I showed my sister Starships, among other vids yesterday, and she couldn't understand why it made me cry.
I guess if you haven't seen every show or movie that comprises it, and the song wasn't an anthem for an important facet of science fiction (she's started reading fantasy, but not sci fi yet, I don't think), I guess it's not ... I just thought it would be easier to explain.
I will post it to IO9 and see if they get it.
I also showed her Profound Bond, and that anyone who's watched SPN and two romantic comedies gets that. You don't have to ship it to find it well executed.
I missed out on this year's Vividcon DVD! I can't believe it's not last year still--I swear I just watched the last one for the first time.
I just got my Vividcon DVDs from shrift. I won't have time to watch until tomorrow but I'm excited to check them out!
Shrift--is SPN totally out of vogue at Vividcon? I was just going through some of the older DVDs, and there's a big dearth. Did all the Vivid-people never get into it, or fall out of it?
Unrelatedly, in one chapter this poor author revealed that she thought a) replacing a spark plug was expensive and would take installments to pay off and b) you have to pass the bar exam to get into law school. Not only do they not know life, they also don't know the show's canon. Even though the educational canon doesn't work properly, LSAT is named specifically. I am assuming the vegetable facts are correct, though.
This is why 13-year-olds should probably stick to writing My Little Pony fanfics.
How to Google and Not Suck At It should be, like, 5th grade curriculum.
1st google result shows how she could have extrapolated a spark plug problem into something a little more pricey, but "the spark plug"? Wow. Don't you usually know when you don't know?
No way to tell if some member of her family has or had one of those crappily engineered vehicles where you need an engine hoist to swap out the spark plugs then got shafted by the mechanic, I suppose?
Fall out, I suspect, ita !.
Do a percentage of people fall out of every fandom? I was a lifer with Buffy and Angel, and obviously continue to be for SPN, so for me that's the norm, if that makes sense. I never know whether people are drifting away from SPN because they don't like it anymore, or it's a natural drift.
