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

Eh, whatever.

Hey, did you read the post RE the HP actors that just got linked to off of metablog? Very odd. You know, when I say something like "wow, X is hot" I mean, er, that I think they're hot. That seems fairly straightforward. But apparently there are vast numbers of people who don't mean any such thing.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I like the whole Dr. Who fandom. Okay, I just like the fact that they are called Whovians.

Whovians. What a fun name! The show of Doctor Who freaked me out so bad when I was 8 that I don't think I have watched it since. I had nightmares about invisible monsters that came to kill the descendants of astronauts who had crash-landed on some foreign planet.

Dr. Who?

t pushes that pile of paper further into the back of the file cabinet where it belongs

Nothing to see here, move along. Really.

Oh, yes. I mean, really. "Hot" means, "I'd shag him," in my interpretation. Or, at the very least, that he exudes sexual energy. I don't, for instance, find Orlando Bloom hot, just pretty. Viggo as Aragorn, however... t fans self

So, yeah. If you're gonna call a 13-year-old hot, be aware of what it sounds like.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dr. Who?

It's the first fanfic I ever became aware of -- she is British, after all.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I have a couple Who writers on my FList. It's still a big fandom over there, strange and ancient.

Squicky -- that's what it sounds like.

Unless, of course, you are also 13 or thereabouts.

(Connie! The picture on the RotK disc -- Aragorn with Anduril held up - you know the one -- you can just see the hilts of the sword. Mmmm.)

Where were we?

Oh, right. Cool article here. Interview with some women sf/fantasy writers, and the conversation wanders into the realm of slash and H/C. Pamela Dean comes up with the most concise definition of H/C I've ever seen. Also accurate.

Oh, that Connie. I was going, "Where we talking about swords? I was talking to her in another thread, am I lost?" Some days my brain isn't functioning in true multi-tasking mode.

Sorry -- I thought it was Connie but it was Consuela. . . I'm obviously being distracted by the Numenoreans on my tv screen.
