There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

you could hate it. So no use doing the work ahead of time.

There's that, too.

I use the word "really" a lot. I should switch to very.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Totally.

Trying to think of what my dreamsite would look like. Production blog, shooting scripts available for download after an episode airs, pics, links to iTunes for music in the eps, oh, and I get named Queen of the Message Board. This is not a moderator position, only an understanding that I rule.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Totally.

Decidedly.

No, no, it'd be a middle finger with a ruby ring.

If I only had a brain...

My bucket of despair overfloweth in any case. Why add to it?

The status is NOT quo.

I'm really looking forward to this show. Impatient now.

There was this interesting article posted to Whedonesque about fandom:

On female Farscape fans:

"They joined the campaign at one stage or another because they were emotionally invested in the show. Rather than sit around and watch it disappear — and lacking the option of physical violence — they decided to put their energy and talent to use doing what it took to change the minds that needed changing. The whole thing has been amazingly strategic, particularly in the efforts to grow the viewership and target advertisers."

To that end, the uniquely imaginative 'Scapers created and distributed a wide range of promotional materials, from calendars and cookbooks to the more traditional buttons, postcards and posters.

One particularly clever ploy, "Brascape," had women fans demonstrating their gender-specific "support" by mailing their bras in to Sci Fi.

"Women are taught from a very early age a different way of problem-solving than men," suggests Nicola Wood, another key Canadian 'Scaper. "Female methods of problem-solving involve co-operation, communication and non-hierarchical thinking. Woman are taught to co-operate with each other, rather than compete."
