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.

You are right that as a pairing we have more in common with Spuffy than we'll ever have with H/Hr (Thank God *cough*) but I understand how awful it feels to have the creator(s) of the story you love tell you your ship is never going to happen and you're crazy for thinking it could (even in fanfic).

Maybe I just don't identify much with that feeling. I was more puzzled than hurt by that reaction from creators, and even then I was surprised not at the fact that they had no intentions of it, but the fact that they were surprised we did. Still, it was more mild confusion for me than feeling hurt or indignation. And I think indignation is what a lot of people associate with HP ships like H/Hr. But, again, this is my own feelings on the matter, not necessarily others'.
