Hey anon….

My dude, this is not the way to ask someone a question and get a civil response.

But, because I’m feeling charitable, I’ll give you a civil answer. 

No. 

Fandom doesn’t work that way, because anyone can start up a blog and start writing, and hell with the death of the author, not even the author can tell someone to stop writing what they want about a book or a show or a movie or whatever. 

But even if you believed in that idea (like a certain Youtuber I won’t give the satisfaction of namedropping), I don’t think I qualify. I’m not Elio or Linda, who have a direct line to the man himself and co-write books. I don’t write for any major outlets anymore, and even when I did it was never a regular gig. I don’t have a regular podcast anymore, and even when I did it was one of the smallest ones out there. 

I’m just a guy with a blog who writes essays, no different from anyone else out here. I don’t make decisions on who’s in and who’s out, no one does, because fandom doesn’t work that way.
