Anti-Spemma [Spinner Mason & Emma Nelson] (original) (raw)
'Sup, Spemma haters? You probably know me as DJO4ever from tv.com, which has totally gone downhill since you guys left by the way. Anyways, I can think of no better place to post this rant than here. I didn't even post a review for this movie because I was so enraged. It's not the idea of Spemma that did it; it's how they went about.
I've been writing Spemma for three years; they're one of four plots I have in my current Tobanny fic. I would've been perfectly fine with them. That is, until Holiday Road aired. I was shocked to see that the writer/producer of that episode used an extremely similar scene from one of my fics. It's the same event (barbecue), same location (Emma's yard), set-up for the same UC (Spemma), and the same fallout (Emma yelling at someone in her basement). Emma also ropes Spinner into fixing her bike tire, which is what she wants Kelly to do in HR. I hoped to God that it was just a coincidence. Not so. DTM airs and I see Spemma playing Horse! It's the same couple and the same game in my fic! Spemma playing Horse! Seriously? It's a bunch of bull. Brendon Yorke and Duana Taha are pathetic for doing such a blatant imitation of those two scenes. Duana Taha also wrote a scene where Holly J breaks into school with Declan for a romantic surprise...I wrote that using Tobanny. So basically what they did was ignore a Tobanny package (we basically just asked for some friendship scenes in season 7, when it was mailed) and take what they liked out of the fics that are tied to it. These writers are desperate, DESPERATE, for material.
The same writer wrote Touch of Grey, which was widely hated by the fanbase so maybe they were even more desperate.
Then of course, there's a wedding in DTM. Get this. I wrote a beach wedding, where Sean is marrying Emma to move on from Ellie. Much like Spinner is trying to move on from Jane. The fic has the same location, on the beach. The fic has a Jay pep talk. Then, there's this from my fic: "She walks towards him in a silk, white dress, flower trim on the bodice, sleeveless, perfect." It's the same freakin' dress Emma wears to wed Spin. The only real difference is of course Sean, and Jay being the pastor (great, the guy that gave you gonorrhea is marrying you to his best friend).
WHAT OTHER FANFIC HAS ALL THOSE FREAKIN' THINGS, WRITERS?
I never, never, EVER advocated for Spemma to happen. I never have them get married. In fact, they take about five months to get official in that fic, and the kid Emma's baby-sitting asks if Spemma might get married one day and both panic.
These writers are such hacks. They will steal anything and attempt anything, with little regard to how fans feel. I'm going to put Stefan Brogren in here too. He asked who everybody's fave couples were. Semma and Spane were in the top 3. He asked why Spane was so popular since Jane had cheated on him. So what? The fans didn't make her cheat. Then, a CrAsh fan asked if he saw a CrAsh album FF made for the Exec, and Stefan said he didn't like them. Who cares if you don't? Be diplomatic and say you didn't see it. That's not even the worst part. He launched into how fans of CrAsh and Sellie should move on. He just likes to throw his opinions at people. He came back about a day later and said the CrAsh fans did a good job. Third, somebody tweeted that they were still crying over J.T.'s death. He said "I doubt it". Who says that to a fan's genuine emotion? The fan wasn't attacking the writers or anything. I know a bunch of Jiberty fans jumped on the showrunners so maybe he's still bitter about that. Who knows with him? But hopefully you see what I'm trying to say. He does not care what fans say half the time or he twists it.
They will steal, slap any ship in the face, and disregard fan tweets left and right.
I'm totally not trying to be mean or uppity or bitter, but if you're going to do something drastic, be classy about it, you know? These are genuine emotions, thoughts, and packages coming to them.
I also kind of posted because I really want people to protect their fanfics. They will snoop in there. I know how hard writers work to do them, and to see them thrown up on a screen in a script that probably took less time to compose, breaks my heart. I would not wish what happened to me on anyone. That's the biggest reason I'm posting.
I hope this all makes sense and it's hard to be articulate when you're angry, but I'd rather get it all out. See you guys.
