Had a James Hetfield/Mariah Carrey dream last night. *pointedly glares in the general direction of Canada*

Blar, got an email back from the U2Bubblegum listmum. Um, girls? Did we know this is a writers-only list? Because the only thing keeping me back from starting my own list is the whole shades of TF-metslash thing. I don't think I'll be staying, though. And *cringe* she used the phrase "serious writers". That counts me out, then, since I'm lots of things, but serious isn't one of them. Yeah, I'm bitchy. So sue me. (*snerk*)

But, yeah. I'd like a U2 slash list where lurkers are welcome and all, and where temper tantrums like the one that sparked this whole thing are either ignored or put down, but this fandom is too small to warrant two lists, really. And, as I said, I fear the ever so slight chance that this'll turn into another List War, and um. No. Not with this fandom, not with me, and actually, not with her, either. I think she's naive, but then, I'm old and jaded, and she's actually okay.

I really hate fandom politics.

In other news, if I ever again can't get any Gitanes, please remind me to never ever buy Galoises, yeah? I still have a foul taste in my mouth. Yuck.

I think raising the subject onlist is a good idea... I was all "yay! join me up like yesterday!" when I found out about it, but then when I got the orig message thingy and it came on quite strong on the whole "no lurkers" thing, it did put me off a bit... partly cos I'm a slow writer (well, to get ideas, that is, I tend to actually write in one or two sessions, but that's a whole unrelated OTness) and because I'm so new to the fandom that I want to sort of read and 'listen' and stuff first to get a better idea about stuff... *looks at what she's written here* damn, I'm rambling randomly, aren't I?

What I mean to say is that I'd join another list, but I wouldn't want to think that the existance of another list would hurt feelings/etc of other people in bubblegum (ew, could i sound more sappy?? *kicks self*) but just from bits of it I've seen, I don't think I'd fit on Bubblegum at the moment... like you said, I need something a bit more laidback... (and OT-friendly, *G*) I think at the moment I'm happy with the LJing and stuff... seems to be working OK for me, at least.

*wanders off babbling still*

I understood what you were saying, hon, so it's not that random. :)

And it's not just the size of the fandom, but also the similarity to situations in Metallica fandom last year, and. Yeah. And also, I just "cleaned" myself of all listmum responsabilities, and I don't really wanna take on more. :/
