Do tell. I haven't heard about anything, but I'm not on tumblr anymore, so I miss a lot of fandom drama.

You're never realistically going to date or even meet him, so don't bother feeling weird.

NA, but the first wank I ever saw regarding the need for such a rule was on the Inception kink meme back in 2010.

I'd also think the Hetalia Wars of late 2008-early 2009 would have something to do with it too.

A couple Civil Rights Movement and segregation AUs have been floating around tumblr lately and there was one posted on AO3 a few days ago that was apparently focused on the white savior trope and the fic had author's tags that were very out of touch and ignorant.

There's a lot of racial drama playing out on tumblr right now, mostly centering around two things: 1. people who are still uncomfortable with a white woman/black man; 2. whitewashing Poe or handwaving the fact that he's Latino by saying he can pass for white.

I can't say I'm surprised that people are writing romantic fics set against tragic historical events since this has always been a problem in fandom.

I'd add Supernatural to the list as well, especially the Jared/Jensen fic about the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Dragon age and mass effect. I think the DA kink meme is probably one of the oldest still churning out prompts/fills meme communities still alive.

I remember that drama and damn did it explode all over fandom. SPN had a couple of these things happen.

Wow, I still rememner that. That Haiti fic was one of the worst things I ever read.

Don't forget the Cambodia story. That was a few years before the Haiti one, if I remember correctly.

Don't Hamilton and Les Mis have civil rights AUs? I swear I recall seeing some, but I don't know if it caused the same level of wank.

Kylo is taken prisoner by the Resistance during the Starkiller battle. Poe is ready to give him a piece of his mind, but whoops he's more attractive than he should be, all bedraggled and put in his place.

...tbh I might end up taking it myself if no one else does.

It will probably be posted to an icon community somewhere on Livejournal whenever I get something done I'm happy with and can find a comm that's still active.

I second, I'd be super interested in becoming a beta. I have a very small list of ships, but I'm sure i could still be of use to someone.

Looks like backstage at a talk show of some sort.
