chaos_theory, posting in random_lounge @ 2:22pm: So, there's a possible hurricane headed my way (Hanna) and I have been trying to come up with the world's most perfect weather-related mixed CD, but I am stumped on awesome songs about or including weather and so I turn to you, because despite what my mother says, you are attractive, intelligent, and will absolutely not knock me up, steal my truck, and run off to Mexico with a hairdresser named Candi.

So, can you recommend any songs about or including weather, especially but not necessarily about inclement weather? Below is the list I have managed to come up with, but honestly I would rather walk out into the storm rather then listen to some of them.

It's raining, it's pouring, working full time is boring )
tree, posting in fandom_lounge @ 9:17am: 'Twilight' question
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!
sepiamagpie, posting in fandom_wank @ 12:28am: 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 ([info]hot_daily has put the madness in me. Also, go there. It's quality), puppies (unless you're puppyfree), and actually, mostly cute animals.

scifantasy, posting in fandom_lounge @ 2:01pm: NYU JournalFen Meetup
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!
sarajayechan, posting in fandom_wank @ 2:38am: FFRants strikes again
[info]nemesishamartia posts yet another rant about gay guys who act like stereotypical women in slashfic. "Words" are given, offense is taken, snark is had. But alas, in the end the commenters were merely guinea pigs in [info]nemesishamartia's social experiment:

"ETA2: Thank you all for participating in my women's studies experiment. A male classmate didn't quite grasp that the comments he made during class were insulting.

Your help was most appreciated. -- ;D Nems."

stinksap, posting in fandom_lounge @ 3:36pm: Help for a 'The Office' fan.
Because you are the experts on all things fannish.

A fellow is looking to get the exact same teapot seen in an episode of 'The office' for his girlfriend.
Pictures may be seen here; http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?t=6240

Have any of you 'The office' fans seen any discussion of this teapot in the fansites? Know where he can get one? Ebay has been fruitless apparently.

hypno_jango, posting in fandom_lounge @ 11:13pm: Someone leaked some images from the Dragon Ball movie trailer that is set to debut October 17th. James Marsters as Piccolo and that's sure to cause wank. But I'm too busy squeeing over Goku. The orange outfit is darling.

Edit: That site is down at the moment but I found another blog.

discokali, posting in fandom_lounge @ 2:17pm: 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?

jrs1980, posting in clairvoyantwank @ 2:53pm: I think there will be more activity when it's not a holiday.
Cracked.com has posted an article: Hollywood's Five Saddest Attempts at Feminism. River Tam of Firefly is #3.

They cite..._allecto_ in their argument, referring to her as a fan.

Whedonesque questions the journalistic integrity of Cracked.
brick_me, posting in fandom_lounge @ 9:51am: shipping in j-pop fandom
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).

sleepyjean, posting in fandom_wank @ 1:08pm: The return of Chancery Stone
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.

miraba, posting in fandom_lounge @ 7:13pm: DC metro area Twilight reading
For all the people who said they'd be able to make a Maryland/DC metro area Twilight reading, please respond here with dates you can make. If you can host, please mention that as well.

LJ have ditched boldthrough in favour of strikethrough again. Just over a year after the original switch...
grannyapple, posting in fandom_lounge @ 2:47pm: New York Twilight reading
Alcohol, snacks, and ridiculously bad fiction! This is the new place to discuss dates for the meet-up-I'm moving this to its own post so miraba doesn't have to keep getting comment notifications. So far it looks like a Sunday would work the best. I don't know how soon everyone would want to do this, but at least one person wouldn't be able to make it until Sep. 28, which is fine for me. If you've already responded in the previous comments section, you don't need to add anything here unless you have an issue with that date.

My roof deck's available for this-I live in Queens, one stop away from Grand Central. If somebody else wants to host, though, be my guest.

ETA: Not that anyone should need any extra incentive to publicly share in their love for a tale of epic and eternal love, but I will be providing paper and glitter pens (as well as whatever else we'll seem to need, but GLITTER PENS. For the love letters to Edward, obviously).
