Unpopular fandomeme

Pinched this one from perdiccas and terraswrath.

Ask me about anything fannish and I will give you my unpopular opinion about it.

It can be anything, from shows, ships to fandom itself; all unpopular opinions will be genuine. If I don't have an unpopular opinion on something, I'm not going to make it up.

I'm not going to bitch for the sake of it, but if I do have something less than popular to say, I won't keep it to myself.

I haven't had a lot of involvement with fanfic awards because I'm neither that prolific a writer or contributor to any particular fandom. However, I'm not sure that fandom, which for me is something that's supposed to be fun and freeing, needs to be made competitive.

The couple of fanfic awards I am aware of look from the outside to be a big jerk-off of the inner circle of that particular fandom; a mutual patting on the back leaving those who are less prolific feeling excluded and not needed or wanted.
