Fandom is no fun without perspective. If you can't laugh at yourself, then it's kind of hard to laugh at other people.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can't even.
Universal posted some nice Serenity premiere pics on their site here:
I'm a fan, I'm in the fandom. Buffy was the first time I really let go and allowed myself to love a show wholeheartedly, and didn't reserve a big chunk of myself for snerking from the sidelines. I'd been pretty fannish about shows early (ST:TNG - helped run cons; X-Files early on before the immense suckage began), but Buffy changed things (two tape machines, just in case, transcribing eps, watch n post, etc.).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I feel like fandom generally coalesces around co-projects like fic and SOS campaigning. Where do the BNFs usually come in?

Fic, moderating a mailing list/community, fanart production, or really good analysis. But they have to be, um, involved. Generally, anyway, although I can think of one or two BNFs who are solely BNFs for fic production, without any other involvement in the fandom.

(Look, Jars, you and Nibbler caused me brain damage).
Excellent!
I just feel I should confuudle your already confused brain by telling you that those were our RL nicknames long before either of us ventured online.

Universal posted some nice Serenity premiere picsJewel in those heels makes me breathe hard. I'm being dead serious.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I knew Jose Canseco was there, but I was trying to forget. Do you really want to broadcast his association, Universal?

I think people get to call themselves what they want to and I follow what they call themselves, even when they change it on me mid friendship.
I think it's rude to link without asking.
But I also have pink hair and am in the middle of the busiest month of my life, so take that as you will.
