To tell the truth, I've never been satisfied with this fandom. In the "hay day" of the Yahoo! group, I was in a state of constant annoyance. Like in every fandom, the OTPs received the most feedback. Also, we had BNFs. If there is anything I hate, it is BNF-ism. It is such junior high bullshit. Not to sound like Karl Marx, but there were the Haves and the Have Nots. The BNFs and OTPers were the Haves and the "rare" shippers were the Have Nots.

The tiny revival on lj was close to perfection, but we were so few in numbers, and nobody really gave and feedback.

This recent restart has started an all-out gang war-- except really flamboyant. Kinda like West Side Story.

Let me ask you all-- can't we all just get along? Without a caste system? Without favoritism?

I propose equality. Everyone is equal. Nobody is a n00b and nobody is a snob. It'll be like Communism, minus the whole evil dictator thing.

Whaddaya say?

I know there is the issue of Just for Fun Fic and Great Literary Masterpiece Fic and feedback.

Umm, dude? This is why we have that little patch of writing before the story. Just write what type of fic you have written and specify how you would like to receive feedback, if any at all.

People are naturally too snobby. Hell, I didn't even read all the comments you've gotten so far. I just wanted to say the whole dictator thing was Leninism, and technically we don't know if communism ever works because it's never come about in the actual Marxian progression.
