And making Kay call Arthur "Wart" is borrowed from TH White.
This must be what going mad feels like.

This has got to be my very favorite Star Trek vid, ever: [link]
The first 30 seconds is a bit of a love letter to Kirk/McCoy, but the last bit is pure genius.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yes, Wart's a nod to TH White. Eh - I'm delighted you enjoyed it so much!
Sail, that vid was a rather surprising mesh of two different things, but I did laugh my ass off at the South Park section. Top banana!

Always Anti-fascist!
I still sort of find RPF embarrassing, but this person is a really good writer, and it's got KO, Rachel Maddow, New Orleans and enough subtext to float a barge. These are all things Buffistas like so I thought you'd like this, too. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just came across a fic that warned for het. Which always makes me roll my eyes, especially when the het pairs are listed in the pairings section (and pretty much canon, unlike the slash pairing).
But what I really wondered about was how the author listed the pairings. The men were separated with a slash (A/B) and the het pairs with a plus (A+C). Is there a fandom in which that's done conventionally?

I've been reading a lot of Narnia fic on FFN, where the characters are often listed as "Edmund Pevensie/Peter Pevensie", even when it's gen. I've seen the slash used that way occasionally before, but I've never seen anyone use the + as a romance indicator.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
huh. I'm under the impression that / always means sexuality.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Nothing is ever "always" in fandom (even when it should be). It's just too big.

Jezebel reposts RPF, the crowd goes wild.
Interestingly enough, there are more "I read that/I do that" commenters than you get on IO9, where posters are mostly clueless or outright disdainful.
Still, a lot of "Freaks!" and the requisite "RP sex is squick! You people are sick!"
