iceinyourmusicI was programming the VCR to tape Felicity for mother and wondered about what the Felicity fandom must be like, whether or not it exists. Like, are there epic Felicity/Ben (Fen) vs. Felicity/Noel (Foel) shipper fights? Which are then sneered at by the die-hard Ben/Noel OTP slashers, and the one girl writing Felicity/Elena and Meghan/Elena on alternate weeks (she has multiple icons with "elenaissogay" as the caption). Does the fringe element experiment with Felicity's counselor/Noel's brother/Sean 3somes? And is there a clique of BOF(elicity)Qs regularly posting to proclaim that the show's gone downhill ever since Felicity first cut her hair and thus none of the later seasons should really count as canon?
(Except, of course, no offense intended towards any actual Felicity fen. probably.)
Also, the Daily Mail article about JC and Justin made me go "Are you for real?" every three sentences or so. Clearly, I need someone to remind me (periodically) that I'm trying to keep track of a fandom where the canon is (in which three ways?) not like other canon, nowadays. Still have the flaming baby metafishes swimming around in my head about the whole canon issue, in FPF as well as RPF, from the angle of its readerly relevance, but more on that later, where "more on that later" is code for "not in this lifetime". Also for "let dead horses lie unbeaten".
