Times when you realize nobody escapes the weirdo obsession of fandom...last night I read this tiny little thing, barely anything, but it happened to reference a pairing I absolutely hate and damn if it didn't make me want to jump in an argue it! It really made me stop and wonder about what it is about pairings. This wasn’t a Meta-argument either, it was a fic--a short one, and the pairing isn't even a canon pairing. Yet reading it it’s like I felt it was some threat to my own preferred pairing. Objectively it's so stupid, but somehow I felt like somebody writing down a scene of their own pairing changed the status of my own preferred pairings. Yipes.
Don't worry; I didn't actually jump in to say how this person's innocent two sentences made me remember why I hated this pairing, but still just the impulse to want to say something was a little scary. To each his own in fandom but OMG I HATE THAT PAIRING DON'T MAKE ME READ IT YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!
Ahem. Yeah. In other news, I've seen this new show Justice about three times because it's on after Bones and I still don't like it. ( So I must go into to detail about why... )
