SET FIRE TO THE FANDOM. SET FIRE TO IT NOW.

Hollywood Reporter says that the inevitable Sandman TV show is going to be written by Eric Kripke of Supernatural.

I swear to God, I read this on Twitter in class and I actually did vomit in my mouth a little. Iced mocha latte, not so good on the second time, but not as vile as some other things it could have been.

I am this close to starting a protest website. I don't live in a universe where Death and Delirium of the Endless get written by this guy. I don't want to share a fandom with Supernatural. In fact, my life exists avoiding Supernatural. Ugh ugh ugh.

I don't think I've been so upset about a fandom thing since the 'Golden Compass' movie.

Oh, man, I...have really mixed feelings about this, because I want there to be an adaptation, and he's actually good at family dysfunction. But I feel like the female characters would not be well-served and really, without the female characters, what you have is a lot of emo manpain.

I was JUST going to leave a comment whining about how horribly Kripke would treat Desire, ugh. The thought horrifies me beyond belief.

I admit, I was mostly thinking of Lyta Hall (and while not strictly a female character, Desire) being messed up, but oh god, THESSALY. That's just not going to go well. *facepalm*

I'm with you. A world of DO NOT WANT EVER.

I don't think of myself as a person who regularly throws fandom tantrums. At least not anymore.

THE ANGRY ANGRY FEELINGS I HAVE ARE SO ANGRY.

I'm in CAPSLOCK HARRY FROM ORDER OF THE PHOENIX mode.

Though I have to love the more humorous reaction of [livejournal.com profile] kattaj who said: "It would be like casting Kylie Minogue as the Queen of the Night."

*tries for comfort* Err, so far every attempt to film Sandman didn't work out in the planning stages already?

Ugh, but this TV show has been painfully inching it's way towards legitimacy for the past couple of years. I know because I sometimes hear things.
