Still, I don't think it's such a great thing to be called "rabid". I want to be taken seriously, y'know? <BR/><BR/>Regarding "Supernatural": There are a lot of great people in that fandom, but the fandom can be very opinionated and negative about certain characters or story arcs, and all that negativity gets to you. It's beyond criticism, some of those fans are overprotective of their favorite characters in a rather irrational way. It's scary.<BR/><BR/>For some people, it's not just important to watch a show they like, they want to be involved in its fandom as well, and some fandoms are scarier than others.<BR/><BR/>What Matt Roush is saying is that in comparison, he's received more irrational fan letters from Blood Ties fans than from Moonlight fans... which is a relief. There are always a bunch of crazies in every fandom, but apparently, Moonlight fans aren't all that scary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449150747023933516.post-22836273858993340772008-03-18T14:47:00.000-05:002008-03-18T14:47:00.000-05:00anonymous #1 - I think the fans of Moonlight, of w...anonymous #1 - I think the fans of Moonlight, of which I am apart, and gladly don't mind being "rabid" about it....are rabid because of all the NEGATIVE response to it immediately out of the gate, especially, the Blood Ties, Forever Knight and Angel fans.

I believe that he meant that he receives email wherein the "Blood Ties" fans state that their show is better than ours ("Beats the pants off"). I'm pretty sure that he meant quality rather than quantity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449150747023933516.post-9504388849851128292008-03-18T12:14:00.000-05:002008-03-18T12:14:00.000-05:00Frankly, I'm glad that in comparison, Blood Ties f...Frankly, I'm glad that in comparison, Blood Ties fans seem to come across as more rabid than Moonlight fans. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable to be called "rabid". I'm passionate about Moonlight and deeply in love with the show, but there's a line, y'know? I don't wanna be mistaken for an irrational, rabid fan.<BR/><BR/>IMHO, it's great to be passionate about a show, but some fandoms scare me and I'd hate Moonlight to become one of them. <BR/><BR/>I like Supernatural, for example, but I don't want become too involved with that fandom because there's a level of hostility towards different opinions out there that I don't want to be part of. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully, Moonlight fans will come across as more respectful towards other shows and other people's opinions that might be different from their own. <BR/><BR/>I've never understood why people say "My show is better than yours." Sure, there are always objective and subjective criteria to be considered, but in the end, it all comes down to taste. Decrying Moonlight won't make Blood Ties the superior show or vice versa. <BR/><BR/>By the way, thank you for sharing your thoughts via this blog! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
