We got nothing on them

[sombrefan]

Now the Jossverse fandom has had its fair share of angst, drama and internecine warfare.

A few examples:

The Kittens
Shipping wars - too numerous and yawn inducing to mention
The Save Wash campaign (a po-faced effort to get Universal to force Joss to edit and reshoot Serenity).
Cordy angst
Spike is evil/wonderful
The secret reason why some people don't like Sarah Michelle Gellar (but I'll perhaps address that in a later post)
Marti Noxon hate

Anyhow some people may be aware of trouble in the Harry Potter fandom. When I say trouble I mean epic and damaging. My fandom has nothing on this one.

So without further ado, I gave you the MsScribe story which came via Fandom Wank. 90000 words on how one fan manipulated a fandom. It is highly recommended reading.

Re: There was a Save Wash campaign?!?

I think the way the Simpsons did it with Fallout Boy would be the best way: have someone do a little ADR in the final battle going, "We're in a tight situation, eh WASH?" and cut to a shot of Wash from earlier in the film, maybe on a different planet, or sitting in Serenity's cockpit, saying, "Yes." Nobody would be able to tell!
