Yes, I am an academic and a fan (can you see my horns there?)

Oh, fandom! Why always with the Wank?

I have no words because ... well, right now, I am slowly but surely disengaging. I might become re-interested in the future, who knows, but right now? Right now, Agatha is dead (I accidentally killed her while committing Twilight fic) and fandom gives me a whopping big headache.

To clarify, I squee over my flist and meta, not actual wank. Though I confess to finding it guiltily entertaining when I am far enough from it.

You are totally made of awesome AND smart, enjoying the wank from afar. I made the mistake of reading a snippet of the anti-academic thing, attempting to get an understanding on the why of it, and was totally offended. Got my little panties in a twist. I stopped reading and let it go. Except that I'm finding less and less fandom related stuff occuring in my LJ and on my flist and that's making me sad. And very disconnected.

Woe.
