Lalala! I'm on the list! Yay!
Also, were you making that adorable squinchy face when you typed that? Were you? Hmm?
Yeah, I'm glad you didn't mention b.org, though, as I retain a very polite online presence for my professional persona, whereas you all know me as someone who swears like a sailor with his comedic tastes in the gutter.I don't namecheck b.org, ever. I don't really want my face to face people here. This is my refuge (which I typed as 'refuse' twice, and let that be a lesson to you, or something).
My friend said he knew someone associated with M:TG in real life, but I can't remember who (because the only meaning M:TG has for me is that my nephew used to be crazy for it, and you did beautiful work for it).
Alison Bechdel is going to be running the "archive" episodes of DTWOF, starting with episode 1, here.
You know who reads comics? HORRIBLE MURDERERS (and also you, hopefully.)
Heh. That strip was in one of the free comics I picked up on Saturday.
SPN Origins: (are we still WFing? it's monday, so we don't have to, but I will just in case) I kind of hate the art. And the colouring. But I love the John stuff. He's so lost, and that's conveyed very well in this. Also interesting to see him with a station wagon! I liked the last handful of pages the best, the Dean-Sam stuff (unsurprisingly). The moment where he begs Sam not to ask, and then says he'll take it all on himself? Gah. Bless his little fucked up heart.
Buffy: Oh, page three. You pwned me something fierce.
I am trying to get myself together to catch up on Runaways. I've got the first volume, but just haven't gotten around to it as I've been so involved with the wizard Dresden. Also on the catch-up: Astonishing, which I think I dropped around #14, and starting to wade through Lucifer all over again.
SA, on SPN: Origins, my fanwank re the station wagon (given that we see the Impala in the opening scenes of the Pilot) is that the Winchesters had two family cars. John had the Impala, and Mary used the station wagon with the kids. At first, after the fire, the station wagon seemed more practical--and safer--for hauling little kids around. Once he started hunting, however, something with a lot more power under the hood began to seem a lot safer than that big old tank of a station wagon.
I don't have my copy of SPN Origins yet but I did read someone's at the F2F, I let out a few Oh John!'s at the beginning.
I think my fanwank is that the artist messed it up.
As for the Geoff Johns backup: you know, the notion of Dean (and John, but especially Dean) actively trying to keep Sam in the dark about what happened to Mary (possibly/probably while John thought there was an end in sight) is very interesting to me. I keep having deeper thoughts on that, but it ties into the most recent aired episode, so I think it'll have to go elsewhere.
