Start rambling the start of a plot. See how many interuptions can occur while writing a short story. ;)

People wouldn't believe the kinds of interruptions I have had. If I wrote about the last few weeks, it would be rejected as being too ridiculous...

Guys, what's the most annoying Duran Duran song you guys know of?

Oooooh! Oooooh! I know this one! All of them! :)

Both of them charged after the sheep

*applause* Well done!

Unfortunately I'm going to put a hold on writing until we move. I'll need every spare minute to pack and such.

*climbs in boat with Zan*

Plenty of room in my boat, but I'll warn you it's leaking like a sonuva. It's starting to look distinctly like the sellers are going to completely screw up the close on the house, with just about 36 hours to go. There are no words to express how pissed off I am right now.

Do go on, Mr. An Madman.

No really, share. I need some crazy.

But first, I attempt sleep. Night.

Southpark aside (why would you do that to yourself? Animated characters, that look like that? no, just... *shudders*), that's by far the best part of fanfic. The sexytimez. :D
Luckily the fanfics in question aged the characters considerably (which given the reputation of perverts on the internet is actually surprising) and I have a good imagination so I can easily picture them without the crappy art style attached.

But yeah, those fanfics ruined that show for me nonetheless. Yet I just keep on reading them...

Weirdly the "fanfic-ruination" has only really happened with South Park. I've read tons of Harry Potter, Glee and Merlin slashfic and I have no problem watching/reading those.

I had a similar sort of thing with Code Geass but the Lelouch/Susaku stuff in the show itself is so oddly prominent that the slashfic rarely felt out of place.

But I will obviously agree that slashfic is all kinds of awesome... god I'm such a pervert...

Oooooh! Oooooh! I know this one! All of them! :)
How DARE you! :rant:

Ha! There are people who are probably already wondering why I was entrusted to look after a child. I don't want to confirm any suspicions.

Although she *has* learned two new swear-words, now loves The Dark Tower illustrations and keeps asking to watch Alien...

But I will obviously agree that slashfic is all kinds of awesome... god I'm such a pervert...

I'm probably alone in this thread in that I discovered slash through the original mimeographed Spork poarn - it was stashed in among comics of the era, and is still as eyebrow raising as ever.

Can't speak for everyone but I stumbled across it by happy accident in my early teenage years, back when I was on a quest to map out all the gay porn on the entire internet (read: Watch lots and lots of porn), and from the moment I first read about Draco kissing Harry, a relationship was born that will last a lifetime. Or until I finally mature enough to not feel the need to read about fictional characters doing the deed that dare not speak its name...

... so yeah, a lifetime.

Then we are perverts together. Pretty sure slashfic got me through the drudgery that was my three weeks of exams. My brain was quite happy to park itself at the door.

And, you know, you can claim to read your porn rather than watch it, so that makes you on a higher plain intellectually that those who just watch it. Because your brain's still working. That's the excuse I use anyway ;)

And urgh, I have work. How did wednesday get here so quickly. See you all later.

Um. *thinks* I know that Den was among the stuff I was reading at the time, so I guess I would have been... 13? (I can't imagine having gone on a Richard Corben reading binge much older than that)

That's quite good... I may steal that excuse.

Toodles. :)

I was 13 when I made my discovery of it too. Because that was how old I was when I got my first computer that I didn't have to share with anyone. It's also the age that I started to think I might be gay, so with my new computer I went a-searching, found that I could totally get into the "men doing it with men" thing, and never looked back. Thus completing my transformation into the unrepentant brazen perverted homosexual you see before you.

Gosh, this conversation makes me feel so OOOOOLLLLDDD! And parochial. My first encounter with fanfic was Spock/Kirk, back before computers were in people's homes! I had to read (and write) hard copies, on actual paper! And I didn't see my first poarny movie until only a year before I was married. If I wanted to see something dirty, I had to steal my dad's copies of Heavy Metal or read the paperbacks he confiscated from his students.

I'm not backreading, because you people are on fire....

since we're on about the sexy times... if anyone would like me to come over and sex them up, I can because I now own two see through nightgowns.

That were not intended to be see-through.

What the hell? The models wearing them were not exposed! I literally opened the package, shook them out - they came TWO to a pack, one blue, one pink, AND COULD SEE THE WINDOW SHADES THROUGH THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER! What the hell???? I don't think I can keep these,... I'm terrified of a earthquake or fire at night and there's no way I'm running out the front door with nothing but the cat and these cheap nightgowns on.

Ah. Heavy Metal. :D I have a stack of those I'm claiming are valuable research material (obviously none of the Eastman ones - I like my weirdness with at least some integrity)...

And I may have some of those dubious paperbacks. :D

Not literally, although I've had some close calls...

Send them back. And tell the supplier off for misleading advertising.

At least if you're wearing one of those you won't be forced into one of those post-fire interviews on the local evening news station.

Are we talking about the stuff that inspired that film called Heavy Metal? I haven't read any of it, but the film is awesome.

Unless we're on about a different Heavy Metal here...

Same thing. Originally Metal Hurlant, the title has gone through a bunch of changes over the years, including a short period playing with the harder end of SF, some fantasy, and - in the late 90s or early 00s - flirtation with computer generated art a thousand times better than the crappy CGI Batman hardcover. Ignore the current incarnation, and hunt down the classic version. :)

Yes, it was a magazine, once upon a time, kind of a comic book for grownups, before comic books become adult friendly. Lots of nudity, lots of grossness. I loved them.

I have this weird ambivalence for the Heavy Metal movie. It had a KILLER soundtrack!!!! And some of it was fun. And some of it.... wasn't. I don't know why.

Yeah I remember after I first saw the movie (at an irresponsibly young age I might add) I kept telling myself I'd track down the magazine at some point. I just never got around to it.

Good night Cantina. Multiquoting ahoy!

Oh god. Please not neighbours. I'm embarrassed that that's our main export.

Wasn't Skippy Australia's most successful TV export? It was first made when I was about two. I reviewed some Skippy DVDs once.

I don't see how "let's get a bunch of over-dramatic wannabe arseholes and shove them in a house for a while while occasionally annoying them on purpose" can ever turn into anything other than a clusterfuck of offensive nonsense.

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here. I used to watch BB, though haven't for a couple of years. Two perfectly intelligent people of my friendship (both of them older than me) maintain a BB blog on another forum. At its best it is character interaction in real time. (And before anyone says "they don't have a character", everyone has a character, even if you don't like their personality.)

At first it sounded like (and was) a potentially fascinating social experiment. However, what did happen was that people saw it as a quick ticket to fame. What is more the problem, in the UK certainly, is that being famous for doing nothing more than being famous is now a career goal for many people.

Which is another thing. Little Britain tainted the reputation of British sketch shows/double-acts. Before that we had the Two Ronnies, French & Saunders, Armstrong & Miller, Fry & Laurie, Mitchell & Webb, and undoubtedly others that I'm forgetting. But Little Britain soured it with their tired, predictable, un-funny crap.

Morecambe and Wise! Half the population watched their Christmas shows in the 70s.

I never watched Little Britain, so won't comment on it.

Television-wise, Britain seems to be discovering foreign-language television - especially crime series, often but not always Scandinavian. I got hooked on The Killing (1 & 2, Danish) and The Bridge (Danish/Swedish coproduction), and I'm catching up with the repeat showing of Borgen (Danish, actually a political drama) and Spiral (French) - all brought to us by BBC and all excellent. And I saw a couple of very good Aussie miniseries in the last few year, namely The Slap and Cloudstreet.

British TV has always had a strong background in period/costume drama and literary adaptations - which are widely popular and sell all over the world but have never been cool. British TV people for years have been saying "Why can't we make something as dark and edgy as The Wire or The Sopranos or [fill in the blank]". In the last year or two, we're wondering why we can't make series like the above-named Scandinavian crime dramas. BigWords is right in that the writing strength in depth isn't there, though the best writers are very good.

The money isn't there either - we can't run a police show over 22 or 24 episodes in the UK as it would eat the budget of three or four shows. We used to run longer season-length stuff (Avengers, The Champions, all the Richard Greene Robin Hood and Ivanhoe things from days of yore) but somewhere along the line it was decided that audiences wouldn't sit through more than six or twelve episodes of something.

Her teachers are going to send a letter any day now... *sigh*

Not as long as you were clear that just because she hears a word, doesn't mean she should use it.


Although, you probably should be coming up with slight less colorful, but more safely repeatable phrases and expressions. It takes a little getting used to, but it works and avoids awkward notes from teachers. Or clergy. Or her parents.

"Frosts my cookies" was, for example, one of mine. Totally safe. Not how it was meant, but totally safe around little ears. That were always around. As my dad found out the hard way the first time we visited.

:D

And some of Whelan's illustrations for the Dark Tower series were simply *gorgeous.* So there's nothing wrong with that.

She's dangerous-level smart - she has been told off for dropping the f-bomb, and then went around saying "fox, fox, fox, fox, fox, fox, fox."
