In which we sit in on a panel from this last weekend's WisCon: How to Ship Without Being a Jerk, and Other Guidelines for Being Good Citizens of Fandom
"Everybody hates shipper wars, but nobody trusts the cult of nice, and at some point many of us have been tempted to send a snarky postcard/email/tweet to the Author or Showrunner Who Ruined It All Because They Just Didn't Get It. But just because the Powers that Be are the worst doesn't mean we have to be. How do we have conversations about the fandoms we all love without ruining friendships? Are those even the right goals? If not, what is a better way to look at it?"
Panelists: Ty Blauersouth (mod), Leigh Hellmann, KJ, and yours truly.
