a Dear Fandom letter

[mousapelli]

Dear HP fandom:

I realize that you're in a slump, that you feel like everything's been done before, and are simply biding your time until the next phase of your life. After ten years of Latin education, I empathize with you completely. I even sort of understand the intra-fandom cannabalism, in a sort of metaphorical way.

But you see, HP, there are other fandoms out there vying for my attention. Shiny, ickle fandoms where people tell me how much they like me, and use my icons in random places, and yell 'First comment!' on my entries.

I'm not saying it's over, HP. I'm just saying that I think I should see other fandoms. And you should take some Ritalin.

See you in July,

-Mousapelli


NOTE: don't get all het up, i'm not leaving or anything, I'll just be spending more time squeeing over in KKM rather than wanking in HP. not that there's anything wrong with wanking...

Kyou Kara Maou (or alternately Kyo Kara Ma-oh!, because if we can't come up with a good english title, we'll just mispell the japanese one). It's pretty harmless fun, and it makes fun of a lot of RPG stereotypes.

but it's so much fun to be in a fandom with regularly released ongoing new canon. Can't we get JKR to serialize or something?

I hear you. Why post a 50,000 Snarry epic and get ten reviews when you can post L/Raito crack written in an hour and get fifty? XD

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

ahaha, it is so true!

perhaps i will write some more bondage over here in L denial land...

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

yup, and i saw a random fanscanlated 61, although the official wasn't done yet.

61 was better than 60, but i'm not really feeling the old love for it. you know, they always kill my favorite character, always! Fullmetal Alchemist, HP, Death Note, i mean, come on!

Dear Mousapelli:

Fine. Be that way. I'm too fabulous for you anyway.

♥ HP Fandom *flounces off*

Being multi-fannish is fun and shiny (says she who is at this very moment burning I-Man, downloading Stargate:Atlantis, writing a Hikaru no Go essay, debating whether or not to read that insanely long Harry/Snape that popped up last night, and has a due South story open in another tab)!

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

i won't even tell you how many scattered fandom things are open on my computer (KKM, YGO, HP, Death Note, HnG, oh god save me from myself)...

and that icon cracks me up.

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

I still have a list of things you have to write...

While you're on your hiatus, may I suggest picking up the Firefly dvds? *g*

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

yeah yeah, we know all about you and your list. it's just any excuse for somnophiliac Ron with you, isn't it?

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

Mmm...somnophiliac Ron...

Harry's just tied him up, you know, but then I got all distracted by Alexander and his stupid mourning and then I started rereading the Iliad here at work and it's ALL YOUR FAULT.

don't forget creepy!Harry/Tonks and stoner!Remus and the measuring fic *g*

[beagley.livejournal.com]

You could take the next logical step, of course... a slashslash story... featuring erotic interludes between HP and KKM fanfic writers... after all, community members are in many ways very vivid characters in of themselves. Isn't it time they got a fandom of their own?

"... ramen_addict moved her hand slowly up copperbadge's thigh... when suddenly, mousapelli burst into the room!"

"Yup, it's definitely a potato leprosy relapse. They're going to have to operate."

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

ahaha, what you don't know is that Ellen has already written sociofemme/mousapelli slash, and victoria and i are pretty convinced that the rest of fandom thinks we are getting it on every night via AIM.

[beagley.livejournal.com]

In that case: Attention everyone! I have met Sara and Ellen, I have been in their apartment! I have eaten many a heart repast! I am here to report that there is NO hanky-panky going on. Except maybe with their rats.

[teleute12.livejournal.com]

As long as this means more HnG fic, I have no protest.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

you're in luck then, because i can't stop writing it omfg.

this always happens during finals week.

[teleute12.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'm sorry? Well, I'm actually not, but... still. Yeah.

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

Feeling that. Went to a convention over the weekend and DIDN'T THINK ABOUT HP AT ALL. Felt weird.

On the other hand, I was in a trio cosplaying the slasher maids in the background of KKM, and we pimped the show like whoah. You could FEEL the addiction growing during the showing of it on Sat.
