Sanity? In Fandom?

Yes, it does exist.

If anyone wants some actual sanity in Who fandom, here it is:

I don't necessarily agree with all of it (I do think that the Doctor is more than a little too arrogant for his own good, for instance), but it's so nice in a sea of hostility, complete blindness to what's actually on screen, ship-wars transformed into character hate, half-wild and ridiculous accusations, and more hositility.

And because another entry from me would probably make people's friends' lists spasm and throw rotten tomatoes and sonic screwdrivers at me:

What American accent do you have? Your Result: Boston   You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don't. Of course, that doesn't mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine.

What American accent do you have? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

Yup. :D

.....And I do not have an accent, dammit! Well, except for things where you have a "t" between two vowels (such as "Latin" or "Stoughton"), which is where I basically break up the syllables and don't pronounce the "t". But that's it!

You don't have an accent, no. I didn't notice one, anyway.

I now take your word over that of the quiz. :D

When I hear your voice in my head, you sound like Natasha from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons.

Slavic accent on Women == British accent on Men???

LOL! That works.

Though I have absolutely no Russian accent. I have an American accent in Russian, actually, which is rather sad. @_@

Thanks for the link, that post pretty much sums up what I've been feeling lately. <3

I saw it and I just had to pimp it.

Fandom can be completely batshit crazy sometimes. @_@
