@cesperanza, additional thoughts?
LOL. Okay, give me a minute, I'll work up nine circles of fannish hell for ya. :D
Outside of hell--mundanes, circling and circling!
Inscribed on the gate: “This work could have adult content. If you continue, you have agreed that you are willing to see such content.”
1 - Limbo – happy monofans who are still in ST: TOS or Starsky and Hutch (we salute you!)
2 – Lust – In a fandom where everyone’s lusting after the wrong blorbo or pairing omg
3 – Gluttony - lying awake reading fanfiction at 5 am I am so going to regret this.
4 – Greed: Hoarders and Squanderers: “When are you going to finish this WIP!” “Where’s the sequel! Write faster!” Also: people who are writing chapter 230/400, people with 1000 open tabs
5 – Anger: Shitposters, failfandomanon, don’t read the comments!
6 – Heresy: “Avengers: Age of Ultron was my favorite,” “I prefer Zachary Quinto’s Spock,” “Bring back Jar Jar”
7 – Violence against self, others, God, etc.: Giving explicit fanworks to actors, selling fanfiction on Amazon, doxxing, etc.
8 – Fraud – Sockpuppets, bots, the lurkers do not support you in email!!
9 - Betrayers (George Lucas, JJ Abrams, Joss Whedon, etc.) Also: “You have already left kudos here :)
