The all-time high performer of my website! I’m a little stunned at the reach this one has gotten. Like with my Metaphorical Incest post, I won’t be reposting the whole thing, but the link to the original post is below:
While much like Metaphorical Incest, there are some things I’d clean up, I’m still quite happy with the column itself. I want to get back to these kinds of columns – I’ve just been so burnt out and tired.
One fun note: This post made it onto Dreamwidth’s “FailFandomAnon” community, where it was found interesting and fascinating – right up until they “recognized” me from some prior hit posts, at which point they suddenly cared about the veracity of their sources. “I’m not taking fandom advice from THAT guy” rings a little hollow from an anon community, that’s all.
