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.

*snorts* seriously? that's meant to be news? I already have my carpet and drapes picked out for my special spot. haha

Yep (http://ficwriter1966.livejournal.com/126539.html). Though honestly I only skimmed the entry

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)

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.

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*

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

I like the spam. :)

Best Week Ever is one of the few shows on VH1 that I'll actually watch (when/if I get the chance).
and they apparently have their own website: BWE. it appears they have full eps of the show on there...maybe only the most recent...not sure.
and there's a slew of clips and stuff on youtube. my favorite clip being this one of John Mayer doing a 'Chocolate Rain' remix.
don't know if it's still as funny as when it first came on, seeing as I haven't seen it in a while...

As long as you like it :)

i read most of it. i so want to go to her journal and comment. 'cause like she said in hers, calling hers "my little corner of the internet." ....well, i'm not into the supernatural RPS fandom, but i'm in others(as I currently roleplay Finnish metal band RPS slash >:3), and that's in OUR little corner of the internet. we, mostly, don't go into hers and tell her "EW HET SUX" or anything else she's doing, so she doesn't need to do the same. she don't like it? s'fine. she can go to her own little corner of the internet and whine about how we're all sick disgusting perverts because pretty men having sex is pretty and we like it. -foofs and grumbles- i personally think that "straight porn" as she referenced, is mostly demeaning to women, especially the high amount of porn that features the dirty talking, like "oh yeah fuck my pussy do that hard, i'm a whore" etcetera etcetera... women are treated so terribly in most porns, it's much more fun to watch guys going at it -beams- and if they happen to play brothers on screen? love between brothers can be beautiful and breathtaking. there's a difference between the incest of
older brother: -comes into room at night and rapes-
younger brother: -traumatized for life, and now has a flawed view of "love"-

and

older brother: -honestly loves his brother and would do anything for him-
younger brother: idolizes older brother and is glad that he can share such a deep connection with him-

i believe miss "i think it makes me vomit" has not even thought that we like the second kind, and that we all write the first kind. sure it's wrong morally, but its FICTION! -quotes eddie izzard- It is a myth! it is not true! ...well it's fiction, but same thing :P

HEAR HEAR!

People annoy me. *nods*

-beams- I should word it more eloquently and actually go post that to her, and hell, i'm not even INTO the fandom(not because i think they're ugly or anything, i just have no time T_T). shows how much i understand lmao


especially such closed-minded people.
