Planning a Twilight Trailer Parody Sorry for those who are sick of Twilight, I don't mean to pester you! Anyway, after seeing this hilarious parody, and because I need content for my animation portfolio this upcoming semester, I was planning a similar parody of the Twilight trailer, but I need help. I've got a script penned out, but I need some Buffy fans to take a look at it and tell me Buffy is in character or not. I haven't watched it for a while. Also, the Buffy I've written is more season 1-3 Buffy than the later one. I'm also looking for voice actors, particularily for Giles and James, but if you've got a good Buffy or Edward voice I'd love to hear it. Just post a comment and I'll give you my e-mail. ETA: Here's a 360 view of Buffy, working on Edward now. |

Delta Airlines : Treating Disabled People Like Garbage Delta makes woman with muscular dystrophy crawl off planeOn July 20th, Julianna's (delayed) Delta flight landed in Atlanta at 7:30pm, with a connecting flight scheduled for 8:05pm. Julianna, who has muscular dystrophy, missed the connecting flight because nobody came with a wheelchair until 8:05—the same time the connecting flight took off. To make matters worse, the plane crew told Julianna she might make the flight anyway if she stopped waiting for help and got off the plane right now, so she crawled down the stairs on her own. When the wheelchair came she was "wheeled into a back room and advised" that her plane had taken off. But that was just the first half of her ordeal, and the next eight hours only got worse. ( but wait, there's more! ) |

Bad Review Tempertantrums -- Not Just for Amateurs Anymore Over on Dear Author, Jane posts about an author overreacting to bad Amazon.com reviewsThe author's fans are quick to point out that Jane is just jealous, a meanie, has no life, etc. And the author herself responds. The comments have been deleted, but breecita saved them ( Pro making ass of herself under the cut )Whiny pros! Whinier fans! Passive-aggressive smilies! All we need is a flounce, a sobbing vow to Never Write Again, and/or a pseudocide. ETA: Thanks to carlanime, a prequel of sorts. ETA2: Crap, wrong link, wrong potential post. If anyone wants to write up about possibly fraudelent conniving, lying, soul-bonding-is-my-religion! roommates from hell, drop a line. |

All those old familiar wankers~ blackjackrocket makes a rather mundane post in the pokemon community to find out if jesusatemeout still wants to do an earlier agreed upon Pokemon trade. jesusatemeout says she does, and they proceed to began the joyous dance of trading! Sadly, this does not go smoothly. A span of time passes with no reply, and BJR starts getting testy. "...ok, I've been waiting for TWENTY TWO MINUTES now, stalling out on that INVITE/DISCONNECT screen. Where the HELL are you?" "Yeah, half an hour. Tell me when you're *actually ready* instead of making me wait around with that insipid music going on." jesusatemeout replies about twenty minutes later: "You could like. Not be mean. Right when I got to the Pokecenter, my internet went out. It's still intermittent. I was fucking tearing my hair out and worrying you'd freak out, and you totally did. I don't intend to keep your Lugia, I'm very happy you let me get the info with a tradeback, and please just calm down and stop accusing me of shit when it is entirely out of my control.
In fact, if someone completely disappears, I think it's safe to assume that their internet went out or something more important happened. Next time just be patient- I will get back to you when I can."In most cases, things would smooth themselves out from here and people would go on about their lives. But really, would I be posting here if it had? Of course not. Aside from the always amusing cluelessness of BJR, we also feature penguinsane letting her know she's banned from the pokewifi community in spite of this whole shebang not taking place there. |

The Battle of Versailles Small wank but some of us need a break from Twilight wank, y/n? So what happens when an obscure American musician finds out that a Japanese indie band that just might be less obscure has the same name as the one you've already picked. Well if the name is Versailles you copyright the name and threaten legal action against the Japanese band for stealing the name from you. Because you know there's no way that they could have been inspired by the French city the name comes from being as they are a visual kei band that uses the glory days of French aristocratic society as their band's theme. Needless to say the wank is easy to find from both sides in the US Versailles myspace page. And wank from JP Versailles can be found a few places like the Last.fm shoutbox for JP Versailles and the Jrock Revolution Versailles board that has their announcement that they will be changing their name so they can continue performing in the U.S. |

Freaks and Geeks fanfiction Can anyone point me in the direction of decent Freaks and Geeks fanfiction? I was so desperate I looked at the Pit, but nothing there seemed clickable. I'm desperate - I need more. |

A poll! A poll! Or rather, "Help Bree & Donna Name a Book and pick the sexual orientation of the bartender who refuses to tend bar in the dark." So. Part the First. All of the Last Call books are named after drinks. (Kamikaze, Hurricane & Tequila Sunrise at the moment.) We ended up doing a Christmas themed short and now I need to think of a name for it. A mixed drink that screams Christmas...and is possibly sexier than Spiced Eggnog. LOL So if you have ideas, tell me so I can make a poll on my website! The other poll is just for y'all. Poll #402 Hey Mr. Bartender!
Open to: All, results viewable to: AllThe Bartender Who Refuses To Tend Bar In The Dark Gets His Wild Thing On With... |

Twilight read-alouds As suggested here, some people have interested in Twilight/BD gatherings involving mocking and the consumption of alcohol. In the interest of gathering more replies (the comment is all the way on page 4), I decided to post here. Right now there are people in Tel Aviv, somewhere around London, somewhere in North Carolina, and the Washington DC metro area. If you're interested, please reply so that we can actually have an evening (or two) of drunken sparkling vampires. ETA: Now with Toronto! Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina Washington DC/Maryland San Francisco, CA San Diego San Antonio, Texas NY, NY Chicago Flexible, Ohio Kansas City Baton Rouge Honolulu Toronto, Canada Halifax, Canada Ottowa, Canada Edmonton, Canada London, England or thereabouts Glasgow, Scotland Cologne, Germany Tel Aviv Skype |

New JF Comm 'Lo fellow JFers. I noticed that while alot of us have RPG related interests there is no general RPG comm on JF. So I just created rp_wtf for all of your general RPG needs. Post ads, searches, rants, advice requests, and snarking there. It only needs to be RP related. |

Except the first image that came up was this: http://www.123rf.com/photo_666491.htmlFISHIE? CARE TO EXPLAIN? I AM SUSPICIOUS. THAT DOES NOT SCREAM "TROPHY" AS A KEYWORD TO ME. |

Non-Twilight SMeyer book So I was out buying textbooks earlier, and I happened to see a display of these on one of the shelves. Does anybody know anything about it? Does it suffer from the same problems Twilight does? Current Mood: curious |

So uh.........? I'm really curious if this has happened to anyone else as I am completely baffled. So I left my LJ friends list up, ran out to complete some errands, and refreshed it when I came back home. It was a tad wonky looking. If you notice it says I'm logged out. Well instead of logging in there I just went to the main livejournal page, where sure enough I was logged out, and logged back in. The site then went to www.livejournal.com and displayed a blank white page with an icon in the upper left corner. I refreshed again and it continued on to the main site. Anyone else? Just me? Should I uh, be worried? ETA: And now it's apparantly "logging" people into others journals. Happened to me but trying to post takes me to my own account so at least it's not a true login? ETA2: An explanation. |
