Fan fiction and related works: do people aside from their creators really enjoy it?

Hahahaha, you must be referring to Star Trek reboot, because original Trek is the craziest everrrrrr.

And yes. I think people talked down the person who wanted to do that. That doesn’t mean fans haven’t presented the actors with other, horribly embarrassing presents. whyyyyyyyyyy do they do this? Have they no sense of boundaries? Ugh it makes my skin crawl. Of course, I can’t even bear watching con videos on YouTube, I have such embarrassment squick.

And look, I’ll be the first one to admit that there are some loony people in my fandom, but it’s a big one, and most of the people are nice, not crazy, and productive members of society.

We don’t like to talk about that one woman in England who has covered her entire bedroom with pictures of Jared Padalecki.

If I remember correctly, someone(s?) in the Smallville fandom once gave Michael Rosenbaum a box of sex toys.

Used?

OK, I just checked, and it doesn’t seem like it. Thank god.

Oh, wow, I had almost forgotten Ratliff and his creation, Marrissa Amber Flores Picard, who was adopted by Jean-Luc Picard, became a captain herself at a ridiculously early age, married young, and was crowned royalty of Essex (was it a whole planet? I forgot that part.) She truly was the biggest Mary Sue that ever Mary Sue’d. Ebony Dementia Dark’ness Raven Way (of the infamous Harry Potter fic My Immortal) couldn’t hold a candle to her. :stuck_out_tongue:

I must admit if there’s anyone who might find that kind of thing funny, it’s Michael Rosenbaum. Misha Collins would also probably have some choice words for that sort of thing.

I would probably die of embarrassment if it happened, but you’re right, Misha would totally find it funny.

Heh. Funny thing is, the original Mary Sue was from a Star Trek fic…from a fanzine in 1974.

Apparently it was a parody. Thank the old gods in heaven. :smiley:

After looking at the fanfic, I went and looked up Ms. Flores to see what canon actually said about her. Her Memory Alpha article is short enough that I’ll quote in its entirety:

Sure. For a wank.
