OTW Fannews: Crossing Boundaries

[otw-staff.livejournal.com]

Hypable reported on how a The 100 fanfic went viral in non-fanfic communities. "It’s absolutely hilarious to see how non-fandom has responded to this fictional argument, and how people have even taken sides — but the fact that Clarke was immediately assumed to be a male does say a lot about our heteronormative society, doesn’t it?! Despite this somewhat depressing factor, The 100 fans are having a blast with this, and are fully embracing the ridiculousness of #ClarketheHusband. We’ve never been more in love with this fandom."

Fanworks are usually a source of joy but that can go sour when they’re thrust into communities they weren’t made for http://bit.ly/1Tfa4PM

Sod #ClarketheHusband.

That stupid story normalises buying puppies from petshops.

DO NOT BUY PUPPIES FROM PETSHOPS BECAUSE THEY ARE 'FLUFFY' INTERNET.

*rages*

*weeps for all the homeless dogs that are insuffiently 'fluffy' and are therefore apparently Not Good Enough so will be spending the winter in kennels*

*weeps for their overbred parents kept in miserable conditions in barren concrete pens with minimal healthcare and no love or exercise*

NO SODDING PETSHOPS
