The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[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.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I am not sure I understood 'Suela's post.

However. I have her back, against all comers.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

It's one of the reasons I tend to stay away from ship-specific and character-specific venues.

I dropped away from all my Spike-centric boards after I found the Buffistas. I'll take my kraxy in a well-rounded manner, not the chaos I found on the other boards.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Heh. So now we're well-controlled craxy chaos?

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

There's nothing creepier than FOX's disclaimer on The Inside's message board:

I think they should give me a little bit of consideration. I mean, really. I harness the power of the full page Variety ad, and I've been pretty considerate to them...so far.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I am not sure I understood 'Suela's post.

Oh, Michael Shanks (who plays Daniel Jackson, the most woobiefied character on the show) left Stargate for one season, and the fandom went kerboom. There's still a lot of fallout from that in some quarters, despite the fact that the actor came back (possibly chastened, but it's hard to tell). My point was the over-investment in one character resulted in some less than entirely perspectful responses.

However. I have her back, against all comers.

Aww, thanks Gus.

I spent far too much of my personal time trying to save Firefly, for example. Two months, I think. It took it's toll on me and I definately had some bad moments where I went apeshit.

With you there, Allyson. I was really wrapped up in the Save Farscape campaign for about four or five months, and I'm surprised I didn't lose my job (looking back at it now). But I wasn't ever doing it for the creators, except in the sense that I wanted them to finish their story. I was doing it for all the people who'd gotten invested in the story and missed the chance to see the rest. And for the community that formed about the show.

I don't think it was wasted effort: like Firefly, we got something out of it, and I met some cool people. But, yeah, now, it's hard to look back at it and think all of it was time well-spent.

Hey. New board.

Rachel Nichols just keeps staring at me.
I like it.

I totally agree.

Parsing...

Parsing, again...

Bag it.

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

I do not understand those abs.

Sure. A world in which ita does not understand abs is a real world.

It says so here.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I totally agree.

Hot. Diggity. Damn.
