why are people so crazy?

Surfacing from post-posting coma to wave hello and thank everyone who's left comments about my Big Bang. Tomorrow is the take-mom-to-the-airport (in Nashville, oi) day, but then I can start doing things again, like answering comments! :)

Mostly, though, this post about the craziness of people. Of fans. There's a good chance y'all have already seen this around, but I'm very behind on LJ. Just in case you haven't, here's the low-down: there's a comm, spn_legacy, who wants to do a book of fan work: art, fiction, etc., and present it to Kripke, et al, of Supernatural.

If you don't want to be a part of this (or to tell the OP why this is a horrifically BAD IDEA), go here.

I'll never understand why anyone thinks something like that is a good idea.

This is the kinda shit right there that makes me cringe and makes me wanna NOT admit that I'm a fangirl. OMG I am appalled!

*shudder* That's a horrible idea.

Hey! What's wrong with Nashville? :)

I'm just grateful we found out before they actually presented anything.

I just got back from that site... *shakes head* What a stupid idea!

*waves hello*

I've been trying to get some time to read your big bang... Tomorrow. Promise!

It's a pretty dumb idea, but I have to say, by page three the predictions of plagues of frogs and locusts and fire raining from the skies were making me giggle. Good Lord, fandom. No one involved in SPN gives a toss about your fan art or your fanfic, and they'll just drop the book in the bin.

I understand putting a book together to share with fans and all but presenting it to Kripke is another matter. Why? Why would you do that? Why?

I'm not going to tell her anything as I don't have anything that would be contributed, but um. May I say a huge WEH? to the fact that people are having to OPT OUT? SHouldn't she be going TO people to ask their permission instead? AROO?

Fandom. Good grief.

Even better is the entry where she says she's thought better of it -- but still can't resist calling all the sensible fen a bunch of meanines: http://community.livejournal.com/spn_legacy/1141.html
