Notes: We've never seen this as an
issue here on ASC and were slightly taken aback when we noticed it was an issue
on some other
forums. This little offering got stuck in Mrs. Whoa
Nellie's head and Ms. Whoa Nellie goaded her on with it's funny, post it! For the
mutilation
of Rodgers and Hammerstein that you are about to read, Whoa Nellie sincerely
begs forgiveness.

The
Fanboy And The Shipper
Oh
the fanboy and the shipper should be friends
Oh
the fanboy and the shipper should be friends
One
writer likes to push a pairing
The
other likes to chase a plot
But
that's no reason why they can't be friends
Fanfic
folks should stick together
Fanfic
folks should all be pals
Fanboys
dance with the shippers' pairings
Shippers
dance with the fanboys' plots

Fanboys

I'd
like to say a word for the fanboy
He
came out to post and made a lot of changes
He
came out to post and created a lot of techy advances
And
posted right across our little romances!
The
fanboy is good with constructive criticism
No
matter what the shipper says or thinks
You
seldom see 'im flamin in a shipper war
Unless
somebody else is winning votes.
Oh
the fanboy and the shipper should be friends
Oh
the fanboy and the shipper should be friends
The
shipper has a character emote with ease
The
fanboy creates the weapons and enemies
That's
no reason why they can't be friends
Fanfic
folks should stick together
Fanfic
folks should all be pals
Fanboys
dance with the shippers' pairings
Shippers
dance with the fanboys' plots
I'd
like to say a word for the shippers
The
road they tread is difficult and wistful
They
write fer days on end with nothing but wishing for a muse.
I
sure am feeling sorry for the muse!
The
fanboy should be sociable with the shipper
If
they post an' asks fer feedback and critique
Don't
treat 'im like a simpleton
Make
them welcome in your forum
But
be sure that you're not expecting any substance or a plot!

Ain't

Break
it up ya fools! Alright, everyone, sing it.
Dum-dah-dee-um-dum-dum

And
with this forum being a website
found
on the net just like all the others
The
fanboy, the shipper, and the lurker
Must
all behave theirselves and act like brothers
I'll
teach you all a little sayin'
And
learn the words by heart the way you should
I
don't say my fanfic is better than anybody else's
But
I'll be danged if it ain't just as good!
