What's an event or favor that flopped that you still think about?

Were you ever the one who flopped?

Re: Based on #7

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yeah I have been flopping for a while. Wait, maybe that wasn't the question

I missed a meetup and didn’t let anyone know until halfway through when I saw my phone had been blowing up. But I had a legitimate emergency and I later blocked anyone who wasn’t understanding about it. In that situation I had nearly $1000 invested and it was covered under my travel insurance.

I’ve never gotten a prompt fill even when they were claimed. I prefer not having them claimed than the person flaking on me. I stopped participating in prompt exchanges a long time ago because of it.

Every book club ever. :/

The one fic fest where the author insisted on writing one of my squicks because they just couldn't imagine femdom without feet.

Also the fest where someone got pissed at my request and wrote the opposite in response. Specifically asked for James and Lily meeting up with Snape after finding out how he treated Harry. Got a fic where they meet him in heaven and Lily ends up dumping James and reaming him out and getting with Snape.

I admit, I've flopped out on a fic fest or two. Once it was because I ended up catching COVID and was unable to write. I do think I let them know in early enough time, though.

I was a part of a Fire Emblem horror zine and got really experimental with it - reality warping horror during the Siege of Garrag Mach (based on when my Switch overheated during a marathon gaming session and performance got slow, models glitched out, etc.) through Seteth's POV. Alternative text formatting, different fonts, the whole nine yards.

The editors did not contact me about any of it and spaced it out as if it was a regular fic. I did not have a chance to make suggestions or ask them to retain the edits before it was put in. I explicitly said to keep the formatting as specified. I'm still salty about it to this day.

LOL, I still think about Tumblr, Dashcon and the ball pit.

I didn't go, but oh wow it was a great spectator sport of fandom fail.

They're doing it wrong!

Based on #4. For the most part I don't think anyone really expects media to portray things as historically or factually accurate 100% of the time, but I also think we all have those niche topics that we just can't bend about and get all upset when they don't do things "properly" - what is yours?

Re: They're doing it wrong!

Being a veteran, when they screw up military uniforms and ranks and hair regulations. If you don’t have an advisor on call, google it!

Re: They're doing it wrong!

I used to get really annoyed when shows like Bones fucked up their anthropology and forensics, but it's been long enough that I've worked in that field that I'm a little more laid back about it these days.

Re: They're doing it wrong!

oh it's always the costumes for me, but I enjoy picking apart the inaccuracies, it's hilarious. most of the time I just want to sort out why a costume designer or art director made the choices, I only get really annoyed if the answer was clearly "bc audience dumb only like hot people being hot." fuck you, a gorgeously embroidered outfit showing zero skin is still hot.

I played the violin for many years, and it bugs me when TV or movies have someone faking it badly... like the bow and fingers aren't even moving in time to the notes.

Re: They're doing it wrong!

[philstar22]

Honestly I tend to mostly get annoyed at OOC. So new takes on a character that feel really off. My major issue with the Snyder version of Superman for example.

Re: They're doing it wrong!

[(Anonymous)]

I can forgive most things, so long as it would either be too expensive/too much work to get it right for what they were doing, they needed it to be a little off for the point they're making, it makes it more available to modern audiences, etc etc. What I can't forgive is forgetting their own shit mid-media. If you tell me something about the world in the beginning of whatever it is, book, movie, tv show, game, and then forget it and violate it later and hand waive it or never address it? You suck at it.

Re: They're doing it wrong!

[sparklywalls]

Look, I can forgive many things about Middle Ages and/or Tudor costuming if it's a rough approximation, but headdresses that are essentially hairbands are one of my triggers.

I can't think of any I have personally (although living in Minnesota and having grown up in IL/IA, I'm always on the lookout for mountains and palm trees that Should Not Be There in movies/shows set in the Midwest), but I just reblogged a Tumblr post I thought was funny that compiled people complaining about their peeves: https://hypokeimena.tumblr.com/post/735436034015477760/my-people-have-found-me

I'll take "Sounds That Animal Doesn't Make" for $500, Alex.

Food that has no business existing in the historical setting of choice. So, early medieval Europe settings with tomatoes and pumpkins and the likes.

Reminder: "Secrets you don't want to make..." thread is open until Sunday's FS post goes up!

What's for dinner?

[(Anonymous)]

Or current meal of choice.

I am very proud that I actually cooked something and even tried a new recipe! I made tofu with a delicious glaze and mixed it with rice that was cooked with random spices I threw in. It is so good and I even have leftovers so I don't have to cook for the next couple of days!

Re: What's for dinner?

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds really good! What kind of glaze?

I had a margherita pizza. It’s the small ones that come in a 3 pack from Costco. I added fresh basil and sliced grape tomatoes from my garden and also some extra mozzarella. It was so good that I have resist making another LOL

Re: What's for dinner?

[(Anonymous)]

I made a pasta salad earlier and now I'm going to try my hand at authentic hambagu. and if I fail it becomes meatballs.

What have you accomplished recently?

[kaijinscendre]

I finished my first needlefelting item. He is really ugly but I tried. It's so ugly. xD Especially compared to what it should have been.

In better news, I finished South of Midnight. It was a fantastic game and I highly recommend it. They have all kind of difficulty levels as well!

How's your day going?

[philstar22]

How is your Saturday going?


Nice quiet evening here. Watching Babylon 5 while my kitty is sound asleep on my legs.
