On another break from Folio

[drakyndra]

Folio is pretty much done. Just need to check for typos on the last piece, and it'll be finished.

And in entertainment news scifi_hate might actually start to get interesting. The third page contains some Doctor Who related comments. *watches avidly*

Comments

[livii.livejournal.com]

Congrats on finishing!

The comments are still too quiet. Boring! What's the good of a hate meme if it doesn't get into really juicy gossip?

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

They're quiet, but there is some slight nasty there. And names are mentioned, which is a sure-fire to cause arguments. Since I started watching there have been at least three more comments added, one of which was quite bitchy. *hopes for more*

[svilleficrecs.livejournal.com]

"Christopher Ecclestone was the best Doctor Who ever, but I would let David Tennant do me any way he wanted. That's why the second series is better than the first one."

Wisdom from the anonymous masses.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I would agree with that. Except the "best Doctor Who ever" - he was good, but I wouldn't say he was the best ever.

The rest is accurate, mind.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

Except if fandom as a whole doesn't learn to spell Eccleston sometime soon, I WILL KILL EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.




...just saying. ;)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Heh. I didn't notice that misspelling until you pointed it out. *facepalm*

Fandom really needs a spell checker.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

And the ability to read BIG GIANT NAMES THAT COME SWOOSHING AT YOU DURING THE CREDIT SEQUENCE AND ARE KINDA HARD TO MISS.

I have my pet peeves. Can you blame me? ;)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

No, not particularly. We all have hot buttons, and that is yours.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

*snickers over your icon*

I have even hotter buttons than that, I must admit. ...which sounds very wrong, doesn't it. *cough*

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Yes, it really does. I think I'll keep away from your...buttons.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

It's a great, big, threatening button which should never ever ever be pressed under any circumstances!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

You just want Ten to press it, don't you?

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

ohplease.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Don't we all? *goes back to hatememe, for it has new comments to read*

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't be enjoying that meme, should I? *looks too*

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

It's so wrong, but I can't help myself...

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

I never want to get into bashing individuals, but there's more than enough to gripe about in any fandom, and sometimes, one must snark. ;)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Individuals, no. Groups, hell yes! Though I'm mostly just stiking with reading.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

Exactly. The sad thing is that I want more comments to read, but promoting the meme just seems tacky. *laugh*

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Well, I regularly direct people to things for the point and laugh value. But I seem to have a flist that is, you know, not the kind who is offended by that sort of thing.

Ah, a flist with a sense of humour and perspective. Bliss.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

Humor and perspective: two things that every fandom needs in much, much greater measure than it ever actually has.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

So very, very true.

[livii.livejournal.com]

I came this close to replying anonymously to that comment saying that if you can't even spell his effing name right, you don't get to claim him as the best.

...this close.

I feel your pain.

[livii.livejournal.com]

And haha, I see someone else did it! I won't ask who, but. ;)

(Swear it wasn't me! I made a different, bitchy, anonymous comment, heh!)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I was about to ask if that was you.

Was yours the Rose-hate related one at the bottom?

[livii.livejournal.com]

Nope. Mine was...somewhere in the middle. Possibly related to people posting chapters all the fuck over my flist. Or something. I was never here!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Ah, one of those. I can see why that'd piss people off. Cross-posting = the Devil.

Was never here, either.

[livii.livejournal.com]

Cross-posting is good. UNLESS YOU POST TWO CHAPTERS A DAY, EVERY DAY, OMG, AND PUT IT ON LIKE FIVE BILLION COMMUNITIES.

Really, don't look behind the curtain!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Especially when they don't put things behind cuts. IT'S GODDAMN HUGE, CUT IT PLEASE!

I know nothing!

[melata-fic.livejournal.com]

Yes.

It is annoying.

*grumbles like a persnickety old person*

[svilleficrecs.livejournal.com]

I think the blinding truth of "I'd let David Tennant do me anyway he wanted" outshines any quibbling about any other clause in the sentence.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

True, true. Very good point there.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

And aside from my gripe above, I'm with you on that one.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I miss all the fun because of bloody work. Was there anything juicy at all?

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

It's just starting to get good on page three. Very slowly, mind.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

I couldn't refrain from commenting on scifi_hate, too. (Not anonymous, though.)

To be honest, I am even surprised that there is no DW-fandom-related mudslinging around so far. What's up with fandom? There's now plenty of opportunity for wanking, and suddenly nobody's keen on it anymore.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I must go and have another look.

And I don't think quite that many are aware of the meme. Yet. Once it becomes a little more well known, things might get more nasty.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

ooh... this will end in flames, I can feel it. *keeps watching*

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Why do you think I'm watching?

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

There're some things that just had to be said there. I wonder if someone should tell the hardcore shippers about this place...

oh and sorry for spamming your journal, will stop now

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I think if some of the hardcore shippers found that meme, I'd die laughing. It'd be brilliant.

And spamming is okay.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

If you say it's all right... *sings* someone should tell them, someone should mention it... *looks innocently in your general direction*

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's on my LJ, open for all to see. I'm not bringing it up at any comms, but anyone who has me on their flist will see it. And then it may spread.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

*reads avidly*

I am patiently awaiting flamey entertainment, yes.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Ah, aren't we all?
