I wish I was enough of a bitch to tell them that if they're using fanfic as an alternative to therapy, they could at least have the good grace to keep John out of it.
That...actually makes a warped kind of sense, considering how much fandom identifies with Rodney. Though, yeah, why John? Canons full of bad guys, borrow one of them!
I think a lot of those people don't even know that what they're reading is horrible OOC crap. *That* is what scares me.
Yes, that! I mean, I've got stories I love that are pretty OOC (though nowhere near that bad) but at least I know they're OOC. And also, no-one's randomly a bad guy in them, or randomly helpless.
There ought to be a 'what's actually IC?' quiz before people can be part of a fandom, and if you score below 70%, you're out.
