Livejournal Questions

[lettered]

This actually has nothing to do with the recent drama.

I have a confession to make. I'm a genius. But I'm really tragically stupid also.


-how to put on a header. And why everyone can figure it out but me.
-what a DDoS attack is. Looked it up on Wikipedia. Still really don't understand.
-where everyone gets the equipment to do all the icons and everything they do. Seems to me that stuff costs a fortune.
-how to write short fanfic.
-who Rodney is.
-Henry Jenkins.
-GIP.
-how NOT to hotlink some images. I can do it if the image is in a format Photobucket will upload, otherwise I don't understand.
-how people keep up with their flists.
-how people keep up with stuff like which new cat macro is funniest.
-how anyone keeps up with anything.
-why seraphcelene can't be here RIGHT NOW, I dunno, making pie with me.
-how people find out people are talking about them when said people are not talking to them. It's not that I don't like gossip. It's that I don't understand it. I literally seem to have trouble paying attention to anything not aimed straight at me with a missile launcher.
-why I like Harry/Draco.
-flangst.
-how people not being able to post really isn't connected to the Great Strikethrough.
-how to play most online videos, or dl the equipment.
-birthdays.
-why I didn't find a plane ticket to NYC for an earlier day so I could watch DB with a2zmom.
-Spike.
-betas.
-most emoticons.
-who Jo is.
-what Due South is.

Comment cont. because LJ has forced me into life as a constant drabble. *stabs*

Jo is a character on SPN. She's the child of a hunter like Sam and Dean. She is young, blonde, rebellious and wants to be a hunter but her mom (who is a tough barkeeping woman with a whisky-soaked voice) doesn't want her to because her daddy died doing it. She was originally going to evolve into a love interest for Dean. Many SPN fans HATED her. They thought she was either Mary Sue-ish OR incapable. For some reason, girls who sleep with Sam are generally liked in fandom, but girls who get in on with Dean are often reviled. The same is frequently true in the RL equivalents.

life as a constant drabble

It's funny how I who can never keep anything short still get to post long comments. It'd probably be good for me to live life in drabbles.

I saw you rec a fic with Jo and I had no idea who the frick it was. Thought it was a Little Women crossover. I had never heard of her until you recced that (still haven't read it) but now I see her all over the place. Did *you* hate her? And did they end up not making her a love interest for Dean?

And that's weird about Dean vs. Sam. To make a gross generalization without the facts to back it up, it always seemed to me that a higher percentage of Spuffy shippers hated Buffy than B/Aers hated Buffy. Um, somehow that statement was related to what you said.

Heh. For someone who writes short fic, I tend to write LONG posts. Blergh.

And I liked Jo fine. But I am also one inclined to be welcoming of women on the show. I'm not like *crazy* about her, but in that fic I recced I really felt like I got her more. And so would you--it tells you everything you'd need to know about her. Stulti read and recced it, even though she's never seen SPN. It is PLOTTY (and believable) femslash and there is ANGEL in it. Angel in the Hyperion with Faith and like 300 slayers.

And that last connection you made makes sense to me, but I can't articulate why exactly right now. Something about "bad boys." Hmmmmm.
