Jul. 3rd, 2013 08:40 amCould someone please enlighten me as to what caused the Gaze fandom to explode this time? I went on Tumblr last night and saw a ton of confessions and secrets accusing fans of saying other fans weren’t “real Sixth Guns,” saying that the fandom is a HUGE SOURCE OF STRESS and making reference to a “yaoi clique” within the fandom. This wouldn’t have anything to do with that gag post someone made this week about “Why Ruki Is Gay,” would it? That post was VERY clearly a joke and a parody of the typical fangirl mindset – I think the OP even labeled it a joke.
This kind of makes me very happy that I stick to the Kai-centric/UruKai corner of the fandom, which is mellow, happy and has nice people. We miss out on all the wank.
Speaking of which, I’m looking forward to a very productive summer of writing. I’m currently editing my fic for a certain somebody’s birthday on Friday (though it will most likely be posted tomorrow – hey, after noon, it’s his birthday in Japan, right?). I thought it was long, but until I saw the word count last night, I didn’t realize HOW long. It broke 11,000 words easily. Eeep. Y hallo thar, LJ post limits. Looks like I’ll be splitting it in two to post it. (I’ve been dropping hints as to the fic’s subject matter on my Tumblr, BTW).
Also,
kai_pleasure just issued its Summer Ghost Fic Challenge, and
ldybastet has started The Penisy Kinks Bingo – a fun, low-pressure writing challenge created in response to the dissatisfaction several of us had with this year’s official Kink Bingo kinks list. If you’re into writing Teh Pronz and are curious about doing the kinky stuff, I strongly recommend giving it a try. You’ll have plot bunnies hopping around in no time!
