5:51pm: Woah.
Peter A. (I don't know his middle name and truly can't bring myself to care) David is sort of the professional Fandom Whore (tm). You liked it, he probably was connected to it in some obscure fashion. Star Trek? Writer for the show, a few thousand books including the insipid
Imzadi business that I salivated over when I was younger. He writes comic books as well,
Supergirl, Young Justice, the incredibly wanky
Captain Marvel with an even wankier runs on
Hulk and Aquaman. You can check out his bibliography
here to see if he has visited your fandom as well.
He's a fan's fan, a fan's writer, a fan about town. He does weekly updates on what he's seen (Smallville, West Wing, Angel, etc.), read (ie comics), or heard (waaaaaank). It's kind of interesting to hear about the (comic)industry from someone so immersed in it but duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude can he get defensive sometimes.
He recently wrote a
Supergirl story about how Mary Marvel (Ms. Marvel) gets groped by a police officer. Other than being wonderfully 'topical' it was pretty damn benign. 'Course comic_fen are all sorts of crazy and we get a delightful threat of:
"Say one more bad thing about my friend of over seven years and I'll hire a hooker to help me push you over. Really, it's true. There will be a reckoning...."This appalls our dear PAD prompting him to post about the "
threat" invoking possibly many a law with a:
"And you don't have to be worried that you'll be standing at a convention holding your one year old daughter in your arms, chatting with someone, and suddenly some guy is going to come up to you and take a shot at you and he misses you and you're standing there covered in your child's blood.".
PAD, really. ::shakes head::
He continues to fume about the Beatles, Catcher and the Rye and the Perils of Teh Internet over at the
Apology thread that's a hoot and a half.
( Catcher In The Rye and a Lost Beatle, cut to give ya'll a taste... )There is so. much. more. it's not even funny. Go, wade through and boggle. I'm gonna go back to my high stack of
Young Justice comics and giggle some more...
