Episode 209: Ask Fansplaining Anything: Part 17

In the newest (17th!) installment of the “Ask Fansplaining Anything” series, Flourish and Elizabeth read a mix of responses to recent episodes and fresh queries. Topics discussed include communal versus solitary fandom, how the “BNF” role shifts when global fandoms rely on fan translations, asexuality and aromanticism in fic, their (EXTREMELY MIXED) experiences running surveys, and, importantly, AMC’s Interview with the Vampire.

Yup.

Dear nonny,

a BIG NAME FAN,

People who have been around for quite some time and therefore have a huge following and are sort of famous in the fandom.

In the GoT/ASOIAF fandom they behave like tenured and established professors of the ASOIAF university - with a self-confidence that comes close to hero worship and so smug about their theories (Stannis retakes Winterfell, Jon and Dany and Tyrion as heads of the dragon and world saviours, you name it...) that they probably would tell off GRRM himself if he contradicts them...

They ignore everything that challenges their view on ASOIAF and as always Jonsa theories and theories by Jonsas are the worst (tm) and they would declare them a heresy if they could.

Sry, not sry for the generalisation... I 'm sure they are not all like that.
