Imgur struggles

[(Anonymous)]

I can't seem to get the image alone from imgur anymore. i used to use the url and add .jpg/.png at the end, and then it would come up in F!S-usable format. Is there a new trick with the new setup? The Google-fu is not strong in this one...

Re: Imgur struggles

[kaijinscendre]

I just Right Click and Copy Image Location. That creates a usable link.

Take the string of random letters at the end of the link, and put it after http://i.imgur.com/[randomlettershere]

Inspired by #1

What's the worst or most confusing ship-name system or portmanteau you've ever come across?

What's the best, if any? Are there any good systems besides name/name?

Re: Inspired by #1

[kaijinscendre]

CSI always had fantastic ones. GSR for Grissom/Sara Romance was the best.

I also like Avengers ones. They are not used as much but I thought it was great to use a the same word to be used in any combo. So FrostIron, Thunderfrost, IronShield, etc.

I hated Yu-Gi-Oh ship names. There were too many. Just...wayyy too many.

This is old, but I always thought it was weird that Harry/Hermione was "Pumpkin Pie." For years I actually thought it was Harry/Ginny or Ron/Hermione! (Because Ginny and Ron are ginger.)

Reservoir Dogs ship names on tumblr have gotten comically bad recently. I accepted people calling Orange/White "Creamsicle" even if it was too cutesy for me, but a while back I saw someone calling Eddie/Vic "Toothpick Bitchslap", and that was when I knew that I as officially in a different generation of that fandom

the gundam wing fandom also used numbers. ex: 3x4 was trowa/quatre...I think. I know quatre was four because of his name and I know the other characters were also assigned numbers based on their names but I could never freakin' keep them straight.

Re: Inspired by #1

One of my favorites is that the VAs refer to Hiccup/Astrid as Asscup. (The fandom prefers Hicstrid) Sheith for Shiro/Keith

Portmanteau:
Pros - often unique and easy to search.
Cons - Often look and sound stupid.
Fights over the proper spelling.

Pairing Nicknames (Stormpilot, Stark Spangled Banner)-
Pros - More appealing
Cons - More confusing
May conflict with other fandoms if you pick something common like ___ Husbands

Name/Name -
Pros - Easy to understand. Matter of fact and not cutesy or dumb looking.
Cons - Risk of / messing up search or formatting or just whatever problems programming has with it.
Fights over NameA/NameB vs. NameB/NameA

Re: Inspired by #1

[nanslice]

I always liked Gundam Wing's shipping conventions. Most of the characters have names based on numbers in various languages so the fandom just use those. For example, Heero was 1 and Duo was 2, so their ship was 1x2 (or 2x1, because GW definitely followed the "top goes first" rule).

Re: Inspired by #1

[dancingmouse]

The most confusing ones to me are ones that are heavily based off of Fandom in-jokes. Like they call a couple Raisin Bran because of a random Fanfic that called them that, or Sock Monkey because of a strange IM chat a few BNFs had one night. I mean, they're funny if you're in on the joke, but not everyone is, and it can get confusing to casual or newer fans.

The best ones to me are ones that either mix the two names together, or have a nickname that even casual fans can get, like Puppies/Puppylove for Sirius and Remus, or Snarry.

Dumb dreams

[(Anonymous)]

So last night I had a somewhat sexy dream involving Leonardo DiCaprio. I rarely dream about famous people, sexily or otherwise, and have never found Leo that attractive, but I was watching Before the Flood yesterday evening and my brain apparently went "Scary Global Warming... Sexytimes!" because OBVIOUSLY.

Thanks brain!

Had any dumb or weird dreams recently, FS?

Trick or Treaters

[(Anonymous)]

I'm trying to decide what time I want to turn off my porch light. Nobody's been by in a bit, and I'd like to just make some kid's night and unload most everything I have left, but...I'm getting tired of hanging out down here and want to go upstairs and play my games.

I wish I was good at writing smut, because there are so many small fandoms that just really need a little bit of vigorous, intense, well-executed porn
