and all things at peace

Carefully peering out to check for more Dow crashes. Suddenly, the story about the sky falling makes so very much sense.

Accomplishments

I wrote fic about a dangerously incompetent cat-nabbing ring.

I read Prison Break fic and try to keep some kind of sanity in the face of OMG HOT.

Much More Interesting Stuff

Oh! Fanlore Wiki is open!

Now, you, too, can document fannish history in wiki form. Which is actually weirdly fun, since me and general_jinjur emailed back and forth saying things like "Wait, when did DVD commentaries in general start?" and "Are you sure 2005?" and "OOho, but I saw one earlier I think!" So we can cite. Because this is happiness.

Um. Go, play, remember embarrassing things about fannish history to add. You totally know you want to!

And Last Stuff

2008 DVD Commentary Challenge closes at 11:59 PM tomorrow. You have all today and all tomorrow.

Now, this is where I also say, if you have started already and you know you are going to be delayed, email me or Jin ASAP. This is for indexing purposes--we don't shut down the community between challenge dates, but we don't like, check it either for indexing all that often. You can leave it here or in the latest entry at the community, but please do tell us. That way we'll both know to go look at it and add it to the master list.

And that's it for now. If today is like yesterday, perhaps we will have more Portraits of Stockbrokers in Distress.

Cat nabbing ring?

And the Dow is something I am going to ignore today. Really.

I've only been in fandom for about... :: Counts fingers :: 2 years? Really? Huh. Anyway. I have no idea what to add to something like that, but I sure will read it.

:: Sigh :: Far too true on that last bit.

Two years, two months, two hours. *waves hands* Still part of fannish history! Plus, it's fun to read, tbh. I am trying to think of things to add. I get excitable.

[ladyholder.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. I noticed that about you.

And if I have anything to add, I'll throw my $0.02 in.

Go with God, and take a cold shower afterward. GUH.

If you're actually looking for an answer on DVD commentaries, they started in the summer of 2004, in popslash, as originated by the lj user formerly known as lisew/pop-tarts. Unfortunately, she deleted her journal, so there's no patient X in that regard.

Thanks for that PB fic rec! It's zooming its way to my Kindle as we speak! :)

From the annals of meta!

Oh look! It's a journal-type article!

And I generally concur with the author's assessment.

After I stopped grinning at the link to my fic, I looked at Fanlore Wiki. Huh. I think I'm going to spend a lot of hours just reading through that site. It's surprisingly fascinating.

I believe that my dvd commentary on The Water Grinds The Stone by Auburn is going to be permanently delayed. I might have it ready by *next* year.

Um. My DVD commentary (on *your* story, no less) is going to be late - it'll be done sometime this weekend. RL is kicking my ass.
