As someone relatively new to this fandom - I'll admit freely that it was all by extreme chance that I even found it at all - I have a limited understanding of ships, shipper-wars, socks and all the other related and seemingly bizarre language and acronyms associated with LJ and its communities.
I am here to play with people who share my love of the various fandoms
And I am here for a similar reason. I friend those whose work captures my imagination and attention. I have learned quickly that one shouldn't disregard one persons work over another based on pairing or squick - one never knows what one will like until _after_ you've seen it. And as for other fandoms and its fiction and art - why not look at it and appreciate the TALENT of the artist and not get so hung up in judging the CONTENT.
I hate seeing the things I love and communities I lurk in disintegrating into childish school yard wars over ridiculous things. We are all fans and that's all that should matter.
