We *are* friends though, for longer than nearly all of my friendships. Sure, Lotrips was an unrepeatable high point, but we have a solid bond, and there are lovely new people to meet as well.

And I mean, I don't think LOTRIPS happens without the insane number of DVD commentaries on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. THIS IS OUR HISTORY PEOPLE, VITAL CULTURAL INFORMATION, AND WE ARE JUST THROWING IT AWAY.

remember when it was called "actorfic" and highly frowned on, and there were big debates about whether NSYNC or lotrips should be allowed places?

This was the upside of Lotrips, you could put it all under one umbrella name.

Everyone reply or QRT with the first fandom you read fan fic for, the platform you read it on, and how old you were at the time. I'll go first

Listen, I came up in Lotrips & I even wrote RPS as recently as The Untamed, but it's one thing when it's on AO3 & LJ (this is how old I am) & quite another when you are putting it out there where it's causing harm to the people involved.
NEW: “Real life is not a romance novel, and the athletes in these leagues are not fictional characters. In their enthusiasm to see their favorite show reflected in the real world, some ‘Heated Rivalry’ fans are behaving in ways that feel all kinds of icky.”
how 'heated rivalry' brought toxic fandom to the olympics
athletes do not exist to be used as objects by fans who want to escape into a feel-good fantasy

I'm so out of lotrips these days, and even mostly out of fic. I most reliably read in The Untamed & Beyond Evil.
