→ Seeker fandom is bleeding all over my flist. Sorry guys. That totally sucks. I never got a chance to watch season two but I dug the show during season one. I know how you must feel. *hugs* So many great shows with awesome female characters have ended over the past couple of TV seasons. I heard that Damages got canceled too. Suck doesn't begin to ( Read more... )

I'm reading this really interesting article right now about privilege, which seems to be a hot topic every now and then here in fandom. And lately I've seen a bit of chatter about the privilege meme and its meaning/shortcomings/etc. A quick google search brought up a bunch of responses from internet bloggers when the meme was first making its ( Read more... )

→ princesaskater made a really beautiful (spoilery!) picspam for Harper's Island episode 1.11, Splash. Speaking of Harper's Island, they're skipping July 4th and airing the last two episodes back to back on July 11th on CBS. On wikipedia, it doesn't say when they're airing them on Global TV though so there may be an ep next week and there may not be. I'm ( Read more... )

I'm pretty notorious for having the least popular opinions you can have in fandom. I'm not sure why. And it's not as though I'm trying, it just is, you know? It would be far easier for me if this weren't the case. I am this way because Jacob made me this way, by the way.

I was talking to barefoot_chick about shipping and what happens when your favorite fanon pairing suddenly becomes canon. There they are, the special two, just going about their platonic existences, when before you know it, right before your eyes, there's full-on mackage and/or declarations of love, true lustloveAfter all of that writing, reading, discussing, ( Read more... )

Satire? Y/Y?

ETA: This popped up on my flist today. But I think it was written in December? I wonder why all the sudden attention?

Actually, I've been thinking about fandom and how each of us have differing levels of participation. ( what do you create? and why do you create it? )

I haven't really been paying that much attention to "Situation JubJub," if you will, and I am well aware that I am late to the game. I also know I'm mostly quiet on the fandom front, but I have brains in my head (and feet in my shoes!) and here's a small observation/analysis of the reason everybody is going batshit!crazyIt's about hero worship.

001. I was chatting with some folk over at LVI about the differences between Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and Pushing Daisies, thematically speaking. A term used relatively often, by myself at least, to describe Pushing Daisies, is "cute." And it is cute. And this is not a word most people would use to describe shows like Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls ( Read more... )
