We begin our saga on the fair hills of ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} house_wilson, where the grass grows green and the House/Wilson shippers occasionally throw shit fits over whether or not David Shore is dicking around House/Wilson shippers.One day, this (relatively) peaceful comm is visited by ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} slow_mo_panda, who had arrived to bring to everyone her thoughts on The masses do not react well. (And euclase wins the "most over-the-top reaction to criticism" award for this week.)Having been thrown out by her ears, slow_mo_panda once again continued her travels, landing on the shores of fanficrants, where she hoped to be greeted with open arms and kind words telling her how everyone else is a bunch of mean bitches.Alas, she had no luck on that front, either. After a number of negative comments, she deleted that post and was banninated from fanficrants. And there was much rejoicing.Hearing the commotion, ffrantsrants and sf_drama arrived on the scene so that they could point and laugh.However, this is not the end of our story. slow_mo_panda, apparently having not learned her lesson yet, appeared once again, this time in ffrantsrants in order to talk about how oppressed she is. Or something.Caps courtesy of xayeidemon.ETA: Removed links to locked fanficrants content.ETA2: Apparently, our friend has left a review on ff.net on the original fic: ( cut for length ) | ||||||||

| Remember the 8yo in Arizona who was gang raped? Her parents have been arrested on Child abuse charges ( For the linkphobic ) It won't help the little girl get over what was done to her, but I can't help but feel just a tiny bit glad that this happened. | ||||||

| I watched Doctor Who: Waters of Mars! Behind the cut is my summary of the episode, my reactions to "next time on Doctor Who", and my random theory on what will happen next series, based only on having seen photos of Eleven and his companion. ( Cut cut cut cut cut! ) | ||||||

| I hope all of you know about Desert Bus for Hope. If you don't, it's a group of sorry bastards who play the most tedious game ever made (it was specifically designed to be tedious) to raise money for Penny Arcade's "Child's Play" charity. The live feed of the guys is hilarious and the live feed of the bus is delightfully mellow, and you can make special requests with your donation! (E.g. have the crew sing a particular song or put on a silly hat). The bus is rolling again, and as of the moment they started they were committed to drive that bus for 97 hours. That's from money raised before they started, over $10,000! Roll on you crazy fuckers. ETA: For those of you on Twitter, there is an effort to keep #desertbus up in the trending topics! Come on, let's beat out New Moon! | ||||||

X-posted from ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif){kind=small} sparklefield since this is pure multi-fandom awesomeness:The Simpsons's 2010 Hallowe'en special will feature a segment in which Lisa falls madly in love with a vampire boy named Edmund. Cast as the voice of Edmund? Daniel Radcliffe. ♥! | ||||||

| ( Cut for triggery WTFery ) That headline is ridiculous. The article is not much better. *quiet rage* ETA: Forgot the link, had to hunt through my browser history for it. Also, I'm still trying to figure out that line about "alleged abuse victims" -- what, the priests are convicted as pedophiles, but that doesn't mean the victims are telling the truth? | ||||||||

| Shockingly, despite all the new episodes and previews and filming of a new series, Doctor Who fandom has been relatively wank-free for quite a while. (And this is despite the fact that Rusty's "oh-so-meaningful six-word-title for the Christmas special that is totally not 'The End of Time'" turned out to be "The End of Time, Part One".) Stupid agreeable fandom. Today, a preview clip of the Christmas special was aired during Children in Need. (Which can be viewed here, for those who missed it.) In a throwaway joke, it was implied that... ( Slight spoilers under the cut (for preview only) ) Oh, apparently there was Barrowman in pants, as well. I missed that bit. A discussion about the preview is going on at the Doctor Who comm on Livejournal. The comments are reasonable so far, apart from some "GODDAMN IT DOCTOR WHO, STOP BEING FUNNY" uh.. ness. But I Me, I'll just be over here laughing forever. (So as to avoid thinking about what's to come at Christmas. D:) | ||||||||

| Citing the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to civil disobedience, 145 evangelical, Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian leaders have signed a declaration saying they will not cooperate with laws that they say could be used to compel their institutions to participate in abortions, or to bless or in any way recognize same-sex couples.

| Here's some Project Runway plagiarism wank to go with the lovely vanity pub and author wank. I hope it goes without saying that there might be a spoiler or two for the finale, but I'll say it anyway: There are spoilers for the finale in this post. Project Runway "villain" and finalist Irina had a shirt in her final Bryant Park collection that has all the reasons she loves New York written on it. Oh, wait. Those aren't the reasons she loves New York, those are the reasons that someone who wrote a famous New York Magazine article loves New York. And this is the same girl who was going to feature And then ( spoileriffic things happen! And so does wank. ) | ||||||||

Hang on to your hats, kids, this one's a doozy in several parts. To start off, you might want to catch up on ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} agilebrit's clairvoyantwank writeup. Clairvoyant indeed! To sum up, romance publisher Harlequin Enterprises teamed up with a publisher called ASI solutions to form Harlequin Horizons, a vanity press. Romance Writers of America promptly revoked Harlequin's "recognized publisher" status.And now for a wank in several parts, involving a goodly number of awesome people in addition to a wanking Cast of Thousands (tm): ( Part 1: PubRants ) ( Part deux: various forums ) ( Part Three: SBTB, and Nora Fucking Roberts ) ( Part the last: The NEW YORKER?! ) And finally, THIS JUST IN from PubRants. Watch that post for further And here come the ETAS! #1: SFWA tweets a heads-up, and the glorious katamari of wank rolls on! #2: Coutesy of magnolia_mama, Lee Goldberg drops his two cents from the MWA soapbox. In a shocking turn of events, he seems to be making a cogent, reasonable argument. My world is rocked.#3: annathepiper links us to SFWA's statement, which is possibly the strongest yet! For a snippet:...Further, SFWA believes that work published with Harlequin Horizons may injure writing careers by associating authors’ names with small sales levels reflected by the imprint’s lack of distribution, as well as its emphasis upon income received from writers and not readers....Until such time as Harlequin changes course, and returns to a model of legitimately working with authors instead of charging authors for publishing services, SFWA has no choice but to be absolutely clear that NO titles from ANY Harlequin imprint will be counted as qualifying for membership in SFWA. Further, Harlequin should be on notice that while the rules of our annual Nebula Award do not expressly prohibit self-published titles from winning, it is highly unlikely that our membership would ever nominate or vote for a work that was published in this manner....SFWA does not believe that changing the name of the imprint, or in some other way attempting to disguise the relationship to Harlequin, changes the intention, and calls on Harlequin to do the right thing by immediately discontinuing this imprint and returning to doing business as an advance and royalty paying publisher. Count on the pew-pew lasers genre to bring the burn! #4: Found by pariforma, someone named Jackie Kessler has an excellent (and amusing) summary of the whole mess on their blog. The pricing breakdown (with reference links to the Harlequin price-sheets themselves) is particularly well-done.#5, which should be like #3 but I missed it the first time: via lady_ganesh, Mr. Scalzi has spoken. Does anyone else smell something...burning?( Too Hot (and big) For Your Flist ) Mmm, PR barbecue. As a bonus, there's a lovely herd of teal deer in the comments, including some truly lovely wanking by one Diana Peterfreund and a few others. Scroll on through, it's a good time. Blooper reel: We, uh, may have played a part in crashing SBTB for a while there. please don't kill meeeee #6: Zoe Winters continues her wanking in the comments of an article at the Examiner. Thanks dreamworld! | ||||||||

| Well, I now have a job lined up and a roommate moving in starting tonight. I also have three papers due next week. I'm a little bit stressed, and I'm not sure how to calm down. Besides cleaning and exercising that is. Deep breaths, self, deep breaths! I also picked up Nano this year! Did anyone else? I'm like, four days behind D: For a while I just couldn't concentrate on anything, and I barely wrote. This cold weather just makes me want to curl up in bed and do nothing. Bah! Anyway, could be so much worse. Dark Forces is keeping me sane. How are you folks? | ||||
