[edit] Kerfluffles
On December 21, 2007, sunshineandrage characterized the Queer as Folk fandom as having crazies, saying:
- Re. the crazies at cons, I was thinking of QAF crazies, because we seem to have a special breed. Sci-fi cons are one thing, I sort of expect them to be a bit crazy. Cuz, you know, it's sci-fi. But our crazies who find out where the actors live and break into studios and things like that, that's not something I want to be a part of. Although those people weren't necessarily at the con, but it seems like the sort of thing they would do.[33]
On December 22, 2007, sunshineandrage said the following regarding the behavior of some Queer as Folk fans:
- You didn't hear about the fans who broke into the studio because I heard about it from a crew member who we befriended while we were stalking watching filming on season 5, and we had to keep most of those detaily things on the down-low because we didn't want our informants to get in trouble. I was very paranoid about losing our source, so I don't think I wrote much about it on lj at the time. But yeah, some fans broke into one of the studios. I don't think there were any cast members there at the time, though. [34]
