You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, I'd love to sit and talk to them, if I got the kind of random meeting opportunity that, say SA had when she went to have lunch with Roz K in London and Roz brought along her good friend Neil Fucking Gaiman to join them for sushi.

I would really like to talk to both the Js about acting stuff, and scripts, and I think I could probably talk shit with Misha about pretty much everything, actually, although I don't know whether he'd let a person get a word in edgeways. But that whole pay-money-to-be-photographed-with-them thing, and the Beatlemania thing...well, I think that would unavoidably put any conversations on a painfully uneven footing. Certainly with JA and JP, who've born the brunt of the craxy fannishness. So that side of it, whilst not without its appeal (for I am a fangirl) mostly makes me squirm, and not in a good way.

But I think with production people, one would be much more likely to be able to have proper conversations about the show, without them being freaked out that you were going to stalk them/fondle them/whatever. So that would be nice.

Meanwhile - I have randomly committed an act of SPN LOLcat.

Because books.

Oh yeah, I don't have any interest in standing in line to get an autograph or a picture with them. That makes me shudder, too.*

I was thinking more of a ... randomly met in a cafe or bar thing, where you sit around and shoot the shit. Or even interviewing them.

  • The whole "take a cruise with the cast of Twilight!" thing *really* freaks me out. I can't imagine being those actors, trapped on a frigging BOAT in the middle of the water with fans. Did they *know* that kind of thing was going to be required, because dude. That is a million and one opportunities for total crazy!fen behavior right there.

I feel like, for me, meeting celebrities requires a certain amount of apology. You know, palms out, approaching slowly, "Hi there, I'm not here to try to mate with you, I just wanted to say I like that thing you make at your job."

nods like a gothy bobblehead

Yes. When I met the MCR boys, I was hyper-aware of my behavior, and said things like "I think you're very talented, and the show was fantastic". Partially because I didn't want them to feel any more awkward than they already did at the Meet & Greet, and partially because I hoped that if I stuck to comments like that, my brain wouldn't short-circuit and leave me staring at Gerard while going "Holy crap, you're prettier than your photos. Um, wow."

I would love to tour the SPN sets and talk to the production peeps. That would be fun! Except I'd need someone with me to make sure I didn't hunt down the writers and start ranting at them about their lack of occult research.

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

It would make you look kinda tinhatty to do so, I fear. (And, frankly, I suspect that they do more occult research than any other research, sadly enough.) Plus, they're pretty much all safely down in Los Angeles, as I recall.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Misha does like attention, yes?

There was at least one Buffy/Angel cruise for fans wasn't there? I'm almost positive Andy Hallet's name was mentioned in connection (maybe Lutz too) of one. I don't know if it ever happened but I was thinking about the awkwardness of it at the time.

Then I read that Richard Hatch does one with his fans every year. ::boggle::

I guess you would have to get a cut from the cruiseline according to how many people signed up. Financially it makes sense for them and then also...Free cruise. But yes the idea of someone being trapped on a boat with people who are just there to adore you does make it weird.

Yes. At least this part of it is becomming necessary.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Being trapped on a boat with people who adore you would probably be an improvement over being trapped on a boat with people who hate you. Or your family (in case those two don't overlap).

No, no, he's a shy and retiring little flower. Very Greta Garbo.

Honestly, he's getting quite hilariously drunk on the adulation, at least if Twitter and Asylum are anything to go by!

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

When I got to go on the Angel set I made sure I touched the convertible. I may have shaken the hands of one or more of the actors, but obviously it didn't stay with me like the car. I understand you people's priorities.
