Dear I'm such a SPECIAL fan Fans
I was watching Inside the Actor's Studio a few weeks ago and Hugh Laurie was the guest. The time came for audience questions and up stood the stereotypical fangirl: Rotund, frizzy hair, full of giggles. She asked the following. "Do you think House belongs with-...will end up with Cameron, Cuddy, or -dare I say it- Wilson? *giggle!!!!*" That's a quote, by the way. And then she went on and on about 'the web sites on the internet' and how 'popular' the pairing was.

(For those of you that want to know, Laurie said that any and all three are possible because it's human nature to want companionship.)

Look, I agree that it's nice to to have some sort of confirmation about a character's sexuality or relationships (Like Depp saying Jack Sparrow is Bisexual), but come on. You are not daring or progressive for shipping something homosexual. Really, you're not. Stop thinking you're some sort of revolutionary.

Dear Entitled fans,
You do not own the works you're a fan of, alright? No, Harry Potter is NOT public domain. You do not know the story/characters/world better than Jo does. Jo didn't "Quit" anything. She told the story from beginning to end. Or do you just Quit dinner when there's nothing left on your plate? Quitter!
How can you not see that the whole Lexicon thing can potentially fuck us all over? You get mad that LJ takes away your precious smut? At least we're still allowed to make it.

Fun fact: I'm not even a fan of Harry Potter and I ship nothing in House.

	I wouldn't consider myself so much daring as wistful. My canons need to stop being so hetersexual and get a little diversity up in there as relates to romances. Which is why the lot of us went squee when we found out Sunstreaker was supposed to be gay. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Word. With how homophobic the world and so much of the media is, every official gay thing is pretty nice. Not being homophobic doesn't make you cool, but I'm still going to be happy when I find out a character is going (or was) to be something other than straight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No kidding, if only to be a bit different. How many realistic portrayals of homosexual relationships do you get outside of films focused specifically around the gay experience or whatever the fuck they call it these days. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not that many; I can only think of Torchwood and the new Doctor Who (to some extent), then there's the odd soap and canons that have closed. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Heck, how happy are we to just find out that there was a bisexual on House? Not even that she has a girlfriend, or that she would, but that that fictional character is into it sometimes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Which one was that, the apprentice girl? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Er. . .She had a number. She's the new addition to the team. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thirteen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Close enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Remy Hadley is her actual name. (The character.) But I have to admit it took me a while to actually start remembering that. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	anarchicq 2008-04-17 12:45 am UTC (link)
	I agree, IE: Prudence from Across the Universe. I'm not saying anything about the authenticity, but rather how the fan broached the subject, with the giggles and just her general disposition. She struck me as one of the OMG CAMERON IS A BITCH and so is CTB!!! fans who hate characters who get in the way of her OTP. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Burn the witch! But seriously, ARGH. Do these girls have any idea how demeaning they are? (Reply to this)

	It would have been so much better if she was slim with sleek blown-dry tresses, wouldn't it? sympathy face (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hey, just so long as she wasn't wearing glasses or anything. WE CAN'T BE HAVING THAT. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	entrenous88 2008-04-17 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	So, so true. Now at least there's an outside chance a man might make a pass at her! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	puipui 2008-04-17 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, she was already pushing it with the fat and the frizz and the being geeky, so thank god there's a chance in hell that she might find a man who'll want her someday, so long as she loses weight and does something about that hair and sublimates her interests to his. 'Cause where will she be without a man, amirite? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Oh crap, I wear glasses. So never mind my comment below! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Meh, just get her some good make-up, silicone fillets and a nice pair of heels unbothered shrug (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	entrenous88 2008-04-17 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Now there's some problem solving at work! Just don't forget her opinion-deflating frizzy hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	dez_chan 2008-04-17 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	...? Fillets? Sounds...delicious! No seriously, I've never heard them called that. I've heard the inserts you put into bras called "cutlets" before, but never fillets. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ms_treesap 2008-04-17 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	Hmm, I've heard them called that before by my friends (chicken fillets), but there's nothing on the Internet to prove this. Maybe it's a southern English thing? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thank you! XD (Reply to this)(Parent)

	dez_chan 2008-04-18 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	Distinctly possible, given I've never been to England (sadly!). Which is weird, 'cause we still call it "chicken fillet" when it's on a menu. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It would have been so much better if she was slim with sleek blown-dry tresses, wouldn't it? Doubful. I fit the above description but I'm sure it would've been just as lame if it'd been me. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	YOU WIN. Those types of fangirls are annoying as hell. (Reply to this)
