So apparently Orlando Jones reads (
and tweets links to)
Sleepy Hollow fanfic. Some of it, yes, R-rated. He also
reblogs ridiculous fannish graphics with generally-fandom-only tags like "shipping wars." And goes so far as to
suggest potential fic plots. Apparently
he's heard of mpreg. I'm getting tired of linking individual things and will just send you to
an article detailing it all.Part of me thinks that's hilarious and awesome. A larger part of me is screaming, "DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!!!" I know, I know, social media has blown the fourth wall to smithereens, but...I liked the fourth wall. It was comfy. And supportive. This makes me a fandom dinosaur, but I miss when fandom was underground.
That said, with
a post tagged "I was a fan boy long before this," I do rather get the impression Jones made the progression from fandom-->creator side of things rather than the other way around, which make it less awkward than it could be. Also, the way he's subtly trolling the fandom has made me burst out laughing a few times, so there's that.
I did watch the third episode of the show, and I'm hanging in there, but I do think it's time to start bringing some ironing or sewing to do while I watch. Camp is fun in a movie, but starts to get a little tiresome in a TV show.

In other news, I decided to go ahead and do Yuletide this year. I have my letter and sign ups ready to go. Bring it on!
