That's right...

You're on notice.

Blergh. 6.30 a.m and off to work. Woe.

I love that generator. :D

Also, why koala bears? What do you have against my most favorite animal?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Don't you know they're lethal... with cute?

[alice-to-qs-8th.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, when you put it that way, I guess I would have to agree with you.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

1pm and already at work. :p

And I have to ask... what did the Koala Bears do to you? (except not, in fact, be bears)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

They were lethally cute.

You and your fancy time difference.

[kasuchi]

Batshit twice. Who am I to argue?

I tossed in House/Cameron 'shippers, 'shippers in general, really, wanksters, and the CSI fandom. As did, like, all my flist who managed to escape that madhouse. I want to add YTDAW to the mix.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Batshit needs extra notice, we all know.

Ah, YTDAW. I'm still on it, you know. Except these days I mostly hang in the Doctor Who thread.

[kasuchi]

Indeed.

Oi, I remember you! I was ickle Kasuchi, always asking for fic recs and proclaimin' she wasn't a 'shipper. (Apparently at 2 AM, I'm East End rather than Southern Belle. *headdesk* I'm sorry for my whacked out brain. It is late.)

Anyway, I was there for a while. Got driven away by the sheer inability of those people to possibly consider another pairing remotely valid. And the Greg Hate. Can't stand Greg Hate; reminds me of Chase Hate.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You do? I don't remember you, but my memory is like a Swiss cheese, so no surprise. Don't think I did that much remarkable at YTDAW anyway - did get into argument with mods once, though. Also over the validity over other pairings.

I do remember the period of much Greg-hating and some really, really idiotic banners. Oh the memories...

[kasuchi]

Well, we never interacted, but I saw your posts here and there. And I think I remember the mod war getting a mention on Kay's journal a couple of years ago. (God, it's been that long. *boggles*)

I hated those banners. I turned off sigpics just because those banners were awful; they were large, some were filthy, and it just made me angry to look at them.

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

I dinnae remember you, but those sigs and the rampant Greg Hate (which still flares up from time to time apparently--don't go acting like you like Greg in a thread all about a Greg-ep) is pretty much what drove me off YTDAW. I still poke my nose in once in a while, but yeah, I turned sigs off for the same reason.

[kasuchi]

I'd be lucky to be remembered; I wasn't a prominent member. (How could I be, liking the Greg/Sara friendship-maybe-relationship and disliking the blatant self-love of the board?) I mostly recced / asked for fic recs and kept to myself. Plus, my signature was text-based.

Yeah, the only reason I pop in is for spoilers and maybe fic recs for some other shows other than CSI. I'm rather tired of the board at this point, though, and it seems that between teenwith77 and gabesaunt and a few others, I don't really need them.

Is it wrong of me to say I'm not all that torn up about it? *grin*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. I slept through most of the fun, but I did have a mod pop by here and blah blah much ado about fandom. I was never GSR exclusive, which did make me perhaps more easily annoyed by some of the stuff here.

The years do pass...

Amazing how much idiocy one can create by just a few pixels. But have a banner just slightly against the GSR and there was always complaints. I remember some of those fights too.

[kasuchi]

The only mod I liked was mystery, since that was the only mod I saw on any regular basis. I remember liking VR Trakowski's work; I felt it was true to character (ie - didn't slaughter Greg or Nick or Warrick) and was well-written. Mossley, of course, remains queen of the casefile fic. Man, that fandom was so awful. *pokes it* I'm glad I wasn't mired in my love; hell, I'm glad the love wore off.

So quickly, too.

A few?! Those banners were freaking wallpapers, they were so huge! I hated it; it made the page stretch and load times sucked even on cable! And the banner fights were just the last straw; people did not need to attack each other over pinpoints of light in a monitor. If it bothered them so much, they should have done what I did and just turn off signatures. It saved a lot of time and headaches in the long run.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I had some friends who got into blah with mystery, but sometimes, mod blah is unavoidable on such a large board. I certainly don't envy them the job even if I might disagree with various stuff.

VR Trakowski is still about, still writing. She's fairly awesome. Many others have just wandered off, bit like you I suppose. I mostly hang for the nostalgia.

They made rules on banner size eventually, it got so out of hand. People did seem to fight just for the sake of fighting sometimes - even now arguments still live. Fuuun.

[kasuchi]

Ew. Well, at least it stopped being a cesspool of wank like it was in my day.

I really enjoyed her work. I'm glad she's still writing, and House now, too! I know mossley had to stop because of her health, and that really saddens me; no one else did a casefile fic to the same quality she did. Her research was impeccable, her characters perfectly fashioned. She was a credit to the fanfiction world in her own right. *nods* I may overestimate her, but she was good. *g*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah. So many of the good ones have wandered off. And not all of the new ones are great. Sniff.

I remember YTDAW before it became YTDAW - those were the olden days, truly. Less wank, less fangirls, less I-weep-for-English.

[robin-2370-hood.livejournal.com]

It's one in the morning here. I have an essay due in my second class that isn't written yet, and seeing that just made me smile. Thank you. Now I'm going off to applying Aristotle's character types to Dorothy Day. With any luck I'll get a little sleep in, too.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ah, the days of education. Fond times and not so fond times. And sleep, sometimes.

Good luck!

[robin-2370-hood.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the luck, it worked. It's almost three in the morning, but everything is done, so that's good. And what else is private school but a really expensive place to nap?

[furius.livejournal.com]

If this is not a redundant question, what're vile!mice?

Batshit koala bears sounds like the scariest thing in the world...

[kerowyn47.livejournal.com]

Your icon is disturbingly facinating. Like, in a good way.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Vile!Mouse

Hee! Now there's an amusing mental image.

[kerowyn47.livejournal.com]

For a second there, I thought this was for realz, and I was like "I didn't know Colbert was into fandom."

[hadria.livejournal.com]

Haha, this generator has spread so fast.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It is shiiiiiiny.

[cutting-rm-flr.livejournal.com]

Koala bears? You're not holding kangaroo court again are you?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You know me. I'm always holding courts, I just vary the animals.

[boz4pm.livejournal.com]

*LOL* Batshit gets on the list twice, which is only right and proper. *sniggers*

[cincoflex.livejournal.com]

Hey! Bats have to shit sometime--and I'm betting they don't appreciate their waste being used to describe knuckle-dragging homophobic Westboro semen-burping guttersluts, you know? Bats have CLASS for God's sake!

(This post brought to you by Miss Manners, on crack apparently.)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Bats have class. Shit does not.

[lyricalviolet.livejournal.com]

6:30 am? That is way to early to be going to work :( Isn't there some kind of law against being forced to leave one's house at that hour?

[renn.livejournal.com]

Stop picking on the koalas!

Now, go ahead and bash DW fandom all you want! ;)

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

It amuses me that batshit made it onto the list twice.

[wintergreen126.livejournal.com]

just out of curiousity...what did norwegian customs do to receive an on notice, uh, notice?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

They suck.

Basically, anything you buy abroad worth over 200 NOK (30-40 dollars) you have to payx tax on. And often the fees to let customs figure out the tax are higher than the tax itself.

Current government promised they'd raise the limit to 1000 NOK (over 150 dollars) and haven't yet. I hates them. If they raised it, I could buy DVD boxsets abroad without so much effing trouble.
