So there's a new mailing list in the wrestlefic fandom: Wrestling Fan Fiction is Evil. Already, the fen are up in arms over it, including, sad to say, some of my friends. Links to the mailing list are being passed around, people are joining the list just long enough to say how stupid it is and how they have better things to do than put up with these people, and wank is generally just flying in all directions.

It's all very silly, slightly reminiscent of the old hubbub about FW. Once again, we are reminded that no one should ever say anything bad about someone else's fanfic, even if it's done quietly, in an isolated location where people have to actually go looking for it and JOIN THE GROUP in order to read it and be offended. Not to mention, the point of the group is to make fun of *bad* fanfic, though admittedly that's not explicitly stated in the group info.

It's a beautiful wank, and teaches the lesson is that fandom should be a beautiful peaceful place where we all hold hands and skip through the daisies singing "Kumbaya." Never mind that we like to watch a show with people beating the shit out of one another.

I joined the group, of course. I'm so proud of my little fandom. *wipes away a tear*
