Wanted: One New Name

[drakyndra]

It has come to my attention (via altheas's rather disturbing co-worker, and some truly appalling Sue-fics) that as of late, the name "Melissa" has been used in a lot of disturbing and unnatural ways. As a barer of this name, I am shocked and appalled.

So, in order to escape these horrific connotations, I have decided that I shall now renounce the name Melissa, and take on an entirely new name.

Sadly, I have no suitable back-up.

So, I put this out to you, my noble flist: Find me a new name.

I am open to all suggestions, though I would quite like it if you can supply a good reason why said suggestions are suitable for me to take as my new name.

The winner will be rewarded with...something. I am sure it will be glorious and magnificent.

So, go, my flist, and find me a name!

I had a quick look there once, but I got dragged away before I could actually see any. =( "No, Bec, no! Lecture in ten minutes, no time!"

Awesome library, though. *loves that library*

No, I didn't! I very rarely go to OG, but I'm thinking I might have to because I seem to miss a lot of stuff that comes from there...you don't happen to have a link to that, do you? I'm asking the Queen of Links whether she has a link to something...your reputation is at stake, here!

Heehee. Stake. Buffy. Vampires.

Oh, God, I need sleep.

I rarely actually borrow stuff from there personally, but some of my many and varied clubs would borrow out videos for meetings. And they do have a rather good selection, because you can make requests, and they'll go buy a lot of it.

The OG is extremely...insane, generally, and wankier than an extremely wanky wanky thing. But you do get a few good discussions here and there.

And the link can be found here. (Oh, look, the OG has changed their layout. I don't like it)

And how can you need sleep, it's only about 9.30?

You can make requests :O I had no idea! Wow, the possibilities are endless...

Well, nearly, anyway.

Yeah, I got the impression that OG was an unbelievably wanky place, lol. But the DW fandom in general (actually, all fandoms in general) is extremely wanky, and trying to smush old Who and new Who fans into one big happy family at OG was always going to be a recipe for trouble.

But from a viewpoint...very amusing :D

Oooh, yay! Thank you!

Erm...I have a feeling I was hung-over that day, so going to sleep early was necessary for making the bad go away :(

I don't know how many of the requests they take up, and they are currently closed for the summer, (Until the start of February, le sigh) but they are</> open to requests.

Even as fandoms go, DW is extraordinarily wanky. This might be because it is so old, because it has such a huge amount of canon to work from (even for TV purists, who don't count the books and all that), and because it is so widely varied when compared to most fandoms. More things to debate and argue over, and more time to come up with crazy theories (and evidence to support said theories)

And yet, even by DW standards, OG is wanky. Because you have this huge and diverse fandom, and this one board for them to speak out on. No wonder there is wank.

But it is very entertaining.

I am the Queen of Links, after all. Which reminds me, I need to write up my next list...
