Notes to Fandom(s)

[misscam]

Dear CSI fandom,

Gofia? GOFIA? GOFIA? For my sanity, I implore you - think about what you name your 'ship. Grillows? Gofia? Hillbillies? What's next, Gnick? Brick? GrGr?

Incidentally, (some) Grillows shippers, Lindsey is not Grissom's child. Despite perhaps certain trick plots designed to make you think so, CSI is not a soap. Lindsey will not turn out to be Grissom's after years of mistaken paternity and thus be the catalyst for Grissom and Catherine to have hot, kinky sex under his desk. Fanfic it till death if you want, but don't try to preach it as Canon when there isn't even the vaguest hint of it.

(Translations for the sane: Gofia=Grissom/Sofia, Grillows=Grissom/Catherine Willows, Hillbillies=Cath/Nick, Gnick=Greg/Nick, Brick=Brass/Nick, GrGr=Grissom/Greg.)

Incidentally, I'm now seeing other fandoms. I'm sorry. You just don't have a sonic screwdriver.

****

Dear Doctor Who fandom,

try not to wank, okay? You're very shiny and new and I want us to continue this glorious honeymoon of ours just a little bit longer. I'll wear lace and bat my eyelashes at you, I promise.

****

Dear HP fandom,

*boggle*

How's that 'less insanity' diet going for you, really?

****

Dear LotR fandom,

I could take a trip in the TARDIS a hundred years forward in time and you'd still probably be writing Legolas romances and argue about whether or not Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan were forced into the closet by a world-wide conspiracy of slash haters while the gang of Canon purists and Canon orgies battle it out with insults and assurance in own superiority.

Ah, such fond times.

...

I think we need theraphy.

Meanwhile, check out the pictures of the storm currently hitting Norway.

Ouch.

Pride and Prejudice is released in the US as longer version

*blinkblink*

My favorite CSI portmanteau remains "Snickers." Because that's exactly what it makes me do, and I *wrote* Nick/Sara.

I am thisclose to sticking my fingers in my ears and singing "La la la, DW fandom, I don't heeeeeaar you."

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I write Catherine/Warrick now and then and I still grit my teeth at 'Yo!Bling'. I've even mocked pairing names in fanfic. It's just... So much potential for point&mock.

Aaaw. Come on, it's nothing to HP or LotR. It just needs to wank a little now and then to feel like a real fandom. I'll just be here in my corner, writing fanfic and rolling my eyes.

[nymeria.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with the DW fandom at the moment? *needing a bit of a break from her own WANKY AS HELL fandom and was pondering Doctor Who, wut*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Slight wank over "Nine 4EVA!" versus "Ten will be good! We loves Ten already!" (and with quite a few on the fence).

I've seen far worse. Nothing like... FMA, is it? At least judging by f_w reports.

[me2you.livejournal.com]

*cracks up* I so wanna be a Brick shipper.

Also? "Gnick" is possibly my new favourite "word". Say it with me now...

Gnick.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That would be quite the pairing. The mind boggles.

In Norwegian, "Gnikk" means "scrub", basically. Which is why "Gnick" amuses me.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

I don't think that I would manage to sit through another eight minutes of the abomination that was the most recent screen version of Pride and Prejudice. But maybe I'm just ridiculously attached to a certain Mr Firth. :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You still didn't give me that scating review you promised of it.

Mmmmm. Firth!Darcy.

[briasoleil.livejournal.com]

I really don't get why people need to name their ships. Doesn't using name x/name y thing make it simpler, easier to follow and that much less ridiculous?

I've never really had the inclination to read Pride and Prejudice, nor have I wanted to see any of the films. I know, I know. Blasphemy.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes. *shakes ehad at you* Unbeliever.

But then it wouldn't be unique and creative. Or something.

[chunkylimes.livejournal.com]

There should definitely be a comm just for the LotR Purists and Fangirls to mud-sling at each other. With popcorn.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That would be a smashing hit, surely. Just would have to remember to dress in clothes that could take some mud. There would be sure to be some wild tossing around.

[melliemel411.livejournal.com]

Gofia? Good God, just shoot me.

I ship Grissom/Sara but I rarely refer to it as Geeklove.Online I'll say GSR, simply because I'm too lazy to type it out most of the time lol.

But 'Gofia', WTF is that?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I just use GSR myself. Am lazy.

What you get when you snuggle two names together in the evening and they both walk up with a terrible hangover in the morning.

[velocityofsound.livejournal.com]

What, Grork was no good?





I think I am kidding. I'm starting to lose track. I hope Sofia/Nick ends up as Sick. (I like the pairing in an odd way, but the nickname amuses me.)

Also, Brass/Nick exists? It's not that gross, but that's a new one for me.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

If Sofia gets him to loose the mustache, I'm all for it.

Supposedly it does, yes. *shrugs* I've stopped being surprised at who CSI shippers will pair up together. But the names they come up with still do it soemtimes, as you can see.

[elvea-aure.livejournal.com]

Yes! Let's all get worked up over a movie with Keira fucking Knightley starring in it while Colin Firth is painfully absent!

Bleh.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Coooooooolin!

Hmm Fandoms can be scary

[shandydann]

Although that storm looks a bit like the one that hit Scotland last friday.

I'm not sure that the sugary sweet ending needs to be added. But then I was upset with the film script anyway.

Re: Hmm Fandoms can be scary

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Might be a part of the same stormfront, I suppose.

No good, huh?

[mademoisellenon.livejournal.com]

You're wearing lace and batting lashes?

...

The Doctor shall be very happy, indeed.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I said I would, not that I was. Jumping the gun as usual, Frenchie.

[erhothwen.livejournal.com]

Pride and Prejudice is released in the US as longer version

Meh. Meh I say. *will probably get slaughtered by legions of Jane Austen fans at some point in her life*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are some on my flist who'd volunteer.

[cantralian.livejournal.com]

Ouch! That is one hell of a storm. *sends warm Brissie sunshine your way*

And yes please, Doctor Who fandom - no makey with the wank. For me it is all shiny and new, and seems almost genteel. Let's please keep it that way.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yep. We haven't had one of those in years. Nasty. One guy got killed, even.

At least no wank for a while, yes. I don't wanna be a bitter fandom veteran already. Let's all hold hands and write Doctor/Rose smutmasterpieces, with Jack dropping in for close-ups now and then.

[hadria.livejournal.com]

HAAHHAAHHAHAHA. I see you've met Gofia. I saw it in some talkCSI thread a while ago. There seems to be three fucking annoying people who ship it only because they loathe Sara. They also refer to it as the new GSR, which is even fucking funnier because it's such attention-whoring.

Snickers is actually pretty cute sounding. And I'm partial to Geeklove too. But Sandle, Grillows, and even YoBling - have got to go.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

So I'm not the only one to lurk at TalkCSI in horrid fascination? Good to know.

Yes. There's certain Tazzer, who has written the most ridiculous fanfics I've ever read in terms of Sara character fuck-up. The concept of how you feel about a character is not how the other characters feel about her/him has clearly failed to impress itself on her. But hey, it keeps me amused, in a horrid fascinated sort of way.

Snickers always makes me wonder if there'll be chocolate in the fic and I'm almost always disappointed. False advertising, I say.

[scarlettgirl.livejournal.com]

There was wank?

::lifts up head and sniffs::

Damn, and I missed it! DW fandom is a shiny bright thing, with more than its fair share of fanbrats to be sure, but them seem harmless enough. I just picture lots of glitter pens and "i"'s dotted with hearts and wonder how they could possibly work up a good enough head of steam to wank.

(::cough:: not that I'm at *all* interested in the HP fandom ::cough:: but the link led to non-entry. What was the fuss?)

[b2wm.livejournal.com]

Harmony* shippers. Enough said. *Shudders*

(*Not all Harry/Hermione shippers are batshit insane, but most of the ones that refer to it as Harmony are.)

[saxihighlandck.livejournal.com]

Hillbillies... Gnick... Brick... Snickers.. Yo!Bling... Gofia... Sandle... GrGr... It's all crazy... What's next... Wick? Wreg? Widle?... Nissom.. I can keep it up.. I am amused!

*blinks at storm* whoa..

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Nissom sounds like a car.

Oy way, shipping fandom.

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

That's one badass looking storm. *hides from all the wank*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It was. Extreme storm and all. The Atlantic has been moody this year.

[adoraheatherly.livejournal.com]

Dear LotR Fandom,

A 2,000 word fic should not be comprised of one single run-on sentence. Oh,and please quit stripping away the dignity of my beloved Elves by giving them ridiculous nicknames.

Love, Adora

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*signs*

Also, stop giving Elrond more kids. He could have his own stocked high school as it is.

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

Dear Eru, the LOTR fandom desperately needs theraphy. I wish we could come up with something like this on behalf of Tolkien.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hehehe. That one is a hoot, yes.

[evilstorm.livejournal.com]

*quite often wants to put a foot in the LOTR fandom's arse*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Need to borrow hard boots?

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

Incidentally, (some) Grillows shippers, Lindsey is not Grissom's child.
Ugh, thank YOU. I ship C/G (and i refuse to call them Grillows because it's completely idiotic!) and even I think that would be weird.

Hee. Brick! Gnick! Grgr!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's not so much weird as completely out of the left-left-left field, giving everyone who tries to see it whiplash as it zooms past.

WTF, people. WTF.

I find GrGr kinda cute, I must admit. I envision a kitten mascot, grr'ing softly.

[cadiliniel.livejournal.com]

Gofia is wrong whatever its name. Bleuch.

LotR - unfortunately full of fangirls. As in the stupid kind, not my kind *g*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh. Fangirls are more tolerable when they're of your kind, huh?

Gofia sounds like a new clown act, really. Red nose and made-up face and all.

[nirix5.livejournal.com]

Fandom: whatever, seriously. As long as Sara gets some decent attention, I'm happy.

Norway: Jeeze, Cam. Those pictures are incredible- I like the ones of the guy in the parking garage particularly- but are you okay? Has your house been washed out? *boggles*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No, no. That was in the Western parts of Norway. I live further east. We got the wind and bad rain, but it had lost power by then. So all safe here.

Brick

[mirrie.livejournal.com]

Does this actually exist? *lol*
So you are leaving the fandom for good?

Re: Brick

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Not sure if in fanfic form, but I've heard it talked about, at least. So who knows.

Eh. I'll not be as invested in it as before for a while, but heck, I still manage to poke about LotR fandom now and then and I still like CSI. I just like something else even more.

I'll still do some fanfic now and then.

[rose-noire.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAAA

I saw GOFIA, and thought WTF. Goths?

And Brick is so funny.

que Bob the Builder!
