Work is being such an ass today. It was already cranky yesterday but today is even worse. It's even more frustrating that I'm this close to solve the bloody problem except it just doesn't want to cooperate and it's apparently determined to drive me a bit insane *smites*

And the flist isn't cooperating either since everything is about the latest drama. No porn of any kind, sadly.

I have to say that, as a whole, I usually don't trust Fandom as far as wanks go. I mean, you know how much I love, nay, how much I adore Fandom, but it's not exactly known for being reasonable nor is it known for its level-headness. Or, at least, that's how I see it. Not to say everyone will agree.

So I usually just wait for the drama to be over and for everyone to go back to the important things, namely write fics and speak about shows and, why, yes I do have my priorities right, why? ;-) Except that this time it seems the drama was actually justified?

Well, not to the extremes I've seen some people go - though, hey, everyone is entitled to it, just because I might not agree doesn't mean I think people are wrong in how they react to things - but I've read some of the latest news/articles that were linked on the flist, as opposed to just spread rumours, and I can't say I liked what I read here, I'll admit. I don't know, I'm waiting to see where the whole thing is going - if it's going somewhere - and hoping some of the things I read aren't going to become a trend on LJ...

But, see, I couldn't be upset over the whole thing because with fandom it's a bit like the boy who cried wolf; wanks and mass panic ensue so often for no reason that I never know whether I'm supposed to look at things with a closer look on not. And also, I guess I usually don't take certain things as seriously as some people do. So, again, I'll just wait and see how things go...

Still, I'll be impatiently waiting for the porn calm to come back.

And on other news; I finally have my very own SPN s1 box-set! It was released yesterday and I went there with my fake!bdayvoucher but very real money and treated myself with the thing. It's shiny and pretty and it's all spn all the time and it has extras and it filled me with glee :-)

ETA: I've always been curious as to how many fandom oriented journals there could be on LJ and, thanks to fandom_counts, we can now start to have an idea. As of this minute we're at 24061 24126 24127 24166 and counting. greedy_dancer, I can sorta understand your obsession with the refresh thing now lol It's pretty neat seeing the figure rise with each new click!

Ca, pour faire une connerie, ils en ont fait une belle, c'est clair. Apparemment ils se sont excusés - je me doute bien que c'est plus par intérêt qu'autre chose, mais quand même, c'est déjà bien d'admette qu'ils ont merdé - et ils ont réinstallé les communautés et journaux qui avaient été victimes de la purge pour rien, je crois ? Au moins, quelque chose a été fait. C'est encourageant.

Y a des trucs qui ont été dit par 6A qui le sont moins, mais en attendant, des mesures ont été prises pour réparer leur bourde... faut bien commencer quelque part.

Maintenant, évidemment que ça me fait chier de penser que parce qu'un intérêt ne leur plait pas ils pourraient éventuellement effacer des journaux pour de bon. Mais c'est pas le cas puisque qu'ils ont bien restoré les comms/journaux qui ne présentaient rien de repréhensible. On verra bien si les choses évoluent mais d'ici à prédire la fin du monde... c'est légèrement prématuré.

Disons que c'est là que le bas blesse, en fait; j'ai parfois l'impression que le fandom se discrédite presque tout seul, à partir en vrille tout le temps pour rien. Au final, tu sais jamais si c'est justifié ou non.

Mais bon, moi je l'adore le Fandom, donc c'est juste mon problème, comme ils disent :-) Et puis certains pourraient me répondre que je m'implique pas assez, finalement, tout est une question de point de vue *g*
