I've quoted it before. And I've quoted it again. And again. And again. And a few months from now, I'll probably quote it again.

So here it is.

Actor Ian McKellen, who plays Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings films, says on his Web site: "I find nothing harmful in sharing fantasies about favourite characters or their interpreters even real person stories seem unobjectional as they are clearly fictional."

and that's all I have to say about that.

well played. *applause*

What I find so hilarious is that in an entry from maybe a week ago, this person said something like how some people, like the actors or the media, think that fanfic writers ought to be ashamed of their work, which *she does not appreciate* (totally paraphrased, but it's point number 4, here. Cracks me up.

It's just so tired to be a drama queen about this. I don't understand why she didn't f-lock the post in the first place, since it seemed to be addressed to her flist. Or, you know, back speedily away from the evil slashy fandom.

Well, to be fair SOME fanfic writers should be ashamed. :p *runs away*
