I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I hate the Nikita fandom sometimes.

I hate how it's gotten to the point where it trudges along, kind of boring and blase, until it goes INSANE on you.

I run a weekly drabble thing, and I've been accused of stealing someone's suggestion for a drabble topic and not giving her credit. Because, you know, that's the path to glory in any fandom. Making good drabble suggestions.

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

You bitch!

Or, er, you know, not, as that's nuts.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And, you know, two people in fandom? Never have the same idea.

Thanks for all the fish.

It's beyond the realm of imagination, Dana, that more than one person would have the same idea about something.

And one of these days I'm going to get around to suing everyone that has ever written a boy-meets-boy-boy-loses-boy story because I had an idea about that ages ago. Sure, I didn't write it down, but they're obviously stealing my thoughts.

oh my GOD, I hate the Nikita fandom.

Some days, dear, I think we should come up with amusing sockpuppets and go after 'em.

And then I remember that it would be, like, hard work and stuff, and that I'd actually have to deal with the crazy people instead of ignoring them.

This, she says lackadaisically, is why I could never truly be in charge of an evil cabal.

Sooooo... I know a lot of y'all are BBF members, and probably dimly recall the days when *good* recs happened. Yeah, me too.

I still think it could be a great resource, if a few smart people a week rec'd what they'd read and liked in recent times.

Especially, I think, slash recs. It could use a *lot* of slash recs.

I'm so sorry the tinhats are driving you nuts. I have no consolation except that your fandom does appear to be insane.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Is that a call to action, Plei?

I'll try to do better. I don't tend to keep up with that list as much as I ought because generally the slash is where I head first, and you're right, it's not well represented. And some of the recs I've seen recently have been, well...

So I'll make an effort, when I come across something better than average, to remember to rec it there.

That is a call to action. I, err. Err.

Seem to have hit my head on something and had my brains leak out, because I'm a mod there now.
