Perhaps I've just been disillusioned by recent events on the lyst, but Neil-- *how* does fandom in and of itself strip reality down to its bare essentials and ask fundamental questions?
Cock-up on my part. I actually meant fan*fic*. I got confused between the creative output and its source. Fanfic compares quite well to punk lyrics - the naivety and/or simplicity (as you prefer) of the texts is not necessarily echoed in the writers. And not all of the texts are either naive or simple.
While the show, as I said, frequently seems to me to be more clever than its surface would suggest, membership in B7 fandom in and of itself in no wise strikes me
as
a radical act.
I won't even try to argue with that:)
