Sigh

I'm randomly feeling like crying. DVD drive still doesn't work, the trafficmagnet thing, and I feel (egotistical, I know) like the Lotrips fandom is overrun by teenies who are ruining evrything RPS has gained over the last two years. How am I ever gonna honestly argue that RPSers can distinguish between reality and fantasy when there's people seeing those tongue-licking pictures and immediately concluding that that means they must be gay?

Fucking PMS.

In jollier news, I just got another $7 referral fee from your-site, thanks to whomever you are! (Total femgeeks funds: $91!)

*sob* The same teenies that are ruining LOTR RPS are ruining LOTR FPS too.

(really. I am tempted to start a Very Secret List where mature people can discuss LOTR FPS/RPS slashiness, without resorting to screaming "oooooohh," every few minutes and submitting badly spelled fanfics. Well, maybe some "oooooohs" would be allowed, but no badly spelled fanfic. Really. Tempted.)

If you do create such a list, count me in. I need people who understand how good disturbing slash is.

At this point, I'd settle for people who understand that no matter how disturbing slash is, it's still just a story, and no one is actually harmed by it.

But even that seems to be asking too much.

I'm just completely amazed that the basic fact that all of this is fiction has escaped a large majority of this list.

Theory: this is because quite a lot of them used to be anti-RPS. (Just check a few intros if you don't believe me.) So they're not used to see this as "just fiction", it's always been stalking and invasion of privacy for them, except that now, they're doing it themselves.

Or something.

Hmm. That is a good point. You may be right.

*nods* I think you're right. And if you do decide to have a list like that, please count me in. It might be nice to have a list where actual sentences are used rather than annoying teenie-speak.

Oh so tempting...the teenies are killing me here...

I'd be so very up for such a list. I've had to go to no mail on all my LoTR lists, just for sheer inability to cope with the teenie factor.

I'd join. I'd even host it on femgeeks, if you want.

Can I join?

Seriously, if you do it, I'm so there.
