...I have no idea what I just read. How would Claire joining the cast for the publicity tour help anything? I guess the one upside to this mess is the summary doesn't seem to be putting Claire and Forest together. This also sounds more like what happened at that one OUAT panel.

Ikr? "The gays are angry so take a shipping chick on set"? What kind of unrealistic idea?

[ Spoiler (click to open) ] some (1) of the reviews mention a contest where she was the obvious winner? lol either way it was ridiculous and handwavy

Oh no... Is it a ~straight savior~ trope? That the LGBT shipper fans ~get their way~ because of her "championing"? As if this didn't sound cringeworthy enough already.

Underage chick. Do we know how old the cast is in the story's show?

It also sounds like something that happened with Supergirl. This book is acting as if fandom knows best and their opinions are valued when nearly every show and showrunner with overly involved fandoms for the past ten years have all but said “fuck you” to fandoms both textually and irl

Reading this made me cringe so hard. The second hand embarrassment and, also, shot plot say what? Hire her? A random fan/fic author? You kidding me?

No thanks. That summary is enough.



Leave fanfic/fanart/fandom where it should be, aka, not in the mainstream media. On the same topic, I hate when fanfic writers say they want to try to have their fics published as originals because that means they'll eventually might take them down... Thank god for fic downloads.

Oh, for sure! That's precisely why I hate when they want to get the fic published, because it means they'll take it down for AO3/ff.net in case they manage to get a deal.

Since m/m is one of the biggest genres, mpreg is a popular subgenre because shippers want to see their male faves popping a kid and going through pregnancy. As to how they justify it... Well, it depends, but it can be hilariously bad, lol.

I think it's the most popular genre. Basically a misogynistic/sexist trash of a genre, so of course is super popular
