Looking for beta; BSG webisode, dickweeds, ow backs and Pride and Prejudice as Facebook

[misscam]

I kind of sort of accidentally wrote a 3,000 word Narnia fic. Oops? But er, yeah, would anyone be willing to give it a beta eye and weed out my mistakes and typos? Knowledge of Narnia helpful. I'd be mighty grateful.

In other stuff:

- Catch the Frak Up, a SciFi summary of Battlestar Galactica up to the episodes to air in January. Includes calling Adama and Roslin 'soulmates'. Heh.

- First BSG webisode is live!

- Obama shipping is apparently SRS BSNS, who knew?

- David Tennant's understudy apparently got a standing ovation at West End, which is nice. I'd hate it if disappointed Doctor Who fans managed to do something stupid there. And owow, back pains :( I feel sympathy pains just from thinking about it.

- Also in Tennant-as-Hamlet news, someone has apparently started a petition to get the play on DVD. Hmm.

- The story of the corrupt Illinions governor has been amusing me greatly, mostly for the sheer stupidity involved in it. Latest, governor refuses to quit even and is working while out on bail (bwhaha), attorney general of Illinois tries to get him declared unfit to serve.

- Dickweedery never dies, as this guy proves: What troubles me so deeply, and should trouble all thinking Americans, is that there is a real, unbroken line between the jihadist savagery in Mumbai and the hedonistic, irresponsible, blindly selfish goals and tactics of our homegrown sexual jihadists. OH NO YOU DIDN'T.

- Also in the same league, the Vatican is opposing an UN Declaration on decriminalisation of homosexuality. Because they're dickweeds. (Not like the UN resolution says 'hey, homosexuality is grand and smashing, lets all get behind it!', but rather that people shouldn't get bloody EXECUTED for it or face other punishments, ffs.)

- If you missed it, Pride and Prejudice as Facebook updates. Pure genius.

Would it amuse you more to learn that he used to not only be a lawyer, but a prosecuting attorney?

Oh, I know! I read his wiki entry when this whole thing first broke, and yeah, I rather laughed a fair bit.

*raises hand*

I'd love to read your Narnia fic!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome! Preferred e-mail I can send it to? Hugs, cyber cookies and so forth sent your way.

No rush, and it's about 3000 words as mentioned.

[denorios.livejournal.com]

Send it to denorios77@hotmail.com - that'd be fun!

I'm just so happy you're writing Narnia fic! You're such a great writer.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Sent.

Never thought I would be, but rewatching the movies trigged a major nostalgia trip in me that also apparently stirred some writing urge. My brain is a weird thing.

Urgh, catholicism... :@

That is ridiculously fantastic. Total genius. XD

Someone made the very good point that if the Vatican is against decriminalization of homosexuality, they better be for letting courts punish cheating spouses too, as that's as much a sin as buggery in their book.

But of course, that would get straight people in trouble, can't have that.

BITE ME VATICAN.

BITE ME VATICAN.

HA!! Do you think I could get that on a t shirt?! :P

Yes, the stuff on Governor Blo (as my family so lovingly calls him, being Illinoisans and all) is amusing in that sick, disappointing sort of way. As though having another crap governor (George Ryan) doing bad things wasn't enough. That and the supposed mob ties with Chicago Mayor Daley and his crew...

I JUST LOVE MY HOME STATE :p

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Illinois certainly has an... Interesting history of governors, yes.

It's a pity the petition is just some online thing, because honestly, I think it's the best answer for the people who missed Tennant *and* the RSC, who must at this point be well aware that it would be a megamoneymaker. And I can't see too many of the actors turning down an opportunity to do one more performance live for the cameras, not when they know that they'll be getting not just royalties, but amazing worldwide publicity.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Theatre productions aren't always that into it , but yeah, I imagine it would sell quite a bit.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Isn't there some British version of "Live at the Lincoln Center" on BBCwhatever?

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

Obama shipping is only srs bznss if you're not actually a member of either politifics or rahmbamarama. Because the people complaining about the shipping aren't comm members.

I'm actually kind of proud - I've never been part of a comm that made it on f_w before!

And much love for the link to the webisodes! FELIX.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, heh.

The political shipping phenomenon seems to have taken off quite a bit - seen it all over the place of late.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

I'll beta the Narnia fic too, if you'd like...

*looks at dickweedery link* ... *gets sword, giggling maniacally* oooh... gonna regret that, boy-o...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I got an offer above *points* I took advantage of.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

Eh, figured I'd offer anyway, just in case :3

Christ! I hate those people who say that homosexuals have the same rights as heteros - to marry someone of the opposite sex. I want to respond with "So if you all only had the 'same' right of marrying someone of the same sex, would it still be fair? How's about everyone can have the same right for religion - you all have the right to only worship Thor! (Acolytes of Odin, or any of the other Norse deities will be let off with a light beating)

The nerve of that guy, trying to make legal protestors trying for constitutional right the same as murdering terrorists. Jackass.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I suspect a lot of people don't get quite what 'equal rights' actually mean. It doesn't mean someone has the same rights you do - it means they have the same rights everyone has, and not just you personally.

Because protesting legally and peacefully for what you percieve as a wrong is clearly the same as blowing up hotels and killing people. CLEARLY.

In other news, there was a Norwegian college student at a dinner I went to last night, and thanks to the info I've picked up through reading your journal over the years, I was able to make conversation about things like Norway's royal family, and the fact that they have super high gas prices despite all that oil they have. I felt so cultural and edumacated.

LOVE the Pride & Prejudice Facebookery! Makes me want to watch the entire BBC Production over Christmas :D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I have it on DVD, and now you made me want to rewatch it too. Damn.

[dreamingwriter.livejournal.com]

*rubs hands together* Gov. Blago is going down! Can you hear that? That's all of Southern Illinois celebrating. We're very happy.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Now, now, first you'll have to actually get him removed or get him to resign - he seems intent to cling on all the way to jail :P

P&P as Facebook newsfeed really is brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
