Actual message board quotes:

True writing talent comes from inspirational ideas, vision and creativity. The boring technical stuff can be done by others.

The characters are not there to serve your super-special plot. Rather, your plot should serve the characters. This a fundamental rule of writing in someone else’s universe. *I* obey it and I don’t even get paid, you fuckwads.

Two different people, two different message boards, two different fandoms. And yet, both very telling about the nature of fandom in general, I think. And you?
