Why is this too solid flesh not melting? ([info]apoplexia) wrote in [info]fandom_wank,

Why would they give me pink armor?
Many of you may be familiar with the popular web series Red vs Blue. If not, suffice to say it's a series of brief movies acted out using the game Halo and then dubbed over with amusing dialogue.

Over on red_vs_blue, a community where normally people just get together to talk about what they liked in the previous episode, lasarus has the temerity to ask "I don't suppose there's anyone else here who slashes RvB? *g*"

And we're off! Highlights include the now traditional question:

WTF is "slash?" I see that it's M/M M/F and so an and so forth. M/M M/F what exactly? Do please tell.

dupa explaining that the reason it's called slash is that "It sounds better than: obsessing over polygonal videogame characters having straight, gay and animalistic sexual tendencies in very poorly written wordpad documents."

And schroe's tragic tale of loss: "Unfortunately one of my friends fell into the slash fiction writing with Invader Zim and I haven't really spoken to her on the same level since."

Bonus: keep an eye out for our very own [info]jaina showing up to fight the good fight.

ETA: The latest video, which details some of the ways in which dealing with people on the internet is different to dealing with them in real life, suddenly seems very apropos.
