Viewing nominees for "Best fan" I thought about how it has changed the meaning of being a good fan. He had written a small manifest but I deleted so do not promise anything really artistic. Went something like this:
What is a good fan?
Each person can have their own definition, but I think all will agree that has to do with knowing your show / book / movie / etc. The name of the character that appears in a paragraph? Does the color of the shirt that used in the first scene of the movie star? The girl of a womanizing night of the show? A fan btuen knows. The best fan, at least, you know. No? But good fan also knows that his series has and has not.
not be a good fan is not to say "MY SERIES IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD IS WONDERFUL AND HAS NOTHING BAD OMG YES." Being a good fan is saying "Yes, my series is very good but lacks that, but it falls into another." And be a good fan has to do with being able to differentiate the charge of my own imagination. And I think most l @ s @ s nominee fails at that point.
take an example. If I say "The Dumbledore / Ginny is SO canon ", what would you say? Yes? No? Are you crazy, woman, go and read books? That's probably the latter. "Go read the books." And that is the key.
to me a couple may love it, but say it's canon when it is clearly against the canon is annoying. Is to tell the author "Very nice your work, but I do better." One thing to say "I want X" and another thing to say "X IS CANON. A good fan knows to differentiate. The best fan should be clear.
why I refuse to vote for someone who says "X and Y are madly in love" just because you can not leave their fantasy that HAS to be gay in a particular fandom or not working, au n When the frame turn around almost obsessive love one with his wife. I can love the Drarry, but if I say that it is canon that Harry and Ginny have feelings for each other, I have a problem to distinguish reality from fantasy severe.
fan What is better? Does that recognizes your partner is a product of fantasíay accepts the canon but not always like it better, or who choose to live in the fantasy that you created in your head? For me it is the first. I'm not saying you can not have your partners, but you should be able to say "No, this is not canon as much as I like, so I will not go touting the canon that is when it is not."
After all, if I'm a fan of the couple that I've created, I can be the best fan of all. I have only to throw the trash fee to be a fan of my fantasy.
And that goes for all the fans who call themselves "the best fan of X". No, for me you're not the biggest fan of X, but the best fan in your fantasy X.
I said. Stones at me.
