Much ado about WTF, fandom and fic meme
Aug. 10th, 2006 08:09 amMum dragged me to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie yesterday, and we agreed it was a good watch, but the first was funnier.
Also, am I the only one in the world who does not lust Johnny Depp and/or Jack Sparrow? Because he really doesn't do much for me in that department.
First promo pictures for season three of Doctor Who
Obviously, spoilers if you haven't seen season two and heard the British media buzz. ( Some spoillery comments of Cam's )
I spy with my little eye DW Real Person Fic:
“I wish we had more scene’s like that.” Billie said quietly.
Will fandom embrace this and make it a trend, one wonders? (I used to get a bit wary around RPF - a lot of it related to tinhat experiences-, but you know fandom has mellowed me out when what makes me groan is the grammar.)
Follow-up on the Cassie Claire plagiarism debacle - Heidi plagiarism debacle. Oh dear. Oh deeeeear. This is certainly getting more involved by the minute. WTF, Harry Potter fandom? (Does make you wonder - how much is a fandom formed by its early BNF members? How much is it formed as a reaction to them? I wonder, I do.)
The WTF is high in this one as well
Sounds like it could be handy for performing abortions, and I'm sure a lot of us would be tempted to use such a device on those who deserve it.
... You know, I am rather strongly pro-choice, but that also means people should have a choice to attempt to carry their fetus to term if they so wish. (The body can be fairly cruel in that manner and not always give you a choice. Part of the reason I don't believe in life at conception - if you follow that, the human body is the most prolific abortion performer out there.) Also, "deserve" it? Charmed, I'm sure.
Finally, seems to be a new sort of "DVD commentary on fics" meme going about - where you do one on someone else's fic. If any feel like doing one of mine, I'd be all too flattered. Might be possible to arrange some sort of trade, too. You'll find examples of how it's done here.
