I don't think TPTB should make a statement, I don't think they owe any particular group an explanation or a projection of where their characters are going.
Yeah, and I honestly think they'll never do it. I suppose I just have this little dream that this could be settled once and for all - which wouldn't mean anyone would have to stop shipping their favourite ship (which I've seen some people say - which I don't get because, essentially, nothing would change), but it might just halt some future pain. But, then again, who's to say that having hope isn't part of the fun of enjoying the show. I don't know...
It doesn't and shouldn't matter if TPTB agree, disagree or are horrified by fandom because basically they aren't in fandom.
Yeah. Exactly. It's why I honestly feel that it's just not a major thing for them. Even with the recent twitter mess, they are hopefully just getting on with their jobs and thinking about the next story (and maybe checking over the script for actual canon slip up..;D)
we're struggling to find rules we can all live with and boundaries are never very clear at times like this,
So much this. It's something that I am fascinated by. It's happened so quickly that it's taken people by surprise. The thing I haven't really worked out about twitter is why famous people feel like they need to have one. I feel like it's some ego thing - which I'm not saying is a problem, healthy egos are good - it's just that I think it creates a power that some famous people haven't worked out how to use yet. Ack - I'm not articulating this very well. I'll wait for someone one to write their thesis on it. ;)
Yes, and so do TPTB,(actors, writers, crew) but it's like communicating in different languages.
That's how I see it too. We can all talk about this thing called "slash", and even though we all know its definition I think our meaning of it differs (or certainly what it means to each of us).
