Adapting to fandom and other thoughts

[misscam]

Life. Blah. I shan't bore you with details, but BLAH I say. Blah!

First package of Who merchandise has arrived though, so yay. And customs didn't tax me after all, so thank you, state of Norway. Wee Ten is now mine, as well as the books (signed, not bad). Course, what I really want are the audio books, which are read by David Tennant, but not out till early July. BBC is such a mean tease.

Meanwhile, a question for you Brits - I have heard good things about Life on Mars, and it is very soon out on DVD - so should I fork over yet more money to the BBC and get it? Any other recs while at it?

And the answer to how far you can push the line in Supernatural fandom is... Not that far.

Doctor Who fandom - at least my corner of it - hasn't really had anything much in that vein, though there was a bit of a rapefic bruhahaha at GAFF. Humhum. I have noticed that my own lines have shifted a bit, though. Years ago I was all "RPF is wrooooong!", now I'm all "eh" and find it creepy at times, but mostly just whatever floats one's boat (or as I said to vaskalcorp today, "let he who is without kink throw the first stone"). Does fandom adapt you, I wonder?

So apparently Bush snubbed the Norwegian PM

*eyeroll* Always nice to be reminded how wee we really are. Of course, watch the US tell us we should increase oil output again next week. Then we're suddenly important. Hah. Bite me, Bush. I'll give you socialism germs.

And finally, for today's meme: In your fandom(s) of choice, what is the line you think most of the fandom would react badly to being crossed and why? Or has it already occured? I am curious.

Yes, I know. But I feel naughty enough already having my friend Kit Borrent help me with Doctor Who, and I have the money, so if it's good, might as well get the DVD. (I got The Office yesterday.)

Hum, interesting...

Oooh, a law-abiding citizen on the Internet! I'm shocked. :)

Hmmm, how much is the DVD, by the way? The sheer quality of the show's worth a lot of money, really. But I might be prejudiced.

If there are DVD extras as well, I might buy it, too, as soon as I stop being more or less broke.

I know, I know. Only Doctor Who has lured me down the dark, dark path, and that's saying some!

Doesn't say if it has extras But probably does some. More details might emerge when it's out in two weeks.

For 30 quid, it'd better have some! But thank you for the link. I shall have to wait two weeks then and maybe order it next month.
