Some say it all started with a not-so-innocent entry on Mooncalf's
blog.
But really, it started long before that. For years now, people who
write fanfic have been
taking themselves far too seriously, when there's no need. There needed
to be a webring for silly
fanfic, for fanfic writers who knew how to laugh at themselves
and the characters they loved.
That's what soulpuppetry is all about.
That, and the concept of sticking your hand up a character's ass
and playing him like a handpuppet, to create fanfic.
How do you know if you're right for soulpuppetry?
Simple.
Go
here, and read this.
If you found that funny, well, then you might be soulpuppetry material.
If you snorted a cola product out of your nose while reading that,
and you're willing to admit that in public,
you're definitely soulpuppetry material.
But if there was anything about that that you didn't think was funny,
you might want to think twice about joining the ring.
If you are disturbed by the use of foul language, think twice.
If you are disturbed by the homoerotic subtexts, think twice.
If you're disturbed by the fact that I can use the term 'homoerotic
subtexts' without blinking,
definitely think twice.
If you're disturbed because of my cavalier treatment of characters
that you love,
you don't want to join this ring.
And if you're disturbed by the fact that I am being disrespectful towards
soulbonds
(which you have several of),
you really don't want to join this ring.
