Rabbit rabbit fanfiction
Aug. 1st, 2006 11:59 pmLife presents us with many unanswered questions. I've already figured out why I'm here (to have a good time), so I'm moving on to the next one on my list.
Why do fandoms for television shows that are comedies end up being saturated with fanfiction that's filled with angst, drama, torture, non-con, injury, death, and generally non-funny situations?
I've been working on this one for months and the only answers I came up with is that the writers either can't do comedy (which is really hard in my opinion) or it's their attempt at giving depth to something that sometimes can be rather two-dimensional.
Anyone else have a theory?
I'd like to get this one answered so I can move on to my next question: What happens to sour cream after it expires?

We know the answers for our fandom...

I didn't know you had any experience in A-Team fandom.
Oh, yeah, LAS' trouble is that there's only like eight people that write and one of them is a parsnip.

Oh...and you might want to check your email if you haven't done so recently. Evidently, there was a technical oops at Wizard Con. They said my tickets are going to be at the pick-up window now since they couldn't mail them out in time. If you haven't got yours yet, they'll have sent an email with a confirmation number you'll need to bring to pick them up if yours were in the 'oops' batch.
