"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Baby name sites call Shavonne a "phonetic variant of Siobhan". And, like a big dork, I'm sitting in my living room going, "Shuh. Sha. Shuh. Sha. Shuh-vonne. Shavonne." Close enough for government work, anyway. It's like me naming my daughter "Aimilee."

It's weird, because it seems like you wouldn't use the name Siobhan without knowing at least how it's pronounced, and footnotes throughout the story suggest rather a lot of researching, so it seems like maybe it's intentional. I just can't figure out why.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My mom's name is Kathleen, and mine's Kathryn. I wouldn't recommend it--the post office got very confused and started transferring her stuff to my address when I moved out on my own.

Hey. New board.

I really like the link from Plei's article, that guy's take on the usefulness of fanfic.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, good essay. Except for this:

And if they're writing slash (fanfic with sex!), chances are excellent that you're sucking in all of their take home pay that doesn't go to rent, food and cat products.

slash is NOT fanfic with sex. Grr. Wrong in two different ways.

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

Also, I don't have a cat.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

really like the link from Plei's article, that guy's take on the usefulness of fanfic.

Interesting article, and it backs up what I've often thought about fanfic: that it's a hell of an effective marketing tool. I've actually started watching shows--and buying DVDs--because my favorite fic writers ventured into a new fandom and dragged me along.

Oddly enough, Japanese manga publishers seem to encourage the actual for-profit sale of doujinshi, which are essentially fanfiction in graphic novel form. They see it as an indicator of a series' popularity, and as a way of marketing that they don't have to pay for. Plus, they'll often recruit the most talented writers and artist to produce original series.

Always Anti-fascist!

I know people here have watched Homicide because I posted crossover fanfic.(That may sound vain, but it does make me proud.)

Anyone have a link for "Stealing Harry"? I did, but it seems to have vanished.

Yeah, the link we had at PolyRecs was broken. I know I found a new one, but I haven't updated the site yet.
