Also, only marginally relatedly, but if I started shipping Jensen Ackles and Billie Piper with whatshisname, the guy who was in ER and Revenge of the Nerds and Top Gun -- Anthony Edwards? -- would I be able to get away with calling their ship Duck/Duck/Goose? Because that would be keen.

I keep starting and dropping the books in a struggle between my curiosity boosted by all the posts in f_w and (lack of) tolerance for books focusing on high school romance, and a description of vampires I came across a few times sounds like a strange joke, so I thought I'd check its veracity here.

The vampires' eyes are a deep crimson when they feed on humans, but golden if their diet is animal-based. Now, maybe cannibalism of sorts does make differently sourced blood do different things, but I keep having visits from Logic with the following riddle:

red eyes : consumed blood = golden eyes : ???

D:

Please, writers, think things through!

Hello, wankahs! It is the most holy of days, my birthday.

There were a lot of ideas about how to celebrate it. The most prominent and the only one I can currently remember was to let Snacky out on all of you because she is full of a deep, dark anger welling up from pools within that I cannot even begin to comprehend. Well, mostly she was pissed off at all the genital-based insults being lobbed at someone for being a bad writer. But about other stuff, too!

Then I realized that would just end in tears. Except for Snacky, who would probably be on top of her mountain cackling while lightning struck in the background.

Being a peaceful toy dork, I decided on something that will make me happy. And hopefully The World, too!


No banning, no pranks, nothing elaborate.

I wants picspam.

Kittens, hot people (hot_daily has put the madness in me. Also, go there. It's quality), puppies (unless you're puppyfree), and actually, mostly cute animals.

During the discussion of the New York Twilight reading and Twilight Drunken Shenanigans, a lot of NYU pride started flying around.

So how about a meetup?

Based on location and time, I suggest this: a showing of an anime movie called The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, next Saturday and Sunday at the IFC Center Theater (6th Ave/3rd Street, a few blocks from Washington Square Park).

I've had at least one nibble of interest, but I wanted to throw the doors wide: are NYU-area JFers (or those from areas nearby) interested? If so, which works better, Saturday or Sunday? Anybody completely opposed to an anime showing? &c.

Sound off!

So, due to a conversation in fanficrants about the unnecessary woobification of psychotic pretty boys the idea for sickficfest was born. The idea being to write bad people doing very bad things.

So I come to you gentle readers for advice on promoting pan-fandom fic communities. Does anyone know of advertising communities, or general interest communities (besides this one) where a person could go to pimp their community?

Anonymous Will Protest at Katie Holmes' Broadway Debut

While I do feel bad that the other cast members of All My Sons will have to deal with this, I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out. (I'm also curious if they'll also protest A Tale of Two Cities, which stars James Barbour, who is supposedly also a Scientologist.)

ETA for kicks: This person apparently stands outside the TKTS (discount tickets) booth in Times Square fairly regularly. A+ message.

User: fandom_lounge (posted by brick_me) Date: 2008-09-01 09:51 Subject: shipping in j-pop fandom Security: Public

I've never been in an Asian real people fandom, and I'm curious how it deals with real-people shipping. I know of k-pop slash, but that was at least five years ago, and in all the SuJu wank I've read, shipping never seemed to get mentioned. I also know people ship j-rock stars, but is it different with things like Arashi and Kat-tun (or whatever they're called)? Does it happen, just only in locked communities and flocked posts? If I squee over j-pop stars touching in general fan communities, would I seem like a n00b who can't follow the unwritten rules?

I'm particularly interested in j-pop fandom's attitude towards femslash shipping, which I've never heard of happening anywhere. Because I think I've fallen in love with Perfume (warning: this song will play in your head for the rest of the day).

While visiting Amazon today I noticed a link in their romance forum for a romance between brothers. Because I always have to crane my neck to stare at a trainwreck, I clicked on the link.

And found Chancery Stone!

...who recs DANNY without disclosing that she's the author and then gets into arguments with posters who don't consider incest overly romantic. Just like always, Stone can't stop posting.

And don't miss the name of her new site--www.danny-is-god.com.

Mild wank, but it's nice to get a blast from the past.

ETA:

Original wank

Well-earned parody of wank

Flouncety flounce flounce

Further ETA: Amazon has deleted many of her more fervent posts.

Son of wank, featuring commentary by the awesome Nora Roberts, who smacks Stone down as wonderfully as you'd imagine--especially when Stone posts a link to her blog and tells them they're getting their 15 minutes of fame.

ETA the third: All Chancery Stone threads have been deleted by Amazon, and she's been banned from posting on its forums.
