Subject:Han Solo was a furry?!?!
Posted by:j_crew_guy.
Time:9:24 am.
Han Solo originally had a Wookiee wife.

Screenwriter Lenny Ripps (Star Wars Holiday Special):

What was interesting to me was that Lucas started talking about Star Wars as if it was a real world. He said things like "Well, you know Han Solo is married to a Wookiee. but we can't say that." Now that was 20 years ago [in 1998], so my memory may be wrong.

According to starwars.com's Ross Plesset, however, his memory is surprisingly good:
As outrageous as Ripps's recollection sounds, there is evidence supporting it. Pat Proft corroborates it and an early draft of the Star Wars script (January 28, 1975) has Han Solo living with a furry female creature who he kisses. Proft also remembers learning that Han was raised by Wookiees, which is verified on pages 46 & 131 of Laurent Bouzereau's Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays.

I have a friend who is quite new to fandom and like me, is a total masochist. This is where you guys come in. I need some badfic. Horrible, yet hilarious Mary-Sues, inaccurate and terrifying sex scenes or just plain crazy pairings. EVERYTHING IS WELCOME.

Especially the Care Bear fic where one of them contracts HIV and another bear says, "Jesus-Bear is punishing us." I will give my first born to whoever finds that.

LJ links preferably, since we're both intending to save every link to our memories to pull out on a rainy day, but if there's none, then we'll make do.

Posted by:also_not_a_pipe.
Time:12:13 am.
Mood:*sporfle!*.
I was listening to NPR on the way home from work today, and "Marketplace" of all things had a story about Twilight.

Specifically about how Twilight is, shockingly enough, causing a huge boom in the teen markets.

Nothing really new here, but I found it really funny to listen to the Marketplace reporters talk about Twilight like it's actually something important and novel.

The Twilight movie's reviews are starting to come in, and they look kinda like you'd expect.

Artistically-spelled comments on negative reviews are starting already.


(Also, I'm seeing mention of a Southpark ep that mocks Twilight? there's a South Park ep, Ungroundable, devoted to mocking the epidemic of wanna-be vampire kids.)

Subject:S2 Layout Issues
Time:4:46 pm.
Hi, Guys. I know a good many of the S2 themes are kinda hosed right now. Something changed with the LJ migration to their new data center. The Bloggish and Style Contest themes have their CSS hosted at LJ. That's by LJ's design, with how the code is distributed. The code is set to use LJ's CSS proxy to handle the access and display of the CSS settings. Since LJ's move, though, the CSS proxy has been kaput. But the CSS itself at LJ is still working. Until we can find a way around all this, a couple users have a way that you can use the Custom CSS in your customization area to get your layouts pretty damn close to the original for that layout and theme.

You'll enter two sets of code in that area. The first one would be the code from this URL:
http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/common/base-weblog.css

Just go there, copy it, and paste into the custom CSS box.

And the second set you enter will be from the direct CSS URL for your specific theme. You can locate this URL by viewing the source of your journal in your browser (View Source code). If you scroll down to the <link rel="stylesheet" section of the source code, you'll see the direct url to your theme's CSS at livejournal. Go there, copy that code, and paste it after the base-weblog.css code above. Make sure you have "No" selected to use the included base code (it's a dropdown), and that the URL field above the custom CSS box is empty. Click to save changes, and your theme will display much as it is supposed to. There is occasionally an element like a border that doesn't come through, but it's pretty close. As an example of the CSS URLs, this is the one for the Baby theme for the Bloggish layout: http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/lilia/theme-baby.css The CSS URLS will be start with http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml with the rest varying by theme and layout. I'll still be looking for an alternative to having to futz with custom CSS, but in the meantime, that method of applying the CSS will get your Bloggish and Style Contest journal themes put back together pretty well. Thanks, Robin

Subject:Fandom Next of Kin
Posted by:anarchicq.
Time:12:31 pm.
So, OTW has a new policy, which when I first read about it, it sounded pretty damn cool.

B. Fannish next-of-kin

Registered archive users may designate a fannish next-of-kin. A next-of-kin agreement allows the transfer of content maintenance in the case of a user's permanent incapacitation or death.

Both parties to the agreement must be registered users of the Archive.

The Archive's role in this agreement is only to act as a facilitator. If the person designated as the fannish next-of-kin activates the agreement by sending a message to the Archive, the Archive will not do any independent investigation to confirm the necessity for the transfer.

A fannish next-of-kin agreement is confidential and accessible only by designated members of the archive team, who may only use it for purposes of implementing the agreement.

And then you get down to the FAQ...

12. What if my fannish next-of-kin decides s/he's tired of being my fannish next-of-kin?

13. What if I decide I don't like my fannish next-of-kin agreement?

14. What if my fannish next-of-kin does something I wouldn't like?

These are all perfectly valid questions...but could you IMAGINE IT?

Time:11:15 am.
Actually, now that I've given it a bit of thought, I have to say it might be a little unfair of me to compare this to the book since it's well-written, intentionally funny and displays a clear lack of taking itself seriously. Then again, tripping over the cat and bruising my ribcage on the edge of a bookcase was also better than what I've read of Twilight, so make of that what you will.

Thomas Kinkade's 16 Guidelines for Making Stuff Suck

There are a lot of amusing things about this piece, which describes the guidelines that "Painter of Light" (TM) Thomas Kinkade laid out for the makers of his direct-to-video film The Christmas Cottage. ("Create an overall sense of soft edges, strive for a 'Barry Lyndon' look." Or, "Hidden details whenever possible, References to my children (from youngest to oldest as follows): Evie, Winsor, Chandler and Merritt. References to my anniversary date, the number 52, the number 82, and the number 5282 (for fun, notice how many times this appears in my major published works).") You can also boggle over the fact that somehow they got Peter goddamn O'Toole to work on this thing.

Of relevance to Fandom On the Internets, however, is the fact that this thing stars Jared Padalecki. One wonders what, if anything, the SPN fans make of it.

"We have to love the person in the New York Times who says mean things about our book. We have to love him. We have to have an attitude of love and not one of competitiveness, or vengeance, or anger, or spite." -- Anne Rice, speaking of her return to Catholicism (From her interview on Interfaith Voices).

Apparently, you're free game as long as you're not in the NYT! Oh, it's good to know that even though the hot new kids like Twilight have sought to dazzle us, the oldies-but-goodies are still kicking.

Well, I did like the movie. It was a good movie. The book was way better, without a doubt better.

Well, I'm afraid already.

And [info]ilya brings us a clip of SPARKLE MOTION.

ETA n+1: Thanks to everyone for making my inbox explode for linking to reviews, especially [info]mariem_1, who is a review finding machine. RT's at 43%.

ETA n+2: I'll update links one last time on Friday, then collapse in a post-Twilight heap. Someone send my inbox some first aid? (Dear Gmail, I love you)

ETA the last: If anyone else wants to compile the monumental amounts of wank in the reviews' comments (there's some good stuff at RT), please do.

So, any bets on when the wank level reaches 9000 and f_w will have to step in? (My moneys on Friday morning)

hey anyone know what's up with the skyehawke fic archives? i was in the middle of reading when POOF the site's down and the lj community doesn't have any news about it.


i mean, maybe it's just a matter of not updating an expired credit card for billing purposes, and it'll get fixed in about eight to twelve hours, but dang it's irritating as hell when you're in the middle of a novel (and one that's actually pretty well written, too! i think. maybe my memory is giving me rose-colored glasses) and can't continue because the only place you can find it is on the one site that's currently down.

Subject:Gay is Bashing!
Posted by:seca.
Time:2:48 pm.
Bit small compared to the past couple of wanks but full of fangirl rage and lulz.

Some information to better understand the wank. In Japan there is an agency called Johnny's that is the major male idol agency in the country. Most of the most popular boy bands are signed with them, one of these groups is called NEWS.

A few days ago a German NEWS fan [info]chyco_chan decided to share scans from a German J-Pop magazine, that is notorious for poor research and nabbing whatever pictures they can find on the net for their magazine, as this time they snagged two pictures of NEWS/Kanjani8 member Ryo Nishikido for an article about gay life in Japan.

In the words of [info]chyco_chan:

BUT why??? Ryo = gay??? XDDDD
That's bashing XD (not even by us sou~ XD)

She then tries to get people to contact Johnny's about the magazine to tell them about it in the comments as she's afraid of being blamed if the magazine goes out of business.

And then cue the fangirl rage and lols at the article in the seven pages of comments this post has spawned.

There is someone that questions the 'calling someone gay=bashing' of the OP but then goes on about homoerotic the pictures are, despite them being, y'know solo shots.

And we have some minor capslocking of rage against other fangirls by bugattack.

Plus rage against the magazine as this would 'hurt' Ryo if he ever saw it from yamapilovergyal.

And many, many 'Poor Ryo' and 'Johnny's should sue' than it's worth counting.

Time:1:00 pm.
In the first Perfect Dark novel (there are two) the Big Geek of the Carrinton Institute goes off on a tangent of how a female actor landed the role of Doctor Who in 2016. 

The internets must have explodiated.

Which makes it all the more delish, re: Doctor Who period, is that in the Perfect Dark continuity, evil companies have underhandedly taken over the entire Earth by 2016.

So either Doctor Who is horrible propoganda or actually the voice of revolt.

Fictionally.

Entertainment Weekly, the magazine that's been up Twilight's ass for the past several months posted a wanky complaint about the movie "Bolt" which basically reads as OMG I AM SO SICK OF "BOLT" YOU GUIZE. FUCK ABC FOR SHOVING THIS SHIT DOWN OUR THROATS. WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE AMIRITE!?

Commenters respond along the lines of SHUT UP, EW, YOU'RE ONE TO TALK WHAT WITH YOUR TWILIGHT OBSESSION. WE'RE SICK OF THAT SHIT, YO.

Doubtful that it'll grow. I can't imagine EW responding to the comments.

ETA and sort of unrelated: Okay, I'm mildly fond of my mom and I appreciate that she passed on her love of reading but ... she reads crap. She thinks Eragon is awesome, big Iris Johansen fan, thought The Host was good, etc. You get the idea.

I'm ... a bad person and I'm thinking of setting her up with Twilight. Just to see what would happen. She likes sucky books and she doesn't have a romantic bone in her body, and really she's sort of a passive/aggressive asshole and I want to see what Twilight will do to my mom, okay? For science. I want to see if she'll throw it at my head or if she'll become a Twimom. Am I a bad person?

Subject:You have greatly overestimated my writing prowess.
Posted by:rennyn_alerothi.
Time:7:08 pm.
(If this doesn't belong here, I'll move it.)

Dear Friend/Fellow Fanfiction-writer,

Listen. I know you like my works of fanfiction. I know I should be flattered that you consider me to be "well-read, with an encyclopedia for a brain."

That said - no, I will not research or write your fic for you. There are two excellent tools I would like to refer you to in this case; Google and Wikipedia. They are your friends. They have served me quite well in the past, and I am certain that they can also be of great help to you as well.

No, arguments of "BUT UR SO WELL-READ AND SMRT!" won't float here. See, I do not have one thing that you really need in this case, which is a working knowledge of the French Language. No matter how SMRT you think I am, I have not yet had the opportunity to learn French, and I doubt I shall do so just to help you write your fanfiction. I'd like to for my own personal edification, but I'll get around to it in my own time, thank you very much. SMRT =/= polyglot. Sorry.

Another point that I would like to make is that a lot of the knowledge that you consider to be so encyclopedia-like in nature has come from researching my own fanfic. There were times when I needed to know just what phosphorus ammunition rounds do to the human body (it isn't pretty) or what the major constellations were called in ancient Mesopotamia. Again, I'd like to refer you to Wikipedia and Google. It's where I learned all this stuff.

I'm not trying to be a douche. This isn't information that I'm "withholding from you just to be mean." I really don't know French. I also think you're mistaking actual work, time, and effort for actual intelligence. Trust me, I could really use an upgrade in that respect.

SO, FL, I have recently suffered through an external hard-drive crash. (If anyone knows how to fix a hard-drive that the computer doesn't even knows exist, I am accepting suggestions D:) I lost around 200gb of data, including over 3,000 music files belonging to me, my sister and my mother. (And other random tracks that I still have no clue to their origins... like the SpongeBob Squarepants soundtrack?!) I have been left with the tracks that my partially filled 2gb MP3 player has. This is a sorry state to be in, guys.

What I would like are some suggestions, so I can broaden my music selection, as I don't really listen to the radio or music channels etc. it's sometimes hard to come across new things.

You can suggest anything from classical to heavy metal, from any where around the world, old and new.

Suggest your favourite singles, albums, soundtracks, groups, artists etc. Anything you are a fan of. If you have a link to youtube or something else, that will also be great. But I can search for myself if not.

Thanks in advance!
