How can you expect him/her/it to know the names of the characters or ship when he/she/it can't even come up with Joss's name?
summary: based upon something I once read that the creator of Firefly said.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And notice -- s/he doesn't say she read Joss saying it. S/he read that Joss said it. Just a little detached from the show ... I'm quite impressed with it on that front.
Still think it reeks, though.

Meep! Snippet, spoilery for last night's Angel
I don't know if she'll polish it up, or if it really needs polishing. Ouch ouch ouch.

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
Interesting "definition of fanfic" stuff along with a reaction to the Iliad movie that made me giggle. Nov. 14th entry (it looks like the permalinks are only per-date.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Damn them - how can they tell you who's scheduled for Achilles and not mention Patroclus? Wow. Man, I do hope this movie happens. BigGayLove-alicious. You could have some very nice Paris/Menalaus UST too. Oh, man. The number of slashable relationships/canonically gay relationships - oh, man. Wow. Sign me up now.
(Also? Yay Team Bloodshed! Bloom's so GOOD at getting all slaughtery. Fun fun fun!)
...I wonder if they'll include the Troilus/Creseyde thing?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I thought I was immune to being annoyed by the portmanteau words for pairings (Spuffy, Ganya, Spillow). But I just saw S/X referred to as "SPANDER"!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
See, that's just too close to "spandex" for it to ever be a good thing.

I think the worst one I ever saw was Spawn, for S/Da. Spru is pretty terrible too, and Fungel.
Yep, hating there right along with you. Spike and Xander in spandex? Better. Spander? NSM.
