ROFL. Sorry, I just posted my rant about Sentinel fandom in answer to johnnypenn :)
Back on the entitlement issue, I recently read a post from someone in one of my fandoms who said something to the effect of "I want this and this to happen. I want these two characters to do this and I wanted the fic dedicated to me because I'm special. Squee!" Now granted, I'm paraphrasing, but that was precisely what the poster was saying. She even complained she had nothing to read. And honestly, I think she did "Squee!" in the post.
*rolls eyes* That's what the xmas-stuffers or request lists or charity lists are for - to request something you want but don't want to write yourself. My response to that type of post would be, "You have a keyboard, yes? You have the idea, yes? Try writing it out yourself. You'd probably be shocked at what you can accomplish."
