We need more old stuff in the newsletter
the_cortex is a new fandom newsletter for Firefly fans.

The editors ask for feedback, and _touched is happy to help by asking for more Wash/Kaylee links, such as links to old fics if there aren't any new ones to link to.

Various people attempt to explain the basic concept of a newsletter (linking to news, just in case you weren't sure), and the editors profess their willingness to include links to anything new about Wash/Kaylee, but there's just not much new being posted at the moment.

_touched responds: "This hardly seems fair or unbias to me, honestly. I understand the need for establishing the rules and believe it or not I respect that, I just think it's sad that some of the characters and pairings are going to go overlooked just becuase they haven't been written within the past few days or whatever is deemed new."

The wankiness lies mostly in how long it takes to explain the basic concept of the newsletter so that _touched can understand it, and in her odd retractions. "You're not posting any Wash/Kaylee." "You're wrong, we are posting what we can find, eg x, y and z." "Well, I didn't say you weren't posting ANY." "Yes you did." "Oh, nitpick if you must."

It's all fairly mild-mannered, but I found it amusing enough.

ETA: Late-breaking wank. blaar_rosir faces off against _touched, _touched threatens to bring the mods down on blaar_rosir, neither one will back off an inch, and duckytears puts on her mod hat to send them both to their rooms.

_touched_in_the_head: if you see what I'm saying?

No.

I guess I was just hoping once in a while you guys might pick something different or draw from an older one just to throw variety out there

No.

I'm just fine.

No.

but I'd have to be sure that you guys would actually link to it if I took the time and the effort to make a recs list like that, though.

Man, [info]_touched is indeed a clueless dork, but there's the distinct sound of wank in the air from the other side too.

"Let us know if you have any suggestions."

"Here's a suggestion."

"OMG YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF US!!! STOP TELLING US WHAT TO DO!!!"

Stupid suggestions are still suggestions, dude. If you aren't prepared to deal with them gracefully even from annoying clueless idiots, don't solicit them.

Hm. Talking to _touched there looked like banging against the proverbial wall but editors! Screen your comments or restrain yourselves. A pile on is never going to help. It looks like every single one of the editors joined in on that. Could everysingleway not cope with one dumb question?* See, ummm.

[info]thecortex only links to fics posted recently, pursuant to its newsletter brief. [info]thecortex is not a recs community. If you would like to find some Wash/Kaylee fic, I suggest the rec room, crack_van, the Kaylee/Wash shippers community, or check out these users, who are interested in kaylee/wash:
# captainoats - emily
# [info]everysingleway - Shirley
# [info]naughtyelf - Rach

Thanks for your comment.

I'm not even in that fandom. That took me about forty five seconds.

*If she can't, I predict a wankocalypse on thecortex within three weeks.

I just thank God that fandom is small, because that pairing - like the Rogue/Wolverine pairing of old - is just retarded.

No, I wasn't implying that they were exactly canon. What I meant was they're subtexty canon (if you look for it, like you pointed out)

You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I threw up the roadblock at Kaylee/Wash. Like everyone else here, I firmly believe there is no ruttin' way Wash would ever want anyone but Zoe. And Kaylee... Between Simon, Inara and Serenity, she's got plenty to choose from without even thinking of Wash. Oh, and me. Pick me, Kaylee, pick meeee!

They had 300 watchers yesterday and today they're up to almost 400. Apparently f_w is good advertising! I'm totally one of those new hundred.

And hey! In today's issue, the editor recced a Wash/Kaylee fic! [is amused]

Going to play devil's advocate here, but Wash/Kaylee isn't actually that hard to imagine (for me, anyway). Being a Joss show, Zoe and Wash probably would have ended up having some kind of implosion. And I always sensed some Wash/Kaylee subtext. But who knows if it ever would have been canon.

Well, at least my first comment here is going to be a memorable one :)

I hate that show. It's f'ing garbage, and a rip-off of just about every single space anime/movie/show I've ever seen. There's no creativity... nothing new... I almost choked on my cornflakes when I saw the one chick come out of her box a-la Outlaw Star.

I can't believe people wank on this crap, and that it has a freaking MOVIE coming out.

And in today's post (http://www.livejournal.com/community/the_cortex/2347.html) in which the mods do have a W/K fic listed, _touched writes "Thank you for MY Wash/Kaylee fic. I'm very happy now."

Maybe its the annoying use of bolding and those little hearts, but that comment gives me the urge to smack her

WAIT! MORE HARDCORE WANK!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412142/board/nest/26604172

This is in the House, MD fandom. If you're not familiar with it, please let someone else know!

This is truly amazing wank -- someone called the police over an actor kissing an actress (who's under the age of consent). This person needed to post about it on IMDB, of course, and is replying with wanktastic fervor to all comments.
