Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

Culture Vultures, by Yahtzee. So, what happens when Willow and Oz and Faith all decide to visit the Met?

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

Not fanfic as such, but this had me weeping with laughter.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yuletide is open for signups.

Also, choosing my requests is *painful*.

That was painful. Should be fun, though.

I just posted my first crack_van rec. For some reason, I'm more jittery about this than about posting my own fic.

I wonder what it says about me that I'm less worried about people thinking I'm a bad writer than I am about people thinking I have bad taste?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I felt the same way Anne. I'm not even a slasher, mostly, which puts me on Fandom's special bus wearing a football helmet.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Does het/gen really constitute a minority of fanfic? I would have thought it was the other way around, except that here there's an unusual proportion of slashers.

brillig

an unusual proportion of slashers

yep, we're all about the unusual proportions.

I think slashers are just noisier--and I think there are more us here than in the general population. It's a slash sanctuary!
