Absolutely true, but it's become a self-creating problem - the handful of good fans who do write non-slashy stuff get overlooked, dissatisfied, and leave fairly quickly, which results in just fostering the current issue further. I've always hoped at some point in the future to try to establish a fansite for fanon that would lack... the kind of issues that plague the rest, and hopefully help reconcile the fandom. It's always been tragic to me because if you look at how the fandom was ten years ago, it was truly amazing. A lot of the old stuff's been lost, unfortunately, but there were a lot of fansites that were fantastic for the time, and it was all very close-knit. If I hadn't found these sites first, I wouldn't have gotten into writing in general as much as I have.

My understanding of the Mysterion Trilogy hatred is a lot of people feeling explaining Kenny's deaths makes it less funny, or I've also heard it hurts the original Coon. I try to examine the episodes as stand-alones - I love continuity and overall storyline, but these even each arc in an episode are produced one-by-one. 200/201, I think you're spot-on. I personally generally can see some value in every episode after a time - even those I dislike can usually have some redeeming qualities. But it takes a while for me to settle on new episodes sometimes. Almost all of Season 15 I would hate at the initial airing and rewatch and love later.

Thanks. For the most part I have - a few months ago I made a personal site to keep myself out of most of the rest of the fandom, and so far that's worked out well, and my frustrations are (slowly) beginning to fade out. And once the show's back, that'll help out a ton more. The summer's always the harder hiatus, for me at least.

Thank you! I'm excited for Stick of Truth, all right, especially with how fun Tower Defense was. I just hope it has good singleplayer, as the previous games are far, far more fun when you can play with a few friends rather than by yourself. (I'd recommend Tower Defense over Tenorman's Revenge personally.)
