That's especially frusterating if the fandom is really small. But I suppose it can be just as irritating in a large fandom, too. It's like sorting through an endless sea for that one pearl.
yeahh.. i guess no matter what we pretty much lose XD
Amusing, yes, but if you're involved in the fandom...the fray just sucks you in, whether you want it to or not. :P
XD yeah, it does. its a massive heathenous whirlpoooool! *dramadrama* XD sorry, i like poking fun at the fandom XD though i agreed with what you said... its pretty tragic. sites go down, authors disappear, fights break out, etc etc... there have even been some friendships seemingly permanently damaged over stuff like pairings -_- i dont really .. think that's the most conducive way to live, but live and let live, i guess ^^
eee Quatre *_* he was what pulled me into the fandom. *lovehimlots* i actually came into the fandom, like you said, thinking only Trowa and Quatre made sense. i pretty much regarded the 1x2ers as strange beings but let them go about their business. buuut somehow i got sucked into 1x2 O_o i dont know how. i definitely dont mind that people dont see it ^_^ i didnt at first, so hi, i cant blame them lol i just now think its adorable or something, im not really sure. Quatre and Noin.. haha! yeahhh dont hear that one much. yeah it was a pretty cute scene with the Sank Kingdom, though, so i cant blame you ^_^ they probably COULD be pretty adorable. as for Dorothy? O_O! *GLOMP* DUDE THANK YOU! i also LOVE Dorothy! i admit, first when i watched i was all "RAR BITCH DONT HURT MY QUATRE!" but later i was all "awww ;_; Dorothyyy *comforts her*" i wish more people liked her. she's really cool. there was an lj community for awhile that had all the main GW characters in it and i got to play Dorothy ^_^ and she wasnt evil, damnit! just a little insane, a little twisted, extremely intelligent, and probably too good of a strategist for her own good. *hmphs* i really loved playing Dorothy but eh, the rpg is gone now and yeah. no more Dorothy for me ^^; anyway, its really really a shame that people freak out so much. i mean, honestly. if you dont see the pairing, thats totally cool ^_^ everyone has their own opinion. but its not really something to like.. kill others over o_o; yes, even within yaoi its all "RAR 1x2! NO! 5x2! NO! 1x3! NOOO! 2x4! 4x1! 1x5! RARRR! *shakes fist!!!*" sooo yeah ^^; i cant really handle the het community too much, but thats not really anything wrong on their part. it's just that i haven't had a lot of great experiences with it and i dont agree with a lot of the opinions so i just kinda let it live on its own ^^
i as well am hoping the same doesnt happen to the OP community. ^^; that would suck so much >_<
