Dear Veronica Mars fandom... move on

[lodessa]

On my latest poll... which not so very many people have taken. I have gotten 2 write in votes for me to write Logan/Veronica. This makes me wonder if some of my lj friends even read my journal. Anyone who has been here more than 5 minutes should know that I boycott even reading Veronica/Logan fic. It's not because I hate the pairing in canon, I totally enjoyed the latter part of season 1 as much as anyone, but because fandom is totally monomaniac about it. There are days in the vm_navigator where literally every fic linked is Logan/Veronica... and that's not because the editors are biased but because that's what's posted. Dear Fandom, GET OVER IT. Or it not, at least could you respect my choice to strike? There are a ton of great characters on Veronica Mars... and I am glad to see that recently there's been more Logan/Weevil (my OTP) and Veronica/Weevil (my guilty pleasure) out there. Yes fandom, there are other characters than Logan and Veronica. Yesterday I posted Veronica/Clarence Wiedman and a few people even read it (although most of my commenters did so anonymously because I guess it was a secret shame to like it?). I know fandoms are always dumb, each one in thier own special way in addition to general patterns, but this is my soapbox and honestly fandom you have killed Logan/Veronica. Good job. Also: LoVe...little ship names are always bad and yours makes me want to throw up.

LoVe is definitely too cutesy a name

It's one of those "just because you can doesn't mean you should" things

Hi, you're my hero.

I'd love to see more canonical L/V, but I can't stand to read any of it in fandom because much of it is in fact unreadable. The only time I'll go near it is if someone I know and whose taste I trust recs it to me--I don't seek it out. After awhile it just gets boring and repetitive.

(I am, however, all over the Logan/Weevil as my fanon OTP. Why isn't there more of it? Woe.)

Glad to feel less alone. It really does just get terribly repetitive.

Sigh. I keep thinking fandom is going to catch on to the whole Logan/Weevil thing... I mean this season has been so full of great subtext.

Wow, I think you have more eloquently summed up my dislike of Veronica/Logan than I ever could. And I agree, Veronica Mars fic is so one note sometimes. I'm on a similar boycott of Logan/Veronica fic. I probably wouldn't mind it as much if there was other stuff out there, but there isn't. *sigh*

I'm just going through your old posts... don't mind me. The random stranger commenting on your posts because she found out you like Veronica/Clarence. *whistles*

Comment away my dear. Comments are love. (but not in the horrid lemming LoVe way). I'm totally excited to know someone that likes Veronica/Clarence, who is still into the show.
