Dude, I have a serious conclusion.

[lite_bright]

Okay, we all know I am a bit obsessed with various sci-fi and fanstasy books/movies/tv shows. Right, maybe "bit" is the wrong adjective. They've totally taken over my brain. In a sort of "haha, we rule your thoughts" kind of way

OMG...Matt Skiba = THE BEST VAMPIRE EVER!

:D

[lite_bright]

He is an excellent vampire, now that I think about it. Hmm...new possibilities. Do you know if there are any vampiric fic/art versions of Matt Skiba?

[darkmike]

Give me a few days and there will be.

The weekend brings two weeks holidays with it. I'm gonna draw and write and do all the fun stuff that school doesn't allow for right now.

And my birthday present to myself this year is a nice bit of fanservice.

[slashophile]

lmao. Dude, I know how you feel. It's so hard for me to adjust to non-scifi fics. I just expect that evil alien to jump and rip a un-needed character limb from limb.

Real-life like stories bore me. Unless there's angst! That perks me up. ::smile::

[lite_bright]

The sad thing is, I used to be really okay with 'normal' fiction and stuff, but now, it's like, "damn, can't you just eat her brain, Heathcliff?" Yes, "Whuthering Heights" annoyed me for precislely that reason. Along with several other reasons, most notably that it drove me insane.

Angst perks me up, in fandoms where it's not canonical. I mean, a bit of, say, McKay angst is good, but X-Files angst drives me mad. The characters already suffer enough in canon!

[slashophile]

::laughs:: X-Files angst = not always a good thing. Mulder needs some unadultered fluff and love!

Heathcliff eating her brain? OMG! That was so funny.

[lite_bright]

See, and this is why I fled the X- Files canon/fandom. It's so...deep, and depressing. Even if it does have the pretty. Huh, maybe I should hunt down the fluffy X-Files fics that are out there, and shamelessly whore them to everyone. Sounds good.

Yes, and on an even lighter note, Zombie!Heathcliff is the only way to get through that book.

[nenya_kanadka]

Hee! I'm not so much about the supernatural stuff, but I'm so used to reading Star Trek fics, that anything set on terra firma without aliens in it almost bores me. Well, of course not if it's well done, but come on, can't they have just *one* green or blue or bumpy-headed person? Or refer to warp drive? Something? LOTR-reading jaunts have me wanting Elvish culture in everything.

Do you ever go around in real life referring to things by fiction names? My sister and I are always saying things like "OK, we'll take the turbolift...I mean elevator," or "Oh, wow, that painting/light fixture/jewelry is gorgeous! Elvish crossed with Bajoran, wouldn't you say?"

[lite_bright]

There definitely should be more aliens around, even if there's no reason whatsoever for their presence. It would make the sci-fi inclined among us feel much safer. Plus, I mean, why wouldn't you want a big and intimidating green being lurking about? Or maybe even something suitably LOTR-ish, possibly elvish? A few arrows, maybe some of the slight and fine jewelry/clothing/whatever?

Ah, I know exactly what you mean. Turbo- lift is a much cooler expression than elavator anyway.

[nenya_kanadka]

Yes! I'm more at home around aliens than humans sometimes. Went to church one day after having been soaking in DS9 and was shocked, shocked! to see that the entire gathering was human--not a Cardie or a Bajoran among 'em!

Turbolift just has a ring to it. As do phaser, or replicator...

Did you ever hear "The Billboard Song"? It's about someone reading an old billboard that's had many layers of ads posted on it, and they've ripped away so that you get things like, "Smoke Coca-Cola cigarrettes! Take your next vacation in a brand new Frigidaire!" Well, we filked that into a Trek version...ought to post it sometime. Much fun. :D

[lite_bright]

It really is shocking how humanoid this planet is. The aliens must be somewhere here. Maybe not at church, but they're somewhere here! They've got to be! I refuse to believe that they aren't.

Phaser. Just hearing that word makes me feel all fuzzy and comforted. Not because of what it is, but there are so many fun connotations of phasers, I just have to love that word. But I have to say, applying geographical concepts is the most fun. "I'm going into the West! I shall live among the elves!" is a favorite of mine, especially since, well, west of me is generally out into an ocean.

No, I've not heard "The Billboard Song" but I shall look foward to this filk. It has tremendous entertainment value, clearly.

[mortchilde]

Oh wow, this was such an amusing entry. Y'know, if it was slash fic, then the girlfriend probably DID turn out to have the forces of evil up her skirt, metaphorically. Haha. Women are often evil-ified or unfulfilling in slash. Hee.

[lite_bright]

I didn't stay around long enough to see if it was slash or not. The lack of aliens sent me scurrying away.

Yeah, one of the things that really gets to me is when women end up vilified in slash. They're not evil, you just don't like them!

[mortchilde]

Yes! I agree. They're often either terrible banshees who repress our gay heroes purely because they're unfortunate enough to be their girlfriends, or they're insufferable Mary-Sue straight-best-friends-called-Raven-with-issues-and-abusive-boyfriends. Bah.

But, ooh, does this mean the next time you write bodyjar ficlets, there'll be a spaceship involved? And are Kelis and Nas gonna fight evil droids together? Hurrah!

[lite_bright]

That's why femslash got invented. Well, I mean, if Aragorn and Faramir are gonna have hot and scruffly mansex, then Arwen and Eowyn had best get in on the action too. Really, it does annoye me that women often get objectified and become awful when in fandom. Especially with RPF. Because there are like, no female canon characters.

OMG! I am so writing the Bodyjar with robots in, and maybe, Kelis and Nas battling evil droids! Ahh! Awesome! (So, I hope you don't mind that I'm stealing your idea.)

[enomo67]

your a funny one...
