109. It’s always good to have more Sherlockians! Those short stories are like crack baked into potato chips munched to the tune of “Thank you, sir, may I have another?”

They’re addictive, is what I’m getting at.

118. I’d rather Xavin continue to be alive, arrogant, loyal, and awesome. Somehow Xavin became my favorite Runaway.

122. I haven’t read the books, but Nate and Blair are my favorite characters (just not together. When they’re together, clouds melt and orphans despair). I do know in the books they weren’t actually dating as long as in the show, and that Dan wrote the most terrible/amazing poem EVER:

sluts

wipe the sleep from my eyes and pour me another cup
i see what you've been trying to tell me all along
shaving your head and handling me (so delicately)
with satin and lace:
you're a whore

130. Exactly. Why can’t we love something without feeling a need to claim it as well? It’s like jealousy isn’t just a problem in romantic love…

132. While I don’t think I was ever in much danger, the show did help me through a serious period of self-loathing and low self-esteem. Through lulz.

146. You are great.

148. On one hand, you have a point about women’s literature being more readily, and violently, dismissed as trash while the works of male authors, or male genres, are given a pass despite being about the same level in quality.

On the other hand… SPARKLES.

122. Actually Blair/Nate went on for the whole series.. Just on and off.

[identity profile] vivalanaomi.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, but I meant the "childhood boyfriend/girlfriend" sorta thing, which from my understanding is something in the show. In the TV series, they hadn't been dating at the start of the book that long, from my understanding.

[identity profile] spring90.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh in the books they'd actually been dating since they were 15 (the books were set a year later than the show)

[identity profile] vivalanaomi.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Yup, that's what I meant. While the Nate/Blair of the show are implied to be dating since kindergarten. Which I believe is a hyperbole, but I believe that basically means for a long, long time. Probably since a high-class, text messaging version of "D U like m? Y N M?"

Oh damn, that point is beyond the realm of awesome.

The fact that my co-worker's high school English teacher is handing out copies of Twilight, "The Best Book EVER," to her class makes me very, very befuddled.

Re: re 148

[identity profile] acaciabrown.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
She enjoys a Mary Sue?

Honestly when I read the books, I came to wonder if English was Meyers first language. So, that makes me a little worried about the school in question.

I've only read excerpts. It's bad, but more like mediocre bad. Not truly, epically horrible, like Dan's poem or Baby Mimi (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/592421/1/Sin_and_Absolution). I read the quality crap.

Re: re 148

[identity profile] acaciabrown.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
and two pockets stuffed like a volcano with a gun and a wallet

Right so this is a man with two small volcanoes in his pocket.

Then Tony sees Reverend Camden in a big coat that�s black and Tony ejaculates

Well at least he didn't ejaculate like a volcano - I'm guessing that's one hell of a coat.

Annie is crying like a erupting volcano.

Ouch.

And the black guy would jump
out of the car as fast as a exploding volcano because the black guy lives in the hood
so the black guy knows how to deal with tripping homies.


So he's a black volcano that grew up in the ghetto?

So Tony Soprano decides to have dinner with the family because Tony would think
it bad to shoot a man who is a priest with pretty daughters and a really cute dog and who
likes black people.


But I thought he just ejaculated over his coat???

AT LEAST IT ENDED HAPPILY. UH I THINK.

That was utter win, I don't suppose you've seen the Jaffar x Aladin regurgitating urn fic that was up on bad fic a few months ago?

Re: re 148

[identity profile] vivalanaomi.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yikes, no. No one can touch the WTF that is Baby Mimi. So much of bad fic is really squicky, which is, IMO, sorta... easy. Terrible, but child's play. Well, hopefully not child's play, but what Baby Mimi does is ART.

Bad fic flows from her like lava from a volcano.

She has also written Buffy fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/613976/1/Requisition_to_profit_to_napoleon).

"Buffy hits Spike with Buffy’s hands and yells at Spike really loudly. But Buffy’s saying "Oh I am too cool I am so cool. Spike would never stop loving me." And then Buffy is mean to Dawn also because Dawn is cool and Buffy is so mean."

The way she captures the characters' voices... astounding.

Dude, they so aren't killing or dropping Xavin. For one thing, he's on the cover of the next issue.

Re: 118

[identity profile] vivalanaomi.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I saw some scans on Scans_Daily, so my fears were lessened, a bit. I'd miss all the fun with pronouns Xavin brings :(

Really, though, I've been in a duck and cover position for the entirety of Whedon's run. Which meant I've been in a duck and cover position for a very, very long time.
