Road Rovers fanfiction.

I don't know what a Road Rover is but... man, now I definitely do not want to know.

And... like... I have been to fan events, definitely, and I have been involved in hardcore fan conventions and... I gotta say, nothing sickened me more than the hook-ups and the drama that ensued from the hook-ups and all the webs of melodramatic nerd hossshit and how utterly important everyone thought it was.

A long time ago, I coined the word "tubfuck*ng" to deride it on a fan site and, God help me, they turned it around into a positive term.

I lost a lot of faith in humanity that day.

Road Rovers is a mid-90s cartoon about superheroes who were anthropomorphic dogs.

And, uh.. I dunno, I don't see why people getting it on at conventions is inherently worthy of derision. Relationship drama is a consequence of relationships and the people involved always think it's important, especially when they're relationships between people who have difficulty extending their social activities outside the circle where the relationship is developing. I mean, basically you made up a word specifically to make fun of what happens when socially inept people try to have sexual relationships with other socially inept people. I don't really think that's Awesome and I'm not surprised the people you were making fun of refused to embrace it wholeheartedly and unironically as you intended it.

Because generally and in nearly every single case I ever saw, one of the people involved was either being predatory or completely out of touch with reality about the situation? Not to mention that in the situations I was talking about, it got to the point where the thing that the people were into became entirely ancillary to the meat market for the socially inept that it had become.

Look, it is one thing is a romantic attachment develops organically through that kind of thing, that is fine... mazeltov, common interests, enjoy.

But people going to things like that trolling and I just wanna skinnydip in lysol to get the feeling off, especially when you talk to them and they barely know what the thing they were actually attending was about and had lost interest long ago in the actual... you know... conventions.

I'm just saying, I'm all for destiny and I understand desperation.

But calculation and delusion seemed to be the order of the day and much less time was spent... appreciating the thing they were claiming to be fans of and... a lot more time was spent trying to find an unused bathroom to fuck in because everyone was splitting hotel rooms three or four ways.

I dunno, maybe I had some bad experiences with some particular messed-up people but... shit.

At least people who go to singles bars are honest about what they're up to.

I think Moby said it best.
