Once upon a time, there were two fandoms. One is actively continuing, the other went off the air about two years ago. In both fandoms, the boy and girl had known each other for a very, very long time. In one fandom, it was eight thousand years give or take a millennium or two. In the other, only two decades, give or take 5 years.
Two writers control(led) these different fandoms. But in both, the boy and girl break up.
One writer says to his audience, “I don’t have to show you the boy and girl getting back together because you already know that 30+ years from now, they have a child together. Closure? You don’t need no stinkin’ closure!” Sadly, I wish I was paraphrasing, but I’m not.
The other writer tells his audience in an LJ post, “My strip is a love story. I know it and you know it. Trust me.” Yes I am paraphrasing. Actual post is here. (Paraphrasing, but not wrong.)
Guess which fandom I feel best about at this moment. 🙂
