Are you freaking kidding me?

I've been MIA from pretty much all fandoms for about 9 months due to the addition of a love life. That love life went up in flames a month ago and so i returned to my beloved fanfiction world only to find that its gone to crap in the meantime.
What the ever-loving hell happened?
I wanted to catch upon Sherlock memes only to discover that the entire fandom seems to have fallen under the bridge. Apparently only trolls need apply. JohnLock has become some sort of psycho cult that  targets everyone who has a different opinion and tries to drown them in a miasma of offensive posturing about how progressive their views are and how homophobic anyone who disagrees is.
It's reached epic proportions when they are calling it heterocentricity and demanding that the show concede to their demands like sexuality terrorists hellbent on altering the world to their viewpoint.
FYI guys that turned out so well for Hitler.
Flicking through various sites I've never seen such hatred for one sexual preference, anyone who is heterosexual and continues to be the gender they were born to be is now called a cis or cishet and, if not overtly ridiculed, is now treated as a second hand citizen. Its a complete about turn from the seventies when homosexuals were demonized. Now if you are heterosexual you are in the minority and seemingly just as maligned as those who stood up for 'equal' rights in terms of your sexuality.
Hetero is used as a derogatory term and anyone who has an opinion against the norm is automatically "homophobic."
So well done all those altgender Nazi's who've managed to circumvent the equalizing of sexual preferences and made it into a pissing contest to see who can be the biggest bitch.
I'm not a CIS. I'm a human being, Who I love is none of your business, I'm not automatically more 'progressive' because I like girls, nor am I homophobic because I prefer boys.
I don't care if you're trans, bi, pan, pseudo, asexual, genderqueer, whatever if you have respect then power to you. I don't care. But when you try to alter my sexual orientation because I'm not of the same mindset you are, then you are just as bad as homophobics, without ignorance as a excuse.
I think I'll find a more accepting, mature and unbiased fandom.

Fic recs

Hey all, It has been a  while since I have been on LJ to post, mainly because i've been lost in teh world of Pintrest and Ao3. But I'm back with several fic recommendations.

First up I've been immersed in the Sherlock fandom recently, especially Sherlolly- Sherlock/ Molly Hooper because they are just so damned cute. I'm not a Johnlock fan and I think the shipping war between the two is ridiculous.
There are some amazing stories and so here are a few:

The Full House by Emcee Frodis
In this one Molly helps Sherlock fake his death and then he stays with her whilst trying to bring down Moriarty's network. Very brilliantly written, excellent characterisations. Although Chapter 31 made me tear up. Well worth it.

Sustain or Concerto for the Famished in D minor by MaybeAmanda
Molly decides that she wants a baby and Sherlock, eager not to lose his pathologist, offers to help. Not Romantic to start with but heads that way. Not very Bamf Molly but damn it gets your heart strings. Slow road to love and Sherlock with the baby is Ovaries!exploding.

The Pirate and the Doctor by Petra Todd
I must have read the fic about ten times already. Basically Sherlock is a pirate set back in Victorian times. Molly is an assistant to her father the pathologist, only doing all of the work.  Sherlock kidnaps her in order for her to do some work for him and suddenly they are on the run from the East India Trading company. It's fantastic and detailed and I can;t express how much I love it.

Finally a shout out to my little brother (Havok) who has written a fic called John Grey which is a non-ship Harry Potter story. He hasn't posted it anywhere because he is somewhat shy but OH. GOOD. LORD. It's long, its well written, it turns the world on its head and the characters are just excellent.
Starting from book one, what happened if the Dursleys were just that little bit meaner, what happened if Harry Potter had an 'accident' before being allowed to Hogwarts. What if he became someone quite different?
If anyone wants to read this frankly amazing story, please email me and I'll send you the attachment because it is seriously long but oh so worth it. Havok really has made it his own and I am so proud of my little brother.
