( No Title )
I kind of miss the old days where almost all authors despised their fandoms, because we were (gasp!) writing FANFICTION or (mimes throwing up) shipping a QUEER SHIP.
Nowadays it feels like the author is the cool kid that sits at our lunch table that everyone is trying to impress. Nah, fuck that. Bring me back to the time when authors and fans had mutual disdain for each other. It was a far healthier outlook for fans to have, and added to the culture.
I feel like this is mostly a problem with corporate media. It feels like Major Corporations are breathing down fandom’s neck trying to use us as viral marketing.
