I'm no fan of Lana but every Lexana fan I've encountered online has been completely lovely

And y'know maybe Lexana fans should have been more aggressive for our ship, like the Clana, Clois, and Chlark fans. Swarming K-site, and Steven DeKnight's blog is something that was avoided, and most of us shippers were staying in our Lexana havens, and leaving the show to write whatever story they want. But then that led to us being treated as nonexistent by the writers and the CW. Seems that jumping up and down in a tantrum does lead to positive ship results after all.
