Or, fourth wall, what fourth wall?

So, Fod called me this morning to say that Joss left feedback on a vid of Serenity, set to Wicked's Defying Gravity. Nice feedback, of course.

He's also linked to the vid from Whedonesque. He says Tim Minear sent him to look at it. Tim left feedback too.

Fandom. It's a brave new fucking world.

Joss' comment is the first one on the post.

I'm so gobsmacked, I think I need a gobsmacked icon.

I do think that the WGA strike has a lot to do with the jackhammer that has smashed through the fourth wall in that fandom has been quasi-recruited (not a bad thing) and at the moment contact between fans and writers is roughly at 1/2 a degree of separation. And as a slash-writer I don't know how I feel about this- slight tangent below

No worries

I guess at this point, it's a wait and see game. How much is too much? I don't know. But I don't want to stop something potentially amazing and ground breaking before it's even started just because there may be risk.

We are on a fault line for change to be sure. It's not just that the delivery method for tv/stories is being radically shaken up, this strike may utterly alter the landscape between pro-writer and fan-writer, between pro-product and fan-product. It may blur the boundaries in ways that are good for creativity...

It's just a tad disconcerting to be applauded for something we were ridiculed for, for so long.

As for women writers, editors, directors damn right we need more female voices speaking in the media and ripping the envelope. It would be nice to think that if we change the stories we can affect change on the world.

"It would be nice to think that if we change the stories we can affect change on the world."

I'm a firm believer in that kind of revolution, man. You learn about a culture by the stories they tell. I want some of my favorite stories to be told out loud for a change.

Man. It's so crazy weird. *flails*

I have already informed my husband that his very last argument about my fanfiction being on the same level of geekdom as his anime fixation and lead-figurine gaming has come to a crashing, fiery demise.

They're going to have to take us off the Geek Hierarchy soon at this rate. (And leave him behind with the furries and people who have Star Wars theme weddings.)
