i respectfully object to your analogy, sir

Dear fandom at large and fandom wank and ATLA fandom in particular,

Stop comparing Zutarians to Harmonians. Please stop, for me. I never liked that pairing. And if we're going to be compared to rabid delusional fans, I'd much rather be compared to Spuffy fans. Or Doctor/Rose fans. Because I like those ships better, and I've been called nasty things as a member of those as well.

It's kind of a shallow request, I know, but humor me here. Hell, "SPUFFY" is shorter to type and easier to spell than "HARMONIAN" anyway.

P.S. And really, we Zutarians haven't earned it. Compared to the three fandoms above, we are tiny, and so is our wank. Which I'm okay with. Although we are apparently big enough to get a voice actor to make a little tribute video to us, which is still pretty freaking funny. See previous post.

I was a H/Hr fan (I never used the "Harmonian" description because it seemed to be linked to crazies). The difference for me, however, is that I found I didn't like how HP was going and simply stopped reading it. Well, I do admit to being very irritated with JKR for the "need to reread the books" and "delusional" things, because those are still your fans, you know. But with Avatar, I didn't have any expectation for Zutara to happen, so I didn't stop enjoying the show itself, even if I am not satisfied with the ending.

I stopped having real expectations for ATLA pairings in season 2, so I can't identify with that betrayed feeling either. About the only thing that I *did* expect that didn't happen was that I expected it to be less romantic overall.

Oh man, me too. I was taken aback by all the making out that suddenly popped up, haha. I actually wanted there to be less romance.
