I can't remember the last time there was a serious stressful discussion in Due South

pearl_o: I think the lack of any real conflict in ds fandom for so long now is affecting my ability to deal with conflict in other fandoms, and searching out bitchy hate.
ficbyzee: *giggles*
pearl_o: no, seriously, i think i was starting to forget that feeling, how overinvested you get.
pearl_o: *feels random anger that isn't actually directed at anyone but feels righteous anyway!*
ficbyzee: awww. *pets*
pearl_o: (john/rodney GRAR!)

Hahahaha, I know how totally irrational it is and I kind of hate myself for it, but it's kind of nice to have a pairing to focus your hate on that strongly, you know? It makes things so much simpler.

I'm trying to think of something to start wank about in due South (and when I say wank, I am not implying that recent meta discussions in other fandoms have been wank, I'm just looking for the most entertainment value). It's hard, dude. We're all so polite it's kind of disgusting. I mean, I might look at people funny when they admit they honestly don't like Vecchio at all or when they refuse to read any het whatsoever, and they might think I'm crazy when I post Vecchiocest or wrinkle my nose at Ray/Ray, but we all tend to be nice about it.

(If anyone mentions the Ray/Ray wars at this point, I am going to go insane, I swear to god, because YES, at one time Due South was a wanky fandom, YES we all know our sordid history and NO it has almost nothing to do with how the fandom works or has worked for at least the past three and half years I've been here.)
