Questions Post #6

[lettered]

So, since it's a holiday, I'm reducing my normal fare to two questions.

1.What's one thing you really hated about fandom last year?

A fight, a wank, a post, a trend in fic, a trend in meta, a fic, a friend, a person, that time when you weren't getting your lj notices, Joyce Summers, a 'ship, the sock puppet phenomenon, anything.

Whine, bitch, moan, complain, get your hate on, sign out and be anonymous, sign out and be wanky, sign out and flame me. Because fandom is like a piñata. It's fun to bash.

2.What's one thing you really loved about fandom last year?

A rec, a meta, a breakthrough in fic writing, a fandom experience, meeting a fandom someone in rl, lj's extra userpics, joining a new fandom, seeing a movie/reading a book etc that you will fangirl/boy about, anything.

Love, gush, hug, squish, slather me with goo and lick it off, put coffee liquer on Spike's cock and make Angel lick it off. Because fandom is like a piñata. You can bash it as much as you want but there's still good stuff to be had. Stuff that's fun to suck on. Like Spike's...er. Um. See? Fandom is love.

Not only does Spike's head look like a Ken doll (now that you mention it) but it looks like the one my best friend owned after her bother chewed the nose off!

1. Kerfuffles where people were reduced to a bunch of bitchy 11 year old girls. I think lots of people are too sensitive and people don't undrestand that "tone of voice" is often not what we think it is in lj.

2. New wonderful writers. Like you and lostakasha

tone of voice

Ha, that's a good way to put it. But I have similar issues even in rl--sometimes I think my tone of voice sounds not how I mean it to sound, or even not how I feel. I guess I sound annoyed and pissed off a lot.

Like you and lostakasha

Aw, thanks. And isn't lostakasha awesome? She kindles my Cordy love.

Oh yeah, and so glad you agree about the Ken doll. He uses way more product than Angel, but Angel's always the one who gets the crap about it. But! JM has a nose, so I'm not sure how the nose-chew Ken doll fits in...

*waits for doll!spike fic*

Actually, there's a fic at AFF.N with the summary: "An author has fun with her Spike action figure..." It's got me so scared...and yet, strangely fascinated.

I wonder if Spike's head is removeable the way Ken's was. And the ken doll I had had flocked hair that was glued on (a crewcut.) I am disturbed by this whole discussion now.

Yay! For some reason, I see you as someone rather difficult to disturb.

Which is why I keep using this icon. Eeee!

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I raise that Eeeee! and put in an Eeewww.

And I am difficult to disturb. You've seen my icon. That came out of my loins! (Slightly smaller sized)

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Stop talking about your loins! Eeeewww!

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'll have you know that my loins are quite loinful. Except for that stretch mark and that huge ass scar.

The marks of motherhood are sexy.

To someone, I'm sure. ;o)
