Fan-girl-ness (or lack there of)

I've just finished reading Tempestuous, by Lesley Livingston (I bought it this morning).It was awesome. I've been waiting ages. Now that I've got it, and have read it, I shall return to obsessing over the next Maximum Ride book (Angel). I read the first 8 pages. May I say that I hate Dylan's guts, and was thrilled to find this. I vote taser.

Anyway. I left a comment (I vote taser). However, it is kind of irritating to have to read all these sappy fan girl comments for Fang all the time. I thought that over, and realized something. Which I will now call the all-encompassing-theory-of-something-or-other.

No book heroine may have a boyfriend without having at least fifty fan girls being all starry eyed over him.

Just an observation. I mean, really people, would you really want to have to deal with someone like Fang? I know I wouldn't. I for one, would go nuts from having to deal with someone like that (as in, supports me sometimes, then mocks me, then ignores me, then mocks me again, then, well I don't know what else) for prolonged periods of time (in fact, one of my friends would love to use that as a form of strange and unusual torture for me-you know, just in case she ever feels the need to lock me in a cell with a fictional character). And don't get me started on Artemis Fowl. I don't think I could deal with a genius who enjoys insulting, not only the person, but their ideas, intelligence, and the ground they walk on. All I can say is, as much as I love reading about characters like that, I could never actually deal with them. I shall remain a fan without becoming a fan girl, thank you very much.

I apologize if I offend legions of fan-girls world wide.

Looking back: A while later: Okay... looking back this seems kinda harsh. Sorry. I was just tired of wading through a bunch of fan-girly comments. All I'm saying is; if you're going to be a fan-girl, please have some sort of rational reason. And no, "He's Cute" (and I'm pretty sure I read this comment somewhere... I kid you not) does not count as rational.
