I've quoted it before. And I've quoted it again. And again. And again. And a few months from now, I'll probably quote it again.

So here it is.

Actor Ian McKellen, who plays Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings films, says on his Web site: "I find nothing harmful in sharing fantasies about favourite characters or their interpreters even real person stories seem unobjectional as they are clearly fictional."


and that's all I have to say about that.

Huh. I had no idea he'd said that. Good for him. I bet if I were having moral issues about this that would make me feel better. But, yeah. I'm really not, so it's just interesting. I'll stop rambling now.

Right there with you. I mean on the moral issues part.

The words fantasies and fictional stand out to me.

Apparently (and this is brand new information wank) those of us who are all 'Woo hoo. Gay RPS! Woo hoo Wincest!' are going to burn in hell. Or something.

Man that makes me wanna watch my LotR Special Features! *runs over to pop in DVD* Oh, wait, that's right...my psycho ex-roommate STOLE the special features discs >.<

I love Ian McKellen. It's AWESOME that he said that, so, well, at least we know SOME celebs are okay with it. I think he secretly just likes reading Legolas/Gandalf porn and that's his subtle way of encouraging it. ;) heee

Also, I don't think you're going to burn in hell, Smidge, assuming you redact your statement that I'm gonna for not being into Wincest. You fucker lol ;)

well played. *applause*

What I find so hilarious is that in an entry from maybe a week ago, this person said something like how some people, like the actors or the media, think that fanfic writers ought to be ashamed of their work, which *she does not appreciate* (totally paraphrased, but it's point number 4, here. Cracks me up.

It's just so tired to be a drama queen about this. I don't understand why she didn't f-lock the post in the first place, since it seemed to be addressed to her flist. Or, you know, back speedily away from the evil slashy fandom.

Hey Smidge! I have a favor to ask you, because you have become my go-to icon maker extraordinaire! (I know it's totally obnoxious to just come to your journal and ask, so if you would like to resign from the icon maker extraordinaire position, have your people contact my people.) I suck at making icons, mostly because... I suck at making all graphics? If you knew how many hours went into making the awful jagged edged unattractive lines on my layout, you would laugh for a week.

I was wondering if pooooossibly you wouldn't mind making me an icon that says "Jensen Ackles has had a hard life," or something along those lines? It doesn't have to have a picture, and I don't have a preference or anything if it DOES have a picture. I just... need this icon, very very badly.

Date: 2008-04-20 09:30 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com
I can do that and I really don't mind doing that, but it'll have to be later cos it's my bedtime. Also, are you really sure you would like me to do that because while my icons are sometimes okay, there are a helluva lot of better icon makers out there who would be happy to make you one ...

[pause for break]

okay. did these. if you're not happy let me know and I'll try something else.
