Yeah, so apparently someone was bugged enough by me to call me the Biggest Attention Whore in TW Fandom on the anonymeme. And I never even READ the anonymeme, I only went there because of the Tennant news and the fact that everything else was down due to fandom implosion. I'm quite honoured, not for the Attention Whore thing (which I find odd, I don't post to comms and I hardly ever comment anywhere, so if I'm whoring for your attention, you must be reading my LJ on your flist, so defriend me already), but I am quite honoured to be called SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL AND CLEVER. Clever, especially.
Most of what I read on LJ when it comes to Torchwood is meta rambling, and there are a lot of people out there who are a lot more clever than I am on that front. Most of what I write on LJ about Torchwood is meta rambling, mostly concerning Jack/Ianto, a relationship I don't ship, but love to scrutinise because IT'S THERE and it's so fucking ambiguous and I love ambiguous. Most of what I've been doing lately is reposting pictures for my flist who don't do DWF for whatever reason, because I like sharing the pretty. On that note, yeah, I think GDL is pretty. I had a discussion in one of my posts that I ended up deleting because the original poster deleted their comments, but the gist was that I don't worship the guy. (I worship Ianto, don't get me wrong, I have more love for Ianto that I have ever had for a fictional character, ever.) I think he's a good little actor and he's pretty, but I reckon he's probably a bit of a dick IRL, the reason I don't really mention that a lot, is that, apart from my outburst about Barrowman last week, I don't particularly like discussing the personalities of actual people in my LJ, those of you who read regularly will know I'm not interested in people's private lives and relationships, I don't like RPF and I'm not really into RL gossip and such. I'll talk about his cock and pies until the cows come home because it's a superficial hypocritical thing I like to do and it keeps me amused, and everyone who knows me and shares my sense of humour knows that both of those things only serve as an excuse for me to post gratuitous pictures of him on a daily basis, because, like I said if you read back, I think he's pretty. I had an outburst about JB and GDL's behaviour at The Hub, not because of what they did, because I don't particularly give a flying fuck WHAT they do, but because the repercussions of what they did seemed to be focussing on the fans, and fannish responsibility to keep these things to yourself and I think that's a ridiculous approach to take because it causes wank. And much like some of the posters on the anonymeme, all those icons of JB and GDL snogging make me feel a bit weird. But that's just me.
So, yeah, whatever, I stand by what I said ages ago, I think TW fandom's a lovely place to be and the people in it are warm and fuzzy and cool and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, so, you know, go fuck yourself.
I put that last line in to be shocking and controversial.
ETA: The reason I'm bringing this up is a) to be an attention whore, obviously, but mostly b) because I started that wankish post about Barrowman last week because I was in a really bitchy mood and looking for a fight, a state that I'm not actually in that often (at home, yes, online, not so much) but that thread backfired because I ended up with 90-odd comments which consisted of people being really quite nice to me and freaking me the fuck out. If I'd known what was going on in the anonymeme at that point in time, I'd have felt much, much better. The fucking irony.
