So last I checked, fandom-counts is up to almost 30,000 members. That's 30,000 LJers in FandomLand. I have never seen fandom this united about something, this wankerrific, and I am so very amused by the turn of events.

Also, in a gesture of good will, teh LJ overlords have restored pornish-pixies and other fiction communities. I'm still a bit apprehensive about what CAN ( Read more... )

I found this rather funny but I do believe people should be informed. Thus, another set of links. First the fiasco regarding FanLib.com...and now this.

And this time, it isn't just about the fan ficcers out there. This is for everyone. So miyachan just gave me a heads up on what's been happening on Livejournal as of late...

I've slowly started long overdue forays into the fandom communities, despite the fact I've been pressed for time between work-training, meet ups with all the right people, mommy-visiting, frolicking with the brother, Skyping like a madwoman, and mom-listening. I have yet to write a BSG fic dated in the long wait for the next season. The Roslin in ( Read more... )

Forgive me. But after academics, I needed to do some fan-girling.

( Battlestar Galactica, The L Word, Heroes, Alias, The Global Frequency, Rome, and Grey's Anatomy )

I saw Crossroads Pt. 1 last night and deferred the urge to write about it then and there. Firstly, because I am without doubt frustrated with Ron Moore. If he, in his finite wisdom, doesn't find it in his heart to make the writing and storyline as tight as Heroes (or he probably just doesn't have the talent) and not ( Read more... )

EDIT: This isn't personal. It's wankery.

I believe God just bashed me in the head and reminded me that some people just don't see the inner trappings of post-colonial theory, don't actually have the literary theory training I have or the cultural studies stuff that I read.

So I posted at the 300-movie community, where they worship and praise 300 for all ( Read more... )

I'm back in business, somewhat. Here's a variety of reviews for the lot of you. The first is a movie (or documentary, if you can call it that), and the last two are Battlestar Galactica episodes (because they're long overdue!)

Loose Change
4 or 5 out of 10 stars (Because I'm extra critical to filmmakers who make documentaries)
( Conspiracy theory movie that needed more research & credible sources... )

They're releasing "300" on Imax! WOWZA! I'm sooo gonna watch it again!

( And now, some '300' academic wankery for the blind and the not-so-blind...SPOILERS! )

I walk down a street in the interstices of school
and our gazes meet.
The road I tread
mows through her irises, presses her prisms
and I own
the eyes with which she watches me...

I'd like to bring into attention the 'gaze' by which we watch people, a function of gaydar, tied to knowing. It's a rather peculiar thing, I think, that certain people ( Read more... )
