A Primer for New "House, Md." Fandom Participants
With Special Emphasis on the House/Wilson Fandom
A special note:
I am not exempt from many of the things I talk about here. As a member of the H/W online fandom since summer '06, I've been guilty of everything I mention in this post and in the previous post in some way, and guilty of plenty of things that aren't on these lists. Part of writing a Primer for new fans is being honest about my experiences. I didn't think it was necessary to spell that out, but there you have it! These are reflective of my experiences in fandom. Gathering empirical evidence, I'm making observations. It ain't exactly science, kids.
PART TWO
BASHING OTHER 'SHIPS
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
1. Foreman shall be single forever (unless slashed with Chase). Don't find Foreman attractive. Don't expect to see a whole lot of active 'ships surrounding him, either. You will be questioned about why, and you probably won't have a good enough answer.
2. Wilson can be with other people, as long as they're men-- or female proxies for House. Ever read a happy Wilson/Julie story? Of course not! In House/Wilson fanfic, make sure Wilson is not actually attracted to the women he serially dates and sleeps with in canon. They are flukes; House is his one true love. Even if you don't share that view, be wary of where you express your different opinion on Wilson/Amber or Wilson/Grace. There are other comms made for those sorts of perversions!
3. Cameron is too stupid/immature/slutty/into Chase to be with House. David Shore may have intended that ship once upon a time, but it surely isn't so any longer. Any mention of Cameron/House is just a shoutout; and make sure to comment on how two-dimensional and weak you think Cameron has become over the seasons. A little healthy disrespect for Jennifer Morrison is always a way "in" as well because it makes you sound like you know a lot about screen acting.
4. Cuddy is too sexy not to sleep with House and Wilson at the same time/Cuddy finds the idea of House and Wilson together as hot as the fans do/Cuddy is a slut and not worthy of being an administrator because she wears low-cut blouses--so pairing her with anybody degrades the other character. Basically, Cuddy can't be shipped. Like young girls in medieval times who didn't clothe themselves properly, she deserves to suffer eternal spinsterhood. She is unfit for the fine men of the cast, and we should brand her with a scarlet "A".
