Dear Quin,

We just vaccuumed the rug. Why must you recover it with fur?

Slightly irritated...

Dear fanlib,

No, seriously, disrespecting the people you want to bilk money from, and letting your members call those of us who aren't buying into your pyramid scheme 'sheeple' is not winning you points.

Please, please don't let the door stop you from kicking yourself out.

PS. No BNF told me what to think. I'm just not as stupid as you expected us to be.

Dear Kara/Lee fans,

If Katee's words are so heart-rendingly painful that you can't shut up about them, maybe you should stop watching the show and leave fandom.

Failing that, please shut the fuck up about how she's traumatized your poor shipper heart. You're as bad as the Sam/Jack fans who won't shut up about their entitlement, either.

-=-

Dear Katee,

No, seriously, saying things like that about CKR makes me want to write RPF. And. No. No more.

-=-

Dear teeth,

Stop that.

-=-

Dear Dynamite,

Dudes. Multiple covers went out in 1997. Please please please just let the interior artist do your covers. Most of the alternates have been fugly, anyway. Except the photo cover of Kara with the cigar, and gambling.

Also, that one artist of yours has obviously never actually seen a real woman. We? Do not bend like that.

PS, who decided to rip off Ghost in the Shell for the next BSG cover?

-=-

Oh, oh, oh. I need to do a post about the Wisdom LS in a bit. But. Suffice it to say, OMG.

Ooh, what did Katee say? What did she say? I want to be whiny and proclaim my entitlement too!

She says that, and I'm paraphrasing, "Kara loves Sam more, as their relationship is an actual adult relationship. And she's known Lee forever, so she's mistaking that for real companionship."

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN FANLIB TO ME.

Please.....?

I'll give you...peeectures.

It is... Fanfiction.net for the MySpace crowd, as someone on [livejournal.com profile] life_wo_fanlib noted.

Basically, they want us to upload stories, that they will make money from. And we, the people doing the actual work will get, um, t-shirts! And, and, if the companies that we're writing fanworks of come after Fanlib, Fanlib will step aside and claim "Oh noes! We didn't know!" and we, the people writing, will get sued. And have to pay Fanlib's court costs. And stuff.

There's lots of commentary on the community http://community.livejournal.com/life_wo_fanlib/ that says it (sometimes in far too tl;dr fashion). And Henry Jenkins has also weighed in, but I'm too lazy to dig out his link.

Simple. Quin got on the rug BECAUSE you just vaccuumed it. Silly!

The other stuff... yeah, next time I think I will just ask Katee what her favorite flower is. That's a nice safe question, right? Or her favorite season? (ZOMG! She's oppressing WINTER!!)

Err... perhaps I'll just go back to banging my head against the wall.

Man, the comics company that does BSG does the many alternate covers thing too? Suck.

Yep. And it's stupid! They're making it less possible that people will continue buying the books.

IDW, the guys who do the Transformers comics, usually have at least two different covers for any given issue. It's annoying as hell. Especially when my comic shop doesn't get in the cover I want.

Stop taunting me with covers involving my favorite characters, and then not letting me get them! *rarghs*

They're doing five covers an issue. Three drawn, one photo, and one reverse-image dealer incentive. Bleh. Luckily, there's usually at least one that's decent.

I think she and Jack are collaborating to open the dimensional door to cat hair and FUR THE WORLD.

Or something.

But Kara and Lee are an Epic Love Story. (I totally missed that memo, of course)

And actually, canon pairings are usually the exception to the rule, since, as the SG people and the JAG people and countless others keep saying, "couples who are together are BORING." Which is in fact an accusation leveled at the canon couples on BSG. Helo and Sharon, Kara and Sam, Cally and Chief. Because, y'know, people who aren't angstily pining for each other are boring and have no conflict (I really hope someone sends my parents that memo. I think they've been arguing about Dad's water glass since before I was born.)

K/L epic love story. Not going to happen! She hasw set a precedent had mad torture pre-sex with Leoben in series 1, Series 2 HOTSTICKY lovesex with Sam, fumbled touching with Lee don't count. series 3 Had the sex with Lee amde his crzy. married HOTSTICKY SAM, had stupid sex with other men on the planet but always returning to HOTSTICKY SAM. Captured by Leoben (possibly had sex in the fake flat dunno?) Back to Hubby, intense fumbling with Lee but still goes back to Hubby. I am not sorry to say that I don't think the K/L thing will ever be happy ever after(need to find the orignator of that expression and KILL them) I do however see Kara with everybody else except A/R. Why? Cos Ron likes to stick to the fans! Actually I think Kara and Sam are the hotter couple to be tottaly truthfull *ducks to avoid missiles from ireate shippers!*

Heh. Well, the other thing Katee said was that she and Trucco both agreed that Kara slept with NO ONE on New Caprica, or on Galactica. That, in fact, Sam's words were to stab Lee and make him feel not-special. Which they did. *g*
