In the Wank That Ate Fandom and Made It To the Media, a ruling has happened in the Harry Potter Lexicon case. Anyone really shocked by what it is? Because I'm not. (And there's also the strangely parallel Torchwood wank. Huh. Must be the season.)
In a slightly WTF: Green polar bears. After swimming in algae, apparently. Urk. Say, all that algae the BSG lot eats and handles, will that have scary green effects eventually?
In a slightly '...oi': A cooking shows causes further problems for Thai PM. A lot seems to have happened in Thailand while I was distracted by holiday. Must look into.
In secret that caught my eye on

In a 'say what now?': Three young women out walking in Oslo’s Furuset district Monday evening were threatened by a man waving a sword. Several questions arises here. 1) What the hell? 2) How very Viking? 3) How much alcohol had either he or they been drinking? and 4) What the hell?
Plans for today (another glorious day off): Make

Date: 2008-09-09 12:13 pm (UTC)Re: the fandomsecret: oi. I have a really good friend who's a super-exclusive Rose/Ten shipper, and who doesn't much care for the later companions, whilst I'm more of a Martha and Donna person. And if we ever stopped talking because of that, I would go out and slap myself about the face with a very large, wet fish until I realised what an idiot I was.
Is it terrible of me that the thought of someone dashing about the street waving a sword made me giggle madly? xD

Date: 2008-09-09 12:21 pm (UTC)I rather like Rose, Martha and Donna (but not Jack, whch makes me an oddity in fandom) and I try not to make judgements on people based on tastes varying. But I do get uncomfortable when a lot of vitrol is directed at any of the companions - goes when it's friends of mine doing it too.
Heh, no. I'd be very curious to hear why exactly the guy waved a sword around. Seriously, why a sword?!
no subject
Date: 2008-09-09 12:34 pm (UTC)But yeah, I see what you mean about it being uncomfortable. In our case, we tend to talk about how awesome so-and-so is in a non-shippy way, or how cool/scary/whut episode x was... or if we're feeling really adventurous, stuff other than Dr Who. :P There's enough stuff to talk about that companion shipping doesn't have to come up, and if it does then each of us just doesn't go out of our way to say things that will annoy the other.
Because swords are governed by the Rule of Cool, clearly. There doesn't have to be a reason. :D

Date: 2008-09-09 01:03 pm (UTC)Yeah, it's never easy hearing bad things about something you really like. Easy to get defensive and then the other gets defensive and suddenly you have wank. Blah. But yeah, a little care goes a long way then.
Haha. I shall remember that should I ever feel an urge to break one out.

It makes you wonder "why a sword?".

Date: 2008-09-09 12:25 pm (UTC)Definitely true. And... it's harder to trace should something go amiss and someone get seriously injured? (Who the goodness thinks to use a sword?)
And... In the event of an emergency... it cannot be used as a life-raft.
woooo.
That's really great to hear. It's really too bad about the fire, though. :(

If it weren't in the news that there was some person running around with a sword, no one would THINK "sword". But now that it's out in public and around the world and whatnot, people are going to be looking for "sword".
...Which is actually stranger than it should be.

ponder what next writing project should be of mine (taking suggestions and nags - not sure I'm feeling inspired at the moment)
Roslin/Adama with a Kara/Lee interlude for me? *bats eyelashes*

okay... AU babyfic where Bill and Laura secretly had an affair 30 years ago and the baby was given up for adoption and turns out to be Kara, making her frakfest with Lee into incest.

No? Just kidding, I'll keep thinking...

(We're looking for mods too, if you're interested. I know you're busy with other comms though so no obligation. :) )
no subject
Date: 2008-09-09 05:06 pm (UTC)I've been slow to catch up as I suck, but that sounds quite interesting. What's the main purpose of the comm - political discussions in general with a European bent, or more debates about current oitical on-going in Europe as it happns or...? I'd totally be interested - my father dabbles in politics and I was a lot into it when I was young.
T&C is not that much of an obligation since I share it with two fellow mods - I'd certainly be willing to help out.
no subject
Date: 2008-09-09 05:51 pm (UTC)Both really. Discussion about politics in Europe, either one country or several, the EU, that kind of thing. Plus worldwide news looked at from a European perspective.
Okay, cool. I'll keep in mind that you're interested and I'll let you know when we think about that kind of stuff. The comm is very new and just being set up atm.
