' bad behaviors reflect poorly not only on the actor they worship, but also the character s/he plays.

Finally I have to say when someone leaves a nasty comment as an anon at a someone else's journal, that is very much a cowardly act, and suggests a certain degree of shame at what s/he is saying.

I think because there're not that many pairs to ship, the feeling / obsession is more intense. I mean, in the LOTR fandom, there were dozens of OTPs - Orlijah, Domlijah, VigLij, OrliBean - oh a lot more! In this fandom, there's only Sam/Dean for a long, long time ( with some minor pairings ), so I guess when a new major pairing comes along, there's a sense of ... loss and dejection. I mean, I didn't like the Sam/Ruby pairing of season 3 but I didn't click on it, and neither do I click on any of the other minor pairings be it RPS or FPS.

And a resounding YES to your last two points.

Thank you, dear Jane *glomps you again*

How right you are!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Heh, Orlijah is better than Domlijah!

;P;P;P

KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

The person deleted the comment on your entry, ya?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

No, it's still there but anon comments are screened. Unscreening it will involve a third person and I don't want this to drag on :/

[dev-earl.livejournal.com]

Still sorry about this, Kak Lin. :(

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Aargh, and now all those IP numbers are messing up my pages :/

Thank you, Sue *squishes you*

[lbilover.livejournal.com]

Live and let live is a philosophy more people should embrace. I've seen way too much intolerance on LJ of late. I'm sorry some came your way. *hugs*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

What I hated most about it is that I think anon was actually targetting the person whose story I rec'd but apparently she dared not say it to her direct so she said it to me, a small fry, here :/

Thank you, Ellen *hugs you back*

[leelust.livejournal.com]

It was because of the pairing? OMG! I can't believe it.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, yes. Unbelieavable, isn't it?

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you've had to deal with hatred or intolerance. :((( **hugs you lots**

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darling Claudia *lots of hugs to you too!*

[honeyandvinegar.livejournal.com]

They're in Iowa. Corn-shucking dork!!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

*falls off chair laughing*

Now this is one of the times that I wish you're in this fandom so that I can sic you on her LOLOL.

*squishes you to death*

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Seriously where do people get off at times on being unpleasant. Fandom is meant to be a happy place. That's why we're all in it aren't we - oh yeah and the hot boys.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I know, right? But fortunately there're still lots of fun people otherwise I would have left fandom a long time ago.

[chloe-amethyst.livejournal.com]

I've never, ever had any patience for the attitude that because one doesn't like a particular pairing, genre, bottom/top, or fictional scenario it shouldn't be written. Expressing a personal preference as only that, I understand and welcome, but declarations of what should or should not be written are always unacceptable to me. I leave communities and unfriend journals if that becomes the dominant viewpoint expressed by posting members.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

And in Anon's case, shouldn't be rec'd either *rolls eyes*

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

Do you remember when Sam started rolling up his sleeves? That's not his or Jared's style. It's Jensen's. :)




First he wears this purplish berry-colored lipstick.




Then he changes to maroon-ish.




Does he remind you of 2014!Dean?




*hugs you tight*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

What brand do you think? I'm thinking Clinique. Or maybe Estee Lauder :DDDDDDDD

And yes, Dean had that hard 2014-look about his eyes in the last picture. I'm thinking that he knew that wasn't Sam, but he unconciously wanted it to be Sam ... there was an internal dialogue going on in his head there, a conflicting, rioting set of emotions.
