Legomymalfoy won!!!

[lokifan_import]

legomymalfoy won the election! I'm so pleased. She knows about the process of a site like LJ, she's part of the Abuse Team, she's one of fandom... and most importantly, it means jameth didn't win. I'm sorry to sound vicious in a celebration post, but seriously, thank fuck. Maybe this was partly a popularity contest, but the best candidate won. The interwebs actually rewarded intelligence. Phew.

she isnt part of my fandom. so quit using the word incorrectly.

To be honest, I don't think it was an incorrect usage. Word use is fluid, particularly on the internet. I consider 'fandom' to be a word for fandoms in general, the phenomenon of what we do itself. I don't really understand what other word you'd have me use.

I know there's a tendency, particularly among Harry Potter fen, to think of their own fandom and fandom in general as the same thing. But that wasn't how I meant it, and I'd hoped the post made that clear: fandom in general was under attack, and I'd have given a vote to someone from any fandom who'd been around as long as she has - although likely not my first one unless they had other things to reccommend them, as legomymalfoy does.

"I consider fandom to be a word for fandoms in general"

Me too. And yay, so relieved she won!

Hey, I see you're on a roll with the writing!:) - great! - and I will read once I gird myself sufficiently for the angst.*g* I've been hit with lows from all my shows, all! - and I'm desperately trying to keep my spirits up.

And yay, so relieved she won! Totally!

I see you're on a roll with the writing! Hee. I'm so happy to be writing at speed, even though I should be focusing on my exams. And yeah, stay away if you're trying to stay perky. On the other hand, I'll be posting a fairly fluffy birthday fic soon, so you can always read that when it's done. *cuddles* Lost's still being a bitch, then?

"Lost's still being a bitch, then?"

Of course! It's Lost, after all; even when it's lovely and squeeful, nastiness lurks.

Exams are always so good at inspiring anything but revision!*g*

As for fics, I'll be fine - just need a few more days to get things in perspective and remind myself that I make my own canon.... shhhh, don't tell anyone I said that! Anyway, again, great that you're writing :)

Canon whores! ATTACK!

Exams are always so good at inspiring anything but revision!*g*

It's all that non-reading-fic time on the computer, and time with a pen in my hand.
