Here, have some chai tea and an aluminum foil beanie.

And I agree with you. I dislike slash, but only when it has canons acting out of character or having sex with relatives or trivializes rape or other things like that. I get flamed for this sometimes. One person posted several all-caps flames calling me an immature, stupid, homophobic little bitch on my dA homepage because I had said that I didn't think two certain canons would have sex with each other. Sigh...

I missed the one below and thought I'd accidentally cliked Preview instead of Post. *grins*

I'd be grateful if someone could switch it to the Claimed Badfic list on the wiki; I don't trust myself to edit it properly.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking it's the people who get so gloddammed angry about the exist of gay people and characters that aren't natural/normal. They clearly have some issues. (My gay-ness is perfectly natural, thank you very much, and what's so great about being normal, anyway?)

The rest of the series is decent, but it's increasingly difficult to keep going if you're not a true fan. By the fourth book, the universe and the characters have changed too much to my taste. Although I am otherwise an atheist, I firmly believe that Status Quo Is God. That's why Duncan Idaho is my favorite character: while everything changes, and not always for the better, Duncan remains.

I know that Leto II warns us against status quo and stagnation, using his 1500-year reign as a scheme to force humankind to evolve, but I refuse to follow the Golden Path. Long live the old empire!

I'm claiming "Why Mione Hates Ron" from Unclaimed Badfic on the wiki- just a note.

*hands out Convenient Cake*

And I've read that parody. That was weird. *laughs*

I don't watch Home and Away - I only know the title because half the people in Australia seemed to watch it - so usually I'd ignore anything about it, but according to this article, the show recently introduced a lesbian love story and is being berated for it.

The first thing that jumped to my mind when I read that was one of Pads' responses to my interview questions about fanfiction a few months ago: She said a lot of fanfic slash is "a response to the total lack of slash available offline", and that "The media is saturated with sex, and it's all heterosexual sex. A fairly hefty proportion of the population is alienated by the images they're subjected to all day, every day. I'd like a rather more realistic portrayal of sexuality, and that means including gay characters as well as straight."

And she's absolutely right. I'm not a slash fan, but I get really, really angry reading things like this:

"I think it's another example of an agenda that's being pushed by several parts of our society to try and depict the gay lifestyle as normal and natural," says Presbyterian Youth Minister Andrew Vines.

"Normal and natural"? It IS "normal" and "natural"! It's not for everyone, but... *growls*

Thoughts?


(And let me add I'm ranting. I know that not everyone will agree with me, but it's a touchy subject, so please, guys, don't let this turn into a nasty argument, 'kay? Friendly discussion only. I don't want to be responsible for a flaming mess.)

*Dies, then gets Life Noted by random spork bunnies. Made of sporks. He dies again after seeing them.*

Wow, this is Party Madness. I can't even type a correct sentence.

The Infernal Trio was busy drinking Bleepka (or Bleepodwine for Krisprolls), eating all the stuff and participating to the Silly String battle, rather randomly it would seem.
And U2 was playing at full volume on the speakers.

In honour of this, your eighteenth birthday, I present you with a sack of pebbles, your own sling and a basket of Bleeprin-berries - very healthy and deliciously memory-erasing.

The Sisterhood has a great deal pegged on the correct mixing of genes from the carefully cultivated Andrews line to one of their younger acolytes (Ms. Cooper). However, they also see the political advantage to let this ABOMINATION of a marriage proceed... but with the bloodline carefully controlled.

If you disbelieve me, this message comes direct from a Reverend Mother planted deep in the teaching roster of Riverdale High (you know which one).

but happy birthday anyway!

lol at the parody fic.

It's been stuck on 'cute' permanently, so don't worry about accidentally hugging a stuffed Demogorgon or something. *noms cake and drinks bleepka*

Thanks!

Here, have an Anti-Lustin backpack!

Have an otter plushie! Isso soft...

*noms on cake*

No, Archie isn't Paul. Besides, I've never pictured Paul as a redhead.
