Stuffs

[drakyndra]

There are two new sections up on the latest bad_penny thing - History of the HP BNF Inner Circle, to be precise.

Also, I was going to be working on my next links list (Because then my more recent recs will be easier for me to find for crack_van thing. Lucky I have about about the first weeks worked out, which gives me some more time). But I had that odd thing where I slept in quite late, but still got tired rather early, so I gave up shortly, and plan to read my book and then go to bed. Or lurk around b_p

I have also managed to gain a blood blister on my foot, and I have utterly no idea how. Which is odd.

In fannish stuff: If even hearing Freema Agyeman's name makes you nauseated, then you may want to leave fandom, for your own health if nothing else. Because she's going to be around for a while, yet.

Also, the US premiere of S2 is tonight. I look to the next few months of fandom with a mixture of fascination and sheer horror.

ETA: WHAT THE SHIT?

ETA2: Another Bad_Penny section up. This one contains references to boob flashing.

The who in the what in the where in the why? :( I love Freema. She seems so sweet...

God grief, they've never met the girl! That's just plain fucking unfair.

I seem full of rage today.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

It is quite possibly the stupidest bit of criticism I have ever seen.

Rage is deserved.

WTF indeed. David can do whatever David likes, and besides, Sophia Myles looks like a great lady. Jealous fen, bleh.

Looking forward to your links list, though. :-)

Jealousy, or shippers who get confused about the actor/character lines.

If I get around to it soon. *is lazy*

[xwingace]

The batshit on T_L is deleted. Yay mods.

It really seemed to be more about some sort of jealousy than confusing actor/character lines, at least in this case.

Lazy, ah yes, I know about being lazy...

She is a T&C member. But maybe I've spent too much time reading the newsround forums, filled with teeny girls hating on Sophia for breaking up the David/Billie TWU WUV.

Oh, for the love of humanity! Are we going to have a rerun of "But Ron and Linda MUST be in LURVE, look at how they are on the show? Oh, I hope they can be together!"... along with the psychotically batshit reaction to someone pointing out that 1) they're actors and 2) an affair wouldn't be that romantic for the current spouses and children each one had.

Now I'm all curious; what's the latest heartburn? The fact that Freema is solidly the new companion, that everyone seems to like her, or that she theoretically wants to snog David, as just about all straight women want to?

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Not Freema, Sophia. The precise quote: "but does anybody think he can do a bit better than Sophia Myles?"

[xwingace]

The batshit on T_L had nothing to do with Freema, funnily enough. It was all about Sophia Myles.

. . . every time I think DW fandom is hopelessly batshit, I look over at the Harry Potter fandom and suddenly I don't feel so bad . . .

Seriously, this bad_penny stuff should be an annotated reference guide or something.

I look over at the Harry Potter fandom and suddenly I don't feel so bad . . .

This somehow begs to be filked to "My Favorite Things:"
...and when I remember other batshit fans
I suddenly don't feel so bad!

Any time you really want to lose your faith in humanity, buy me a drink and ask me about Beauty and the Beast fandom. Seriously. We have yet to hit those kinds of levels of weapons-grade guano.

[kittenblah.livejournal.com]

They're Beauty and the Beast fandom?

And they wank?

Over what in the sweet jesus do they find to wank?!

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I'm talking about the Koslow TV show from the late 80s, not Disney. And the main actress left the show before the final season, which was rewritten to bring in someone else and focus on action instead of romance, so you can kind of fill in the blanks...

But seriously, it was FUGLY of a kind that I just haven't seen these days, mostly because it looks like people can spin off their own comms and snipe at each other. People being blacklisted from clubs ugly. People trying to make other fans bankrupt ugly. People refusing places to print stories ugly. Slander, attempts to get people fired, shutting down charities ugly.

Someone bitching me out in a panel at a con fifteen years later over a letter published in Starlog ugly.

And all over a guy wearing makeup and his fake girlfriend.

[kittenblah.livejournal.com]

fifteen years?

You officially win the intarwebz. I cannot imagine that level of crazy doing anything other than turning my head into actual physical mush.

[cryptile.livejournal.com]

. . . .

hokay, NEVER complaining about DW fandom until tomorrow ever again.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I swear, someone could print the bad_penny stuff (The MsScribe story, the plagiarism debacle, and this lot), and sell it. It'd make a fascinating read.

*imagines what HP fans in a decades time will think of it all*

[kittenblah.livejournal.com]

Heidi would call plagiarism and trying to make money off Cassie Claire's OMGPublishedAuthor status. And then the world would laugh.

I love that my only real ship in HP is Remus/Tonks, and even then I'll happily read them with others. Fen utterly make my day sometimes.

Except the RoseFen, I'm getting sick of bashing on Sophia/Freema cause they arent Billie/Rose. Do they not understand Doctor Who isnt a RomCom with aliens? It is not the h2g2 film, Richard Curtis is not writing it, and everyone prefers the Doctor to be the crazy loony alien, not in the least cause then Tennant will do that hot angry thing where he gets all scary but so so guh. (Holy run on sentance, Batman!)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

The world would laugh, and laugh hard. *is waiting for CC's book to get sporked and wanked over*

I'm generally a canon-shipper in HP, but I'll read anything that I've had recommended to me.

It's a stupid reason to criticise, anyway - and it's giving me deja vu of this time last year (with the Tennant bashing). If they had waited until she had been seen on screen, then I may have taken them more seriously, because then, at least, they can honestly say they like her less for a reason. But just because she isn't Rose or Billie? It makes them look stupid, and means that when Martha comes around, I am unlikely to take their criticisms seriously, because I can't trust it isn't Rose bias.

Yays hot angry Ten!

GAH! GAH! GAH!!!!!!!!!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

What Gah?

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

Fandom. In general. GAH!

Fandom is crazy.
