You know how all you fangeeks out there sometimes lean back a little from your computer screens, rub the glow from your eyes and say, "Whoa. What the hell am I doing? Did I really just spend 4 hours reading Snape/Dumbledore hurt-comfort because it's by THAT author I'll whore myself out to for absolutely anything omg I would follow them into hell ( Read more... )

You repeated Supernatural twice....and left out Farscape.

*reminds you of the leather*

Jesus woman, you're fast! *waves hand at you crankily* I fixed the SPN thing, I fixed it...jeez. ;-P

And I couldn't come up with one for Farscape! Any ideas? Crystal Meth? I don't know...

jebbypal April 17 2006, 15:10:06 UTC

Hmmmm....Of course, my drug knowledge is sorely lacking.

I'd say Farscape is you know peyote or LSD -- because every story arc and such has an overarching theme/fantasy and all the charcters can be interpreted as part of John's id/personality...so it's one big long trip in leather, with the occassional oh so bad trip when plans get frelled to hell.

Oh, man. Farscape is SO LSD. Seriously. Especially the cartoon episode. One craaaaazy trip.

... fortunately I think I must have a well-developed resistance to roofies and alcohol. I haven't yet lost my inhibitions when writing fic for it.

Yet. Aaaaaigh. *facepalm*

poisontaster April 17 2006, 17:12:58 UTC

Yet's the operative word there, sweets. *g*

kurukami April 17 2006, 17:32:56 UTC

Thus, the aaaaaaaigh and the *facepalm*. : )

OMG, icon = ASOIAF?

(Heh, I just realized that this little message is only about 25% actual words. Sorry.)

ignipes April 19 2006, 01:50:24 UTC

Yes!

ASOIAF: The fandom where everything that all other fandoms still believe is "shocking" and "daring" has already been done in canon, and then some. ;)

....HAHAHAHA.

Yes, yes, yes and YES! You are so spot on for all of these! Oh god that amuses me to no end. NO END I TELL YOU. Heeheehee...

Oh by the way, my friend writing the paper has EFFUSIVE thanks. I have it under good authority that she squealed when I sent her the links. So, you made her happy :D

mona1347 April 18 2006, 20:21:12 UTC

Heee heeeee!!! Why thank you!

Oh I'm so glad re: your friend's paper. MORE PEOPLE need to be academically studying fandom. We are an old and august subculture, dammit! :-D Tell her also to feel free to browse my research community from a couple of years ago, anth_mona. *hugs*
