Open Note to DW

In view of yesterday's--events?--thank you for continuing fantastic server performance. Considering right now that every page without custom comments in LJ is causing me loading problems, posting problems, and doing anything at all problems, there's a level of pathetic gratitude that I can hit reply on DW and it works.

LJ Users

The fail-fandomanon comm has what appears to be an (almost) perfect copy of the old style comment page on LJ. Does anyone know if the mod is friendly and will share code? I couldn't find it in the threads, but I'm almost sure I saw it there. I did a fast and dirty switch to a layout I can live with (sort of), but ff_a's comment page is precisely what I want.

Trailers

I have feelings on The Hobbit and Batman trailers. I mean, in theory, you can only rewatch them so many times before boredom ensues, and yet, not bored yet. So much want.

Also, is series two Sherlock premiering on 1/1/2012 or is that a vicious, terrible rumor that will break my heart when it doesn't happen? Tell me this is true. This is very relevant to my interests.

ETA: Sherlock Series 2 on 1/1/2012 is confirmed in comments by

norabombay and

apetslife! Now going to quietly squee in my cubicle, as people get very uncomfortable when I do it too loudly even if I explain why. Real Life = very strange sometimes.

I'm 99.9% certain that the code will be happily shared. Ask for it- I've seen it int he threads, but if you ask for links it should show up.

YEs, there is Sherlock coming. Think of the porn people. Think of the porn. Because right now the fandom is reduced to writing John/Mycroft MPREG, which really, cannot possibly be a good idea.

Well, hey, at least neither would skip the alimony payments.

Read the horror:

While the child is probably in for decades of therapy, at least it will be able to afford it.

Mycroft/John is just so. WRONG.

This is fandom; we have no "wrongs" that fit normal definitions.

...we just have really poor execution of particularly uncanny notions.

I guess it is better to say "hurts my soul".

I'm also not fond of Mycroft/Lestrade, as it always seems like it's Mycroft fucking the help. Like, Lestrade is essentially his brother's nanny in this relationship....

To be fair, he seems to be stuck with the job in canon too, until John's arrival.

Right. There is nothing wrong with being Sherlock's nanny. (I say this as someone who once had a live in dog nanny).

It's more that people in Mycroft's position shouldn't have sex with the help. It's tacky. It's just not done.

And the Mycroft/Lestrade pairing feels like that. I suspect this is an area where you would get very different stories out of American and UK authors...

But Mycroft runs England. At that point, who could he chat up without it being some grand abuse of position?

(Huh. Now I'm imagining the potential of Lestrade's French roots into the equation.)

Presumably someone who is in an equally world running position, or someone who is in another field entirely? Mycroft is in some ways, in power over the police.

But could he really direct the actions of say a reality TV producer? Or a university administrator in the same way?

It's the 'sherlock's nanny' part that makes it weird, because in that capacity, Mycroft is directly bossing about, instead of from a disatance.

...do you really he think he couldn't? He's a Holmes, they're full of ways. And wiles. Oh, such wiles, they have.

Nanny is just another word for well-paid spy, and we saw for certain that Mycroft is okay with that.

But, really, in the end my only true complaint with M/J or M/L is that I think Mycroft would look terrible in a tux. There. I said it.)

*cough* and that's pretty uncanny by anybody's measuring stick...

...

I cannot ever un-know that this exists, now. ZOMG.

Because right now the fandom is reduced to writing John/Mycroft MPREG, which really, cannot possibly be a good idea.

Wow, there is nothing about that sentence that doesn't make me want to cry.

Read it and weep.

John finds himself knocked up with MyCroft's kid.

It. It. I was just BOGGLED. Especially the bit at the end where Mycroft is super enthused and already plotting the education of the child.

John is flipping out because you can't have a baby living with Sherlock, especially if it's not Sherlock's baby. And living with Mycroft is just as awful.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking- wouldn't that be a really high risk pregnancy? John is not young.

Mycroft/John is just one of those things that is AMAZINGLY awful, unless it is some sort of creepy dirty bad wrong situation.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking- wouldn't that be a really high risk pregnancy? John is not young.

People always forget that, too. Have they never heard of the risks of gestational diabetes? Pre-eclaympsia? Gah. At John's age, it's dangerous.

I mean, he's like 40. I'm 35, and apparently if I was to have a child I would be at at geriatric maternal age, especially for a first child.

Add in whatever unknown lingering effects there are from the war injuries, and ugh. He'd be in the high risk OB's office instantly. And I can't imagine the various genetic tests they would want to run.

S2 of Sherlock is premiering Jan 1 on BBC, which means it might be Jan 2 before it's *koff*available*koff* elsewhere.

Wiki says one thing; Tor says another.

OH, THE VICIOUS VICIOUS LIMBO OF UNKNOWING.

The ffa mods are really pretty great.

Pertinent thread:

http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/25251.html?thread=110792355

Brilliant! I thought I'd seen a link, but I couldn't remember where it was.

Thank you so much!

Ah, I was hoping to edit.

PBS appears to have rescheduled their air dates for Sherlock to be closer to the BBC premiere as of today too: January 15, 22 & 29, 2012 at 10pm

No announcement from them via tweet though, which I find strange.

ETA: Further investigation suggests that it's just a rebroadcast of series 1. Disregard!

But more importantly, have you seen all the new clips yet? They are incredible. Fandom can barely contain itself.

Sherlock Series 2 on 1/1/2012 is confirmed

*pulls face* I want to be happy about this, but I'm kind of not. Mostly because at that time, I'll be on a cruise, floating about the ocean and probably won't have access to download it right away.

(And a little because the only thing I've really written this year is a Sherlock post-s1 story of 25k words and it won't be beta'd and posted until mid-late Jan. But I'd get over my own ego if I didn't know I'd be waiting two weeks to see the new episodes.)

Series Two Sherlock IS premiereing on 1/1/2012! Confirmed by Mark Gatiss himself!

with lots of sherlock :DDD

Have to confirm your thoughts on the trailers. Awesome doesn't even get close to it. :-)

I have to reply just to have an excuse to use a Leto icon ;D

NEW SHERLOCK IN THE NEW YEAR \o/

Varnish error 503. How coincidental is that?

I was just thinking that maybe I'd code up a complete layout that mimics the old default. I think it might go over pretty well right now.

Yes, it is indeed confirmed! And my layout changed too in my posts. What is up with that? If you make any progress in figuring out how to retun to the status quo, can you please let me know?

Xmen-firstkink has been working on similar coding and I know there's a bunch in the comments of this link.

http://xmen-firstkink.livejournal.com/7398.html

I am SO EXCITED. Also, I did not know until I watched the trailer that Martin Freeman was Bilbo! And then I looked at the IMDB page and guess who is playing his arch-nemesis Smaug?? Two guesses and the first one doesn't count :D :D :D

Have you been having a hard time getting CSS customization to take? I found a code that I love but every time I try to apply it nothing takes, and I didn't know if anyone else was having issues with this.
