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.

maybe after this person see what sir ian have said she will just drop the subject and crawl back into her selfrightous hole

[loose-pages-sd.livejournal.com]

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.

uh-huh. I guess this is one of those cases where I'm glad I really don't know what's going on with fandom (or just wank in this case) most of the time. I really meant it the other day when I said you're my source of news for all things fandom newsworthy. and I just thought of Dragnet when the one guy says "Just the facts, ma'am." because that's you. haha (I'll go now)

First of all, MAJOR ICON LOVE. AHA - yes.
Second of all, Ian McKellen can outcool anyone.
(Your bolding is awesome, BTW.)

Ian McKellen is so made of win and now I need to go and watch him read bits of reality stars biographies again.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

He really is. The winningest win.

[bitter-crimson.livejournal.com]

This is why everybody wants to bone him. I mean, that and him being all awesome and talented.

dont sound so sure...i wonder if this z the same chick that asked jared at eyecon about fanfiction. i mean even if he says u know "omg i just cant stand it its so gross!!!" what makes her think that its gonna cause a sudden stop in fanfiction.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Thank you thank you.
He really could and probably does.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Wow. I feel I should be more on top of things, cos I seriously think I'm the last person on my flist to find out about such things and half the time I don't actually SEE any of the goings on I just hear about them.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

*gets Ian to bow*

Well, to be fair SOME fanfic writers should be ashamed. :p *runs away*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

And also old, gay and British and pretty.

[loose-pages-sd.livejournal.com]

ROFL.

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot how amazing he is thank you for reminding me

[uglyduckling-me.livejournal.com]

no, no, no I think you're doing a fine job! have you ever watched Best Week Ever? You're kinda like that. Anything that's pertinent will eventually be here somewhere and anything that's easy to mock/whatever will be posted as well. And if you think you're the last person on your flist to know stuff...think how I must feel if I get all my info from you! :p
And I know half the stuff wouldn't be nearly as funny if I had read them from the source or wherever.
and yeah, I know that totally spam your comments when I actually leave one...I try hard not too...*sheepish grin*

PSH. I'll be burning in Hell, don't get me wrong. But it won't have anything to do with my like or dislike of Wincest. I was given my first class ticket to Hell years ago, by perving on the HP boys when they were still illegal, baby ;) lol

[laurondo.livejournal.com]

I don't know who he is, but it seems he's pretty super.

[apey1013.livejournal.com]

If I were a dude I would so be that man's groupie.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't believe I know this Best Week Ever but it sounds kind of interesting.

I like the spam. :)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I think that just might get you a slap on the wrist, I mean Daniel went on to fuck a horse ... he's going to burn baby burn.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

You are welcome.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

You can probably be one without the dick.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

*blinks* Are you uhm, serious? I ... Can't. I don't ... How? *incoherent*
