There are also people who are EXCITED for The New World
I'm not one of them and I suspect bits of the fandom will flake off rather than there being a huge split, there'll be smaller fandom offshoots while the largest portion will continue as it is, ignoring CoE for the most part, or writing fix-its while paying no attention to The New World (unless they choose to somehow fix that too.) Many of us are rather set in our ways and very good at ignoring what we don't like. People predicted that CoE would destroy the fandom but it didn't, we pulled closer together and the amount of fic following CoE was astounding. There was quite a lot that that was CoE compliant, but even more that were fix-its of one sort or another, or just ignored CoE altogether. So I'm hopeful. I won't bother to read anything set in the New World unless someone re-writes the series with Ianto! There's more than enough for me to read as it is and since I'm not a Gwen fan, it's not worth my time.
thebuttonontop is possibly going to try drawing Nosy - I am squeeing with excitement!
