buggeryPSA for newcomers to fandom:
Here's how to tell when there's no longer any point in continuing a discussion with someone over points about which you disagree. If they assert, "As a general rule, I won't wade through any mass of PWPs unless they directly involve my favorite character (of any given fandom)" and then, not 45 minutes later, in the same post, aver, "You might be surprised to learn I skim, at the very least, every fic that comes through my LJ filters or email groups, for the past eight years" ...you can be fairly sure that an argument between yourself and such a person could go on, yes. But nothing productive is likely to come of it. (If you're wondering what or who I'm talking about, have a look around here. You'll find it.)
General PSA:
I've been thinking since Saturday night about the Steph and Tim in the Crime Syndicate of America universe as posited by Te. Mostly about the sex they have. And I think I want to write some.
That's right. I'm going to write het fic. I'm going to write het fic about Tim Drake.

Date: 2005-08-18 11:04 am (UTC)I stopped answering your comments in your LJ post when your comments replying to mine ceased being *in response* to what I was saying, as opposed to continuing to rant from your soapbox without making any attempt to engage what *I* was saying. A dialogue has to be participatory on both sides, or it isn't a dialogue.
Now we're in my journal. I'm not any more interested in perpetuating exchanges of pointless vociferation here than I was there.
