SUMMARY: The Complacency of the Learned fandom isn’t big enough for both of them, and neither of them is going to be the one that flounces first.
EXCERPT: (This report is for a nonnie mouse, who asked for a rundown on the recent Complacency of the Learned drama!)
The Complacency of the Learned fandom has been at it again.
It all started when crownandtablet, big name artist and mod of the main fic archive, made a post advertising a brand-new CotL fic exchange.
Good news, right? More beardy action for the masses?
Turns out, only certain kinds of staff fondling are eligible: to hold back the deluge of fanwizards, it’s limited to canon characters only. More importantly for this wank, crownandtablet defines canon characters as “any wizard from the main series”. When asked to clarify if any of the eldritch horrors are included, she replies “we know that some people have, Um, very strong headcanons to say the least, bUt since the Unknowable ones are never properly depicted in the series, we ask that everyone sticks to canon!”
byanyothername, BNF, mod of the kinkmeme (check_and_mate), and very dedicated enthusiast of all things writhy and Iä Iä Fhtagny, takes objection to this. On her dreamwidth she simply posts “On one hand, it’s nice to know that my reputation precedes me.”
