Panels Redux (the Quiet Voices are Louder on Paper Remix)

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

I for one was fascinated by the depth and breadth of ideas on display at g/t, and would like to hear more. This is the first time I'm trying something like this, so we'll see if it works.

I'm going to repost some (as many as I can remember) of the prompt questions as top level comments to this post. Anyone who wants to contribute, please reply to the appropriate comment. If you have a question of your own, please follow the format I've used and add a top level comment of your own. I'll then add it to the master list.

Rules: fairly standard, in so far as respect and tolerance for diversity of opinion. With one addition: we are a community so we should be just that tiny bit gentler/more careful to be sure we remain the stunning bunch of intelligent, thoughtful women we are. <3 <3 <3

6. Putting the TOOL into TPTB

From Lyn: "Russell T Davies, Eric Kripke, Everyone at Stargate... Who pisses you off most?"

I add: And why? Feel free to criticise any other boneheaded moves by bigwigs in this thread. The politeness filter is turned down slightly on this one (though remember to be nicer to your fellow fen -- TPTB get the big bucks and do the screwing up so focus on them).

I'm pretty sure the All Time Biggest Asshole Award still goes to Chris Carter. I watched and cried and held my breath for seven years in the X-Files, and what did I get? Nothing. Two new agents, a mythology that made no sense whatsoever, character assassination of *my* agents, no emotional pay-off to the biggest UST of all time, a baby they conceived without apparently having sex that was then adopted by the Kents...

Screw you, CC!

To which I cry, 'and so say all of us!' X-Files is my only truly ex-fandom, and it's for all those reasons that you so cogently elucidate. *g*

Could be that I'm just getting a lot more cynical about things, especially when the producers/creators start being interactive with the fandom. It's almost expected, really.
