Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Thrive to spite them

I think right now the only thing uniting most of fandom is a huge hate on for FanLib.

I have very vague memories of when I was young. The earliest is kind of an impression of blocks and carpet.

Another early memory wanting to stay inside and watch tv when my brother and I were supposed to go outside. I'm pretty sure the show was Emergency!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just backed up my LJ, not out of any real fear of deletion, but because it never hurts. I used LJ Archive, which was very easy.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm finding it enormously difficult to care much about FanLib, and it's making me feel kind of guilty.

You're not obligated to care.

I suspect FanLib will subside into an archive that newcomers to fandom use, and nobody else pays much attention to. Periodically they'll try some contest or something to get people to post, and we'll mock them and move on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

suela is wise

Me, I'm a bit more concerned by the deletions that are happening over on LJ.

Art Crawl!!!

Are people deleting their stories to avoid fanlib? Because they've joined fanlib? Or is lj going nuts and deleting stories all by itself?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Fanlib and the LJ deletion craxxy are two different kerfuffles. The latter is related to vigilante crazies and paranoia; the former is still in the point-and-laugh (or totally ignore) phase.

Sadly, f_w is down, or else I would have pithy comedy to quote about both.
