OK- when I was in the H/d fandom about every 8 months, there would be someone complaining about how the bnf's controlled everything in that fandom. The bnf's, instead of saying "hmm-this keeps happening. What can we-because we care about fandom-do to ease this!" they ignore it and people are pissed or leave because of it. This has gone on for years. It was ONE of the reasons I finally left that fandom. The final straw was when I defriended someone who complained because -in the bottom draco comm- someone had commented distaste for them switching. Not your fic sucks, Not your characterization blows, but we-don't-like-it-because-your-fic-has-them-switch and wer' re-here-in-a-bottom-draco-comm-wanting-bottom-draco. And with 64 comments(when I defriended) feeding into this self absorbent bullshit. I have some very good friends in the fandom and some are the so called BNF's and I don't know why they won't handle it.
I LOVE the batman/joker fandom because it is so drama free.
