Amanda and I were discussing Alias the other nigh and amongst the "*gush* *love* *gushgush* Thatwassocool!!!" there was this:
Amanda: My other pet speculation--and really, from the foreshadowing so far it seems more a matter of when than if--is that we'll eventually find out that Rambaldi is still alive and kicking.

Thank god there's a new one tonight because I need another episode. Though, the promo didn't look that enticing. But... Jesus Christ, this show is trying to kill me.
First and foremost.... Oh, Jack, I love you. I love you so much, mere words cannot convey my love for you.

I just can't make up my mind about this series. On the one hand, it's people who've never met getting married! Chosen by the public! And FOX is totally playing up the cheese. How can I not love the pandering?

I watched the episode of Firefly where Jayne attempts to turn Simon and River in to the authorities for the reward, and... I don't know how to feel about it. On the one hand, it's interesting that the show is showing a more realistic side to things, showing that these characters really have been Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-907121052003-03-14T07:11:00.000-08:002003-03-14T07:11:04.653-08:00By the way, if you fan find good... okay, decent Jackie/Hyde fics, please let me know. ....dammit, I just spent the last half hour or so looking for decent fics and reading and GAH!

Especially the lazy part. But, anyway, I was thinking about the first season and realized something that kind of bugs me about the show--the way they treated the female characters. Kim and Terry were constantly kidnapped, only used as pawns in Kiefer's struggle, rarely able to do much on their own.

The Gravi site and eFanfiction.net both have it. AdultFanFiction.net has it, too. (There's one site that did their own script and now I can't find it....

Damn, do I love Keifer. Oddly, I don't mind Spawn of Keifer, either. And I find myself rather liking Teri and Jack/Teri. (Terri? Not sure.) Oh, sure, the daughter can barely act, but I don't find her obnoxious. And I also oddly find myself pulling for Tony/Nina.

Anyway, I was watching my tape of tonight's episode and it hit me all over again (as it often does) how much I really enjoy the couple, how much fun they are, how much I sit up that much straighter when they're on the screen.

Well. One of the many things. I just spent two hours trying to explain the last year and a half of the show to Dian and I covered most of the plots, including the latest thing with Sloane and Emily, but I was barely able to start on the Irina thing, only getting up to the point she turned herself in and I didn't get to even mention Will!

You know what I find kind of interesting? Watching Alias, I realize the Jack/Irina relationship is so very much like Irina herself. I know it's going to end in heartbreak, I know it's manipulating me, I know it has ulterior motives, I don't quite know what it's endgame is, but I have suspicions, but I know it's nothing good... and, yet, I find myself falling in love.

Since I'm lazy, I'm just gonna c&p a lot of my own babbling from that chat.
It started with reading this rant against RPF and it... just wasn't clicking with me. The thing that's twigged me is her point about celebrities being a product.

And something feels off about the latest happenings. While I like them, while I've liked some of the lines, it feels too... fake, I guess. Something like that.

Big, White Mess All Over the Rubble in Shinjuku: Fanworks recs. Largely anime and comic book, but occasionally other stuff sneaks its way in. Very occasionally. The most of which is Harry Potter. (Title from a very bad, but incredibly charming Godzilla porn fic. I love that fic. ^_^v)

A lengthy post that I'm posting just here. Not here and Passing Fancies! Whoo! ^_~
I've been debating about whether or not I'm geek enough to do an entry like this... and apparently I am. I've been itching to compare the various FFNET clones that have been popping up recently.
Fanfiction.net: I've actually already said a lot about what I find wrong with FFNET, and a lot of it Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-842749362002-11-09T05:00:00.000-08:002002-11-09T05:00:30.966-08:00I'm also posting this one on Passing Fancies, but I figured it was appropriate here as well and since I've been ignoring this poor li'l thing.... So.
I've been catching up on this season's TV, specifically Smallville, The West Wing, Alias, Boomtown, Crossing Jordan, Firefly, John Doe, and other shows I'm forgetting at the moment. Random babbly thoughts....

So. Massive uploading of screen captures here. Lots of Inu-Yasha screen captures and other stuff like John Doe, Firefly, X-Men: Evolution, He-Man (the new version), Crossing Jordan, and I even put up the Ewan McGregor screen captures again, because I loved that special so much. ^_^vBeckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-821242182002-09-25T19:02:00.000-07:002002-09-25T19:02:24.916-07:00Okay, so massive spoilers for Firefly and John Doe.
First of all, I liked Firefly a lot, but... it did take me quite awhile to get into it. It felt like the first 50 minutes were interesting, but not "Oh, I want to see more of that~!" interesting. Just... "This is cool, I can waste an hour of my time on this."

I've missed three episodes that I've wanted recently because I was just a bit too lazy and couldn't quite make the ends meet. It started with Ring 0 being posted on alt.binaries.multimedia.japanese, which was a ~50-file file that I missed by five little files. Grrrr.

So. Meh. I'll do a Firefly/John Doe post in a minute to appease my guilt. ^_~
So I'm reading Gotham Knights #33 and kinda liking it.

Marry me?
I cannot agree more that there is a difference betwee taking a character off the beaten canon path and a Canon Sue (oh, what a beautiful term). The idea is especially annoying to me because it's not like we don't have a) Mary Sues already and b) characters who are obviously Mary Sues already (Samantha Waters, Duncan MacLeod), to make the remaining Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-813039512002-09-07T22:14:00.000-07:002002-09-08T00:58:14.000-07:00Eheh. This is going to be long. I should probably post it on You've Got a Friend in Porn, but... what the hell. My blogs, I can do what I want. ^_~
First and foremost, I started off the night with a long discussion with a couple of friends about what I would change if I ran FFNET. I've pondered this before, bitched about it before, but never actually written down a list. So, here I go.

Reading posts on rec.arts.tv about Alias, and someone mentioned the possibility of the Circumference (or whatever the Circumference powers, since wasn't it basically just a giant battery?) possibly being a time machine.

1) Fantasy vs. Realism, especially when applied to sex in fic. (Specifically gay sex, since most of the het pairings I like don't have many sex fics written about them.)
2) A pairing rant springboarding from Celli's rant, since Amanda mentioned it. And I'll go nuts if I don't get it out of my system.

I'm weird about the way I do HTML. ^_^;; ), I've had Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-784288262002-07-01T12:13:00.000-07:002002-07-01T12:13:52.380-07:00....gah. I feel badly about deglecting this blog, but given that it's a non-fandom-specific/general-fandom-'fanthropology' blog... I really haven't had much to say lately. Most of anything intelligent I've had to say has been going onto Passing Fancies, because it's anime-related.
*sigh* Maybe I'll get that FFNET rant written up tonight. -_-Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-778213232002-06-16T15:43:00.001-07:002002-06-16T15:43:40.560-07:00Okay, I'm done now.Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-778213132002-06-16T15:43:00.000-07:002002-06-16T15:43:21.933-07:00Another thing I meant to ponder. A long, long time ago, Nicole and I had a conversation about whether or not you could get to "know" a series without watching the original source material. I won't state the specifics of what brought us to this conversation, only say that certain people who drove us batshit with their views/portrayals of the characters without ever having seen/read the original Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-778212552002-06-16T15:41:00.000-07:002002-06-16T15:41:25.000-07:00Good god I must be bored if I'm writing about this.... (And it should probably go on Passing Fancies rather than here, but... bah. Essay-type thing, so it's staying here.) It's actually crossed my mind a couple of times, but it wasn't until I read Celli's article at Fanfic 101, which mentioned her reaction to a story that contained incest.
For many years, incest squicked me.

As I've mentioned, I save stuff I like or stuff I even might want to read in the future. I'm not sure why I started this habit, but I think it was because I used to have a 56k modem and it was a pain in the ass to have to Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-778192722002-06-16T14:32:00.000-07:002002-06-16T14:32:38.410-07:00Well. FFNET being down for a week is frustrating me. Sure, you can still get to the stories there, but that doesn't help me much because I save all the fic I might possibly ever want to read. (Seriously. I've burned three CDs of just fic already--and I shove 650MB of fic onto each one. No, I haven't read all of these, but I might want to someday and I like my organization of stories.

This thread about Heero/Duo produced a... strange... post.
Heero x Duo is cute, depending on the circumstances... i dont really like Heero's actual GW personality... thats why i like AU fan fics ^__^
NOTE: just to clear things up, i dont like the ACTUAL yaoi part of Heero x DuoBeckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-774396572002-06-06T16:55:00.000-07:002002-06-06T17:09:31.000-07:00This thread on The List (ReBoot forum) and this thread on the ReBoot Mayhem forum amused me greatly this afternoon. The basic gist of things is that Alyrssa MST'd some original characters that were posted about on the ReBoot Mayhem forum and, well, you can read through the whole thing if you're interested. They're not very long, maybe 20 or 30 short posts in total.

Of course there's some pressure on all of us, at the very least to not be a raving lunatic and to make our rantings generally presentable. But do people feel a sort of pressure to play up certain aspects of their personality and opintions whileBeckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-774070562002-06-05T22:09:00.000-07:002002-06-05T22:09:52.940-07:00So I haven't really been reading blogs regularily lately (rather long-winded explanation that's more easily summed up as I was being anti-social) and I was catching up on those that I haven't read in a couple of weeks and one of the ones I read was Liz's (Wai! Adorable Tohru and Kyou layout! *hearts*) and she had an entry about the type of people she links to, and it kind of got my mind Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-773863022002-06-05T12:33:00.000-07:002002-06-05T17:38:32.000-07:00Okay, shiney, brand-new blog here. I'm thinking I might use this one as either solely for general fandom discussions (meaning, not focusing in on any one particular fandom at any time) or make it more of a live-action-based blog. Not entirely sure yet. 'Sides, I still gotta figure out what to do with Confessions of a Crack Addict, too.
Anyway, I posted those bits of fandom babbling I Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11802502469940425894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558064.post-773862182002-06-05T12:31:00.000-07:002002-06-05T12:31:16.533-07:00Robin wrote a really cool entry about fandoms going bad (which you need to post about, so I can post on your blog rather than here, because it'll just get lost among all my other blather ^_^;;) and one of the things she mentioned about when that happens was: There is some critical mass of 10k PWP fics that defines the beginning of the end, creatively speaking, for any fandom or shippage.

Ah, well. Getting my brain organized enough to reply to a bunch of things now.
Noel mentioned The Sentinel in her response essay-type-thing, which, wow, brought back memories. Unlike her, I wasn't really shocked at the behavior. I'd been in the American Gothic fandom, so I knew what it was like to be a part of a campaign to attempt to save a show.

Organization time! ^_~ So I'm finally posting the damn essay thing you got me started on and... well, it kinda sucks. Because I couldn't make up my mind.
Warning: It's quite long, so you may want to skip past it to the huge fan art recs thing I did previously.
