Yeah, $$$-related fannish activism is rare that I've seen, and how can you prove there was follow-through anyway?
Odd, I think fandom actually got me involved in a pro-LGBT community. Fandom totally got me thinking about all sorts of srs bsns issues about gender and sexuality and cultural appropriation. Where would my opinions be without it?! Which sounds like it should be a sad question, but it isn't really?!
I rarely get attracted to writing fic for a canon that I think is good per se. Like, it leaves no holes for me to play in. lol and I know what you mean about porn. If ever I skim through past NC17s that I've written, I'm always a little bit D: even if I didn't feel as such during the time of writing. Like sometimes I wish I had left Character Motivation at an R-rating, I just went with the NC17 because it started on the Porn Battle.
lol ya, the irritation at source material. Just like the irritation at the Merlin show! I can't get myself worked up about how terrible the show is because I'm usually on lulz mode on the watching of it.
Or is that separation necessary to feel like you can write fanfic? Not necessary! 'Cos if it is a thing that isn't alien to you, maybe you can talk about it better? Well, maybe not, but maybe it inspires you to tell the story more, or something.
