Soap operas are so ridiculous

“She’s cheating on you and I kidnapped your mom and you think your brother killed her but your brother isn’t really your brother because he was switched at birth but your real brother is the guy that your wife is having an affair with and I’m your long lost child you never knew about. Also your father came back from the dead and we don’t know how.”

Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.

Tonight fic

A part of me is starting to regret not making my blind Tom fics a proper chaptered story, even if jumping around is fun…

Also in the past tense…

In response to a comment wanting a link to this. It’s part of the Men of Downton special feature on the S3 DVDs.

you can be a fan of a show and point out its flaws

you can enjoy something and still criticize it

discussing issues which are necessary to be talked about is as much part of a fandom as anything else and has nothing to do with fighting

the idea of a fandom is that you are more than a passive consumer who accepts things mindlessly

idealizing things is unhealthy and gives you a skewed view of reality

Nichelle Nichols (Uhura on the original series):”Whoopi Goldberg, she’s just marvellous. I had no way of knowing that she was a Star Trek fan. When I finally met her it was her first year on the Next Generation.

She loved the show so much and she told her agent she wants a role on Star Trek. Well agents go ‘Big screen, little screen, no, you can’t do that’. Well you can’t tell Whoopi ‘You can’t do that’.

And so they finally asked, and they had the same reaction at Star Trek office, specifically Gene. And she said, ‘I want to meet him and I want him to tell me to my face. If he tells me he doesn’t want me and why, I’ll be fine.’

Knowing Gene he had to take that challenge, and so he met with her. She said, ‘I just wanted you to tell me why you don’t want me in Star Trek.’

Gene said, ‘Well, I’ll just ask you one question and I’ll make my decision on that. You’re a big screen star, why do you want to be on a little screen, why do you want to be in Star Trek?’

And she looked at him and she said, ‘Well, it’s all Nichelle Nichols’ fault.’

That threw him, he said, ‘What do you mean?’

She said, ‘Well when I was nine years old Star Trek came on,’ and she said, ‘I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, “Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television and she ain’t no maid!”’ And she said, ‘I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be, and I want to be on Star Trek.’

And he said, ‘I’ll write you a role.’
