[(Anonymous)]

what all did you drink? once I drank three monsters and a cup of espresso and I was seeing migraine auras without the migraine!

[philstar22]

Still in pain and mostly stuck in bed. I watched Lion King and Empire Strikes Back in Spanish, though, and that was fun. And my mother brought me home a brownie from Panera, which I'm just about to eat.

Pacific Rim: Uprising (spoilers)

[(Anonymous)]

Thoughts?

Re: Pacific Rim: Uprising (spoilers)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not going to see the movie but the first one was amazing and John Boyega is great and I am opposed to any revisionism whatsoever on those two points

Re: Pacific Rim: Uprising (spoilers)

[(Anonymous)]

It was OK, but I don't think it was as good as the first one. I'm annoyed by what was done with a couple of the original film's characters, but I fully admit that's personal bias because I liked them.

Re: Pacific Rim: Uprising (spoilers)

[(Anonymous)]

John Boyega was great.

However, it was not as good as the original, and...yeah. It did some weird things with the canon and the characters that I don't totally agree with.

(And I will be writing fix-it fic for one particular spoiler that really irked me.)

Is this geek hierachy still true?

Re: Is this geek hierachy still true?

No.

It's a little hard to put my finger on why but basically those traditional well-defined structures around science fiction & fantasy & fandom just don't exist anymore. Everything is much less silo'd off and distinctive and much more amorphous and omnipresent in the mainstream.

Is Pokémon really that uncool? ;_;

Mostly true in structure, although I don't know if furries are still universally at the bottom of the ladder.

The SFF line probably needs some work. Piers Anthony really isn't that much of a thing these days, and neither is the TV->novel space. Go to Buns and Noodle, and there's more Warhammer, D&D, Mass Effect, and Shadowrun paperbacks than Star Trek. Maybe there should be a slot for puppies vs. anti-puppies along the lines of the anime track.

There probably should be a line for TV Fans -> Real-Person Fiction -> Tinhatters. I'd suggest that there's likely a line of People who Play Games -> "Gamers" -> Gamer Gate. The Pokemon thing seems really dated as well.

I'd also add an arts and crafts chain. Hobbyists -> Makers -> Scrapbookers -> Amateur Radio.

I have definitely encountered SF&F fans who have published a novel and seem to expect everyone to be in awe of them now and want an autographed copy and soon they will be invited yo a con as a guest of honor... but in reality no one knows who they are because they aren't in that 0.01% of first-time authors who hit it really big right away. The pro/amateur divide definitely still exists in some people's minds.

I think that line is a lot more blurry now, though. Consider that things like Doctor Who and Star Wars are being made by people who grew up as fans of those franchises. Consider how many fans become professionals producing the fannish media and remain fans. Not all fans are pros, but pros often are fans.

I can't comment on all the sub-hierarchies, except I don't think I've heard anyone say "Japanimation" in at least 20 years.

I have no idea, but if so, out of the 3 or 4 pathways that apply to me, 3 or 4 of them stop right at the box before furries. :/ and idgaf about furries. Are they really that bad? (I'm obviously not talking about people who are into bestiality)I remember as a kid the most attractive Disney princes to me were the Beast (not as Adam), Simba, and Shang. I felt bad about finding John Smith attractive.

I’m wondering where exactly antis would fit in a modernized version of this chart. Probably pretty close to the bottom, but I personally don’t know where.

What kinds of fic rub you the wrong way?

[(Anonymous)]

Are there any types of fic in your fandom or fandom in general that you just don't like?

Re: What kinds of fic rub you the wrong way?

[(Anonymous)]

Stories where it's tagged 'bottom!X' and 'top!Y' but then it's the opposite for more than just like five seconds if at all. Makes me MAD that I wasted my time lol.

posting this in the new proper place!
