Stuffs

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.

Yup, 15 years. It was the first Gulf War when I wrote in saying that that the body count overseas was more cosmically important than a TV romance, and she showed up at my panel on fan wars at Media*West front and center to bitch about "How could I WRITE such a horrible thing to a fan magazine? How could I INSULT fandom like that? That letter Made Her CRY!" (complete with capitalizations, of course, and a tamely nodding husband verifying that her heart had been broken.)

And yet I so oddly persist in thinking that much as I love it, TV is only TV, and if Starlog felt it was an inappropriate letter, then they wouldn't have published it. Silly me.

Fifteen freakin' years, and she was still trying to guilt-trip me about a letter to the editor. (She finally stormed off the panel when 1) I refused to repudiate what I'd said and 2) nobody else rose up in indignation to throw me out.)

Almost 17 years now and I can still quote chunks of said letter, so I may not be much better. But then, suffice it to say that I was not permitted to live down or forget such infamy for quite some time at the time, so things do get burned into the memory.

Some people.. just.. sweet jesus. I thought I'd seen nuts, but this takes things to another level.

I'd go with your view that hey, you have a point there, and the Peoples That Be wouldnt have published stuff they thought inappropriate. Some fen just really need a reality check. Possibly with a baseball bat round the head, y'know.

I mean, when you're crying over a letter about a fandom then hey, must be nice to have nothing better to worry about in your life, but please, step in to reality sometime, plzkthx. People so batshit.
