crossover_chick: gif with Doc and Marty trying to get out of being written into twisted AUs (In a sarcastic mood)
I have rage! Unfortunately, it is the kind of rage which requires research, which I don't want to do.
-Muses: *absolutely confused*-
-VD2: What in the name of Sir Isaac H. Newton upset you?-
The Corpse Bride fandom!
-D: *facepalm* I thought you said you weren't looking at the FF.net forums anymore.-
No, this happened on devART. I came across a fandom quiz somebody did in their journal -- the person's a Victor/Victoria shipper, and she was going, "I don't hate Emily, but she has too many fans, too many people want to do Victor/Emily AUs, blah blah blah"
-TD: I fail to see the reason for the "rage," as you put it.-
Let me put it this way -- there are two many shipping camps in CB fandom, as is only natural. Let's call them VVs (Victor/Victoria shippers) and VEs (Victor/Emily shippers). Each group has their own unique fault:

VEs bash. VVs whine.
Fandom ranting below )

-TTV: Oooh, God. . .don't any of them get along?-
. . . Actually, yes. I should point out that, over here on LJ, I saw the VVs and VEs actually getting along pretty well. And the VanDorks group on devART -- Victor's fanclub -- has (or had, at least) three officers -- one a VV, one a VE, and one a Victor/Other. Really, it isn't all fans who act like that. It's just those certain ones -- ! And I think it's a bit worse for me because of my Victoria/Victor/Emily shipping ways -- I get the feeling I'm seeing even more of the worst of the stupid because I'm right in the middle. God, I'd kill for a good threesome fic. There's not really any on FF.net.
-VD2: Really? None?-
There's a couple that come close -- one where Emily basically picks up Victor and Victoria upon their deaths, one where Victoria tells Victor she'll give him back to Emily after they die, and the one I feel is the closest, where Victoria gives Victor back to Emily, only to have them call her back and tell her, "Come with us -- we won't be happy without you." Not quite what I'm looking for, though I suppose what I'm looking for I'll have to write myself.
-M: *jokingly* You can't even pretend with any of the slash fics?-
No, though that's just because I find the premise of a couple implausible. I'm certainly not against Victoria/Emily, because of my threesome leanings, but really, any that start with Victoria putting the ring on Emily's finger should have this happen:
Emily: *rises from ground, lifts veil* I d-- you're a girl.
This is fictional repressed Victorian England, people. Get some mileage out of the fact they'd be angsting about their lesbianism on top of the potential necrophilia.
-MF: I think you need to go back to your Victor/Alice corner.-
I think I do too. I'm sorry for ranting at you all -- I just wanted it off my chest, and the people I want to rant to -- well, half aren't around anymore, and of those who remain, the ones who would get it aren't the ones I'm complaining about, and the ones I'm complaining about would probably just go, "Oh she's a V/_ shipper, figures." It doesn't help that I had kind of a lousy day at work, AND the red curse showed up about three hours ago. *sulks*
-HD: *hesitantly offers tea* Perhaps you should go back to reading your screencap playthrough?-
Yeah, I should. Getting close to the end here. And I really ought to figure out some sort of image to make for Valentine's. . . .
