In which I type about fandom.

This week I bumped directly into two radically different aspects of fandom, and that made me want to type about it.[Poll #1878866]

I tend to pick towels that hide stains- especially hair dye stains.

I'm not sure what happened, not being in the fandom, but I wish to high heaven that people would leave the actors out of their fic-writing endeavors. Slash away. Write RPF, if it floats your boat. But stop forcing it on the actors!

Sorry, that topic makes me a little ranty.

It wasn't a huge deal, really. The Gatiss panel event was fun (by all reports so far) and I wish I'd been there. I think it was overwhelmingly cool in actuality and I'm really glad it went well because it was for a good cause which is clearly dear to Mark - so it's all fine.

This post was just sort of a 'hm, lots of fandom stuff this week and quarryquest is asking about this aspect of it' reaction. :-)

I totally agree - I think some of the actors just don't get it, which is fine, but take that into consideration and don't ask them to flail around where they're not comfortable.
