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

And the answer to your original question is I think yes, but I couldn't tell you for sure.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I bet Suela would know.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hee. Sorry. When I saw Dana's first post, I just though, "Fandom is so geeky. And I totally knew what she was talking about. Such a geek."

But, you know, no more arcane than sports knowledge.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

...ooooh, shit. Pegasus B. This is going to take quite some time to catch up with, isn't it? And I am already So. Sucked. In.

I keep starting... and then despairng of how much there is already and how I could never possibly catch up. And then starting again. Vicious cycle, I tells ya'.

...I've just realised how MANY stories there are in PegasusB.

I've read four. There are at least 151 more to go.

Ha! Well, keep in mind that it's not a series in the sense that you have to start at the beginning and read to the end; there are some smaller series within, but it's not like you can't skip around.

Admittedly, I haven't checked back in a while, but a scary proportion of them were very, very good last time I checked. Oh, and Pegasus: Ba'al is lovely and plotty.

...read a couple of dozen so far. I'm finding this terribly addictive, and generally good writing, but (and I suspect I'm going to be shot down in flames here), I can't help but notice that some writers are making the guys a little bit more like 13 year old girls than is strictly needful. A little bit. And much as I love teh slash, I have reservations about making everyone as gay as Christmas.

But the story with the piss taking scientists and the sudden burst of 'I could have danced all night' was fabulous.

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

Cutie fic story. One of the scientists here read my outline and said, "have you ever heard of fan fiction?"

I said, "why, yes. yes i have heard of fan fiction."

He said, "My daughter writes Newsies fan fiction. I had no idea what she was talking about. There's this whole other world, then?"

And so, that was adorable.
