Allyson in Minearverse:
Too many people actually LIKE the reality shit.
We're the kids those people stuff in lockers.
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

Phones can ring! Pizzas can be delivered! Pee can be ... well ... peed!
It's marvellous.

Jess PMoon in the Minearverse. I'd watch this; I'd even make popcorn to enjoy during ...
I have an idea for a new reality series. It's called "Me, The Creators of The Swan, and a Baseball Bat."

erikaj in Minearverse, channeling the [expletive deleted]s that pitched The Swan to FOX, channeling Beavis:
I swear, whoever thinks these pitches up has to be the biggest crackhead in the world. Or Beavis and Butthead, reality show producers. "So then, we put these chicks on the show. And they're like, ugly, and stuff. But not fat cause nobody wants to see that. But they still can't score, like, ever. So, we'll like give them surgery and then show what they do when guys, like, want to score with them. It will kick ass. Unless somebody dies. But even that will kick ass, because violence rules. "
Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Sparky1:
My wedding invitations have a mistake on them. Now I have to find the courage to go back and look to see if it the mistake originated with me or with the printer. I am so much better at being angry at other people -- it doesn't last as long as being angry at myself and rarely gives me a headache.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
MAtt, that wasn't Kat poking at Allyson -- it was me.

Thanks, Sean! Although to be fair, I bet the real guy used some words like"synergy" and "cross-marketing" before the kicks ass part.

JenP in Boxset:
I saw the pilot and next episode that is on the S1 Farscape Disc 1. Preaching to the choir, I know, but Ben Browder could not possibly be more adorable. Even if he tried really, really hard. I loved the way he played the wonder of "Holy crap. Definitely not Kansas. Holy crap. Aliens. Dude, I'm on another planet ... cool ... oh, right, holy crap, vengeful space police."
