Joke time!
How many fanfic writers does it take to change a lightbulb?

One to notice that the lightbulb's out and to post it to her livejournal/a mailing list/etc. Five to commiserate with her. Two to talk about previous fandoms and what they did when it came to lightbulbs. One more to not see the original post and post that the lightbulb's out. Three to point out that person A already posted about it. Five more to defend person B for not knowing about person A. Five more to defend person A against the insults from the people defending person B. One person to post the entire argument onto fandom_wank. Twenty people to make cracks about lightbulbs, the people involved, and random in-jokes. And, finally, two people to point out that the lightbulb isn't a part of canon anyway.

But then there's the one who's supposed to be in charge of the lightbulbs, and there's one person to tell that person that the lightbulb is out, and then the lightbulb person decides that she's going to get rid of all the lightbulbs, because, obviously, people just don't appreciate how she's been taking care of these lightbulbs, just because there's the one lightbulb that's out, and then she deletes her journal and removes her lightbulbs, and then there are ten more people who freak out because of the removal of the lightbulbs and then it's entirely about how it's dark now and the fandom is over.
