ladymirthI found this while surfing the Supernatural Wiki:
mona1347 (The Drugs of Fandom: in which she compares each of her fandoms, including Buffy, Harry Potter, Smallville, Firefly and SGA to drug-effects)
This description is made of sheer, unadulterated WORD with a side order of WIN. I joined the SPN fandom in September, when the very mention of Wincest made me want to crawl into a small hole and pull it in after me, and the prevalence of RPF and RPS in my favourite communities made me feel like breaking out in hives. I am by now reading and plotting hard R Wincest stories without second thought, Daddy!cest stories only earn an eye-roll from me, and while I still hate RPF, I am engaging in a long and philosophical debate with myself as to why exactly that is so much more offensive a genre than writing underage porn about Harry Potter.
Who needs a liberal arts education when you've got fandom?
On the other hand, it was a lot easier to not like things without having to justify yourself in a hundred different contexts. Life was a lot simpler when you knew that WIncest was depraved, RPS was immoral and underage Harry Potter porn was something fandom could do without.
But flist, if I ever start making noises to the effect that "RPF isn't that bad after all", I beg you to put me out of my misery at once and let me die a self-respecting woman.
P.S: Now that I've been established as heroin-junkie who is constantly being roofied, I feel an overwhelming urge to join the Smallville fandom, even though I lost all interest in the show after the fifth season. Crack sounds fun!)
Supernatural fandom = Roofies.
- You let this fandom buy you one drink, just one drink and before you know it, your clothes’ve come off and you’re doing all these vile and depraved things that you always said you’d never do or just plain weren’t into and you can’t bring yourself to have any kind of problem with the situation at all. Then the next day you wake up kinda sore, wondering what the hell you did last night and have only fleeting remembrances of pretty emo boys, glitter and lube.
