Freudians and Fanfic

[misscam]

Bro and I were out driving and had the radio on, listening to a debate on Bush's year. One of the guys in the studio was a Burke or something, speaking for "Republicans Abroad" (Marius: "I can tell by his hard accent he's a Republican." Me: "How so?" Marius: "He wields Norwegian like it's a machine gun and we're the terrorists.") and of course the reporter manages to at the end address him with "Thank you, Mr. Bush..."

Going a bit Freudian there, reporter? (Marius and me: "Mwhahaha!")

Found this via evilstorm - Times on fanfic. Whofic gets a mention - so does Cassie Claire's Draco triology. Hum. So some Times reporter has been wandering around Whofic, has she? I wonder what she's been reading... Please tell me she hasn't just read some of the dreck there of late. (Like this. Why oh why is that on Whofic? Oh yes, and it's a spoiler for season two of the series.)

Holiday happenings in Norway

Lutefisk!

Hahaha..your brother sounds fun.

I enjoyed the lutefisk link a lot. Even if I still think lutefisk is scary. But, as one of the capitons read:"One of the attractions of the lutefisk feast is that even if the wobbly main attraction frightens you, there are piles of trimmings to tempt."*lol*

As for the meme..uhm, Harry Potter!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Well, he is related to me :P

Trimmings and alcohol, that's what we really eat lutefisk for.

[falena]

The Sandman family must really be something. *G*
And you'd make a wonderful Minerva, I'm sure. :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Come meet us and find out.

I think I could do her smack-downs of students, I do.

[falena]

Uhm, must confess I find the idea of meeting the Sandman household a bit intimidating. I bet you all use that scary lutefisk with impoilte guests. ;P

And that's exactly what I was thinking. *lol*

[falena]

Of course, If only I could spell that would read "impolite guests!...I wonder why there is no "edit comment" feature. *smacks evil!LJ*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No, that would only be me. The rets of my scary family actually likes to eat it and would consider it a waste of good fish.

They're all mental.

[falena]

The rets of my scary family actually likes to eat it and would consider it a waste of good fish.

They can be about what happened after or before events in the original or can fill gaps in plot, character and relationships or, indeed, rectify perceived errors.

I know what you are thinking: what a bunch of geeks.

Yep, that's me, I'm a fanfiction geek and proud of it.

[starra-cat.livejournal.com]

I believe you vaguely know of Stargate SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis. You pick. (Remember Stargate Atlantis is the stargate show with the Scottish/Czech/etc. accents.) Or you could just choose something wildcard.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I vaguely know the original, but I couldn't name even half the characters, sheesh!

Popping in very late to say that I read that fanfic article too, and thought 'Oh dear. Has she looked at fanfiction.net at all?'
Sure, there's some great stuff on there, but the majority is hellish. It made me laugh a little bit.

[kittycatness.livejournal.com]

". . .the occasional gem of such superlative quality that it enhances one’s appreciation of the original. One from the Harry Potter genre is The Draco Trilogy by a twenty-something New Yorker who writes under the pseudonym Cassandra Claire (access it via the fictionalley website.) You couldn’t make it up."
Personally, I'm not a fan of the Draco Trilogy. I started reading it but my eyes burnt out from some of the grammar.


Didn't you used to like Star Trek: Voyager?

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

Star Trek: The Next Generation. Or, if you prefer, Voyager.
