ANOTHER use of the sv icon (this is why i keep you around, alien boy)

Memories that come to mind when I think over my two years in Smallville fandom (Feb 2002 - Jan 2004):

+ "OMG, Handful of Dust!"
+ "OMG, Mercy!"
+ "OMG, Immortality!"
+ "OMG, Hope is an evil bitch and Chloe is a OTP-destroying whore!"
+ Het vs slash CAGEMATCH.
+ The jackboot cabal rules ALL.
+ SV fandom is elitist and mean to newbies!!!
+ Present tense is the devil.
+ Sentence fragments are the devil.
+ SV is homophobic for not making Clark/Lex canon!!!
+ Incest is OOGY and WRONG. Sickos.
+ "meta is boring/you're ruining my squee" vs "well, excuse me if I like thoughtful discussion!"
+ Clark is evil mean bad boyriend man! GROVELFIC AHOY.
+ "Your argument is obviously invalid because you are a bad mother and a pedophile. SO THERE."
+ "OMG, people make fun of badfic!"
+ "OMG, why must you all hate Jonathan so much!!! ...Oh, wait, we hate Jonathan now, too. Nevermind!"

Memories that come to mind when I think over my two years in due South fandom (Jan 2004 - Jan 2006)

+ "OMG, Ray Kowalski doesn't smoke!"

...That's it.

I don't know if it's just the old, settled-down, closed canon fandom thing or not, but dS, you lose at kerfuffling.
