Actually, I think it's a pretty old fandom. My Chemical Romance has been around since 2002 and Fall Out Boy has been around for 4 or 5 years. I think it's just gotten BIGGER over the last two years because of all the baby bands springing up out of Fall Out Boys pants or something. But yeah. It's just kind of wank free.

I think that's partly because it's ALL RPS, so there's no holier than thou types running around telling people how they shouldn't write it. It's also mostly boys and they wear EYELINER so I mean... they kind of bring the slash on themselves. :P

It's also strangely pro female. Everyone likes the girlfriends and the women in the bands. I know of two wanks in that fandom, one having to do with whether or not Patrick Stump is drinking a beer in a picture (it was mostly considered ridiculous) and the other was started by an SPN person actually. :D It was about whether or not the "stage gay" the bands have going is insulting to people who are actually gay. Because this girl is actually gay and she took offense to them making out on stage and then going home to their wives and girlfriends.

So, don't jinx us Jey!

Would I do that? *looks innocent*

I just meant it was new to most of the SPN people falling for its shine. :0) The truth is some fandoms are just nicer and less... opiniated. *g*

My theory was always that it was a question of size. Like all fandoms are wank free when they are new and shiny and once they have grown to a certain size... only that there are some tiny fandoms that can be rather vicious and insane too.... Hmm.

I still think that maybe certain cooling off periods have something to do with it. If the fandom is new and shiny everybody is happy and busy exporing everything. As soon as everything has set in, some of the original shine has been lost, once people have comfortably settling into their positions of power, they suddenly have time to wank about the dumbest things.
