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

Okay, I'm reading the Krychek Water Baby story...and my god....this is...almost so bad it's funny but not quite. It's---this should be a parody, or the writer's idea of a joke, but it's written with such sincerity.

Fayjay, I can't find your email. But I'm an old XF hand, and big with the canon-obeisance. Also with the angsty hatesex appreciation. Send it my way, if you like. vehemently@yahoo.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Oh, ya'll were talking Farscape. I was like, Scorpy? Whassa?
Anyone happen to know when the reruns come on? Berea has the SciFi channel.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I'm working on that Harvey-in-Scorpy's-head fic right now, so that should relieve the Harvey missage if it doesn't suck.

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
I don't think Farscape comes back until the new episodes run in January. Could be wrong, though.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Springer is a real baby whale, an orphan discovered in Puget Sound. She was ill and becoming accustomed to humans.
Ohmigod. Someone wrote Springerfic? Oh dear Lord. That's just bizarre.
(There was awhile there this summer where you couldn't turn on the local news or NPR station without another Springer the Baby Orphaned Orca story.)

That's based on a real animal. Dear god in heaven. Trust me if you read it you'll be groaning at the badness before you ever get introduced to Springer the Whale.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I clicked on the link and looked at a paragraph or two. I groaned, and laughed hysterically. Earnest as can be, and with that whole "The Pacific Northwest is Way Mystic and Spiritual, Dude" cliche going for it.

I read more than a paragraph, you really need to read how she described Krychek...I mean Alex. And his redemtion through becoming a Water Baby. And how, now his two lovers are trying so hard to teach him how to be human again. I mean, dude they (Skinner and Mulder...I'm Walther and Mulder) even brush Alex's teeth, or they did at the beginning when he reverted from Water Babyhood back to human.
