Ergh. I'm sorry that happened to you.
Yep it was a disaster, but I put major warnings on the story and chanted a few things after that, but of course not before taking down my story for a bit because of all the trolling and harassment and then put it back up again per one my readers who loves the story so in the end it’s all good the trolls are blocked. You put all your heart & soul into your fic and people are jerks just because ugh!!! 😡🙄 why can’t people just click out and move on!!??

I will never understand this. It's free! What kind of person bitches about that? The most I ever do is just back out of a fanfic if I don't like it. No mean comments, no twatting. Just move it on.
This is what I do as well if I don't like a story. I'll never understand why people do that kind of thing either!

Yep exactly or they don't read author's notes that's what happened to me and it's how I got trolled and harassed on my fic.

LOL, I know what you mean about feeling sometimes like other people are watching a whole different show from you :p. And I can also sympathize with liking a pairing that isn't popular, or a character (especially a female character) that isn't popular.
It's so weird how some fandoms can remain active years after the canon ends, and others kinda peter out. Maybe that fandom just needs a new influx of fans discovering the show for the first time. Sometimes that can breathe new life into a fandom, and bring some new perspectives on well-worn storylines and character moments. That's what's happened with the "Criminal Minds" fandom, it's gotten something of a second wind in recent times due to some new and younger fans discovering it via streaming.
I am glad that you're overall happy with how things have played out with Dan/Louise on "The Conners", at least :). Hopefully the show will continue to give you plenty more material to work with involving them as time goes on.
Yeah well SOA is a big and a popular fandom in fanfiction, but sadly only with the most popular couple on the show which was Jax/Tara who I can't stand period and I never shipped them. It'll never be popular with the other couples/pairings unfortunately, only in my dreams which makes so frustrated and sad. The only fans and shippers in the SOA fandom are especially on FFN (where sadly they've taken over that whole category) are the Jax/Tara shippers all of the Gemma/Nero shippers - at least the ones that even wrote for them at one point are gone off the site and have been for a while. I got into SOA way late so by the time I did and got into fanfiction there all of the fans Gemma/Nero were gone and haven't been back at all that I've noticed, so it just sucks for me really.
Yes Dan & Louise I love what's been happening with them so far and can't wait to see what else is gonna happen later - at least that's something positive for one of my couples and the fact that they got married as well is another positive for me.

That makes total sense, yeah. I've been there, too - there's some writers that I think have a better handle on certain characters/pairings than others. Or I guess, as you put it, it's more that their take on the characters matches more closely with mine.
I'm sorry that you don't have much in the way of other shippers to squee and talk about the pairing with :(. It's tough. Especially given your comments about how they were treated in canon - it'd be nice to vent about whatever issues you have with what canon did to them with somebody else.
Ha, yeah, there's definitely some fandoms where you know, or at least, are confident enough, that you can feel a little safer about how they'll handle certain pairings, compared to others :p. I see some people in some fandoms ranting and angry because the canon screwed over their favorite pairing, and I look at the history of the creators and the way they write stories or the type of canon it is and its like, what exactly did you expect would happen?
But yes, sometimes some creators and writers can blindside fans, too. Anything to get the ratings and the drama and have people talking.
I'm not saying I'm not appreciative of them writing for Gemma/Nero in general, but the way they wrote some of things that Gemma and Nero did or their reactions weren't how I saw them at all in other words looked out the box with Gemma and her personality so it's hard for me when I read their stories to think they even watched the same show I did and the especially when the fandom writes (and still does) Gemma so mean, coldhearted, angry and all that, but to me that part of her was just a defense mechanism all the way and that's it because when she was with Nero she was a different person, it wasn't a big change, but it was there and I saw it instantly.
I do have some people I can talk with Gemma/Nero about, but not much because well it seems like everything that I wanted to say has been said and the fact that SOA has been over for years now doesn't help and the fact that the fandom hates on Gemma so much too that's another reason why Gemma/Nero aren't a popular couple sadly, but even Nero isn't popular either and I'll understand that because Nero was a great character and man in general.
As for the writers I sometimes hate what they do to my couples/pairings for sure. I love that Gemma/Nero was made canon, but really that was the only thing that was done right to me the rest of it and their scenes they weren't given a chance - Now I'm not saying I didn't enjoy their scenes it's just a lot of them were too short or I didn't like the way TPTB wrote their scenes they were either tacky/uncomfortable or just I didn't like them in general.
So far with Dan & Louise I love how the writers have written them as a couple and the only thing wrong there is the fact that their scenes can definitely be expanded more for sure. I love(d) how they got together and the slow burn of their relationship it was perfect and their wedding and everything, but yeah there's still room for more so to speak so because I love them I'm gonna eventually write for them and I hope I'll be able to do them justice when I do start to write for me (not a one shot, but a multi chaptered story).

Yeah, I know the feeling about liking rare pairs. Not only is it hard to get attention on the fics you write for them, but sometimes you're the ONLY person writing for them, and after a while you want to read something for that pairing that isn't your own work, you know :p? But yes, when you do get readers for a rare pair, it's a great thing, 'cause they're like, "YES! Finally, something for this pairing!" :D.
Wow. I admire your efforts with that long fic. I tend to write one-shots - even the couple multi-chapter fics I do have out there are collections of one-shots. So that does help make it a little easier for me to juggle multiple fandoms as a result, I think :p. Anyone who can juggle long fic ideas for multiple fandoms, kudos to you, that would not be an easy feat.
I also get the whole thing of not wanting a story you've been writing to end, either. There's a lot of memories and special moments connected to it, the excitement of seeing people still invested in it, the fun that comes with writing the story in and of itself... I've heard some long fic writers talk about feeling a bit of sadness when a fic they wrote finally comes to an end - all that time and effort involved, and now you're like, "...now what?" I'm glad you are having so much fun with that fic, and I hope that enjoyment continues for however long you keep working on it :).
Yep so true on everything you've said. Yes I definitely know the feeling of wanting to read new stories that aren't mine and I was just saying to one of my readers that I hate that my stories isn't the one that I want to read you know all the time and I wish it wasn't mine if you know what I mean. I love the story don't get me wrong, but for Gemma/Nero especially on FFN there's only one shots there mine was the first multi chaptered story for them ever which is so sad and they were basically neglected and ignored in canon and in fanfiction world it's the same thing which is again so sad and angry for me because I love so much as a couple I don't think they should have been treated like that in canon nor in the fanfiction world. I've never been really into the popular pairings/couples either so that.
I keep on writing for them because I want to keep them alive because if I don't no one else will I'm sure of it and it doesn't help the people who wrote one shots for Gemma/Nero are gone on FFN too. There are two multi chaptered of them on A03, but I don't like how the author (or writer) wrote them, to me it didn't seem like Gemma/Nero in terms of the way I saw them as a couple and as characters - somethings do seem like them and some don't if that makes sense that's the other main reason why I started my own story on them in the first place and of course the other one is because there isn't much on them at all. It's sad, frustrating and angry and of course the SOA fandom as a whole they there's barely any shippers of them in general either, it's all just...unfair.
As for Dan & Louise they are the same as Gemma/Nero as well - one shots and that's it so I really hope I can eventually show them some love too. I wrote one drabble at least it's something for now on them until I can get to a place where I can really focus on my idea for them which I think is a great one and one I've had in my mind for a while now. For them it makes me sad they don't get more love in the fanfiction world, but at least they got a better chance in canon than poor Gemma/Nero in the end.

Meanwhile, Louise's furniture from her condo had been moved to Dan Conners' front porch, so now where is it? Dan burned the Dan & Roseanne bedroom furniture so has he been sleeping on the floor of the master bedroom? Did he move Louise's bedroom set into the house and then dispose of it before he bought the waterbed?
Hmm good questions hopefully we'll find all this out soon once Louise is back again from her tour.. or back in general.

Looking at my profiles on FF.net and AO3, I've written something for seven fandoms now :p. Some of them very small (to where they're either dead or barely exist), some very big and active. Like you said, though, that variety is a good thing in terms of engagement. And on the flip side, the smaller fandoms can be good for the times when you just want to escape the fandom craziness and drama and hang out somewhere a little quieter.
I just said the very same thing myself recently in a conversation elsewhere :p. So true. And if I get stuck on a story for one fandom, there's another one waiting for me to spend some time in while I work through whatever roadblocks I've got in the other. I like that there's no shortage of characters and pairings for me to write about and explore.
My fandoms(at least the ones that are my main focused) one is smaller at least in terms of the pairing and the other is I'd say bigger, but the pairing is also pretty small in terms of stories. I mostly write for rare pairs which is very frustrating, but at the same time there's so many possibilities to write about, but the lack of comments isn't a great thing, but again it's nice to have some faithful readers/commenters.
Yeah exactly my point. I have one story that I'm working on mainly for my couple Gemma/Nero, but then I have two others for them that I've started, although the one I haven't really done much with, but the other that's started that one is going a bit better in terms of plot and writing of it. My on going story for them is very long now it's been going on since 2019 and is now 22 chapters, still working on 23 and I still have more ideas it's like every time I think I'm done with ideas for it more come to mind, but I don't care because to be honest I kind of don't want the story to end either because I love it so much and I'm so proud of it because I've never written a multi chaptered story like this before where there's more than 10 chapters nor this long in terms of word count.

And last episode, Dan said that since she used up her money on the wedding, he should pay for the bedroom set.
Yes that too!

Heh, yeah, I know how tough it can be, trying to balance ideas for more than one fandom :p. I'm bouncing around and plotting out ideas for a few fandoms as well.
Yep it definitely is because I always have some ideas and then my muse just doesn't want to go there I guess.. for another fandoms, but hey I'd rather have a lot of ideas than none at all I think that's worse for a writer.

I only half watched and missed the new Beverly Rose entirely . So her voice coming out of the bathroom was a shock for me.
So this she should mean that her Dad has made it past the two year mark and can apply for a spousal visa now?
I’m confused though - we are in season 4. What season was she born in again? How old is she really supposed to be?I believe she was born in the season 2 premiere and I think she's supposed to be about 2 or 3 now and yes we are in season 4 now.

I haven't written much for Dan & Louise just yet, but I hope to eventually as I do have an idea for a story I'd to explore for them. I'm really focused so much on Gemma/Nero at this time it's where my muse is and not only that it's also because I'm still trying to finish my multi chaptered story on them I've had going for a while now,

Great idea for a thread!
I have fanfiction I've written and I'm writing at the moment. I have a lot of fandoms I love, but I don't write for all of them, only some, but my main ones right now are Sons Of Anarchy (Gemma/Nero, my one & only OTP) and The Conners (Dan & Louise)

What I recall is her saying pick what you like and then tell the salesperson to go with the opposite.
Ah okay well I was close..at least with the first part of it.

I don’t understand the furniture issue though. Between Dan and Louise, shouldn’t they have two houses’ worth of furniture to pick from? Why are they buying more? And even if you’re not the sentimental type, wouldn’t Louise want to pick out the bedroom set herself, or with Dan? Look at the Conner house, Dan clearly has terrible taste.
If I remember correctly Louise told Dan on the phone to pick what he wanted and they'd figure it out later on as she she couldn't pay for a new bedroom set because she had just paid for the big and fancy wedding she wanted.

John Goodman says gets lost over 200lbs. That's astounding. I'm so glad for him.
Great news! I can't wait to see what's gonna happen with Dan & Louise next (not counting the new bedroom set) which I can't wait to see.

It is pretty funny that all these reasonably attractive men only have eyes for Darlene. But what's even crazier is that they're all ok with everything going on in the Conner house. How many episodes now where they're physically fighting in the living room with company over. I don't get the Dan and Louise relationship at all. Why is Louise so crazy about dan? Why does she want to live in that house at all? I feel like we should have had some kind of explanation for that. Normal people would take one look at the bitching and screaming and fighting and run screaming. It's also extremely unrealistic that Louise is just cool with dan parking her stuff on the porch because his grown kids come before her. The entire Louise character is just there to be supportive and not bat an eye about any of the crap that Dan's loser kids and granddaughter pull. The only thing I remember her saying is that she wants to be with dan because he's a good guy. It's worth all of that for the privilege of being with Dan?
Harris is a nightmare, they should have kicked her ass out a long time ago.
Louise wants to be with Dan because she's wanted to have a relationship with him since high school (they were in the same class together along with Roseanne and Jackie they've all known each other for over 40 years) that's why it's been established since season 1. Louise's character being okay with everything including the kids and all it's just how she is, she's laid back and calm, she's her own person and character. As for why she wants to live there because it's where Dan is she's married to him now and loves him very much.
SpoilerFYI: This storyline with the furniture and everything isn't over it's going to be continuing into the next new episode on the 1st.

I do hope they make the bedroom Louise's though. Complete makeover. And I hope she has better taste than Roseanne's hodgepodge crapola aesthetic.
I definitely agree with you on that. From what I've seen I think Louise has better taste, but we'll have to see what happens.

I could have written this post, except I think sustained goodness stopped even sooner. I think Season 6 was the cut off. Then, the show became just constant misery for eons. Some good episodes mixed in, as you said, but the glory days were done. Season 15 really was a rebound, and I don't think it is a coincidence that the classic characters returning for visits was a big reason for that.
Well actually now that I think about you do have a point about seasons 7 & 8 they were definitely sad and draining and ER definitely lost something there after Mark died.(and Anthony left)
TV FanFiction Thread
in The TV Bazaar: Assorted TV-Adjacent Talk
I did block them, but also deleted my account over at A03 too and of the comments got deleted too, but that's not where it all started though it started on FFN and moved to all three which again I blocked them on wattpad too, come to find out I wasn't the only one this person trolled and harassed there's others see they ship the way more popular couple on SOA so that's how this all started in first place and it was my mistake messaging them back trying to defend my story and why I wrote what I did. On wattpad though the person deleted their account (apparently) after trolling and harassing me there for a while it seemed to me the only reason they ever even there was trolled and harass me about my story I mean it's pretty obvious once they deleted their account probably soon after I had blocked them (I found that they left when I looked at my muted accounts and theirs wasn't there anymore) Come to find out I wasn't the only one this person did this too and that makes me feel better that because I realized I wasn't alone in it anymore. I love (d) it over at A03 I admit, but I don't think I'd want to go through all that again with my story and plus you can't block anyone there (at least I don't think, that could have changed now) so I just stay over at FFN and wattpad even though I do love some of the features A03 has especially the chapter summaries option I wish FFN & wattpad had that). This person is an adult I mean seriously how much more childish, petty and immature can you get trolling and harassing someone over a story (and fanfiction one nonetheless which isn't real mind you) give me a break!!! I don't get what I want in a story either a lot of the times, but really?? I don't go and do that to other writers when I don't get what I want so they shouldn't be doing that to me. 🙄 It still hurts, but I'm continuing on with my story and I still love it and I'm gonna finish whenever that is because I have to and I want to so that's my plan.
