Fandom, fandom, fandom... (With mushed ship names and other horrors)

[misscam]

*waves to newbies on flist* Hello. Feel free to poke about whenever you feel like here. I shan't bite, though my cat might.

Oi. The plagiarism in HP fandom goes on...

Good grief. And some of this only seems to be touching the surface of it. As if HP fandom needed more shit. But it does make me wonder - if a BNF sets a certain practice, do others follow? Because this does seem to have spread at least a little. Do the various fandoms need to start having revived birds-and-bees talks at certain ages? ("There comes a time in a bird's life when it may feel like stealing someone else's feathers...")

Drose????

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Kill the mushed ship names. Kill them with fire.

lotus79 if this catches on I am leaving the fandom dramatically and vociferously
misscam so am I. We can try and top each other with drama and woe in our leaving posts
lotus79 race you to f_w, heh
misscam I'll beat you. Bigger flist, more wank :P
lotus79 I will whine louder that you are a BNF and it isn't fair
misscam welcome to fandom, baby. It's as light on the fairness as it is logic

misscam I wonder if mushed ship names is wank bait for fandoms. I mean, look at CSI and HP... Ripe with it, and ripe with wank
lotus79 could be
lotus79 even more reason to fight it
misscam We need a commando team

imisscam it seems to become a trend once it first starts
misscam we could soon have Foudric
lotus79 *shudders*
misscam Fivgan
lotus79 over my rotting corpse
lotus79 T5gan looks much better
misscam that just looks like it has a Terminator in there
lotus79 hee
misscam TarDoc, the eternal OTP
misscam TwoJam, with many clever puns on flavours
lotus79 That looks far too much like toejam
misscam I guess it's a ship with much feet!porn

misscam see, now that dratted thing got me started. IT'S CONTAGIOUS. FLEE! FLEE!

Take a look at the horror of mushed ship names run free for yourself - a list of ship names from CSI fandom

Fandom seems a bit tense of late, anyhoo. Maybe we need some silliness. Or a relaxing chair. Speaking of Doctor Who fandom, I'm feeling the urge to co-write a DW fic, I am. Any of you lot be keen on such a thing at some point?

Drose.... *shudders* Sounds like the colloquial word for geode for me ^^

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

Mushed ship names are an endless source of amusement. Although 'Drose' makes me recoil in horror.

*shy* what sort of fic?

[ressie-noldo.livejournal.com]

Fourmana. Or Treinette.

Heaven forbid. *shudder*

[msgenevieve.livejournal.com]

Most ship names make me very cranky indeed and Drose, it seems, is no exception.

*weeps for the future*

[sc-angel72.livejournal.com]

Oh god, it was too early in the morning for that. Drose is awful and the CSI names.... gah. And yeah, fandom is tense. Maybe it needs to get laid. Then, omg, the co-mingling of fandoms could generate MORE mushed names.

House and Pokemon could hook up and be HOP or House of Poke.
CSI could hook up with Dog the Bounty Hunter and be CUD or C. You Dog.
Desperate Housewives and Lost? Desperately Lost, baby. The big DeLo ship.

*snort* And this is exactly why I shouldn't post sleep deprived. Ah well, hopefully fandom won't euthanize me quite yet. Have a fic to finish first.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

They're so all over CSI fandom that mocking them is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. Course, that never stops me.

Tenth Doctor, preferrably. Other than that, I'm just in the mood to try something a bit different and a co-writing tends to bring that since you're getting ideas from a brain other than your own as well, you know?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

There's a cheerful though - Drose, the geode ship!

*shudders too*

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

well I don't mind offering my services. Feel free to turn me down!

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

*lol* Their love lasted for eras *facepalms*

And why do you want a co-author?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Satan would be proud of the evil of mushed ship names, yes. He probably invents some.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*offers tissue*

[teenwitch77.livejournal.com]

Oh God, the mushed ship names. Noooo! (those CSI ones... oh the horror. Who thinks of these stupid things?)

In other news... Oh my God, Doctor Who was on just now, and... I officially just adore this freaking show. And I pretty much just want to marry David Tennant. *pets*

Damn it, I did not want to be sucked into another fandom.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

House of Poke sounds like a porn horror movie, or some such. Hum.

You should get some snooze. I should write. But we're all naughty people and never do as we should, do we?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

We could have a chat and see if some ideas spark, maybe? It would have to be something both are okay with, obviously.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Because it could be interesting and fun and a challenge and set my brain off in other directions.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

People who think they're smart and cute things, obviously. Tastes will vary and all.

Yay! Told you, didn't I? :P It can be oh so addictive, and oh yes on the David Tennant bit.

Fandoms are cruel like that. Meanies.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

ah, okay. say something when I can be of service... although I fear I'm not very creative and/or good at writing at the moment

[msgenevieve.livejournal.com]

*snuffles into borrowed tissue*

Thank you.

[kittenblah.livejournal.com]

'Drose' sounds like a wonderful combination of 'dull' and 'prose', which takes the whole 'Drose fic' thing to a completely new level.

The fandom does feel a bit like it's going downhill faster than a bus on black ice right now, everyone should just ship Doctor/Handcuffs instead. Cause that's where the marmalade is at, baby.

But even the NewWho wank cant seem to compete with NewsWank, even the BBC is going loopy over airports.

[teenwitch77.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* But but... CatNip? I can't even look at the other ones. Seriously, what? *smirks*

Oh God, it was a two-parter, and now I'm waiting for the next one to download because I'm all bouncy and pathetically addicted. DAMN YOU! =P

Now still gotta work on House with you. Then the conversion trade-off will be complete XD

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, compared to some of the fandoms I've been in, DW gas it relatively mild. Not that it makes it less annoying or anything.

The events of late does seem to have sparked a lot of (understandable) paranoia and media feeding frenzy. It'll die down. New stuff will replace it. How it always is.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

CatNip replaces Cowpokes and Hillbillies, which were the previous names. I'm not sure any of those were better.

Aha, the Cyberman two-parter, yes? I remember that cliffhanger. There's a mean cliffhanger in episode 8 as well. And 12. Damn those cliffhangers, truly.

Sadly for you, House airs on the one channel I can't get in Norway.

[cedara]

*hides face at reading the ship names*

Snickers is something you eat, not some mushy ship name. Gah.

[teenwitch77.livejournal.com]

Umm... ooookay. *hides*

Yep, that's the one. It's killing me. Aw man, that's a lot of cliffhangers. Oh, question! How long does Mickey tag along with them? I'm curious.

Ah yes, I remember you told me that. Ah well, I'll just have to convince you to download them sometime *grins*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'll keep that in mind - there's no rush on it or anything, so doesn't need to be right now. For one thing, I do have a large WIP I'm writing on.
